It's really neither here nor there about feelings, whether one is threatened or not by another person's life choices. It doesn't even matter what any of our opinions are regarding it. The mentality that breeds terrorists is trusting in the flesh, and not trusting the truth of God, not loving one another, not showing Christ's love toward even our enemies.
People fighting, arguing, debating angrily, disregarding one another, envious of others, seething against each other, humiliating one another, trying to make others jealous, despising others, looking for opportunities to make a jab at someone, hating people because of varying beliefs. It's all pride, all fleshly. That's what causes wars.
James 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

Since homosexual sexual activity is an abomination to God.. Public affirmation of such a relationship via marriage would also be an abomination to God so Gays should not be allowed to marry..
In a free society no one should be forced to offer services to anyone.. Once a person is forced by law to offer a service to another it ceases to be free trade and becomes servitude / slavery ..

I am not threatened by Homosexuality.. But homosexuals are greatly threatened by people teaching them that homosexuality is natural and a good thing.. If they embrace that lie and reject the Atonement for their sin that Jesus has secured for them then they will be cast into the eternal lake of fire and will be in torment there for ever and ever..
So the ones who are in great trouble are homosexuals.. Our efforts to give them warning about their lifestyle and our efforts to oppose worldly governments laws designed to establish homosexuality to be good and natural come from a desire to see the Homosexuals avoid the eternal lake of fire and to have eternal life in Gods perfect eternal existence...
Others have brought up other sins like Adultery.. But out government are not putting forward laws which proclaim Adultry to be a good thing.. The reason for the focus on homosexuality is because of the gay pride movement which seeks to convince gays that their lifestyle is natural and good..

Wow. First time I visit the forums after registering, and what do I see - yet another article about persecution of one's fellowman.
Yes, I'm referring to the post above by "Waggles".
The world around us is filled with enough hatred, belligerence, distrust, and righteous judgment of others. Must we also use the Scripture as a weapon to wage this war? Yes, the Bible makes all sorts of proclamations - if they all had to be accepted without context (such as the times when those passages were written), then we would also have to wholly accept sayings like "An eye for an eye".
I don't care what two men or two women decide to do in the privacy of their own home. They are the way they are because God made them that way. If you have a problem with their gayness, take it up with their Creator.

I have learned that you have rejected the Word of God..
Leviticus 18: KJV
22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Leviticus 20: KJV
13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Leviticus 18: KJV

It is not about what You care about regarding what two men or two woman decide to do in the privacy of their own home..
The important thing is that God cares about what two men or two woman are doing in the privacy of their own home...
Romans 1: KJV
27"And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. {28} And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"

So using that same logic we can say murderers where made by God that way.. So do not declare murder to be sin..
What about for pedophile abusers of children why not use your logic and say it's ok because God made pedophiles that way...
I hope you can see just how perverted your thinking is..
We are all sinners and all sinners must acknowledge their sins before God to have them forgiven by the Blood of the LORD Jesus Christ..... So they must be informed of the standards of God.. And they must be informed that they have transgressed the standards of God so that they can a acknowledge their sins and be forgiven..

In the eternal scheme of things what is legal or illegal according to worldly authorities is irrelevant...
So if a pedophile dad wants to marry his 5 year old daughter it is discrimination to take a stand against that in your book...
Or maybe a man wants to marry an animal is it discrimination to stand against that ?
Or again a man wants to marry a corpse is that ok in your Zero discrimination world ?
