pazienza: @pointB Your stance on this matter reeks of hypocrisy. There are many laws given to the hebrews by moses,most of these laws are obsolete,they served the hebrews of biblical era,but can't serve us in this our era,so they were abandoned. Why should you go and pick one of these laws and use it to support your bigotry, it's all or nothing,if you know that you can't keep all the moses laws,then stop picking and choosing.

I disagree with you. I am looking at it purely from the religious angle. I understand there is a social and political side to the issue. But that is not my concern at the moment. I think the hypocrisy allegation should be directed to the clergy who despite what the Bible say decides to look the other way. In any case, I also don't agree that that aspect of Biblical teaching should be consigned to the past era, and you certainly cannot accuse me of picking and choosing, because one of the verses I referenced is of the new testament.

Besides in my first submission, I made it very clear that the State and Religious are separate entity and must not be confused as one. The state reserves the rights to make laws to govern the people no matter how absurd and immoral such laws may be. However, it is the duty of the Church to preach the world of God as written in the Bible, without pandering to the State or their selfish interest.

This your question na wa. Where did I suggest such a thing? I wasn't talking about activities that don't lead to procreation, I was talking about being sex.ually attracted to members of the same sex.

In one of your posts,you seem to be suggesting that homosexuality is an anomaly cos,according to you it has the capacity to cause the extinction of species, no?

The reason for a state registering a marriage should be because it will potentially bring children.
