Greece, First Orthodox Christian Country To Legalise Same-sex Marriage by HonNL: 1:22pm On Feb 16

Greece’s parliament voted late on Thursday to pass a landmark bill legalizing same-sex marriage and granting full parental rights to same-sex couples.

“The vote has passed: as of tonight, Greece is proud to become the 16th EU country to legislate marriage equality,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis posted on X. “This is a milestone for human rights, reflecting today’s Greece — a progressive, and democratic country, passionately committed to European values,” he added.

The legislation has divided politics in the country, and was strongly opposed by some conservatives and the powerful Christian Orthodox church.

Around a third of Mitsotakis’ ruling conservative New Democracy party abstained or voted against the bill, but the legislation passed with the help of three center-left and left-wing opposition parties — a rare instance of cross-party support in the country’s parliament.

But the bill also caused ructions within progressive parties, in a sign of how divisive the legislation is in Greece. A third of the Socialist Pasok party abstained in the vote, alongside three MPs from left-wing Syriza and two from New Left.

A total of 176 MPs backed the bill in the 300-seat parliament, while 76 voted against and the rest abstained. The vote makes Greece the first Orthodox country to legalize same-sex marriage.

The legislation clears the way for same-sex couples to adopt and gives the same rights to both parents as a child’s legal guardian. But the bill still does not grant the right to surrogacy for same-sex couples.

Prominent conservatives railed against the bill. “Same-sex marriage does not constitute a human right,” ex-Prime Minister Antonis Samaras told lawmakers. “Τhe government should be careful: Overconfidence can lead it to become disconnected from reality and from the society.”

Despite significant opposition from within his own party, the move allows Mitsotakis to further encroach on the territory of centrists and liberals. It may also go some way in helping repair his government’s tarnished international image from an ongoing spying scandal and concerns over media freedom.

Last week, the European Parliament passed a resolution expressing strong concerns about systemic violations of the rule of law, media freedom and fundamental rights in Greece.

On Thursday, in an unprecedented move, Greece’s Supreme Court issued a direct reply to the resolution arguing that it was based on “vague and unsubstantiated allegations” and constitutes a “direct interference in the work of the Greek judicial authorities.”

Just as it was in the days of Noah and Lot, this Generation is heading into full blown sodomy as Nations, leaders and individuals are pointing their fists on GOD and telling HIM "we will do whatever we like, Do your worst"!

Just as God sent Noah to warn the people of the coming Destruction, we are here warning the Nations, leaders and people of the undiluted Wrath of GOD that is casting its Shadows on the Earth.

WARNING!!!! GOD WILL DESTROY HUMANITY AGAIN!!!

Let the Nations, leaders and people on earth make amends, repent from these wickedness and turn to the Living GOD.

The Life Boat is JESUS CHRIST!!!

Why should anyone be surprised? The End times are here.

No matter what anyone or any country does, It still doesn't change the fact that same sex marriage is perversion. A sin against God.

Again you are reminded:

We are all called to preach the gospel of salvation with our talent and in our circle of influence.

Whether on Facebook, twitter or through music, video or any way at all, we are meant to get the message out there.

There is this erroneous impression that only a select few who experience a special spiritual incident are called by God or meant to be in ministry.

That is very wrong.

So long as you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you have been called to preach the gospel of salvation, whether heaven opened or not to you in the dream:

Rev.17.14 - These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful."

The same Commission given to the disciples has also been given to you:

Matt.28.19 - Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

The nonsense started in America when Obama went to Supreme Court and won the case to legalize gay marriage and since then it has spread all over the world. The whole world follows America in whatever America does and many do it blindly

Dear fellow Christians please note that Homosexuality is a sin does not apply to Jews, They are free to believe that Jesus is a son of a LovePeddler. Spit on Christians and demolish churches it doesn't matter they are God's chosen people.
Jews that fought God and win.
That's explain why christians worship them and they can't do wrong in our eyes

It's Adam & Eve NOT Adam & Steve. Unfortunately it rampant in Nigeria most especially Abuja. I had neighbor who was a man, the whole people visiting him were men not even one girl for the 4 years he stayed in that apartment and labelled them 'friends". They even have whatsapp, telegram and are on social media with rainbow color on their profile, most people confuse them to be celestial members.

The joke is on them...why??

Christianity and Islam were never a black man or African religions, they were theirs..
Gayism and lez were not predominantly our ideas, it was theirs...

It is their problems not ours, and if u choose to follow them then it is ur problem not mine.

People are beginning to realize that it unnatural for the more than 7 billion people on earth to be born straight. That's not how nature works. There'll always be exceptions. Look around you and tell me one aspect of nature that has no exception? None because diversity is the beauty of nature. So let's be practical in thoughts and acknowledge the fact that same sex attraction is part of human nature. It has always existed and it'll always exist.
