Canada.
And "it's always been like this" is a <I>damn</I> poor excuse for discrimination. Did women seek "special rights" when they wanted to be able to vote, redefining citizenship against all the weight of historical precedent? (And the U.S. wasn't the first country to sign off on that one, either.)
This is such an insipid excuse to legalize an immoral lifestyle it does not bear addressing. The U.S. should not allow Canada or anyother country to dictate our mores for any reason. As a nation we have been instrumental in leading the world and to now follow other countries down the slippery slope to destruction is ludicrous.
. Matt 19:3-6
3 And some Pharisees came to Him, testing Him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause at all?" 4 And He answered and said, "Have you not read, that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said,' For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh'? 6 "Consequently they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
NAS
Gal 3:24-29
24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we may be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
NAS
Rev 21:1-8
21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them, 4 and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. " 5 And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." 6 And He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. 7 "He who overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son. 8 "But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
NAS
I will put my faith and trust in the sovereign authority of our Creator long before I will in fallible men who allow liberal concepts to lead us down the primerose path to hell.
I have reopened your thread Why do you oppose gay marriage?.
This thread is closed, however, you can continue your liberal ranting on this thread. I have stated all I intend to on this subject. I am just as intractable as you are so to continue to beat this subject is a total waste of time for those who accept the sovereignty of God.
