Hello, and good afternoon! I just spent way too much time reading the Newsweek article regarding gay marriage. WOW to say the least. I know this is a very hot button issue and more than likely I will face some harsh reactions to my post.

Disclaimer: These are my own thoughts and feelings regarding the matter, no one else's(unless they agree with me). I do not wish any one any personal hard feelings or wish to discriminate anyone baised on your own personal beliefs, because after all, the issue of the matter is being discriminated against because of personal beliefs and actions... So, please do not discriminate me because of my own beliefs and actions.

That is the link to the article.

I have something pretty simple to say about it honestly. I mean, I, in no way, endorse gay marriage. I do believe that it is discriminating against them by not allowing them to legally have the benefits of traditional marriage (such as insurance, estates etc...) But, from a Christian stand point I do with all of my heart believe that it is a sin. I believe that God thinks it is wrong, just as wrong as having sex before marriage, murder and thousands of other sins...(although He specifically speaks out against sexual sins).

I want to say that although I do not wish to put my own judgement on someone and tell them they will be going to Hell because of their life style choice. That is not my place, and I am not about to cast the first stone.

I do believe, however, that the choices of biblical times are not popular today. God is the Aplpha and the Omega, and what He commands should not have ever gone out of style. Granted, the world has changed and our perception of right and wrong have changed...But, God's commands have not. Albeit, as unpopular as it is to think about obeying your husband, and loving your wife as Jesus loves the church...It is a command, not a request. It is like when your Father told yout to clean your room. You saw that, as a child, as stupid and point less because you were going to mess it up again anyway...But if you did not do it you will be grounded. Well, think of eternal damnation as being grounded.

Unpopular, but not requested...COMMANDED!
