I don't think its really like that Barbie. I love gay people. I simply find the act of same sex sex disgusting and loads of other sex acts that hetero's do too.
I respect that they may feel the same about heterosexuals too and on any given subject. I'm speaking for me. I cannot speak for those that talked against OWW, turned around got pregnant unwed and then decides which sin is the greatest or celebration worthy. OWL Baby = evidence of sin = run for the hillz = OWW weds = perfection in my own eyes!
My sin is no greater than your or the next person.
Many of us choose to pick and choose what I want use outta the bible to cover my disadain for folks and acts.
I don't agree with my childs lifestyle choice and yes I pray that daily that she will come back to the other side of town. If she doesn't I'll be at her wedding cuz I know darn well it ain't gon be at no church! If it were I'd really go so I can watch in amazement.
Sorry I'm just keeping it real I'm a curious between you and God kinda person on this issue. I will never understand it but I accept we are different but both loved by God.
Now ya'll gon have me chasing the baby around with blessed oil when she comes home from work. I gotta get those impure thoughts and actions outta her head and then use it on my own sinning self.
The food betta be go oncetagain!

People always pick and choose, and sex, abortion and homosexuality are people's favorite sins to hate the sinners over.
I think people in general pick on visible sin. Like, when an unwed mother is pregnant people shun her, yet you know statistically most of the people around her are bangin' somebody who they aren't married to. Or if not visible at least socially unacceptable.
I mean, I may get in trouble for saying this, but look at this board for example, it is not okay to discuss homosexual relationships because it goes against Christian beliefs or comfort or whatever, but discussing premarital sex and the famous long and multi-view porn thread is A-Ok.
My prof put it to me the right way: everyone is comfortable saying, "yes, I'm a sinner." It is when you bust out the label-maker that people start to run away.
That being said, yes, if the person getting married was a friend, I would go.

lmao @ anointing oil! you are hilarious!
you never know it might be in a church, there are a number of gay-affirming churches believe it or not. I know more than a few Episcopalian, Unitarian, Presbyterian, non-denominational, Catholic churches and a small scatter of Baptist churches that support and validate sexuality, as well as love and commitment between two same-gender loving people.
I know for fact that I will be getting married in a church.... I've already started researching them

Let the church stand up, applaud, shout, say amen, and wave their hands in the air like they just don't care.

Uh-huh. I guessed as much. Now if you and I were friends IRL, and you invited me to your wedding, I would go. However, if you asked me to BE IN your wedding, I would say "no" because I wouldn't want to go through the bridesmaids bootcamp I know you'll be running.

I only read the last page of responses (I'm @ssbackwards and like to read threads from the last page to the first
) but I will be totally honest here...
My vision of an ideal relationship does not include a same sex relationship...but if I were invited...heck yeah I'd go. I love weddings and celebrations and I'm sure if I were invited to the wedding, that I like the couple and would be supporting them (just because we don't agree doesn't mean I can't support them. I have relatives that pop out one illegitimate child after another and I still will go to the baby showers and buy presents).
I will admit, though, if I were at a ceremony were two men were marrying...I'd feel a little weird around "kiss the groom". Two men kissing and being all affectionate will always gross me out (I wouldn't communicate this to them, to hurt their feelings or anything, though). I have a theory regarding this, including a story but that would be taking this thread in a different direction...

I'm a Christian and I would go. And if Jesus were invited (the Jesus that I know) He would go, too.

well let me get this straight. are you trying to compare heterosexuals righting a wrong by becoming married to same sex people getting it on? because once man and woman unite under God what they do is no longer sin. and yes sexual sin comes in all forms: premarital, same sex, sex with animals, sex with the dead, etc... God doesn't like any of it. see what i'm getting from your question is that you feel that having same sex is ok and that sin is not as bad as having sex with animals. both of those sins are unnatural, going against creation.
and remember you said had sex before marriage. now i would go to wedding to someone who used to be a homosexual, but is not anymore.

I was responding to her saying that she didnt approve of sex before marriage. So, okay is it not okay to go to any of their events if they aren't married?
Isn't getting your ears pierced, skin tattooed a sin? Women wearing pants? Eating ham, shrimp, etc? Aren't all sins equal? I mean essentially everyone is going to "hell"
Who are WE to say what God wants or approves us. I never saw him put pen to paper in that Bible. Even if he did, we all make excuses for the times.
Okay, I just learned you are a frequent Christian Forum poster. So I'm not even going to mess with you. You won't ever convince me to believe your thoughts on MY God, and I won't even try to tell you about how you should feel about your God. The end.

I'm lost, too, but I'm straight on this. Please forgive me, it's a slight derailment.
The Jesus of the Bible never rejected anyone except Satan himself. He was commonly found among murderers, liars, thieves, the lame, people who had demons, etc. He did not turn them away, but He called them to Him. The Jesus we study never commanded his disciples to force God's perfection on people. He wanted us to SHOW God's perfection to anyone by being an example (that means, fix YOURSELF first). He never asked us to help Him judge. I'm sure God is capable of doing that Himself.
I'm not trying to convince anyone else of my viewpoint, but I wanted to state clearly what it is. Thanks, and carry on.

I can actually appreciate this POV. My issue is with people picking and choosing the sins they won't acknowledge/support/stand in agreement on.
I mean, if one's approach to a gay wedding is cut and dry, then that same cut and dry legalism should apply to other "sins" and "lifestyles". If a woman posted in this very forum saying she had been hospitalized from her husband's abuse and that her husband threatened to kill her, I have to wonder how many of these letter followers would say to her, "Stay right there and submit." I mean, seriously. I'm not trying to circumvent any instruction given to us in the Bible, but I do firmly believe that God examines our HEARTS and the spirit in which we do things.
Yes, we should correct each other and speak the truth in love, but we also need to remember that are all flawed and in need of redemption...gossipping, lies of omission, or envy are no less sinful than adultery, homosexuality, or murder.
I just think some of us need to be honest with ourselves about our own mess and understand that without grace, God will have the attitude towards us that we have toward gay folks, fornicators, etc.
I respect the decision not to go; I think folks need to be less religously PC and just say they are grossed out/don't like it or whatever because some of the logic has gaping holes in it.
Great post, SOHB!!
Very well said!

Those threads go up in arms and get theatrical as well IMO. Heck, the Christian boards go up in arms and get theatrical. That's just folk.
This board can get a thread locked talking about weave. Just depends on how deep the issue gets.

i agree and i'm not Jesus, so i can't go where He can go. i can't go to sex parties, hang out at the crack house, sit up and watch porn with someone, etc... i have to be on guard at all times and not surround myself of things that could lead me astray.

There is so much beauty in this statement. I'm interested in how this can be reinterpreted to justify how Jesus still wouldn't attend.
