Differences aside, can we all agree not to mess with the nativity?

Italy: Church nativity scene featuring two mothers of Jesus sparks accusation of blasphemy

More than 21,000 people have signed a petition calling on a bishop to intervene in the row after the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, in the Avellino hamlet of Capocastello di Mercogliano, features what appears to be two mothers, rather than just Mary and Joseph.

They are getting bolder!
The more that the secular societies around the world influence the churches, the more of this you will see.
Of course, I blame the churches. They are supposed to be the standard by which the people are to follow and not give in to every fancy the human mind can think of!

Thanks for sharing, though it is kind of disheartening to see.....but they'll not take the Joy of the Lord from me!!! Praise the Lord!!! Alleluia!!!

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Not gonna happen.
The Catholics alone have added so many things (b/c of "tradition") over the years and they think they are the "one true church" so they'll never agree.

Tradition dictates that a man and a woman are to marry and have children. It is also a core fundamental belief which CANNOT be changed. The RCC have allowed those of different natures to be blessed, but this is not related to marriage. This is one church out of thousands of Catholic churches... please do not think that one church's actions account for the entire denomination. That is similar to suggesting that one single Baptist church accounts for their entire denomination.

When I suggested differences aside, I meant it. That no denomination should think it is okay to have two Holy Marys next to Our Lord. It is scriptural and biblical that the nativity contains Holy Mary, Saint Joseph, Our Lord, shepherds, and the wise men. Let's not suggest otherwise.This is something all christian denominations should agree with, despite our differences.

Have a lovely day,

Greetings in the Lord
I believe this is definitely adding to and taking away from the Gospel as it is written.
Wouldn't it be considered mockery, as well as blasphemous?

I believe the gays can be saved, but it requires the same from them that it did from us. Love God first, with all our heart, mind, body, and strength; and love our neighbor as ourself.

Christ died for them too.
But we all have to turn from our sinful ways (lifestyles), and put on Christ; presenting our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, without spot or blemish.
As long as they continue in their sin life, will God bless someone who is an abomination to Him?
No; I believe the established written Word of God.

And how about the watered down version of Truth he must be preaching?
The world loves their own; the church house is so worldly already, this just adds more of the world to her.
When one starts doing it, the rest will follow.
They doing whatever they want to do, with whoever and whenever, never considering God.
Know ye not that the kingdom of God is within the temple made without hands?
It is time to come out of her, if this is being allowed; or preach the Word of truth, for they will get right with the convictions in their heart, or leave.

All praise glory and honor be unto God. Amen

If you step back and look, you'll see a lot of professing Christians regardless of denomination simply can NOT say and do "Yes, Lord."

Many Denominations have split over this and taken a stand, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodists and Lutheran all split. But the Catholic's haven't except, in 1054 over differences. Catholics should take a stand.

I want to let you know that God has shown to me, and let me experience the marriage of the Kingdom, there as Jesus says we are like angels in the sky: 25 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

We were once dead/ darkness, but are now life/ light in the Lord.

There in heaven all sister and all brothers are light in the Lord, we are not flesh.

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

God is the one who marries sisters and brothers there, he will usually, (or always i do not know) marry/unite sisters and brothers in the light who on earth are studying the bible together, love each other in the Lord, and make progress together, towards the treasures of heaven.

God made woman the perfect help meet for man as it is written.

So it means that man needs help, and woman needs to help him, and also that woman needs to be a helper, since God made her that.

In the body of Christ we are united sisters and brothers are united, never sister and sister, or brother and brother. It is cause God split the Son into man and woman, so the Son can not be reunited in any other way 1 Corinthians 11:11 But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord.

I wish to add that "marriage in the flesh" is something a man and a woman decides themselves, but it will only happen with Gods approval if He first married them in the light. So the same kind of couple, a sister and brother in Christ who is very loving both in the body of Christ, having progress and many successes in reading the bible together walking the way that Jesus is together, getting closer and closer to Him who is truth, Him who is Love, Him who is Light. Those are the same kinds of couples God would unite in the body of Christ.

A sister and brother in Christ should look for that kind of a marriage, and disregards/ devalue attraction in the flesh, wealth, or any other treasures of the earth.

Instead look for what pleases the Lord, for the light of God within sisters and brothers. It is very pleasing to God when we love the child of light within sisters and brothers, weather we stay sister and brother on earth or "marry on earth". When I have asked Father He does not seem to acknowledge that there is such a thing as marriage on earth, cause He is the One who performs marriages in the light, in eternity. It pleases Him greatly when a sister and brother finds love in the body of Christ.

It is the first thing He let humans know: “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

So that is not a sin, what is a sin is to put flesh before God.
