Yes their will be consequences for it.
Fact is it is not a Marriage at all, but only a partnership, as Christians should know what a Marriage truely it is.
It is an attack on Christian Marriage by the work of Satan. it works to degrade.
 
Gay marriage is wrong

No if's
No buts


Legalizing gay marriage is just a sign of the times.
The church is just fitting into the world rather than standing up for Jesus


 
I think anytime people either ignore God, think what they want matters more than what he wants, or flagrantly disobey him there is a price to pay.

Gen 19:5; and the men called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have sexual relations with them."
Gen 19:24; Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven,

Lev 18:22; 'You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.

Mat 19:4; And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE,
Mat 19:5; and said, 'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?

Gen 2:23; The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man."
Gen 2:24; For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

Rom 1:21; For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Rom 1:26; For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
Rom 1:27; and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
Rom 1:28; And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper,
Rom 1:32; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

1 Cor 6:9; Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

1 Tim 1:9; realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers
1 Tim 1:10; and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

Gal 6:7; Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
Matt 11:24; "Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."

I think the Bible makes it pretty clear how God feels about it. Which matters more? What God thinks, or what society thinks?
 
There is no such thing as gay marriage.

it is / was never approved of in the first place as marriage covenant by GOD regardless of what any or many people of this world would like to tells us to defend this "gay marriage" concept, there is no such thing.

Gay marriage is actually a demonic covenant with the devil and with DEATH!
The devils FALSE make believe substitute marriage, instead for the real marriage set by GOD which is only between a man and a woman and is honourable among all.

Now the devil hates all the things of GOD especially marriage because we are made in His Image and so the devil will take the good things and change them into something evil!
The devil wants to steal kill and destroy: yes even his own followers (the satanists) he hates them all and the Good things of God especially and all that God Has instituted For His Glory and Created for Love and procreation of mankind. And marriage between one man and one woman is good and honourable among all! But the devil tries to take that and sneak into something FALSE and use it for EVIL!

And so actually turning the good marriage covenant instituted by GOD and using it against The LORD GOD and so turning the good into something that is utterly horrible and evil instead.

Indeed brother Eddy Fire, there is no such thing as "gay" marriage!

Gay marriage is covenant of DEATH!


But to the gay people hear: there is also Good News!: The GOSPEL of The Lord Jesus Christ that if only people would humble themselves and believe on The Lord Jesus Christ and turn away - repent of sins they can be Saved and have Eternal Life! All their sins can be Blotted out!

What Peace and Joy Can be found Only in The Lord Jesus!

It is Amazing!

And the time is NOW at hand and is only very short we only have this one lifetime and only one shot at it! And there is no such thing as: reincarnation or second changes because once you die it's OVER -And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the Judgment.

And it appears to me that time is very short - especially !! in particular for those who are involved with practices such as : men sleeping with other men / homosexual sinful practices as these always result in FASTER DEATHS and infectious transmissive diseases like AIDS and very premature and painful early DEATH especially with the act of homosexual sin = High mortality RATE!

Beware the act of homosexuality just like other sins it's wages is always DEATH!

There is no lasting happines to be found in a gay marriage!

TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SINS!

Believe The Gospel!

Mark 1:
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the Gospel.

Jesus Christ is GOD Cry out to HIM And be SAVED!

Jesus Christ is LOVE!

For God so loved the world, that He Gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Life.

Jesus saith unto him, I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

God Bless you,
dutch

While some states offer a civil union there can be no real marriage except between one man and one woman. Making this legal would affect over 11,000 different laws, and basically rewrite some of the last traditional family concepts out of existence. If two men can get married then why not three? Why not a man and a goat?
In truth, this is a continuation of the degradation of our nation that once was founded on godly principle but is turning ever faster to the path of darkness.
 
No wonder, for even satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:14 (NASB)


Being Gay is made to look so nice and welcoming in some church denominations in Australia
The uniting church in Australia has a 'we accept all attitude' and lobbies for gay marriage.

Our local uniting church has a gay minister and he and his partner are openly seen together.

It is an abomination
And it is deceiving the congregations for churches to say that being gay is okay.

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 3:13-17

Homosexuality has become rampant, and I think that acceptance by the majority, that it is something natural and acceptable will be devastating to our nations. Being from Canada, where same sex "marriage" is legal, I already see its consequences. Last year as I rode on the bus, I got into a discussion with an unsaved girl. I said that being a homo has consequences such as AIDs. I would have been greatly emotionally shaken had the Lord not sustained me and given me supernatural joy! Her reaction was explosive and in fact there were a few others that were deeply indignant that I should say such a thing! One of these women had been in a same sex relationship, and said that she hoped her daughter would go for that as well, but wanted her son to marry and give her grandbabies!!!! I also know two Christian young men who have been attacked by homosexuals! And in my hometown school, the majority of the girls are lesbians. Any person that has any disagreement with homosexuality is an outcast, and given absolutely zero "tolerance". The conservative government lost the provincial election, we believe, due to the fact that one of the constituents was a pastor and had posted in a sermon (the previous year) that gays were going to hell. The public was outraged. The leader of the party was demanded to remove him. She said that it was against his freedom of speech to have him removed. We lost the election.

"There are only two forces that hold back homosexuals from giving themselves completely over to their sin, and they are rejection by society and the repudiation and teachings of the church. When society no longer rejects their sin as abnormal and fully accepts them and encourages them in their sexual activities-there no longer exist any hindering forces. The floodgates are open, and homosexuals are encouraged to continue in their sin. In my vision, I have seen these two roadblocks being swept away. When that which hinders is taken away, chaos will follow." the VISION by David Wilkerson.

"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;...." Luke 17:28

In the bible God judged Sodom and Gomorrah for wickedness... in recent times, East Asia, Tokyo, New Orleans and others

I didn't realize it was that common and widespread.
I have noticed though that it has been widely accepted in many countries and is hardly an issue anymore - where it used to be an issue, now it is just part of the way things are - only unjust

it undermines the people who hold onto values that are contrary to it

while gays are gay, that is choice like all other choices people make but to now be exalted as equal or as it seems to be above the principals of God, it has and is overtaking our younger generation

even more reason that the Gospel be preached without the admixtures of man
if the Gospel does not remain pure, even if gay and other anti-God issues arise and saturate society (the world) then there will be nothing to pass on to the future generations

could it be that the Lord has allowed and sent this plague upon mankind due to mankind preferring to have intimacy with mankind. as in men-pleasers and seeking praise from men and following man instead of God?

A serious question that all who oppose the gay agenda must consider and decide upon for all who seek to please man are in effect having a gay knowing and affair with man and the world.

In the provincial capital, Edmonton, there are lesbian pastors. I find it interesting that where I live, northern Alberta, we are considered "rednecks" and yet we are demanded to accept homosexuality with tolerance. I have to wonder what it is like in other cities such as Toronto and Vancouver, which are much more liberal. Maybe we are attacked as being roughnecks, and not enlightened to the wonderful new age of "love" and "tolerance", is because there are still enough conservatives to be a "burr under there saddles". Although I heard of one couple who was arrested in eastern Canada for praying while a gay pride parade was going on.

We need to pray that God would give us the strength, and clarity of mind, not being blinded by the powers that be, to continue in the grace af God, and represent the Gospel of Christ in truth and boldness. Not with fear. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Tim. 1:7

It is legal in 9 states now. Washington state (where I live) is the first state to adopt homosexual marriage by vote.
It is very common here. I don't think a day goes by I don't see signs about it somewhere, it's common to see same sex couples holding hands or even kissing here.
197 ordained ministers signed a petition to support it in this state. This is a very liberal state. Microsoft, Starbucks and Amazon are major contributors to LGBT organizations.

I don't think there is a single television network here in the US that doesn't have at least 2 or 3 TV shows every night that don't promote it in some way or another.

I don't support it. I refuse to be forced to accept it as "right" and "normal". I have a cousin that is gay and she is "married" to a woman. I care about them both, but disapprove of their lifestyle. I really pray that God will open their eyes to His truth. I don't hate someone because they are gay, but will never accept their lifestyle as normal and something I HAVE to accept. God meant for man and woman to marry and be together. No matter what society claims is the norm, God's word NEVER changes just because society does.
 
The things people say about the gay rights never include what I'm going to say. Children are not conceived by males. They are to be protected by law from abuse. That will be a problem in a gay marriage as children become subject to the major reason in a gay marriage. Sexual activity.

I am going to speak in a way which will describe some graphic things. Male and female have there God given procreative endowments. If this is not found on a secondary person , then other things are used. Nuff said----those other ways bring damage and harm and are also noted as unclean. This can also be a problem due to past knowledge of how certain types of people push themselves on others, example a bar where one is drinking. When one goes home could abuse children also. Sorry if anyone doesn't understand my speech here.
They do need to be addressed by those who are to be protecting others. Sodomy is one example of harm which is worse than being shot. God allows us to think but not entertain our thoughts. Mature Christians understand better. Everything done wrong in life is just rebel. Romans ch. 1: is clear.
 
I find this thread very wrong. They have a right to get married. They're people too, just like you. Love is love. They're not harming you. I was raised by my dad who is gay and I turned out just fine. Worry about your own lives instead of other people's lives. To the person above me. I was never abused or anything. My dad doesn't push me to do stuff I don't like. I also have a mother who is gay. So, I take it very personal when people talk to down on gay people.
 
What does God say about Homosexual behavior in the bible? You see it doesn't matter what we think because God has already stated what He thinks and what he says we should do and in the bible He says it is not acceptable. The truth is the truth and I give it in love knowing that if we don't acknowledge the truth we are then living in ignorance of it and we have no excuse for it because we know right from wrong and we know what God says about this matter. I know many won't appreciate this post and maybe some will retaliate or come back with harsh words, but in love brothers and sisters I tell you God loves the sinner, but will not accept nor does he tolerate the sin.

Romans 1:24-32 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie,and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, convetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness, they are wisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgement of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

These verses in the bible are alot to take in and to read but it is the truth my brothers, sisters and friends and when I read them it was the very last verse that caught my eye and spoke loud to me. Because it states that if I should approve of the things that God has said are not acceptable then I am just as guilty and will be deserving of the same penalty. I am not perfect and am not here to judge anyone by any means because I have also fallen short and made mistakes, but we learn from those mistakes and we turn from those things that are not of God because we now are not ignorant to the truth but very much aware of it and know it in our hearts. I cannot support homosexual marriage because God has said it is wrong. God makes the rules and we each make that choice of whether we are going to follow Him and His ways or not. A person can struggle with homosexual feelings, but in the end its he or she that makes the decision to either live in that life style or not.

I truely don't mean to offend anyone, but as christians we are called to pray for and love others and telling His truth is a very big part of loving others. The truth isn't always easy to hear, but if you love someone then sometimes you need to step out in faith and let God's truth be known, but do it in love not anger or hate or judgement. God is love and as He loves so are we to love...loving the person but not loving or accepting of the sin or in this case lifestyle they choose.

Greetings @CuddleBunny282

I notice from your profile that you are not a Christian.....it is so good to see you here learning about Jesus and His ways.

The Bible is clear that homosexuality is wrong and therefore as Christians, who believe the word, we cannot condone homosexual behaviour in any way whatsoever.

The Bible is also clear that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.....that includes every single person in the world whether gay or not gay.
And as Christians, sinners saved by grace, we must pray with loving concern for those who don't know Jesus, that they would turn to Him and accept His free gift of Salvation.

Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men
1 Corinthians 6:9

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23

What if they don't need praying? You can't tell them to be something they are not. You have to accept them for who they are. They are christians out there who can do that. You should learn how to do that too. You need to worry about your own lives and not theirs.
 
I like to learn things from many different religions. Even Satanism. I think as people we shouldn't call everything a sin. My mom may be gay but she is Christian and she believes that God loves her for who she is. No one shouldn't have to change themselves, especially for the sexuality. I want to ask you a question. Why do you think that God would condemn two who love each other, but forgive a person who has taken someone else's life? Maybe you guys should worry about the worser sins instead of the ones that actually aren't hurting other people.
