we love him like anyone else and he is a member of our church and loves the lord.

Try to pay attention. I don't deny that you can find passages against homosexuality in the Bible. It's just that the story of Sodom, and the passage you cited from Jude, are not among them.

I got no takers on my questions. Are all the Evangelicals here ashamed to answer them?

Is it a secret verse, or are you going to share it with us?

Is that what you do with the Word of your God? Play with it? And yet you expect me to change my life because of your toy?

i will ( try to) answer your question. ( even thou i am not an " evangelical").
1. i don't know, i don't ask. my brother in law is gay and he is a member.
2. No, you cannot just rent out my church for a wedding. you have to go through marrage consuling. i would say no, but only because we would not marry any couple that was know to be in open sin.( of course we interpet homo as sin). ( and o yeah, the man and the woman thing)
same answer as above.
1. yes
2. yes, divorce is plainly talked about in the scripture and the exceptions Jesus made and paul.
1, not that i am aware.
2. no, it is agaist the law. and Paul say's be a husband to one wife.

No there isn't. The only mention of lesbianism anywhere in either testament is Romans 1:26, which contains no commandment whatsoever. I deny that lesbianism is mentioned anywhere else in the Bible (other than positively, in the Book of Ruth), and challenge you to find any other reference.
Be aware that the Hebrew word "qodesh" means male temple prostitute. Hebrew was and is a very gender marked language, and there is no gender nuetral term in Hebrew for homosexuality.
So, on what basis do you substitute your judgment for God's? That is, if it's not a sin to God, who are you to say it is a sin?

no midnight,
i did not mean to play around. that was a rude post:sorry1:
i don't expect you to change your life, take a homo pill, shock treatment, etc.
I preach the gospel of Jesus. come as you are, and if there is ANY change , it will be him that makes it.

Wow, the hypocrisy. What you're telling me is that you celebrate right in your church a sin, a clear, unambiguous adultery, condemned and prohibited by Jesus--re-marriage after divorce--but you deny the sanctity of holy union to a couple--two women--who have committed no sin, violated no prohibition, simply because of your prejudice and bigotry? Wow! Are you going to march down to your Church and demand that these hypocritical, incorrect and heretical policies be changed?

Read it. It's not a prohibition. As I said repeatedly, and as you cannot honestly deny, LESBIANISM IS NOT PROHIBITED. Think about it. You're condemning people, and now you tell me you're denying them the opportunity to marry in your church, on no basis but your prejudice.
Just think of all the things that are prohibited! Not just divorce, which is prohibited in the NT, and, actually, by Jesus Himself, but weird stuff: eating weasels, grabbing your husband's wrestling opponents testicles, trimming your beard, having a foreskin--all kinds of weird things, hundreds and hundreds of prohibitions and commandments in thousands of pages,and nowhere, not once, is this activity prohibited. After all, it's not like God doesn't know how to prohibit things if He has a problem with them: "Thou shalt not..." So here you have something He has no problem with, and you have the temerity, the blasphemy, really, to decide for yourselves, with no guidance from the so-called source of your morality, that it's a sin, with no basis at all, and condemn and ostracize people for LOVING EACH OTHER! It's sickening. What are you going to do about it?

The gospel of Jesus? That's what you preach? Where does Jesus condemn homosexuals? Let alone lesbians, whom no one has a problem with? I think you preach the gospel of rocka21, and call it the gospel of Jesus.

Because it's not my church. I'm an atheist; it's not my job to make sure that your church is following your God's word--it's yours.
