Decent logic, this one has.
Sure I do, but simple theft doesn't quite get it. I tend to look at the scale of things, how many people a certain action hurts. When we're talking about rigging the market as mentioned earlier, we're talking about millions of people, possibly hundreds of millions around the world, being badly hurt by the actions of a few.
On the other hand, I lived across the street from two lesbians for 15 years. They kept to themselves and minded their own business. I have a real hard time telling myself that their actions are worse than what the wall street insiders did in the mid 2000's. I hardly see how this statement makes me a "supporter", especially in regards to homosexuality in general.

God does view and judge some sins as worse then others... -
I am keeping an eye on this thread. This is NOT a "sex" discussion. It is a simple topic.
To try to say "gluttony" or being a "capitalist" is just as evil as XYZ has NO BEARING on the topic and posts will be cut without notice. Liberal, pro-sodomite or lesbian filth will find you on the outside of the BB looking in.
Did Jesus ordain marriage for one man and one woman? THAT is the question. -
The other option is we start an individual thread for each and every non-OP point made to back up individual poster's statements. I'm not sure we would want to do that, as it would flood the forum with multiple short threads.
Please note that I'm not trying to be snarky here. I mean this sincerely. Thanks.:smilewinkgrin: -

But to answer your media like question, she knows the truth, she knows the way....if she remains on the highway to hell that is her decision to answer for. Now please stay on topic if that is possible? -

Deflecting is not honest debate, but your vote for same sex marriage is noted. Now stay on topic. -

Thanks Dr. Bob .... what you are witnessing is a typical liberal, knee jerk reaction to any attempts to discuss the Biblical view and morality on marriage. I see this a lot. Please delete the filth as necessary. Shalom! -

I'm sorry, but the weight of another is an issue one can address in a new post under the title "Chubby men of the clothe" and the Bible? This topic is at opposite ends of any universe....

However, the act of government redefining marriage differently than what the Bible defines marriage to be IS SIN. Furthermore, any citizens who honor that act of sin by government by submitting to government authorized representatives (secular/religious) for legal and public recognition to pervert the Biblical definition IS SIN. In addition, legalization of homosexual marriage is the legalization of homosexual union which IS SIN. In addition, anyone who attends what they know to be the legalization of sin ARE SINNING as they are participating and supporting such sin by their presence. -

There is no need of "good news" until you understand the bad news. There is no need of a Savior until you understand what you need to be saved from, and the angel commanded Mary to call his name Jesus because "he shall save his people FROM THEIR SINS" (Mt. 1:20). There is no need for salvation until you know what you need salvation from, and you cannot know what that is until sin is defined and recognized. Hence, to say preach Jesus and avoid preaching against sin is oxymoronic and contrary the gospel itself. -
Would that line of thought also extend to Christians who go to bars and have a drink while other folks are getting drunk?
Would it extend to Christians who use hospitals that give abortions?
Would it extend to Christians who attend football games where folks are cussing and getting drunk?
Would it extend to Christians going to the movies and watching the beginning of a fornicative act between two unmarried folks?
Would it extend to Christians watching Duck Dynasty when they attend a church that believes baptism is essential to salvation?
Would it extend to Christians endorsing a Mormon for President when he rejects Jesus Christ? -

The hospital is not publicly advertised as an abortion clinic. If it were then yes, it would be sin to go to support a person getting an abortion. It is sin to support abortion clinics. The hospital may do abortions but that is not why it exists or why it meets in that building. If it did exist and meet in that building for that stated purpose then it would be an abortion clinic and to support a person going their for that purpose would be sin.
Bars are given for the purpose of drinking and drunkeness. So yes, attending a bar certainly does give the "appearance of evil" and you are commanded to avoid such appearances.
Football games are designed to play football. Theaters are designed to show movies. However, attending a "R" rated movie where the content violates God's law and promotes a life style that offends God and promotes sin would be sin.
The bottom line is to ask what is the meeting designed for? If it is designed to promote that which offends God, violates His law then yes it is sin to promote it by your presence.
If its design is something neither good or evil, but there are those who do things evil there and YOU DON"T but attend to promote its neither good or evil design then attendance is not sin. -
Would it extend to Christians going to a grocery store that sells beer and wine?
Would it extend to Christians shopping online at outlets that sell 'adult' material?
Would it extend to Christians attending a wedding of unbelievers where alcohol and rock and roll music is?
Would it extend to Christians attending a restaurant where gluttony is promoted?
Would it extend to Christians shopping at big girl shops where overweight and fat are targeted?
I have been a member of churches where only sins that weren't prevalent in that congregation were preached against. There needs to be some consistency, and if there isn't, it is for the purpose of taking the eye of yourself. And it can't be taught as a 'fault' but rather as a 'sin'. -

Pretending to get married after the government sins and tries to redefine marriage does not make that pretense a sin.
What meeting? Hospitals are designed to perform medical procedures of which an abortion qualifies.
