Featured Supreme Court: Same-sex couples can marry in all 50 states

First of all, the Constitution took a hit today.

Secondly, do you not believe God judges nations as well as individuals?

 

It makes no sense. We claim to want less government intrusion in our lives except when the government is siding with our political views. Because this IS political, not moral.

God has spoken to what marriage is. What do I care what the government says it is?

 

I don't see it. Justices have been picking the Constitution apart for a couple of centuries now.

Yep. And all things considered, the Body of Christ needs to be concerned with its own need for repentance for wickedness is growing because of us.

 

I agree with your last sentence. Further, American Christians are not concerned with holiness of life and following Jesus. When you can't distinguish a Christian from the rest of society in lifestyle, something is very wrong. When there is no difference in the divorce rate between the "church" and the society as a whole, something is wrong. When Christians dress immodestly, something is wrong. When Christians attend R-rated movies, something is wrong.

American Christianity is a cultural religion -- a mile wide and an inch deep.

 

Amen!!! It's gotten hard to take young men to church because the parents are basically letting their daughters come to church half naked.

It's disgusting.

 

I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and he will hold me personally accountable come judgment. I don't believe I'll go to heaven as an ambassador or apologist of the United States.

We apparently have different opinions on the interpretation of the 1st and 14th Amendments.

Also, kind of reiterates where we place our priorities when your response to me addressed the U.S. Constitution first and God was your second point.

 

I did that to make a point Rev. Sorry if that was a bit much Rebel.

 

Next we will apologize to Utah for polygamy and we will legalize polygamy. As stupid as Roberts is, even he can see that in the future.

 

It's all down hill from here as a country......Pandora's Box.

Dead on Ms Scarlett!

 

That is absolutely absurd and ridiculous. If you can't respond with more intelligence than that, please don't respond at all.

If you don't think what happens in your country affects your faith, I feel sorry for you. Evidently you have forgotten or disregarded history.

 

All right, then disregard the first part of what I just posted to you.

 

I meant it, I like the way you lay out your posts and I always find them worth reading. This one was no exception.

That is something to chew over - the US is a little behind other countries on this issue and I haven't heard about a push for polygamy in Spain yet. I still wish it had been kicked back to the states. I keep in mind that my state is one of the few that passed SSM. I didn't vote for it but the majority of my fellow citizens did and outvoted is outvoted. I feel more sorry for all those people in those states that didn't want it because now they have it anyways thanks to five lawyers.

And what I think is is that SCOTUS legislated immorality, or at least amorality, and they're not supposed to legislate anything and in that way, today reminds me a little about RvW. You're also right when you said that your opinion of SCOTUS changes with the wind. I heard some of the same people today lauding this when last year they were still complaining about Citizens. SCOTUS isn't infallible but they sure are weird.

 

Agreed! And we all know what a rush of dam water does to those living in the valley! :tear: :flower:

 

What goes on in this country does not affect my faith in any way. It's mine, given to me by Jesus and absolutely no worldly devices have the power to take this away. You'll have to be a little more specific.

I'm willing to listen to what points you may have that go to the contrary but so far you just keep saying the same thing while insulting my intelligence.

 

There is plenty of polygamy in this country already. Also, if the court legalizes polygamy, which I think that they will, then do you think that the federal government owes damages to Mormons for the federal law in the late 19th century which outlawed polygamy?

For a good treatment of the horrors of current American polygamy, see video and commentary at this show:

What 777 and I said was in no way an endorsement for polygamy.

 

Understood, but I am wondering about the legal ramifications of the impending legalization of polygamy and I am wondering if reparations will have to be paid to Mormonism for the hardship imposed by Edmunds Tucker Act of 1887?
