Well what a revolting article, worthy of the oleaginous Obadiah Slope, who was also wont to ingratiate himself to his utmost while sanctimoniously deprecating the ostentatious sin and debauch that polluted the pure environs of his (master's) spartan church.
The fact that political parties are using issues like gay marriage for their own cynical purposes is beside the point, gay marriage is performing a valuable by-partisan function in making a mockery of an oppressive institution. This has nothing to do with political correctness. Gays might actually make marriage respectable by neutering the power dynamic.
So why, Warwick, are you picking on Gays? I didn't read "Christian" in your CV?
Whatever opportunistic point scoring's going on in political parties, aren't gays deserving of legitimacy for their God-given preference? Or hey, just for their human rights? They should get the GM medal for their sheer balls in defying the stereotypical crap that people like you want enforced so as to preserve the twee little illusions you wrap yourself in..

Are you sure, Martin S?

Some people do.

"He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Matt 3:12

And, presumably, given that the "sinner" is unlikely to "repent" in this situation, he will be destined for that unquenchable fire that Jesus spoke about.

Christians - some Christians, with you claiming exemption - wish homosexuals to be cast into the fiery pits of hell, where "they will be tormented day and night forever and ever". Rev 20:10

>>What I do know is that we can't go around changing the Bible every time some section of the community says it is incompatible with their way of thinking.<<

You need to heed your own advice. You can't go around changing the Bible's verdict on gays burning in hell just because it is incompatible with your way of thinking.

But we are not discussing a way of thinking here, are we. We are discussing a way of being. And you have decided, along with a whole lot of other people, that the fact that being gay is incompatible with your Christian faith.

>>I can only go on His revealed truth and try to be a "good servant". Servants don't question every decision from the Master. Yes, we have a brain and should use it, but not for insubordination.<<

The problem I see with that, is not your obedience to your Master, which I completely accept is a key component of your religious beliefs, but your personal interpretation of those "decisions" that you believe he has made.
