And I am Christian! Your veiled accusations that I am not are not going to go unnoticed by me. As Marks said, there is no doubt in my mind that God gave her as a gift to me and that this relationship is blessed by God. It has His hand all over it. My first marriage did not have God's blessing...

Sometimes, you just need a break from their negativity. I still haven't put anyone on ignore, but it's getting real close.

Let's see, her ex-husband cheated on her repeatedly and since Jesus gives that clause, she is free to remarry and I was abandoned by my ex-wife, she divorced me and went and got remarried herself. She can be seen like an unbeliever and if not, then she cheated on me when she remarried and had...

I'm getting there myself and I haven't ever put anyone on ignore.

You keep thinking that.

Think outside the box. I am not only speaking of your church.

Hardly blinded. As I said, God knows me better than you do and for that I am thankful. I will reiterate you need to check yourself and see what you affirm by association before calling others out.

No. What I proclaimed in public is that YOUR interpretation of scripture doesn't matter. I never said scripture doesn't matter. So no. You really do not know what God thinks about me better than I do.

Perhaps it's a good thing that God knows me better than you do then, huh?

So be it. I would advise you to look in the mirror and be sure that you aren't affirming anything by anyone that may be unbiblical as well before coming at me.

I have told you I am not a leader and will not ever be one. That does not preclude me from getting married. I don't want authority, don't need it. Don't want power, don't need it. It is simply who I am. If it does, then perhaps Christianity and I aren't a good mix.

I will not flee the Episcopal Church.

I had the same thought, but answered anyway.

This is your opinion, "so they may not be the best source for accurate Biblical interpretation." That is what I disagreed with. I pose the same question to you I did to reformed, do you agree with everything your church espouses or does?

Do you agree with every single thing your church does or espouses? Because I have brought this in prayer before the Lord and He has brought confirmation that the way I want we want to do our marriage is not against Him. I prayed today while at work and had two perfect strangers, Christians...

Okay, I can agree with that. Let me further clarify what I meant. Maybe in regards to submission I am what He wants me to be and I don't need to change.

I said that I don't agree with it, does that not mean that I don't think it's Biblical? Do I need to say those exact words?

It was not meant to be arrogant. It was meant to say maybe I am who He wants me to be in this marriage and that I don't need to change. There is no arrogance in that statement and doesn't state there aren't other things that I do need to change about me.

That is not what I said. What I said in the beginning of that reply is this, "If it is their choice to marry after I say that they shouldn't, who am I to stop them?" I cannot stop them if they choose to marry after I tell them that they shouldn't. That alone says I don't agree with gay...

No, it is not what you have been saying. If it was I would have agreed with that along time ago. What the other poster said isn't t what you said. Unless you haven't explained it too well.
