SCOTUS and Christians

[Phoneman777]

How is it that many Christians are in support of this latest Supreme Court landmark ruling on gay "marriage" when you consider that the principle sin of Sodom was sodomy, an abomination to which history has given over the very name of an entire city characterized by the same, and consequently "suffered the vengeance of eternal fire" for their refusal to turn from this and other such sins?

The Cross did not change God's opinion of sin, nor is Grace a license to continue in it. Homosexuals, like all sinners, must understand that when God awakens the heart to our great need for His love and forgiveness, we who have accepted Him as our Savior and Lord must learn to "walk as He walked", surrendering to Him as both our Savior Who saves us from, not in, our sin, and our Lord to Whom we render our obedience.

Supporting the gay agenda, which prominent lesbian activist Masha Gessen has openly admitted the purpose of is to destroy Biblical marriage (listen to her speak as she receives very jubilant applause from her audience here: https://youtu.be/n9M0xcs2Vw4), is actually comforting and affirming homosexuals in their sin and if we love them at all, we will lovingly plead with them to turn from it, because the Bible is clear that "hate speech" is not warning homosexuals of the consequences for their sin, but words that do the opposite of warning them of this danger.(Leviticus 19:17 KJV)

Because they are not followers of Christ. God didn’t call them they call themselves Christian.

But the bottom line on what is legal and not in this world is according to the people in it. No matter if it’s acceptable to the Lord or not.
If you remember Paul speaks of use as ambassadors in this world, because our nation or kingdom is the Kingdom of God and not the kingdoms of this world. And as far as the subject at hand, western culture is trying to go back to the way it was in Roman times before Christianity spread throughout the empire. Therefore people like you’ve mentioned do not want the Christian view of what this life ought to be. It’s against what is in their hearts. What they seek fulfillment in.

The Lord God’s nature is always oppressive to human nature which is to judge for themselves what is good for themselves. And our God is basically the Creator and Judge of all things and it is in His Judgement of what is good that is good for His creation.

I'm against it.

Lev 18:22 ESV You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.

Lev 20:13 ESV If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

Rom 1:26-28 ESV For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

1 Cor 6:9-11 NIV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Tim 1:10-11 ESV The sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
