Marriage is between a man and a woman who are joined by God. So I don’t
even see where gay people have a case here…
So gay people want to be recognized by the Government as married couples?
Sure if they really want that, I’m not going to say its right but I will
say no christian church would marry them.
Christians… -_-
Sam I think you need to open up a history textbook before commenting on
slavery.
In fact don’t bother with factual textbooks. Try your own fairytale
fictions collection of stories (the bible) and see how wrong you are.
Something tells me you won’t be greeted with smiles and flowers by God.
Considering you don’t even know his basic teachings enough to comment
correctly about them.
So RB Riddick, do you understand that gays do not want a church wedding?
They only want marriage equality.
such a load of crap!!
universal love IS NOT the bible. The argument of slaves obeying masters is
not one that is relatable at all to a confederacy style slavery. Slaves
back then (the more correct word would be servant) were cared for by their
masters, not punished and abused. Those are such stupid fallback arguments
that proponents of same sex marriage and just about every other argument
when trying to accuse bible believing christians of not being loving
Thats simply blocking out much of gods words which are that he is just and
righteous and good, he is also a jealous god who is vengeful and his word
is true and stands forever. People who use these flimsy arguments to help
support common group ideologies simply havent done their research. They use
a statement about christianity that appears correct on the surface but if
they did actually research and learn about the bible, they would realise
its not the case.and they fail to argue their right to live in sin.
I disagree with many people that gay is not a choice, i completely believe
it is a choice. I think some people will have a tendency towards it and
find it very alluring in every way just like someone else might find drugs
or being the same way which they crave. But it still comes down to a
choice. This world is going downhill so quickly.
Different people believe different things. Some believe with every beat of
their heart that for example, murder is ok or stealing, or lying, cheating
in your marriage etc is completely 100% fine but without a moral compass
that is outside ones self; a moral compass defined by a moral law giver,
then you can not be sure you are correct in behaving a certain way.
I know some will take offense at this but I really couldnt care less, I
dont dislike or judge anyone who is in sin as I myself am a sinner but i
can point out an error in thought. At the end of the day we will all bow
before the Lord and give an account of our lives and this twinkling of an
eye will give way to an eternity that I am not going to risk for a chance
to spend that eternity in the absence of God and all that is good.
I dont see how people function without God.
Once you’ve been woken up by Gods truth, you cannot go back to sleep…
My Dad wanted me to watch this and I finally did. So glad that my father
decided to share such a strong message with me.
I must say this pastor is not a competent one; for there’s no one single
verse in Bible says “Slavery is natural”. On the contrary, Paul even
advised those who were masters should treat servants nicely. Ephesians, 6:9
“And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening:
knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of
persons with him. forbearing: or, moderating your…: some read, both your
and their Master”
The earliest record of homosexual behavior is carried on Genesis, chapter
19. When the two friends of Abraham came to Sodom and lived with Lot’s
family, “But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of
Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from
every quarter. And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the
men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may
know (the euphemism of having sex with) them.” The word “Sodom” means anal
sexual behaviors, that are particularly engaged among gay men.
I support the human rights of homosexuals, and I do believe there is
friendship between same genders. The love between David and Jonathan is
honorable. Unfortunately, the homosexuals are subconsciously mislead; and
they try to force the public normal people to accept and even induce them
to engage in Sodomite behavior. That’s what most Christians are against. We
have no hostility to homosexuals. The churches are even helping homosexuals
to live a pleasant normal life.
People are wondering why the whole Sodomites became homosexuals. After
reading some research reports, I understand that homosexuals can get higher
orgasm than normal coitus. And people are easy to addictive to orgasm
feeling. Consequently, the whole Sodomites are becoming homosexuals.
Finally, the wrath of God consumed the Sodom.
The bible says a couple questionable things that are up for discussion –
but it does not say “slavery is a natural condition”.
Good one “Christian Kevin”.
Why can’t more people like this Prime Minister be in US Congress.
My brother brought my attention to this from someone that shared it on
Facebook. Still don’t see why, in the land of the free, we still have this
issue,, but at least Australia has some good leaders not afraid to quash
the stupid people.
Jesus said nothing about sexuality. It was Paul who had problems with same
sex temple prostitution.That’s what most of the anti-gay phrases have been
mistranslated to mean.
He’s a fuckin idiot
It’s so refreshing to see a prime minister think progressively and
counteract a pathetic argument so strongly. He answered the question right
and pointed out what the REAL message of the new Testament is. That’s also
what I like about the new Pope. Progressive thinking.
And now we have Abbot. What the hell Australia?
Did you know it’s impossible today to think about being straight if your a
guy in Australia because the law isn’t lenient ‘adjust’ on all Adult men be
looked as criminals in court if they were prosecuted against by either a
woman or child the world, community, police, media, parents view them as
guilty so its better they should have sexual relationship with men than
with woman.
But sometimes it could be serious and be real in some cases but most of
time woman, girls, children abuse that right even though in Australia they
are given more rights and power than men overpowering them by using the law
to tell lies to the court for power, fame on the media or Newspaper etc.,
to claim money like for being traumatised ‘compensation or insurance’ and
guess what in the courtroom there is no hope for the man seen to the Judge
and community ‘guilty’ because of his gender and age.
Young men are sexual predators or rapists and old men are paedophile’s this
is what the law, society, religion, police, local community, woman,
children view all men. You can’t trust your wife, girlfriend, daughter,
sister, lover, co-worker, employer ‘boss’ or any female person not even you
lawyer or doctor. If a woman, girl, child believe a man is a threat to them
even they would usually use their phone purposely contact police for
stalking or sexual harassment of any act. Beware to all men.
There is no voice for men in the court, no respect from the law to all men
whether your working the government or member of the public whatever this
is the fate. You can’t be religious, nor can you be straight instead you
have no choice to accept the gay community than risk of having sexual
relationship with a female.
The ‘main principle of the New Testament’ is not one of universal love.
That’s in there of course, but if you read it you’ll find much more about
Jesus being the messiah (and how love should flow from that) I don’t think
Kevin Rudd has very good knowledge of the new testament. which is fine, but
he shouldn’t pretend that he knows way more than that pastor, who obviously
deals with the bible a lot, probably more than Kevin
“the pastor believes if he stares hard enough God will smite Kevin” hahaha
best quote
If you a man and agree what’s been said ‘Truth’ regardless of your race,
age and position beware to vote for apolitical party that does not give too
much power, rights for woman, children because they can tell the truth to
the law or police but most of time lie and getaway with it because of the
gender and age. Even for religious communities following the Bible believe
woman, children have more rights than be same as men.
2:31 in the face, I think that guy wants to cry.
Beware of the religious centres and religious houses for praying like
Churches, Mosques where community leaders, Pastors would dictate their
disciples following the religion to hate certain type of people or person
like Homosexuals. Believing in their view bullying them verbal, physical
abuse is the way to cleanse them if your Christian or Catholic and for
Islam anyone behaving in a Homosexual way should be beaten up and killed
‘Beheaded’ executed similar for all woman cannot work or drive!
There is no defence or hope in society or court your innocent win or lose
your seen to the world as guilt because of the law and religions like
Christianity and Catholicism believe men are expendable, guilty and do not
have any voice in society. Era is over for Religions like following the
Bible they care and respect woman, children only not men.
If your working for government like a male Police officer, working for the
military or security guard, you could be reported and accused by a woman or
child for any issue like sexual crime that could put you away for life
behind bars.
This is because in Australia no matter who you are if your a man you can’t
look, touch, talk even walk nearby a woman or child fearing of being sued
for being a sexual predator worse to have sex with a woman or girl at an
legal age never knowing whether she or he ‘gay’ consent for sex’ instead
file for Rape, assault, sexual harassment.
The Bible and Quran are man made religion nor the words from God nor told
by the messengers of God but are hypocritical religious leaders and Pastors
aim to provoke war and to distribute power amongst their people with
politics. Smart Tongue, convincing bastards!
That last bit, “In. Good. Christian. Conscious” sounded more like to me. ”
Fuck. you. backward. bigot”
I’ll give God the middle finger too (I was raised as a Roman Catholic,
baptized and confirmed)
Great response
Don’t blame god for foolish one track mindedness from pastors who’s eye’s
look slightly too big
*whip crack*
Regarding Kevin Rudd’s words on slaves being obedient to their masters, I
invite anyone reading this comment to read 1Timothy 6:1-5 and comment on
whether they view Kevin Rudd as being a godly man or not. As far as I can
see, this particular passage of scripture indicates that Kevin Rudd has
given God the middle finger.
So that pastor is in favor of slavery, because it’s in the Bible. Good to
know.
amazing eloquence
