Vatican bars gay union blessing, says God 'can't bless sin'

Correct. He will not destroy any more cities. Jesus said Sodom and Gomorrah will be better off on day of judgment than other towns:

Matt 10:15 "Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town."

So, what is the sin of the towns who will be judged more harshly than Sodom and Gomorrah?

Their sin is having heard the Gospel, and rejected it.

 

You get the point and I do too.

 

God created everything, so He knows what is and what is not healthy to eat.

As for God's laws that forbid the mixing of diverse animals, seeds, fabrics, etc... race-mixing is also forbidden.

.

 

Lol, what? I havn't read the other posts so I'm not sure if you are joking or not. Where could you possibly get that from? God designed things he didn't want mixing through genetics. If two things can have offspring together, they are genetically compatible, so its all good. If he didn't want them mixing, they wouldn't be genetically compatible. Humans are all the same species. Race is an artificial division we made up, when really its just phenotypes that were chosen through natural selection. If you were being sarcastic, I'll apologize now.

 

I tend to think religion is a man made way to explain pain and suffering. And also a proposed way to escape pain and suffering by a way of life or belief. Buddism states that pain is a part of life. I concer. Buddism speaks of reincarnation. I am skeptical. Personally I don't know. But right speech, right action, and right thought may help. And a love for yourself and others.

 

That is your right and no one should question it. Those who believe differently should receive the same latitude. LGBTQ have civil rights, including legal marriage. In this country, churches have the right to decide if they want to religiously solemnize such unions. Those who do are free to do so. Those who do not want to take part in it should be free to make that choice as well.

 

Yup, that's all you really need to do. The rest will take care of itself.

 

God’s Wrath Against Sinful Humanity
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools

A Bible verse that has been used possibly againsgt homosexuality. Many evangelist have used over the years

 

It is one of the chapters in the New Testament which talks about it (men and women):

"Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error."

It is because of such verses that the Catholic Church and more Protestant ones reject the idea of gay marriage.

 

There are probably other verses in the Bible that speak out against gay marriage as well as homosexuality.

 

No, not about gay marriage, since such thing did not exist, but there are verses which define marriage as a union between a man and woman.

 

Yes, and the Bible has always been about crime and punishment. And it is a crime punishable by eternal fire just for being born. The only possible way out is to worship this Christ.

 

That's the way it goes.

 

Maybe; like you, I should start quoting from works of fiction instead
