Obama announces his support of same sex marriage

[Titus]

Actually the case of Loving vs. Virginia enshrined marriage as a human right.

I don't much care what the courts decide if it's in opposition to God's word.

[Titus]

Actually God has never commented on Gay marriage at all. If you disagree, please show me the verse referring to Gay Marriage in the Bible.

I would imagine that God felt no need to comment on gay marriage as He covered homosexuality already as being a sin.

[Titus]

The thing is this issue doesn't offend Christians outside of a congregation of two in deliverance country and the land of contrasts at CWS, and the president is in a predicament with the country? Last I checked more people supported gay marriage than oppose it (something like 47% in favor v. 40% opposed). It may put him in a predicament with the electorate for this cycle, but with the paradigm shifting 3-5 percentage points every year that issue won't be a problem for long.

Check out what one highly regarded Republican pollster had to say on the issue: http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast....ay-issues.html

I'm sure the people of Sodom and Gemorrah heavily favored it as well. So yeah, eventually the state will recognize your union with your domestic partner, and you will feel really good about yourself, but it still won't be recognized by God as a sacred union.

Check here for all the states that have constitional amendments banning gay marriage. They're not all in "deliverance country". You are filled with hate aren't you?

When Obama uses the sacrifice of Christ and the Golden Rule to justify his position he is implying that his thinking is God's thinking. Really more than an implication though.

Look carefully at what is written in this passage. Three examples of apostacy, all having something similar. A fall from an estate that God placed someone in, whether it be believers, angels or men:

I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
(Jud 1:5-7 KJV)

Notice the "even as" before Sodom.

Of course it's the government's job to enforce morality, but they better not dare help the poor. That's the church's job!

Define morality! They enforce laws against murder, fraud, child abuse and more. They want force people into what to eat and what not to eat! Don't give me that line about not enforcing morality. The current government is regulating us to death and you say you can't enforce morality... Get Real!

[Titus]

So 31 states have passed constitutional amendments defining mariage as between one man and one woman. This is a states rights issue but both Obama and Romney are campaigning on it. I imagine this will come before the supreme court at some point, and when it does, I believe the bans on gay marriage will be declared unconstitutional. I hope ​ I am wrong.

You support the government enforcing your view of Biblical marriage, right? Do you have a solid reason not based on religion for opposing same-sex marriage? All the while you support a party that just passed an austerity budget to the house that increases funding for the military-industrial complex by 20%, gives tax cuts to only those who don't work for their income, and cut food assistance for 22 million households with children, cut school lunch and SCHIP health care for 300,000 children under the ruse of balancing the budget which wouldn't happen for 80 years assuming the economy suddenly starts growing at record pace and has no more recessions.

Oh, and then there's the unemployment cuts. I am a little surprised after all the talk of "99ers" when Obama wanted to extend benefits that historyb suddenly finds this wrong, though he blames Obama for how the House Republicans voted.

How does a Christian separate their viewpoints and opinions from what God's word says? It's not like I can say, "Well, I'll agree with God on this, but I think He's wrong about that". If that's the way you lead your life, I seriously fear for for your soul.

My Solid reason is based on the Bible! Destroying traditional marriage will be a further break down the natural family unit. The best scenario for children growing up is for them to be raised by their natural parents.
We can't have a perfect party.... I don't agree with everything that the Republican party does, but I agree with more of what they do than the Democratic party.
