But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomor'rah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked

(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds: )

the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government.

Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.

Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

But these, as natural brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

Interesting opinion. Why is that? Are you afraid of them?



Marriage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And lol, sanctity. "For most of European history, marriage was more or less a business agreement between two families who arranged the marriages of their children. Romantic love, and even simple affection, were not considered essential.[10] Historically, the perceived necessity of marriage has universally been stressed."



No it wasn't. It was a contract.



Only the Abrahamic and Indian religions do, actually (Far Eastern religions are pretty much apathetic about the whole thing; Pagan and Neopagan religions generally support homosexuality). Granted, they are "major religions" by the number of adherents, but the Abrahamic religions certainly didn't give birth to marriage as a concept. If anything, they co-opted it.
No I'm not scared of them, I just consider them disgusting.

Lol, I'm arguing the CONCEPT of marriage as put forth in Australian law cannot apply to homosexuals, as its based on Christian values originally present in the British system. Hence they cannot be "married", under Australian law.

What other people do in the privacy of their own homes concerns you that much?

...which were based on non-religious contracts stretching back to the Egyptians and probably beyond. Go back far enough, and all your religious-based "justifications" really make no sense.

They probably they have; they just don't know it, given most homosexuals don't really want to be abused by people like Venom.

Actually that's probably true, a few guys at UTS i know are gays but i didn't suspect anything until a few weeks later.

seriously, some posters need get out a bit and have an open minded view of the world.

I wouldnt call myself a homophobe. These are vulnerable people, looking for answers in the wrong places. They are in deep sin and will never find happiness along such a path. Through the false promises of society and merchants, they are blinded to their error and the struggle for their soul.
They deserve compassion and urgently need guidance along the true path of Life

I dont give a fuck about what they're doing in their own home. What bothers me is how our society condones homosexuality, and even promotes it. Just look at the Mardi Gras, thats celebrated so fondly across Australia.

Fucking disgusting.

Why? It is, after all, perfectly natural, and by definition not something that is going to affect you.

Allowing an activity to operate, isn't the same as condoning or promoting it. Homosexuality is just a thing, a state of being. What society promotes is the idea of diversity and tolerance of all people.

The idea you can 'promote' a sexuality is a ridiculous idea regardless. It's just a state of being. You might as well promote being a certain gender, promote being young or old.
