1 answer I DON'T see here: Because for the most part, pastoral leadership did not step up to the plate. They did not give their congregation rebuttals to "born this way" "you're supposed to accept everyone" "it's who I am" "you do you" and all the other messages. The congregation was BOMBARDED with cultural preaching from all their favorite TV shows about how they need to accept it, while churches rarely addressed the topic and never thoroughly. That was left to political pundits and online hotheads, contributing to the notion that only mean people are against it. And a lot of people's morality doesn't go beyond "nice" vs "mean".

[@krisgangwer3796]

While it is true that the pastors are to fault for not being true to the calling, but let me ask this... At what point do we stop playing the blame game and accept personal responsibility? Do we not all have access to the Scriptures to read and study them?

[@ethanmoon3925]

@krisgangwer3796 Yes, there are individual personal failings in the congregation involved. Like I said, a lot of Christians have bought into the "nice vs mean" definition of morality which is NOT Biblical. But many stayed grounded, stayed in the word, had hard conversations in their families... but only individuals. I hear way more bold Christian truth online than in the churches. The churches often give the vibe that it's a private matter that you can't speak negatively about, even if they have correct doctrine. And that silence leaves the faithful feeling like they're completely alone against the tide. Of course, they're not alone since God is with them. But we could help so many of our weaker brethren become strong and not fall into worldliness if we didn't publicly retreat from all these new cultural dogmas.

I remember when Obergafeld was on the docket and all these same sex attracted people made arguments like “we just want to be able to get on our partners life insurance.” Or “we just want to be able to visit them in the hospital.” “And marriage protects us in the event of a catastrophe. I just thought “why not call it a civil union and extend those perks to civil unions? Why do we have to call it a marriage. They don’t seem interested in a holy union. Just logistical issues.” And 9 years later… Christians are denied from being foster parents, children are being sterilized and same sex couples are demanding the right to have access to women’s uteruses and eggs so they can “have children.”

It's because it has become so widespread that just about EVERY family has at least one member of this persuasion. I know people that were friends for many years but now not any more. Not because they should be gay or I should happen to be gay but rather because SOMEBODY ELSE is gay. I'm not gay and the old friend is not gay, a relative of the old friend is gay and because I am not ' all supportive ' of them, then we are no longer friends.

[@krisgangwer3796]

You are right in that this is widespread, and it probably wouldn't be if the church was doing right... Had a situation arise at our church recently. A woman was "grooming" or attempting to groom others in the church. Well, she got into a snit because the pastor preached against homosexuality and then the accusations begin to fly. Next thing we know, she is "engaged" to another woman from the church and they ended up leaving the church to spread rumors around town. Were these two women Christian? Well, that is their claim but the fruits of the tree does not pan out that way. Friendships were destroyed through all of that.

I'm a high school student and my father was a minister and know he is a missionary, we live in Thailand and I've seen a lot of same-sex marage or transgenders. Most of my friends here don't believe Jesus and the Holy bible. So the way I found that why this is wrong is, in Korea education, it is necessary to teach students evolution so most of the students here believe evolution more than Creation which we believe it is fact. The first time that I said to my friends why I do not agree with same-sex marage based on the Bible, they didn't agree. So the next way was, we all studied evolution so I also found why same-sex marage shouldn't be accepted, so I explained them by based on the evolution, they agreed with me which is kinda sad but the next step, I tried to be close to them and now I'm trying to invite them to church. What I want to say is, evolution is one of the human's sin but if you use it to prove one thing is wrong, we can also say evolution is also wrong and Christianity is the only fact, but not in one step, having multiple steps might actually outcome a better conclusion

I think it is because millions of Christians celebrate our American political system as a gift given by God. If that is the case those Christians are certainly obligated to promote and participate in that system. The problem is that the entire American political system is predicated on the “ideal” of compromise. Millions of Christians are literally proud of themselves when they give in.

God, and God alone, determines what is and isn't morally acceptable, what is and isn't sin. We do not determine what sin is for ourselves, nor is it determined by popular vote. And it certainly isn't determined by what is trendy or popular at the moment.

[@twanettefourie3131]

I find it challenging that we as Christians refer to this sexual sin as same sex "marriage". I believe the Biblical term is homosexuality. Our word choice shapes definitions, and I believe we need to stress sin aligned with how God defines it. Marriage is one man for one woman for one life. As only 2% of Christians regularly read the Word of God, I believe we need to edify the church with Biblical terminology to help each other in Biblical thinking.

[@oldsalty8562]

The term homosexual was first used in 1868. So the idea might be biblical the word is not. The English Bible says God created evil,Isaiah 45:7.

[@ajforms4818]

I keep hearing this one wife to one husband thing. Show me in the Bible where AlmightyGod says thou shall have only one wife. It's NOT in there. Nor does God even endorse it. In fact, Israel was the product of several multiple-wives and or handmaids. Culminating later with Solomon who had 700 wives and 300 concubines besides, yet not a peep about God being unhappy about it. This one and one stuff comes from satan, thru the church, and written into law by various governments. In the NT there is only one time the one-plus-one "rule" comes into effect, and that is in when selecting men for governance in the Church, like Bishops, Deacons, Elders, and such, and who made this recommendation? Certainly not God.. If a man can take care of 1000 women, and God never had a problem with it; why does man. and yes, If I had the means, I would for sure have more wives. For all Solomon's women, IIRC he only fathered four children ........ that we know of, and one of then was a rotten-apple.

I, personally, am advocating for teaching creationism in public schools. Currently, we have a monopolistic approach to history and science. Students are being indoctrinated by liberal philosophy. No matter what is being taught, the choice is still the individual’s as to believe it or not. Public schools should be able to present competing views to allow students the most well-informed means to a conclusion.

[@burnttoast2790]

The problem, of course, is that trying to teach creationism in science class is a violation of the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment, which has been confirmed by the judicial branch of the US government. Creationism can certainly be taught in places like world history and comparative religions, but _not_ in science.

Just stop. Stop justifying disobedience. And stop trying to use the Scriptures to promote and condone what God has outright called an abomination. Sin is sin.

Bible is clear about the subject. You can deny it, but that doesn’t change the truth. Yes. Many people who claim to be Christian are not.

That false teachers will creep into the church and lead many (or most) astray. So that they will believe a lie instead of the truth. I pray for Christ’s return.

If I claim to be a Christian, a follower of Christ, why would I reject the very thing that Jesus said we should read, listen to and follow? The Bible provides examples of how to live well and how not to live well. It tells us that faith isn’t blind, it should only be given to those things that are proven truths. The evidence of things not seen. I trust the Bible over any other document.
