I revere Jesus and love him just like all the prophets including Mohammed peace be upon him. Christians have elevated a prophet into a place of undue worship. Jews have blasphemed against and tried to kill their prophets. Muslims on the other hand achieve true monotheism by revering God's words and obeying him and his prophets.

Kudos Rev. Calvin for standing on the truth. Cardinal Newman once said that "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for the good men to do nothing ".

And this is seventy five percent of the worldwide Anglican union. This is a cataclysmic departure from the historical biblical Christian and Jewish faiths.

[@smacky1966]

I agree. Though I've come to accept same sex marriage by the state, I agree with you that his colonialist point was spot on.

If the couple doesn't want kids and (there are some who don't) then that is their mutual consensus. I know one couple married late in life married to no one else before who does not have children. Everyone else I know married has or wants kids. Most do. Marriage vows are created in spite of feeling not because of them feelings/emotions come & go vows and commitments remain. This is the advice given to me by all of the people who achieved lifelong marriages. Married in their very early 20's died within years of each other in their 90's most of them anyway. All the WW2 generation. A generation who knew what commitment ment, we could learn a lot from them.

Rev. Calvin, and this gentleman gave a rather good speech. I must say, I'm so glad I was guided to Catholicism. I'm an English Roman Catholic. I was an agnostic for all my life. It took me 4 years of investigation of all major religions before I converted. When I was baptised into the Catholic church I was and am so happy. I converted based on historical and theological evidence. The local Anglican church seems empty. Not just in its pews. But my English Catholic church is growing. We have many black African immigrants and some native Englishmen like myself. I was Baptised by Fr. Dennis of Ghana and got the Eucharist by Fr. Pascal of Angola. Two great African priests which we need here as my countrymen in this nation have fallen away. But I'm glad to say the other week we had to house people in the choir pit. There are so many now. For my Anglican brothers, they are in schism. They will remain so until they come to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I'm only in my 20's and a student and young people want tradition. Not a government telling me what God "really thinks."

Roman Catholicism is a false religion. Where in the NT does it say we worship Mary and have rosary beads or need to confess our sins to a priest in a confession box? We pray to God thru Jesus who is our intercessor.

[@tired_eyes49]

I do not wish to spark debate here but simply clarify: 1) We do not worship Mary. And I hope you believe Catholics when we say that. Worship belongs to God alone. Mary’s “yes” to God’s will, becoming the vessel through which God entered into our humanity, is a very big deal. She is venerated, NOT worshipped. And, since it is related and I’ve seen it argued before, no, us praying ro Mary or the Saints does not mean we worship them. We believe they are in Heaven with God and can also pray on our behalf, as they are literally right there with Him. It is similar to if I asked you, my brother or sister, to pray for me. This does not mean we do not pray directly to God through Jesus, which we do every day. I pray the Rosary daily- oh, why would Jesus ignore his own mother coming to him on my behalf? Did he not listen to her at the Wedding of Cana?- but I also, and most importantly, talk with Jesus daily. In fact, every morning I start my day thanking God for the day and praying to him to forgive me of my sins, to help me to repent, and also see if I need to go to Confession, which leads me to my next point… 2) Jesus specifically told us to confess our sins to each other and also told the apostles that whatever they bind on Earth will be bound in Heaven and whatever they loose on Earth will be loosened in Heaven. From personal experience, There is a beautiful freedom of knowing that you are in fact forgiven of your sins, instead of doing a crazy mental gymnastics that I have heard many of my non-Catholic brothers and sisters lament on because they have very little certainty of their forgiven state. I have received so much beautiful counsel from our priests leading me to a holier life. I pray that you too may one day experience the joy and love I have experienced through Jesus in the Confessional.

I myself got to experience triple trauma: 1.dealing with a narcissist and other mentally ill person 2.dealing with personality clash 3.dealing with other toxic behaviors I feel like there are problems that need to be addressed like who will be married and are qualified to become parents, the issue on teenage pregnancy is also a problem... The problems faced by our society have been brought by heterosexual people mostly..

[@dwpetrak]

@@lilac624 The last thing you say is both obvious and irrelevant considering that heterosexual people have always been over 90% of the world's population. "The problems faced by our society have been brought by heterosexual people mostly" It would be more helpful to an argument to normalize the data (give it per capita).

[@michaelmorgan7226]

Dr Paul is absolutely right. You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. The truth is as he rightly said marriage is between one man and one woman. Sometimes we feel like John the Baptist crying out in the wilderness. The wilderness of the morally lost. The Muslim faith is very clear as it was in the beginning, one man and one woman. I am of the Orthodox faith and believe in the sanctity of marriage between man and woman. It is Biblical and is the Word of God.

From the Holy Scriptures 1 Corinthians 14: 33-35: "For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church."

[@tobias-edwards]

Rev. Dr Ian Paul provides evidence upon evidence on marriage between man and woman, even digging deeper to it's Judaist roots. The way Rev. Dr Ian Paul phrases his argument is compelling and highlights that voting for the motion gives cause to scrap everything has has mentioned as wrong. It's a hard sell. Rev. Dr Ian Paul does finish his speech early, perhaps there was time to attempt to refute some of the previous arguments which hovered.

As a South African I often get asked how my Dutch ancestors ended up in Africa. This, this is how. All the people who disagreed with the Catholic, Protestant and church of England, fled to South Africa after the trade point was opened in the Cape and the word spread that there is a free country where people can worship God as it is written in the Bible and nothing else. And we called it the Dutch Reformed church.

[@nickwidmer9044]

You mean the church that blessed Apartheid crimes against humanity? Yeah such a lovely bunch...

[@carmenvljn]

Born and bred South African. Very glad I never went to the Dutch Reformed Church with it's Replacement Theology, racism and emphasis on works, never telling little ones that they need to be born again and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Dutch Reformed Church is dying, be honest now. Young people are fleeing it.

As a believer in democracy and freedom of choice for the individual I would be against any organisation trying to impose its values on others. To this end the role of the Church of England in the UK state should now finish. I'm absolutely happy for Christians, Muslims and other religions to abide by their beliefs, but totally reject their right to impose them on others.

[@roydodds3693]

@@simoneperreault1957 Noswith da, Simone, I am as certain there are no gods as you are certain there is, and as certain as Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Jains, Buddhists etc are as certain that there brand is the right one. The one thing they all have in common is the complete lack of evidence on which to base their belief. As an Atheist, my position is confirmed, up until some evidence to support any god is shown - and I'll happily support that god if that were to happen. I would not be so arrogant as to impose my morale framework on others, and can embrace the richness and diversity of mankind as one of our great strengths. God neither disappears nor goes away, there simply is no evidence to support such a belief. I'm unafraid of death (tried it already!) and do not need some childish threat of retribution to act in a civilised manner not hold an arbitrary set of rules as absolute - thank goodness for democratic process - to weed out discrimination between the sexes, races and orientations, and to ditch practises such as slavery condoned in the Bible.

[@ileanasantamaria2364]

Here's the trouble though: should the Church of England have its views and beliefs dictated to it by the UK state or, put another way, should the Church, as a private institution, conform to the prevailing view of the secular society on sexuality and marriage? It works both ways - The Church should not have new dogma from a completely secular source imposed on it from without, any more than you would want the church to dictate morality to the UK state. A young woman named Chloe, I believe, gave an excellent speech to that effect, also in favor of this motion, meaning against same-sex marriage in the church, even though she herself is for it. She makes the point that as a private institution, the church should get to determine what church marriage is and isn't, consists of and means.

[@roydodds3693]

@@ileanasantamaria2364 I think there are several issues at play here. The C of E is currently the state church of the UK and in trying to cope with the secular, non-Christian majority nature of the modern UK is trying to appeal to everyone - and succeeds in appealing to no one. Perhaps it would be better all round to drop the concept of state religion, allow the C of E to concentrate on being a Christian organisation and allow the non-Christian majority in the UK is live in peace without an out of touch church literally preaching to us.

[@roydodds3693]

@@simoneperreault1957 In days of old. when the UK was a largely Christian country a Christian state religion was OK but now Christians are in the minority it is time for the C of E to step aside. The church can concentrate on being Christian, and the non-Christian majority in the UK can live in peace without an irrellavent religious organisation having a say in our lives.

[@anushkasekkingstad1300]

In my professional life, I prosecute crimes. Sins are religious superstitions of no consequence as they cannot be prosecuted. The bible, in common with all religious texts, is deeply ignorant, superstitious nonsense that promotes criminal behaviour, violence, bigotry and hatred.

The Christian teaching as brought to us in the Bible is very clear that Marriage is only between a man & women. However if secular concerns who are not Christian choose to do gay marriage that is a different thing but is still a sin.

Exactly.

And then now BOOOM! A new teaching has come and now we are to accept that 'male and female, He DID NOT create them.' Alaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar! Who bewitched you, Galatians!
