How do you define "respecting their marriage?"
We could begin with not trying to seduce either of them or break them up.

Do you have statistics Lynn that show a correlation between parents who want to opt out of Sexual Education classes and sexual abuse?
I would agree but has this been a problem?

People are people and whether we like it or not families will always interfere it's your choice whether or not you give them the ability to affect you.Well, let's see. Extended families do. Certain churches do. Some thoughtless busybodies such as workplace acquaintances do.
I would be willing to bet this has far more to do with corporal punishment than sexual abuse.Not personally, no. But research-based risk assessment matrices positively correleate religious rigidity with risk to children. These are standard throughout agencies across the world.

As for Churches if you don't like the doctrine leave.
In the workplace laws exist to protect against harrassment, utilize them.
You might as well say people are people and people will always commit adultery.
The argument I made was that the commandments against adultery and against coveting your neighbor's wife show a biblical principle of respect for your neighbor's marriage.
Are you really sure this kind of consumerist attitude toward Christian community is a good one?
OK.
So what does all this have to do with the topic of this thread?

...those who purposely try to change doctrine and dogma that has stood for 2000 years.
I really don't have a problem with someone trying to say that a particular doctrine is wrong, opening a dialog and attempting to peacefully affect change, but I do have a problem with those who take it upon themselves to defy such doctrines unilaterally, and then attempt to force such changes on the body as a whole.
My response consists of questions to you that answered should show you your point is flawed. How can commandments which say do not commit adultery apply to gays?I'm trying to understand how your response answers my point.
No my position is that I dont think they are gay, if you think they are how does a same sex couple get to be a father and mother?I think you just said they are.
when you address my questions about your statements you will see I am not contradicting myself.When you stop contradicting yourself, we may be able to understand each other.
I have done, you need to show me how Gods word says either paedophilia or same sex unions doesnt harm people.Can you show me where God's word says paedophilia harms and is error?
To Texas Lynn,
How come same sex prohibitions is bogotry against LGBT people but adultery isnt bigotry against straight people?
How come theft prohibition isnt bigotry against people who are thieves?
The bottom line is this forum encourages citations from the Bible to support the Christian position.
Not sure I understand any of that. How do LG people form families? God’s purpose is fo marriage between a man and a woman, divorce can therefore only be between a man and a woman,In some cases it is. In some of our more activist right-wing churches which continually attack LGBTs and their families you will find perhaps as many as 1/4 to 1/2 of the married couples have been previously married or divorced, either the husband or wife or both, some more than once.
So they don’t promote theft the like liberals promote same sex unions, good for the right wing.Hmmm. People on the right wing tend to be generally silently forgiving of Sarah Palin's bilking of Alaska taxpayers which is certainly a form of government graft, which is theft.
That’s just your view, mine is that this forum encourages citations from the Bible to support the Christian position.There is specific "Christian" position on the issues as like this one on most given issues Christians will favor both (or all, if it's not an either/or proposition) positions.

If you have some scriptures form both testaments that countenances same sex unions please provide it and we can match it against the dozen we can see exclude it and condemn it. If you cant I fail to see how you can put the Christian position.
so presumably a gay man and a lesbian woman conceive children and start a family, that’s how straight couple do it. Surely though that would make the gay man and lesbian woman straight?Same as heterosexuals pretty much, though often with more variations.
Then it cant be the same God. Christians believe in the God whose testimony is in the Bible, the Bible says God created woman for man, male and female, and it was for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be united with his wife (Gen 2, Matt 19, Eph 5 etc) You aren’t trying to tell me Christians don’t believe the Bible are you?That's your opinion. Others disagree.
same gender marriage is a human concept and against God’s purposes as I have demonstrated from scripture.Not in jurisdictions which permit same gender marriage.
Yes they are, one has to be fundamentally Christian to be Christian, if you cant provide some scriptural evidence from both testaments that countenances same sex unions I don’t think you cant put the Christian position.Not all Christians are fundamentalists. Your methodology there only works for them and they are only a small segment of Christians.
