Would you attend a same sex marriage?

[Vambram]

No, I would not go. Instead, I would tell the couple that I do still love them and will continue to pray for them. However, same-sex marriages are unholy and I cannot condone it because the Lord God Himself does not condone same sex marriages.

 

[atpollard]

I would get about a hundred volunteers from Westboro Baptist Church to join me in disrupting the wedding.

[Not really, I just wanted to say something different than everyone else had said. When faced with that choice, we sent a gift and declined to attend.]

 

[The Liturgist]

Fortunately the SBC at least does not do homosexual weddings, and I greatly admire Dr. Albert Mohler for his stand against homosexuality and abortion, to the extent that I regard him as the foremost Western moral theologian at present, since the death of Dr. James Kennedy, and before him, Pope John Paul II (all three of which are excellent moral theologians, even though I disagree with all three them in other respects).

I have a brother who is an active homosexual and has a "boyfriend." God forbid, and I pray this never happens, but if it did, I would refuse to attend and pray for their conversion.

God bless

No.

But maybe if it wasn't in a church or church-ordained marriage. Big maybe.

But I can't see myself ever getting invited to a gay marriage.

I think Christians in this situation need to ask themselves what are they doing that is putting them in this situation?

For those who think it’s okay: What are some events you would draw the line at not attending b/c it conflicts w/ your Christian beliefs? How is this different from that?

For those who don’t think it’s okay: Could this be a wisdom decision & not a moral decision? What makes something a wisdom decision & not a moral decision? What makes something a moral decision & not wisdom decision? Could it be a learning opportunity? (I find exposure to gays increases my faith b/c I directly see the illness (a lot of times it's a heart issue) & they need help from a Saviour)


As stated, I don’t put myself in situations that would get me invited to a gay marriage. If you go looking for this kind of stuff, like the company of sin, it will look for you & invite you.

As Paul says in regards to s/ they eat meat for sacrifices: it may just depend on the person. Someone strong in the faith recognizes it's not an endorsement & it doesn't mean they're endorsing it or it's acceptable to God (pray before you go, pray during, pray after).. Someone not likes it & before you know it, gay isn't a sin anymore, 'love is love'. You just shouldn't be looking for it to prove your open-minded

"Love is love" is nothing but a cop out. Lust is not love. Sick of hearing that phrase from the LGBT crowd.

Love rejoices with the truth, not the lie of sin.

Family members whom they love have decided to be homosexual.
The homosexual woman invites her favorite aunt to the wedding because she loves her aunt.
The aunt loves her niece, but she does not attend the wedding, nor does she allow the homosexual partner in her home.
She loves the sinner, but not the sin.

Love rejoices with the truth, not the lie of sin.

Amen!

Would you attend a same sex marriage?

No. Never. "Take no part in the evil works of darkness, but instead, expose them." Ephesians.

For many Christians, what puts them in that situation is a relative who is in a same-sex relationship. It creates a cognitive
dissonance between their beliefs and their loyalty and love for the family member.

It's not about getting approval from anyone. It is not even necessarily agreeing with the decision they are taking. It is about showing friendship and care and doing things in a respectful and dignified way.

Eph 5:11
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
I can not see your view in this verse

Would you attend a same sex marriage?

It's not marriage, so how could I go?

 

[linux.poet]

I'm not about to make negative remarks on people who would go to such a marriage, but I would be uncomfortable going. Watching the couple up on the stage, knowing that they are ruining their lives, would make me feel sick to my stomach.

It breaks my heart.

 

[Kokavkrystallos]

If I did go (and I wouldn't) I'd probably get either escorted out or arrested for standing up and preaching against Sodomy from Leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1!

Good for you!

 

[jsimms615]

Good question. I would have to think long and hard on that, but I disagree that simply attending a same sex wedding implies that you approve of it. I think if I cared about the person and was invited I might attend the service if it was outside of a church setting.
