Thou shalt not kill
Sorry, you all appear to support the Iraq war, and Chip has even stated that it's not a sin if you kill somebody that needs killing. Grade: F
This is a good point. I wonder about killing in a state of war, as well.
The Golden Rule
I get the sense that you'd be upset if the church and government prohibited you from marrying someone of the opposite gender. Yet you impose that rule on others. This is not treating others as you'd like to be treated. Grade: F
Not good argument. You can't say that, or you'd never say "no" to anything.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone
Not even close. You've been hurling stones. Does anyone want to claim that they are in a state of grace? Grade: D- (only because nobody is without sin)
Who, specifically, by name has he judged? Speaking out against evil is not judgement. Plus, he's pronouncing God's judgement, not his, anyway.
Judge not, lest ye be judged
There's a whole lotta judging going on. Gay folks are evil? Not only judgement, but incorrect. Grade: F
Same argument as above.
Love thy neighbor
Only if they're not gay. And, as Jesus says, it's easy to love people that are like you. Try loving someone who is not like you. If you love them, you'd let them marry who they love. Grade: F (you can't even bring yourself to love those who worship the same God that you do)
You can't used God's word against itself. He said homosexuality is wrong, and he said love your neighbor as well. You sort that out.
Love thy enemy
It seems that you view those who have homosexual sex as the enemy. You don't love these people, in fact you persecute them. Grade: F
Rethink your definition of love and persecution.
Turn the other cheek
I haven't seen any indication that you're turning the other cheek. Grade C-
You folks haven't shown that you embrace Jesus' teachings, yet you insist on professing that you're Christian. Why?
I've heard the response that you're Christian, but an unworthy sinner, or an imperfect Christian. My recommendation then, is to call yourself something other than Christian. A square is not a circle, and while a triangle or oval may be closer to a circle, IT IS STILL NOT A CIRCLE, nor is your behavior Christian (if your posts are any indication).
