Interesting Quote by Obama
"I will tell you that I don't believe in gay marriage, but I do think that people who are gay and lesbian should be treated with dignity and respect and that the state should not discriminate against them. So, I believe in civil unions that allow a same-sex couple to visit each other in a hospital or transfer property to each other. I don't think it should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state. If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans. That's my view. But we can have a respectful disagreement on that."

Praxeas,
You had me so confused, I thought the paragraph was you talking! Please put it in quotes! I was reading along waiting to know what Obama said!
The scripture in Romans is not obscure but it is as clear as the crystal.
Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Re: Interesting Quote by Obama
I would wonder how Obama got the impression that any scripture in the Bible is classified as "obscure".

Re: Interesting Quote by Obama
So, I went to the Sermon on the Mount as per Osama's suggestion. Couldn't find a thing there on Gay marriage or unions. I'm sure, since he prays to Jesus every night that he must have been thinking of Paul's writings in Romans. Yes, I do recall those words.

After reading Prax's posts throughout the years/months/etc, there's no way I'd get the impression that he was speaking his thoughts...
And the fact that the thread's title, is "Quote by Obama"... I thought it was obvious that it wasn't Prax speaking, but Obama (even without the quotes around the words)...

Re: Interesting Quote by Obama
obscure is a word of convenience, obviously other than jesus himself the greatest teacher of the nt church was paul, nothing he said is obscure to a true believer, imho, obama is not right, aint gettin my support or vote, dt
