I guess I am in the "homosexual families bothering me as much as adulterous families, lying families, ect." crowd.

Re: MODERN FAMILY ad in email

You know, I am not sure I can put a measuring stick to much of what has been said. I think that the heterosexual couples, in and out of the church, have done as much, if not more to destroy the lives of children with infidelity, divorce, remarriage, and acting like it is the 'norm'. To act like what we do is better than the homosexual couples trying to raise and love children is a bit judgmental, don't you think? Kids get the the brunt end of the stick in this post-modern age we live in.

Missing the point.

We aren't trumping one over the other. We are pointing our culture to still have good models. Let's fix what we have, but that's not what's on trial. Bringing in same-sex marriage creates a new model, and exacerbates what's already a mess.

I don't represent all heterosexuals. That's nonsense. I represent me and my family. Larger than that, I represent Christ. We aren't supportive of same-sex marriage, so therefore don't appreciate the influence of medium to paint this 1% of the population as a norm. It's a distortion of truth, of what God designed and of social order. That's what this is.

Well, I do agree that the media promotes agendas to 'normalize' abnormal behaviors. What is promotes as a freedom to some is binding to others. The most discriminated against in our secondary education schools, in the workplaces, and in national multi-media forums is the heterosexual christian.

I guess my reason for posting is that there are many posts that tend to use the measuring stick and state that one sin is worse than the other when the Bible quite clearly states that "NO SIN WILL ENTER HEAVEN".

When we use God's measure then it leaves us all a bit lacking, don't you think?

Blessings, Rhoni

Supposed to be a comedy. Too vile to be funny.

Let's give the world the gospel...not the one according to the UPCI manuel....the one written as the inspired/God-breathed word...The BIBLE.

Put me into the camp of "Placing a child into a homosexual "union" is abuse, and should be illegal" camp.
