[Vision2020] Re: Gay marriage...... an oxymoron......

[J Ford]

How do you define that tolerance?  Do you accept (tolerate) them being 
married, with/without children and allowed to have decent, human rights 
afforded them such as health/legal benefits that other people "enjoy" or 
demand?  If not, why  not?  There are plenty of people, science types as 
well others, who say it IS natural - certainly for the particular person(s) 
it is.

Jesus was the most tolerant and most forgiving and accepting of All and I 
don't see ANYwhere in the Bible where He says "treat those you don't agree 
with with contempt and refuse them services."  Quite the opposite, really.

Of all people, He chose to eat with a tax collector in the man's house and 
even had one as an apostle (NOT self-appointed) as His companion.

The Bible says we are ALL to be include all in our worship and love of God.  
We are supposed to include EVERYone in the lifting up of our voices to God.  
As Jesus said "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."

"Uisce ní riachtanas go nigh an fear glan ach na leabhair sin cé iompair 
brocamas cara dúinn beatha in éineacht le téama"   "Water is not needed to 
wash the clean but those who carry the dirt of life with them."  Look in the 
mirror, man.  This is for ALL of us, not just those YOU do not tolerate or 
like or approve of.

P.S. And before you ask, YES, I meant everyone.
