NEWSER) – If gay people aren't allowed to get married, then no one's getting married. That's the position the Green Street United Methodist Church is taking. The North Carolina church will refuse to conduct any weddings or sign any marriage licenses, straight or otherwise, until same-sex marriage is legal and condoned by the United Methodist Church, its leadership council announced Friday, saying it "sees injustice in the legal position of the state government and the theological position of our denomination."

Re: Church Refuses to Perform Straight Weddings UNTIL SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS LEGAL
What is that in the New Testament about those that Forbid to Marry? Of course in that day and time Marriage was purely a heterosexual thing.

Of course these churchs are not 'exactly' forbidden the heteros to get married just forbidden them from being able to be married in their church.

This approach seems extremely unwise and unsound and unfounded.. for an alleged, Christain Church.

Jesus spoke about eunuchs... did he not.. in other words if you could not contain yourself, and did not want to get involved in marriage and its risks, then perhaps one should become a eunuch.. whatever a eunuch meant in those days..

There are eunuchs that are eunuchs from birth
There are enunuchs that other people make into a eunuch.
and there are those the make themselves eunuchs..

in other words, no homosexual marriage.. under the New Testament.

But most of the common and older denominations seem to have just shedded the New Testament in any language and have conjured up their own 'scriptural' basis for their doctrines.

Oh well.. what is MARRIAGE and Getting MARRIED anyways.. ?

"In the children of the Resurrection shall be as (a similie) angels in heaven, and they shall not marry nor be given in marriage..."

Perhaps some are jumping the gun a little bit, thinking the Resurrections have already all come to pass... these sorts of Christian churchs.. do these even deserve the term, Christain?

Don't these 'fools' realize that two hetero Christians don't even need a "Legal" marriage license from either the Church nor the State.. but only the two of them, two people to give witness to it, and the vow to God.. its that simple, no Legal State no so called Church marriage or even wedding new be perfomred as if it was some form of Magical Ritual and Magical Ceremony with the use of the proper and correct Magical Formulation of words spoke in the prescribed spells. Even the standard marriage VOWS function totally as magical spell casting.

If the Church can't marry the way God told them to then it is probably better for everyone that they stop doing it the way god intended for them to do it and sit and think about why God Said to have a Man and a Woman become one flesh.

That is why they are called churches..the word is the Anglo SAXON rendition of a pagan temple.The real name was taken out the bible which meant the holy assembly of israel..the building is known as bet knesset

So it is no surprise these gentiles are showing their true colors..like if you did not know! duh
1 But these took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,
42 That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
43 And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
44 For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
45 For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.
46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come,

The world is on the verge of major collapse and war and these pro-gay fucktards find nothing better to fight for than "gay crap"! Like seriously, WTF.???
