I love how progressive constantly say are not attempting to change traditional Christian belief yet they mock , disparage and insult and now have legally changed the term marriage to include the imaginal aspects of our religious faith . I go to church from time to time but am not a member of a "church" . My believe's are with the Creator and I do not require any human approval . I find that the basic morals and tenets of the Christian faith are admirable and provide a foundation .
The progressive and homosexual activist constantly push a little here and a little there and as with water flowing over a stone the stone is reduced over time as is the foundation of the church or for example the foundation of Constitution .
As to being comfortably special ,,, I am ,, and so are you . Do you not feel like a special being to be given the gift of life . However I am only superior to others with certain abilities and inferior with others whose abilities surpass mine .
Now , back to that damn donkey , yes ...I used that as a passing shot over your bow so to speak ,,,, Soooorrrryyyy , I can be an ass also

But Jack, for a believer, is this not all happening the way the Go a greatd plans and orders? It promises the world and ungodly humans will always be a thorn in the flesh for its followers.

At least you don't live in the biblical story cities of Sodom or Gomorrah! There is no promise to Christians that the world here will be transformed to their needs and liking.

In fact , just the opposite.

Romans 12:2
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
King James Version (KJV)

If one were to submit that the present world and it's people exist and affect you in exactly the manner and degree your God has so ordained, would you disagree?

No I do not disagree your on point!......with the only exception being, we (christians) are instructed in "Peter" TO know the word, so as to always be ready for an answer"
The problems and "break downs" in society that really gained wind since the early 60's is the Churches fault for remaining silent and not defending the faith with anywhere near the vigor those against the church have been fighting. The voices "defending the faith " have been a whisper with the church's people going on about their daily business as usual. Just now after the foothold/strongholds have taken their hold are we hearing a "few" more voices crying out, in hopes of defending the faith.
This is prophecy in action, " first we must see a falling away of the Church". Over the past several years we can see this happening right before our eyes.
Have a great day

Of course it affects marriage. It throws it right into the trash can, rendering it meaningless. Marriage is sacred because it's purpose is not to legitimize degeneracy and depravity but rather to give a proper balanced environment for bringing up the next generation. Only an idiot defiles the sanctity of marriage by using it to legitimize Butt Fu*king between members of the same sex. You stupid liberals have no spiritual discernment at all and fail to understand the negative societal effects of your asinine degenerate policies. Throughout the whole world since the beginning of time people have recognized what is proper until your stupid liberal leaders try to change everything and actually that comes from the very top of the illuminati which is a satanic organization trying to bring about the destruction of humanity under the guise of fairness and equality.

Nobody wants to take away your right to choose to go to hell, tell anybody what to do or take take away the free will that God gave you (like the Muslims do). Just don't defile marriage by calling it marriage -- give it some of the benefits of marriage and call it gay union or something, but don't defile the sanctity of marriage by trying to legitimize abnormal stinky activities by calling it marriage.

I know you are a godless moron but you are bringing about God's judgment on America which is surely on its way. If that were not so God would have to apologize for Sodom and Gomorrah (which by the way has been found and the sulfur and brimstone there, a rock that burns with the blue flame, is 98% pure, but only up to 40% anywhere else in the world --- Put Sodom and Gomorrah in your YouTube address bar and find out all about it) Go ahead and learn about it, or are you scared --- You should be 'cuz God is real and that is just one of the many proofs you ignore.
