Act Justly Love Mercy Walk Humbly

This stuff doesn’t apply any more (aside from the “unwholesome talk” in Ephesians.)   Its all Old Testament law - it says in Romans and Galatians and later passages that they are not required to live under this anymore.  The bible itself says these aren’t valid after the resurrection of Jesus when liberation from the law occurs and salvation apart from the law becomes available. 

I’m so sick of stuff like this. people need to know what they’re arguing before they say it.

and someone please tell me how any of these even merely relate to gay marriage?  

the only reason people bring these things up is because people who argue against gay marriage use verses from old testament laws after they’ve stated those are no longer valid.

if only New Testament applies - here is what those against gay marriage should argue - in 1 Corinthians 6:9 - God refers to homosexual offenders as not worthy of inheriting the kingdom of God  Also, husband-wife relations are referred to as “natural relations” and homosexual relations as “unnatural” in Romans 1:26-27 and “perversion” in verse 27. 

I think both side of the argument have been guilty in the past for not having enough knowledge.  Some of my favorite people in the world are gay, and I don’t hate them for it or anything.  In the same way, I think a lot of christians need to do their research before they argue against gay marriage.
