Funny thing: the Bible actually acknowledges other Gods. It just tells the children of Israel that THEY are not allowed to worship anyone but YHVH. Nor is there any commandment for them to attempt to convert the stranger. That is why I can get along with my Jewish friends.

Jesus is God, of the Triune Godhead. Messiah had to be rejected first to bring salvation unto the gentiles and thus fulfilling the scriptures.

Quit following a condemned fallen angel, Satan......and come to Jesus Christ for the remission of sins!

Believing in Satan is blasphemy against the God of the Bible...

(Well, if you are one of the children of Israel that is required to follow His teachings, anyway. If not, you can make up any little fantasy that makes you happy.)

The Supreme Court recognized, in its landmark 1967 decision in Loving v. Virginia that the “right to marry is of fundamental importance for all individuals” and “one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness.” After Loving, marriage is deemed a “fundamental freedom” protected by the Constitution, and states cannot deny an individual of this basic right without an exceedingly good reason.

The 14th Amendment is part of the Law of the Land/Constitution.

You are incorrect. The Hebrew word for sphere is duwr. A spherical object is a hemishpere from every viewable angle.

Not this nonsense again. Duwr doesn't always mean ball. In Isaiah 29:3 it clearly means a circle. Instead of repeating what other Satanic fools say, why not actually study it for yourself.

Isaiah 29:3- And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

We pause now for a quick constitutional law primer: The Supreme Court has decided marriage cases under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the 14th Amendment. The Due Process Clause protects fundamental rights while the Equal Protection Clause prohibits discrimination. Seen as a denial of a fundamental right under the Due Process Clause, the case for marriage equality for same-sex couples should be obvious.

Nope. The Hebrew scriptures speak of one God, not a triune. "Christians" made up THAT nonsense. And Jesus didn't fulfill the prophecies of the Hebrew scriptures, therefore he was NOT the messiah.

Chuwg can also mean sphere and plus a spherical object is a circle from every viewable angle.

Silly, ignorant child. No, chuwg does not mean sphere. That little myth was invented by Bible worshiping literalists desperate to save their idol from the trash heap of history.

Jesus came to redeem the entire world. Yes he was the Jewish messiah, but as the messiah he was no longer reserved just for the people of Isreal.

That is why the vast majority of Jews converted to Christianity within the first three centuries, explaining its rapid growth. The remnants of those holdouts who refused to except their own Messiah is what is known as rabbinical juadism today.

Obviously they dont accept that Jesus was the Messiah, but even secular scholars acknowledge that most Jews came to accept Christ as the Living God.

The fullfillment of those messianic prophesies are called the "preconfigurations".

This is why Paul (a jew and a highly educated pharaisee who formaly persucuted Christians as Jewish heritics) wrote letters to both the Jews and the Gentiles.

Silly child, the Bible denies all of that.

Jesus was a man. To call him a god is an abomination. Tow'evah, too, so just like homosexual relations with a qadesh (male temple prostitute). The Bible prohibits followers of the God of the Bible from believing in more than the one God taught by Moses to the children of Israel.

There are no prophecies saying that the Messiah will be rejected. Isaiah 53 is not Messianic prophecy, especially since Isaiah clearly identified the children of Israel as the Servant.

The Gentiles have no need of your salvation. We are without sin. Sin lies in the failure to follow the Laws of Moses, but those laws only apply to the children of Israel.

14th Amendment.....

Can you show me specifically where same sex is mentioned:
"AMENDMENT XIV
Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.

Note: Article I, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of the 14th amendment.

Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2.
Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,* and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

Section 3.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4.
The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5.
The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."

You've got some serious ignorance issues going on there. No, "most" Jews never converted. Rather, they have consistantly rejected Jesus. That is what happens when you know what the Bible actually says: you reject Jesus as anything other than an itinerant preacher teaching Jewish revivalism in the hope that the Messiah of prophecy would soon be coming.

And Jesus FAILED more of the real prophecies than he managed to fulfill. The only ones that he DID manage to fulfill were the low hanging fruit that THOUSANDS of male Jews have fulfilled over the years. Jesus utterly failed on all of the important ones, like peace, prosperity, return of the Lost Tribes...

NORMAL people can change in front of someone without thinking it's sex act. David and Jonathan were close friends, like brothers. Only a complete disgusting filthy pervert would read more into those verses than what is written.

This is true, Romans Road, and you have read a lot into it.

It's an obvious love story, no sex is involved in this story anymore than is written in most love stories.

But you are so consumed with hate you glossed over the Love part just like you do when you try to justify reasons to deny same sex marriage to people who love each other.
