If you are using religion for success you aren’t really a Christian
It’s mostly an enforcement issue….like gun laws. It doesn’t matter how many laws we have if those laws aren’t unilaterally enforced.Churches have to follow the laws of this nation
So should corporations
We do police churches
You can’t sacrifice or use illicit drugs in your religion
The government has an obligation to force churches to follow the laws
The church has no power to police government
Only the individual can do that
And only if they have the right to vote or can bring a court case
Are you another Quincunx by any chance, pretending to be JPP's Christianity expert?I said Jesus didn't say a thing about homosexuality! Read the Gospels!
This has nothing to do with what I said, but this does intrigue me, so I'll comment on it.
The Vatican can

You are actually incorrect about this claim, on multiple fronts, as I will explain below:
(1) Jesus, while he was here on this Earth in human flesh, directly described God's design for marriage to the Pharisees, recorded in the book of Matthew: "Haven’t you read that from the beginning their Maker ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will be one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.” (Matthew 19:4-6, EHV)
From this passage, one can logically conclude from the usage of the words 'made them male and female... a man... united with his wife...' that homosexuality is not, and cannot be, marriage. Homosexuality is, rather, a bastardization of marriage as it was originally designed and purposed by God when he created Adam and Eve. IOW, homosexuality is sin.
(2) Not every single thought/word/action of Jesus is specifically recorded in The Bible. As the book of John concludes: "Jesus also did many other things. If every one of them were written down, I suppose the world itself would not have room for the books that would be written." (John 21:25, EHV)
(3) God is the author of The Bible (men are penman of The Bible), thus the whole Bible itself is really authored by God: "All Scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, well equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17, EHV)
So yes, Jesus actually DID say numerous things about homosexuality, and read not just the gospels, but the entire Bible, as all of it is "God-breathed", ultimately coming from God.
Let me know if you have any more questions about what The Bible says. I'd be happy to discuss it with you.

Already provided to you. You are now resorting to denying logic. Heterosexuality (man + woman, which is how Jesus described marriage) is not homosexuality (man + man, woman + woman).Chapter and verse where Jesus spoke directly about homosexuality! Not your spin

The cowardly North participated in that election as well.The cowardly South participated in the 1860 election.
Nope. They fully planned on continuing as States and continue to this day. You didn't learn much history, did you?When it didn't go their way they tried to quit!
They defended themselves quite nobly from the cowardly attacks against them from the North.So much for Southern honor!
Unfortunately for the States, the concept of State sovereignty became a cruel euphemism for tyranny.Luckily for the South! Sherman burned them back into the Union.
All the patriots were in the South. All the tyrants were fighting for the North. The South was fighting to uphold the Constitution while the North was abandoning their sworn oath to uphold and defend the Constitution and were fighting to abolish State sovereignty.There were no " southern patriots"
Look at the leftist illiterate who simply needs to call everyone else RACIST! at least 244 more times today to meet his daily quota.Look at the right wing idiot defend slavery
Please clarify which economic principles you would restrict and/or eliminate and in what way or to what extent.Capitalism works beautifully when properly fettered
I don't understand how a single man is the model for marriage.
