It has been clear throughout scriptures that unborn lives matter and that murder is wrong due to people being created in the image of God
I get not hating lgbtq+ people - such a thing is wrong (You shall love your neighbour as yourself) but “marrying” homosexuals is not what this means…
Racism and misogyny is of course wrong as well, people are created in the image of God.
In my denomination/Church, we don’t permit these things for good reason. Because the Bible is the final authority. In fact, the Bible will always oppose popular society trends. If the Bible doesn’t offend you, you’re reading it wrong. That’s because of our sinful nature. So the Bible is anti racist and would have offended racists, same with greed, and then the cultural norms of today. It calls us to repent and convicts us of our sin. But at the same time, it’s not typically a Christian’s business what a non Christian does either (1 Corinthians 5:12-13) (Hence I have no issue with same-sex unions being legal on a civil/legal level)
okay that’s a bit far

Let’s agree to disagree.
