I can live with that.
Slavery is clearly wrong. However, Christians do live under the New Testament, not the Old Testament.
Christians also live under the US Constitution and its laws.
Quote:My understanding is that Christians live under the New Testament( not OT law). A good summary is in the following.
Quote:
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” ( MT 22:37-40 ESV)
How does this prohibit gay marriage, then? It would seem that if two people love each other, that is in accord with the commandment.
