The marriage one is an interesting debate. Certain well known churches in New Zealand bang on about how marriage is Gods ideal, and how thats what everyone should be doing. However there is no precedent for the western concept of marriage, anywhere in the bible. No where does it say that a man and woman who love each other must get a license, have a ceremony, swap rings. So this being the case, how do we define what matrimony is, using a biblical standard, how do we define matrimony, and if matrimony is possible something apart from vows, licence, etc then how do we as christians define what is fornication. I mean adultery is easy enough thats when two people do it, and one or perhaps both of them are married to different people.....

As for the gay debate. We get so caught up in reminding gays that they are siners and beyond redemption, that we forget they are people who are also loved by God and whom He sent his son to die for.
