them? For example, when you lobby to make a law that prohibits same sex marriage, aren't you judging them? Didn't Jesus say something about judgment in Matthew 7:1?

Some of the strongest lobbies I know are gay rights lobbiest. This is not a religion to use it is a right of all people (even christians) judging is not stating a belief.

God didn't say that man and man should be together or woman and woman should be together in the bible now did he. So how can those people who are lobbying be passing judgment if their doing God's will.

So I guess with your insight, thieves and murderers should
not have had laws to restrict them, or prisons?
They are a specific group in society.
Kind of a dumb it down question, no?

YES. It is judgement. They like to try to say that they're not casting judgement but it's an illogical claim. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

There is a difference between what is right, and what is wrong.
Jesus also gave his apostles the power to either forgive sins or not to forgive sins, and that judgement would be respected in Heaven.

Of course it's judgemental. It's wrong to me (or my religion) therefore YOU can't do it. How does that make any sense?
People need to realize that ALL Americans were granted equal rights, not just the majority.

Actually, I believe that these people are attempting to get back to a time when GOD's WORD meant something. After all, GOD initiated marriage to be between man and woman. HE created the woman so that man would have a help-mate. We are supposed to follow our government in all areas. Doesn't this mean that we are allowed to take part in the governmental process? I believe so. Have fun reading these answers. It sounds to me like you are at least partly knowledgable on GOD's HOLY WORD. Maybe you should be studying with a group of Non-denominational Christians in your area.
To become a real Christian, we are told that we must HEAR the WORD in John 6:45, Jesus said, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught by God. Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” We are also told so in Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We are told the we must BELIEVE in Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We are also told so in Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” and in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. We are told that we must REPENT (or turn from sin) in Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish. Also in Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST in Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We are also told in 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. We are to be BAPTIZED according to Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” and Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. We are to CONTINUE to be FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH according to Revelation 2:10c Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. We also know that Paul wrote in Romans 14:12 each of us shall give account of himself to God. It is important that we not ignore what is written, change what is written, or add to what is written in the New Testament which is our Christian Guide. Have a great week.
