This takes up back a few centuries actually, and the last time I checked most of us don't speak Greek or like it up the ***. Those churches that endorse gay marriages should be closed and the ordainment of openly gay men or women, although it sounds warm and fuzzy isn't exactly according to Gospel either.
A new light? Sounds like we have gone down a degenerate path that endorses the philosophy of "if it feels good, it must be right" also the last time I checked the lastest Genetics journals, no one has conclusively proven the being gay is nothing more than a personal choice and has nothing at all to do with your DNA. If it were like racism, then this would be akin to African-Americans suddenly declaring themselves Swedish and losing their tan.

First, I see no reason why man couldn't have evolved after the initial creation. One really doesn't have replace the other. Then, as far as receiving a new light fro God, one could only hope. As being someone that believes that our Creator doesn't make mistakes, and that only the Creator is able to create beings on this level, we are all equal and possess the same potential as everyone else. We then live our lives to fulfill our potential the best way we know how with what we have. Hopefully, we learn and love to do this. Who we love, as long as it's with respect and honesty, is irrelevant (although I do believe in keeping sexual relations within the bounds of the same species). Hope I addressed your question satisfactorily.

These churches have not received a "new" light from God. They're following the "true" light from God. It is "you" that has been following the false prophets!
You believe God didn't want women to preach. On the contrary, God CHOSE a WOMAN to be the FIRST to spread the Word of The Good News!!!
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you." Matthew 28:5-7.

Women preached the gospel in the Bible...you just don't see it in the Bible because simple & single-minded men (re and re and re and re...) wrote it!
Gay marriages is a one-way ticket to the futher declination of society as it is today. Gay unions, okay this is better. The gay marriage thing is so that the partner can recieve the same benefits as one would if they were the spouse in a heterosexual marriage...it has very little to do with being joined together.
Look, show me a fully true and innocent man...meaning, we all are sinners, and the biggest ones of them all are those in church. At least you know the sins of the one leading you versus finding out from some hideous news breaking story on your local news broadcast about something that the minister did. "...and he was such a great leader of the faith: we'd never expect him to do something like this!"
Science says we evolved, spiritual text says that we were created. What difference does it make? WE'RE HERE!!! Deal with how we're living our today and let your belief be yours.

Nope, they are going after the teaching of man not God. God cannot change his word or he would not be God. He can however fulfill his word and give higher laws as he done with the Birth and Death of Jesus. He did not make any of his sins change just the way we sacrifice and repent of those sins. He also told in the old testament how he would bring a savior into the world to change those laws. Just as he has told us through the Prophets and the Bible that upon his return to rule this earth things will once again change.

"Women as head of the flocks" should not be included in that scenerio. Man may have changed but God does not. He is God, He changeth not. He is the same yesterday, today and forever more. May God Bless U.

yes, they realize that God gave them a brain to think with, and that it is not man's place to tell Him what he's done right or wrong, or how he works.

things are definitely changing in our society.i have a difficult time accepting women pastors,to be honest.i believe that women have their place in the church.but not to have authority over a man.i believe a man should pastor a church.
as for gay/lesbian pastors,i don't think it's a good idea.and marrying gay/lesbian couples,i just don't feel comfortable with.
if they have their own church,where they do these things,and they don't try to push their agenda onto any of the mainstream conventional churches,i feel better about that.since the belief in christianity,is for a man and a woman to marry,and for homosexual/lesbian relationships to be avoided,i believe those kinds of things,should be separate from the mainstream churches.i'm not trying to condemn gay/lesbian people.but i do believe that for those of us who can't accept it,it shouldn't be forced on us,or endorsed in any of our local churches.
if people are gay,lesbian,and openly accept the lifestyle,and approve of gay marriage,then please,keep it separate from the rest of us.a gay minister can take care of his flock.but to try to change the dignity and integrity of the christian church,by accepting a lifestyle that the Bible forbids,that is just completely unjust.
these people have not received a new light from God.they're doing this,because society keeps telling us to be tolerant and non-judgmental towards these people.my line of reasoning is,God loves gay/lesbian people and we're supposed to love them,too.but we can't condone them coming into our churches,and trying to change the laws.if gay people want their own church,where they can permit certain things that a lot of people aren't comfortable with,then that's between them and God.but,please,do it in your own church.don't try to change the laws of our church.and try to get people to accept something,that we can't morally accept,much less tolerate,the more people keep telling us to.
we are to love all people,no matter who they are.but we're also supposed to ''speak the truth in love.''i don't condemn gay people.but since i believe their lifestyle is not honorable to God,i will speak out against it.if somebody's trying to bring people into the church,who openly live a lifestyle that the Bible forbids,i feel i should be honest.no,i'm not talking about gay people coming to church.everybody's welcome to come to church.i'm talking about ordaining gay/lesbian preachers,and marrying gay couples in the local churches.
our laws shouldn't have to change,because of tolerance.we should ''agree to disagree'',being that,our church must be separate from any church,where the laws are changed to suit what other people think is morally acceptable.

The Lord warned us against these " wolves in sheeps clothing" and said they were false prophets. Read revelations to find the fate of those who follow the false prophets ( hint: lake of fire)
