tif... your questioning is very much off base here. As PFiDC said, you're asking for something that never would have happened at the time of the marriage as the entire idea of same-sex weddings is a relatively new (historically speaking) event. I realize that you don't think it (the miracle) ever happened, but expecting them to be able to answer a hypothetical that never had any chance of occurring is really out there.

A church should absolutely be able to say no to performing or renting space for a gay wedding without any legal recourse.

But do you think Jesus himself would have refused to attend a same-sex wedding, and refused to turn water into wine for the married couple?

This is a pretty simple yes-no question.

I was unaware of the teachings on gay weddings in the 1st century anywhere in the Bible.

This of course assumes Jesus turned water-into-wine at every wedding he attended.

Are you trolling, or do you really not see the differences?

I want you to answer the question.

I think I'm done engaging with you in these threads. It's tiresome. It reminds me of trying to communicate with EPP and none of the benefits of EPP actually being helpful on some subjects. Enjoy your time here, but I'm done with you.

You take everything so personally.

Honest question: Does the bible mention him attending any other weddings? As a matter of course, we can certainly presume he did.

So apparently when the Rand Paul campaign site launched today, you could tag yourself on a map with a moniker like 'I endorsed Rand!' or something. All of the images they were using were from stock photo galleries.

In the grand scheme of things, it's sort of a non-story. But it's still highly derpy.

According to the Twitters that has changed.

Doesn't sound like he's taking it personally, it's that he doesn't get anything out of discussing issues with you.

Some people just don't like others with completely opposing views. Which is the case with him.

A business's goal is to make money. A non-profit, a charity, exists for other reasons. They may need money to operate, but profit is not their driving force.

Tif's question about the first miracle could as easily be summed up by saying "Would God still perform a miracle for a sinner?" Seeing as how Christianity says he died for our sins, that all mortals sin (including the hetero couple @ Cana) I think the answer is a resounding yes.

This is why we can't have nice things.

This belongs on the Religion thread and takes a bit of biblical knowledge (so I will link to the relevant passage), but do you think Jesus would have created wine out of water for the marriage of Herod?

Germany owes Greece 279 billion euros in compensation for war damage. At least that's what the Greeks say. The Germans say the claim is nonsense.

The issue of German war debt towards Greece has been raised many times before -- most recently in 2010 and 2012, when Greece was negotiating the terms of its 240 billion euros ($260 billion) international bailout package.

But this is the first time Athens has put an official number -- roughly $300 billion -- on World War II reparations.
