Why is pre-marital sex ok...?

but being gay isn't?

Why do people like to pick and choose what to follow/believe in the Bible?

I know too many people who have pre-marital sex, who are greedy, who steal, lie, and are just awful people yet still call themselves Christians when asked how they feel about gay marriage and why it's "wrong". It's hypocrisy at its finest.

Update:

Um, no.

I'm referring to the people who think that gay marriage is wrong because the Bible said so, but have a ton of pre-marital sex with their boyfriends/girlfriends.

I actually support gay marriage.

    Religious beliefs are eventually always self-serving. When your god hates all the same people you do, that should be a hint.

  • Pre marital sex is not ok. And for a true Christian, that is something that is forbidden. 1Thess 4:3-8 says" This what God wills... that you abstain from fornication, that each one of you should know how to get possession of his own vessel in sanctification and honor not in covetous sexual appetite such as also those of the nations have which do not know God."Being a Christian means having the mind of Christ. So really for those that practice such sinful acts as stealing, being greedy, they are fulfilling bible prophecy. 2Tim 3:1-6 explains that such behavior is the sign of the end. In verse 13 of the same chapter the apostle Paul explains how wicked men and impostor (those who claim to be Christians) will advance from bad to worst, misleading and being misled. Please read your own bible and look up these scriptures. It will enlighten you. James 4:8 tells us "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you."

    Those people are being hypocritical, just like all of humanity is at times, including you and I; but the fact that they're doing something else wrong doesn't automatically make your pet issue right. The only valid issue is the legitimacy of the act, not who supports it and who opposes it.

    They're only hypocrites if they think their digressions aren't "wrong" but being gay is. If they recognize their own short falls, they're still bastards who skipped over the passage, "Judge not lest ye be judged.", but they aren't hypocrites.

    If you read the bible, God hates pre-marital sex. It's not acceptable. It's sin but unfortunately people in the church still sin. And also gay marriage is obviously wrong. Obviously a male organ can't have sex with a male organ. It's wrong

    they take the bible in the wrong context, i really don't get what's so difficult about letting people of the same sex have relationships, they are just selfish people who limit people of their happiness
