What’s the greater threat to marriage in America?
Homosexuality
Or
“Christians” getting divorced and committing adultery

What’s the greater threat to marriage in America? Homosexuality Or “Christians” getting divorced and committing adultery That is a good question. I would say both are very serious threats. But the homosexual "rights" movement is far more dangerous to the Church and ultimately marriage than cheating married people.

I believe the greatest threat to marriage in any nation is the refusal to repent and place one's Faith in Jesus Christ.
When repentance and faith in Jesus Christ are applied to DAILY, MOMENT BY MOMENT life, then all is at peace.
The reason people are homosexuals and adulterers is for one reason:
UNconverted.

Well, I do agree with you in principal. That the problem is that most of these people are unsaved. However..don't ever think that you or me or any other MAN could not find themselves in a place where we could stumble in our walk and that our salvation was based on that. Think of David.... Even most homosexuals that get saved stumble.

Put this kinda crap in the doctorine place where heathens aren't allowed.
There is no "threat" to marriage in america. Marriage between homosexuals has not caused any problems for the marriage system.
People will always get married, homo or hetero. Marriage never has nor ever will be threatened .

heterosexual marriage is a judeo-christian institution. you can keep it. i do not need a piece of paper or god's permission to be married.
my wife and i eloped to escape the trouble of planning a wedding, and having it performed in a church. ick! secondly, i think marriage gives you a minor tax break..and that's about it. there is no benefit to marriage other than another way to obtain order in society.
marriage is meaningless, after all, if you guys were true christians you would know that no piece of paper or priest stands between you, god, and the sanctity of marriage... ..as you call it.
this only goes to show that christians are filled with hate. they say they love the sinner, but hate the sin, but they want to step on 'heathens' heads rather than let them have equal rights.
marriage is another ritual that christians overlook and call "ok." yet, they condemn things like catholic rituals, i.e. confession, etc.
rituals, rituals, rituals...bound and determined to control us all.

Marriage is the union of ONE MAN and ONE WOMAN for LIFE. Not two guys (yuck) or two short hares (gross). When children begin to be raised outside the institution of marriage. Then society will break down and crumble. And it's already started to happen.

Like Ghandi?

Confession to a substitute god is not biblical. Marriage is.

The land looks quite healthy to me.
Hitler had the same sentimintality(sp?) as you. That's why they also burned homos in the fires at Auschwitz and Buchenwald.

The only threat to marriage is divorce.
Homosexuals are getting married all the time and it is NOT doing anything to society at all. Society sucks because people, straight or gay, suck. God made homosexuals just as he made heterosexuals. It would be a very very cruel God who would make people want to mate with the same sex, but then tell them they can't. This was something that used to trouble me about homosexuality. If God thinks it is wrong, WHY does he cause it to happen? It isn't the work of Satan because homosexuality is hereditary and/or the cause of environmental factors. That...is pretty awful of God, if he were to actually be against homosexuality. Which he isn't. The people who re-wrote the Bible were.

Homosexuality Or “Christians” getting divorced and committing adultery ...And you'd think with all the felt-needs marriage sermons being preached there'd be a lower divorce rate...But more than not these aren't actual Christians getting divorced, they're false converts who just couldn't put one of Mr. Osteen's lessons into practice...huh...I wonder why? Homosexuality is definitly a threat to our nation and it's direction, but it's not as bad as luke warm carnal Christians acting like the world, talking about heaven but acting like hell.

Okay, lemme try this:
HOW is it a threat? In countries where it is legal the marriage rate is doing fine for heteros. So how is it a threat to the country? Do you have any proof? Or are you just spouting twisted Bible verses and lies given to you from homphobes?

Since Jesus wanted His Church to be hot or cold, not lukewarm (Rev 3:16), and since no one expect to see non-Christians acting up to the expectation that Christians have, I think the hypocrisy and backsliding in the church (lukewarm) is much worse than the attack from homosexuals. Since the Church for the most part has not respected the institution of marriage, why should we have the right to make them respect it.
I say this to the shame of the Christian Church which I am part of. It is no wonder the world thinks so poorly of us, much of their attacks are "self inflicted" due to our sin.
Maybe if we Christians would put our marriages where our mouths are, and love and respect our spouses and honor God in the family, others would see that marriage is a holy union between a man, wife, and their Lord. May God forgive us for our terrible example to a world who needs to see the power of God at work in His Church.

Not everyone is Christian though. Not all marriages are held through Christian churches. This country is not Christian, but rather lets everyone believe as they wish.

Homosexuality is a far greater threat to our nation and marriage because satan is using homosexuality as the means to silence the Church. As far as luke warm Christians go. Yes many are not saved and we covered that and many who profess to follow the law are not saved either. I think I have learned no to attack doctrine, so to say. Rather, simply preach Christ crucified.

If anyone takes the time to read the writings of the Founding Father of this Nation, it is very clear they founded its law and statutes on Biblical Principles, and even honored the Lord in how they dated documents "In the year of the Lord......" To suggest otherwise only reveals that the person have never really studied the founders writings and have believed the revised textbooks and media that have removed references to God.
Marriages especially in this Nation, were done by clergy in churches, even though many today just go to a Justice of the Peace.

Rob Said: Societies who give in to lasciviousness do not prosper.
Then why is America what it is today?
The USA has been a cesspot of filth for DECADES!
God sometimes allows prosperity to DELUDE the people as they have refused to repent.
It's far too cliche to say, "if you sin, you won't prosper!".
Not so.
Look at:
Bill gates.
Oprah Winfrey.
Benny Hinn (Hindrance).
Kenneth Copeland.
Morris Cerullo.
Rod Parsley.
Etc Etc
