Pah said:Favoritism exists in Christianity. Discuss that and discuss ramifications of James to the "breaker of law"
You are absolutely correct. Christianity favors God. Therefore if God does not condone homosexual marriage as a religious observance, then it will not be considered a religious observance. There are no ramifications from James if you understand those verses in this context.
There is no religious observance of having a rich man sit at your side and a poor man at your feet. Therefore James is correct in stating that we should not play favorites in this way. There IS a religious observance called marriage wherein two individuals of opposite sex are united. Therefore we should not recognize rights for a marriage that is not legitimate in the first place. At least not as far as we concern marriage in it's religious aspect. Otherwise in modern times marriage is simply a legal agreement. On that basis you are better off.
