		<description>I was given the task of giving a sermon at a dedication ceremony. I was researching on children as God&#039;s heritage and found this article.

It tremendously blessed me and helped me. Thanks</description>

		<title>Comment on Marriage Can Not be Redefined by Brett Clements</title>

		<description>I agree, we are not responsible for the souls of others. However we (as Christians) are vessels for Gods work, and therefore responsible to God in our efforts toward souls. 
As for the businessman offering marriage benefits to same sex couples out of Christian benevolance I must differ in opinion. The Christian should be willing to extend a benevolent hand to those in need. He should never compromise His Christian stance against sin. To offer the benefit as a marriage benefit agian is completely wrong. To go against truth in the guise of benevolance does not work. The scripture gives us proper chanels to do good works even to those who are &quot;lost&quot;. Going against the scriptures is never the proper chanel. Again I respect your opinion, and thank you for engaging the issue with honesty.

		<description>No, Brett, Christians are very much not wrong for voicing their opinions. Since I&#039;m Pagan it may shock you, but I&#039;ll gladly shed my blood to ensure that you always have the right to voice your opinion and be at least listened to. ;)

I&#039;ve said ti before but I&#039;ll say it again - the government can decide who grant certain legal rights and responsibilities to - but they can&#039;t really have any say in the sacrament of marriage.

As for any so-called Christian businessman who has a problem with granting spousal rights to a gay couple, I would respond with &lt;i&gt;render unto Caesar what is Caesars.&lt;/i&gt; I would also suggest to them that Christian charity demands that they bear that price even though they despise the action. 

Neither Christians nor myself are forever bound to this Earth and its laws. We each will eventually answer to a final and higher judgment.  I&#039;m not entirely sure about the Christians, but I know my Gods require ME to live as they demand, which includes not allowing mortal distractions to consume me. I am NOT responsible for the souls of others and to act as if I am is hubris.</description>
