I agree and appreciate what you write, but want to add to one of your paragraphs:
Tammy Jo: I do not agree with abortion or gay marriage, but I do not believe that what should certainly be issues during election time should end up being the ONLY issues upon which Christians vote."
I don't agree with abortion either, but I don't want to have abortion illegal again. Making
it illegal won't prevent abortions, and we will return to the unmedical procedures done in back streets and alleys. We should work to help limit any abortion. We have all heard of the stories of abortion horrors when it was illegal.
Gay Marriage? Why not, we have gay people, and why deny gay couples what we want?
Scripture is full of images of marriage between God and Israel, Christ and Church and relationships other than male and female. If not marriage, then let us call it legal union or civil unions with the same benefits as marriage. We are progressive! We need to include not exclude.
