A Quote from Stand to Reason Radio
It shouldn't turn out to be God's plan for my life, it should rather be my life for God's plan. (Interviewing Michael Horton, Author of "Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church")

Love All vs Same Rights
How is it that Christians who claim to "love all" would have a crusade to keep people from having the same rights as everyone else?
(question response)
The belief that Christians should “Love All” is usually taken out of context. The Bible teaches to love all people, not love all ideas and beliefs. 1 Corinthians 13:6 “Love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth.” This shows that Christians are against unrighteousness, not people. A good question to asks would be “why was a truly perfect all loving Son of God crucified?" He was executed for standing up for righteousness and for Truth, including Paul and Peter. If Jesus, "loved all" in the way your friend defines love, that Jesus would not have found Himself on the cross.
That’s why it’s important to read and teach the whole Bible and not just the verses with the word love in it. If people really want to know what Christianity is, I suggest to them reading the Book of Acts. They’ll soon find out the word love is not mention once in the Book of Acts. The early Church had the correct understanding of sharing the Gospel, not like today. The message wasn’t God is love and good tasting, try Him you’ll like Him, look at all the wonderful things He’ll do in your life. The message isn't God is good tasting the message is, you are dying, and the solution is Jesus. The core message is “sin", and the answer to sin.
My response to “same rights” is what do they mean by same rights? Because Family Code § 297.5 states that domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections, and benefits as married couples. So what right we are talking about here? Is it the right for the government to recognize civil unions as a marriage? My argument is that the government doesn't recognize certain marriages and has laws against polygamy, marriages of underage teens and children, pedophile base marriages and of course same sex marriages. So if people want the government to redefine the word marriage to two people in love with each other, than all of these are permissible too.
