Update to an earlier post from a few years ago

I have found that the writings of St. Paul have given me great insight into the SSM issue in the Church.  My view has changed substantially on this issue over the years.  And, I was reading a post (from 2011 I believe) and realized that I would no longer be unable to attend a wedding service in a Church; don't tell them it's wrong to eat meat and don't eat meat in front of them if they think it's wrong.  I just thought I'd update this point of view.

The Bible has the Gospel, the law, the books of prophesy etc...  As far as the law is concerned, I view it the same way I view Canadian law, within the framework of a constitution--a supreme law. 

The Greatest Commandment

34 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” 37 He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”  
Matthew 22:34-40 (NRSV)
