Gay marriage isn’t a human right, says European Court
The European Court of Human Rights has reiterated its ruling that same-sex marriage is not a human right that can be found within the Convention.
The Court made the ruling in 2010 but reiterated its decision last week in a separate case involving a lesbian couple from France.
The Strasbourg-based Court’s original decision on same-sex marriage came after a homosexual couple asked the Court to reinterpret Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

You would have an unbeliever indwelt before faith, but..
1) The indwelt IS saved. It cannot be otherwise. There is no further work to be done as regards conversion if the sinner has the incorruptible seed planted.
2) That which is incorruptible cannot die, therefore the pardoned sinner HAS eternal life at indwelling:
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.
3) The earnest of our inheritance is not given to unbelievers:
Ephesians 1:13 "In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise"
4) Justification is by faith, (Rom3:28; Gal3:24; Rom5:1; Acts 13:39) therefore follows it.
Your view necessitates justification, judicial pardon, prior to faith, but the Spirit does not indwell the unpardoned.

I didn't realise that all homosexuals and lesbians were making a case for human rights from the Bible
So thanks for the news
Allan, please give up on SA and go bolster the dupes who like you are members of the Whore!
