The Supreme Court is going to once again review the issue of homosexual marriage. Last time around the Court punted on ruling whether states had the Constitutional right to outlaw such “marriages.” This time around they won’t be punting. Odds are by the end of June the Supreme Court will dictate to the country that sodomites have the legal right to marry. Our nation will finally have stooped to the point where we’re no better than Sodom and Gomorrah. Marriage was ordained by God in the Garden of Eden, it has lasted since that time as an institution involving one man and one woman. The progressive elites in this country want to toss aside God’s ordination and nature in order to allow sexual deviants to marry. Our Supreme Court will go right along with them.
There is nothing normal about homosexual relations. Deep down, the people calling themselves homosexuals know this. Men engaging in anal sex with one another know that what they’re engaging in isn’t natural and it isn’t normal. Those advocating for acceptance of that which is not normal or natural really don’t care about homosexuals in the least. Their only goal is overthrowing the historic Christian order in the west. They’ve been wildly successful at this. Even the 60’s hippies found homosexuals perverse and appalling. As recently as a decade ago the overwhelming majority of Americans opposed homosexual marriage. As our nation continues its moral decay, today a healthy majority support homosexual marriage. Among the young, the numbers are overwhelming. These are people who have spent their whole lives being told of the virtues of homosexuals in government schools and the media.
We Christian conservatives are rightly appalled at the notion that homosexual marriage is going to be the law of the land. We should hardly be surprised though. The religious right has for decades been fooling itself about the founding of this country and its Christian roots. Yes, up until a century ago the people of this nation generally followed Christian morality. However the Constitution from its creation abandoned God. We are the first western nation in history to create a government absent God. The Constitution’s first line declares that power to govern comes from the people rather than from God. There is a direct line from the abandonment of God in the Constitution to homosexual marriage today. The rank and file people of this country didn’t abandon God overnight but after two centuries of godless government, a godlessness that has been increasingly strident in the last 50-60 years, we’ve come to the point of complete abandonment.
Christians abandoned God when we tolerated a Constitution devoid of any mention of him, to say nothing of not covenanting with him. Since our nations founding one by one major institutions have turned from God. Harvard used to be a Christian seminary, now it pumps out pseudo-intellectual nonsense. Princeton was also once a great Christian seminary, today it hands out A’s to people like Michelle Obama who whined about being black in her senior thesis. The YMCA once was a Christian missionary organization, reaching out to the poor. Today it’s a gym with no connection whatsoever to the Christian faith. If we go back to the founding of this country, work on the Sabbath (Sunday) was outlawed and even if it wasn’t outlawed it was viewed as a desecration of the Lord’s Day. Today, even Christians defend going shopping, going to restaurants or working on Sunday. The abandonment of God by the people in this country has been gradual and it can be seen in much more than big issues like abortion and homosexual marriage.
Christians need to stop kidding themselves about what this nation is and what it represents. We need to stop pretending like this was always a great Christian nation, a shining city on a hill. In reality, our government abandoned God in the Constitution. The result of that has been a gradual shift from the Church and Godly morality to the cesspool of godlessness that we are faced with today. This is so even within Christian churches, many of whom have adopted progressive theology. (I’ll leave whether these are still Christian churches for another post) If we want this nation to return to the Christian faith we must obviously pray for a revival in this country. From there we must replace “we the people” with “Christ is King.” If we think it can’t get any worse than homosexual marriage, make no mistake the progressives will come up with something. Their end goals are very clear, they’re even out in the open about them. How they achieve those goals remains to be seen of course. For Christians, we need to look to scripture rather than the Constitution. We need to look to God’s word and how that word has been interpreted not by the recent church but by the historic church. It’s clear the recent church has shifted along with the nation, we must reject that and return to historic protestant and early church theology and doctrine. Until we in the church do that, we can expect the country to move further into a moral cesspool.
Abortion should have been a state issue. Given the controversy that still surrounds abortion, let's hope the USSC gets this one right.
Obviously the Constitution’s declaration that “we the people” form the government (rather than God, which had always been the case previously) is an example of the people leaving God. The Constitution itself is only a written document that reflects the beliefs of the people who voted for it. As a founding document though, it’s what people today look back at not the people behind it.
If the government funds education vouchers then the government can dictate what sort of education may be received with their money. I would rather the state have no say in education whatsoever.
Why not civil unions?.... = gives the deviates all the “rights” they wanted.....
-— oops = but civil unions don’t destroy our society enough for the democraps, huh?
I understand the sentiment, but politically it isn't on the menu.
“It is the state telling you that 2+2=5”
I think you nailed it vv. truth. The real problem then is corruption.
There will always be, in any state, those who adamantly believe that 2+2=5, and there is very little to be done to dissuade them of it. The real problem are those who know that 2+2 does not equal 5, but see personal political or financial advantage to agreeing that it does.
Many Kings, some of whom were the most abhorrent people to grace the face of the earth, were given great coronations in the name of God! Did that make their Kingdom’s Godly?
The Bible is just a book, until we the people put the Word, within, into action. I look at the U. S. Constitution in the exact same manner.
Putting the word “God” on, or in, something doesn’t make it Godly. You obviously think differently.
I’m 99% certain they will. They will look for any excuse to do this. It would take phenomenal courage, which clearly most on this court don’t have, to not allow it.
BP?
In any problem you must start at the beginning.. you must set your foundational premise.. a point of reference...your must seek a fundamental universal truth to start from
But you first must acknowledge there is such a thing as the truth and discoverable......
As in “we hold these truths to be self-evident”..originally it was written as “we hold these truths as sacred”... religion or reason ... truth is God..or God is truth.. I believe they must be the same...
my argument for atheist that contend they are rational ....then they must have truth and from it reason as their God
I agree that simply slapping God onto the Constitution does not make this a Godly nation. Britain still recognizes God, Scotland still claims to adhere to the Westminster Confession but obviously this alone doesn’t make them Godly nations. In fact their actions suggest otherwise.
However what the Constitution does is explicitly say this is not a Godly country. The very first line makes that plain when the founders decided that government was ordained by “we the people” rather than God.
To me this is a classic states rights issue. We don’t want it in GA we don’t care what NY does. But the SCOTUS has become as corrupt and the rest of the US govt so count on them to force this on all 57 states.
If the SCOTUS decides that gay marriage is a Constitutional right, polygamy will soon be legalized and laws against incest will also be struck down.
Which it has no constitutional power to do. Not that it has stopped this federal government before.
The government just needs fire-’power’ to do it and they got plenty of that.
Let's see if even one state defies the order.
“We the people” by its very nature excludes God from government. After all, by saying “we the people” the Constitution tells everyone that governments and power do not come from God but from the people. That ought to be news to Christians, it certainly was in the 18th century.
probably not.
Has any state defied a federal court over this yet?
If sodomy isn’t illegal and if sodomites can marry, there’s no logical reason to prohibit polygamy, bestiality, incestuous relationships and marriages and so on. Make no mistake, the left is already on a crusade to lower the age of consent. The rest of this is on their radar as well.
the vast majority of states have had votes on the subject and homo marriage was rejected overwhelmingly.
in florida, we passed a state constitutionally against it... and a single federal judge is trying to over thrown and ignore the will of people
