Certainly a valid question for any Christian. Enough Gospel verses detail Jesus’ explanation that the pro-divorce verses in the Torah were composed by Moses due to the hardness of the Israelites’ hearts on the subject—and even in the face of Korah’s punishment, the illness from the quails and the “fiery serpent” plague among other things, they still were unrepentant on many things.
Why aren’t we working to end divorce?
Divorce is the mote in our eye, when we are talking about a splinter in theirs.
I just get the feeling that half of the gay’s interest in marriage is just a means to piss us off. If we wouldn’t react, most of them would just go away.
This fight was lost, not in the courts, but on TV, and movies and the radio. Gay has gotten so accepted by most Americans, particularly the youngsters, that the day will come when the only reason this will be discussed will be when MSM interviewers try to get GOP candidates caught in gotcha questions, like they did to Santorum with the birth control questions last election cycle.
Lots of “Christians” really don’t care about marriage when it comes to divorce. They would rather preserve their convenience to indulge in serial monogamy rather than really defend the institution.
I think the difference lies in what will be required if sodomite marriage is made legal throughout the country.
Right now pastors do preach against the sin of divorce and there are many ministries devoted to helping couples stay married. No one seeking a divorce is attempting to makes those things illegal as a form of hate speech.
Neither are pastors required to publicly bless and agree that God says one’s divorce is not a sin.
Contrast that with the demands of gay marriage. It is hate speech to preach against it, conversion therapy has been made illegal in several states, and if gay marriage is legal no pastor will legally be able to refuse to officiate or have a gay wedding in their church.
