I admit I have no strong feelings about this topic. ‘Gay marriage’ poses no threat to my marriage. But I do have a question to ask of those who are crusading for ‘gay marriage.’ When ‘civil unions’ give you all the benefits of marriage, why do you insist on ‘marriage?’ Is there a logical reason? Or is it that you continue to seek heterosexual approval, even if it has to be in the legislature or in the courts?
Sodomy was originally the practice of homosexual prostitution in the Temple, and which allowance set the moral standard for the nation. Thus mere sanction by the State is not sufficient for the demonic spirits behind homosexuality, rather as the devil seeks to insult God and to defile that which is or was God’s, so universal sanction of homosexuality - which itself is an insult to the Creator - by churches - most preferably evangelicals ones - is the goal.
(Rev 18:2) “And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”
I hate to repost what I just said, but you made a great point. Why do they insist on this? Because it isn’t about civil rights. It isn’t about being discriminated against. It is about trying to force the rest of the world to think and feel the exact way they do. This is a sort of immoral inquistition, isn’t it?
I say again:
Homosexual marriage is not about the freedom for some to live as they want—because they are now free to do that-—but it is about forcing an ideology on people who do not want it.
Is is about the government forcing people to live AGAINST their consciences!
It is a matter of taking away the rights of the majority of people, to secure a privilege for a small minority of people, who can secure that their partnership by other means.
It is a matter of destroying the right of religions——not just Christianity by the way-—to teach morality in the way they see fit-—the right of freedom of speech, for people to speak out on issues they hold dear to their hearts-—and Parental rights-—the right to raise your children to share your own morals and values.
It is a matter of taking away the freedom of Americans to think, feel and define their own morality, and define their own communities, their own government; ON the grounds that the GOVERNMENT will now define the doctrines and precepts of religious organizations.
Homosexual marriage gives the government the right to intrude their powers in the area of anciently held and practiced religious doctrines—and to restrain these doctrines, destroys all religious liberty!
