We do not have permission to be more generous than what God has allowed. He has permitted divorce, under certain limited circumstances. But He has done nothing that suggests we should cooperate with perversion. If a man and a goat wanted a marriage licence, and had the backing of the Supreme Court, what then? Where is our red line?

RE: But He has done nothing that suggests we should cooperate with perversion.
The basic question is this — What is America today, is it a Christian nation? Or is it not?
If it is not, then what should Christians do if the majority of Americans allow same-sex marriage?
Some possible answers:
1) Tolerate it ( as in, cater for it in law for those who are homosexuals ) as long as it does not conflict with our faith.
2) Not tolerate it at all.
The problem with choice #1 is what you are seeing today as in the case of Kim Davis of Kentucky.
Christians will tolerate gay marriage but are NOT ALLOWED to NOT participate in their ceremonies. We are now learning that tolerance does NOT go both ways in this country.
So, the fact that we are where we are means we have to fight WITHIN the SYSTEM for our basic rights to free association, and this is where my proposal — a sort of religious right protection legislation — comes it.
The problem with #2 is this -— the way society is heading, gay marriage WILL STILL be eventually passed.
So, either way, the result will be the same (Unless God Himself miraculously acts with fire and brimstone ).
