You said:
The same way with marriage. If marriage is an institution ordained by God to make one man and one woman into one flesh, then there is no possible rationale for abortion.
I think you meant “there is no rationale for same sex marriage”?
Just checking. Great points. The “moderate” crap is just leftist creep. At best it means someone who has no moral compass but goes with the flow, checks which way the wind is blowing, whose viewpoitns are based on whimsy or digestion or polls, etc.
little jeremiah,
You are correct.
If marriage is an institution ordained by God to make one man and one woman into one flesh, then there is no possible rationale for same-sex marriage.
Marriage is either a sacred institution or it is not. If it isn’t, then change it any way you want, and there is really no point bothering to get married. And so much for the anchor of Western civilization.
Because we could do an even better job destroying ourselves than we’re already doing, after all.
Evolution has a competing model: wham, bam, thank you ma’am. Men should have as much sex with as many females as possible, in order to leave behind the most offspring and thus become “the fittest.” Rape is fine on this view. Marriage is utterly useless.
Of course, even on the model of evolution, homosexuality is a biological dead end, with homosexuals being defined as “biologically unfit.”
Let’s look at what God intended, by contrast:
He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them “man.” – Genesis 5:2
The words of Jesus: “But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE” (Mark 10:6).
Romans 1:24-28:
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.
God created humankind male and female. When God ordained marriage, He ordained it between a man and a woman. And He ordained it so because the union of a man, a woman, and the resulting child/children most fully expressed His divine nature which He created us in.
“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” - Genesis 1:27
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh” – Genesis 2:24
Any other sexual union abandons God’s created order and is the result of a depraved mind.
