If you haven’t noticed, today is April 1st. But the scary thing is, the stuff written above could be true! It’s an April Fools joke, but the real joke is the idea of “gay marriage,” and the fools are those who buy into it. That’s what the Bible calls them—fools: “Claiming to be wise, they became fools. . . . For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another. . .” (Rom. 1:22, 26-27).

Adam and Steve, you’ll just have to find somebody else to do your wedding.

I’m evolving.

This may be an April first joke, but same sex marriage is NOT. I don’t find this funny at all.

Got to love the new mass weddings:

Jim and Julie.
Frank and Fred.
Mulhameed and Sasha, Sally, Linda, Janet and her 12 year old daughter Mary.
George and his dead cousin’s body.
Frank and his pet duck.
Mike and his inflatable girlfriend, “Violet”.

The difference between a heterosexual marriage and a homosexual marriage is that even though both couples may have been shacking up before the date, the homosexual couple will continue to be living in sin.

You got me Charles! :)

[luvie]

Maybe even REvolving! LOL!

Steven and his partner Adam have been in a loving, committed relationship for over three months now

Just thought I would highlight that part, for no good reason.

Even on days other than April 1st, I know of no state that forbids gays to marry. There is no sexual orientation test on any marriage license application, and I’m pretty sure that no state still has a marriage consummation provision on the books anymore. God might have some issues with people joining in falsehood, but I’ll leave that for Him to sort out.

I do take issue with people trying to change the definition of marriage away from ‘the union of one man and one woman in matrimony.’

You about gave me a stroke, Charles!

I plumb forgot it's April Fools day. Time flies when you're having fun here in frigid Florida.

Steven and his partner Adam have been in a loving, committed relationship for over three months now,

When Adam and Steve first met; at the truck stop on route 99, they knew they were meant to be. Steve was in stall 5, and Adam in stall 6, Steve casually dropped one square of toilet paper, Adam responded and instantly they knew where they were headed...

So Adam and Steve decided to quit stalling and get married.

Hey, you hooked me! At least well into the second paragraph. And I had my radar out looking for April Fools Day gags.

Good one.

[MEG33]

You almost had me there for a moment..
;o)
Happy April Fool’s Day

I know you well enough (on the internet, anway) to have immediately detected an April Fools joke.

Sad thing is, Charles, how long before you are forced by our government or your denomination to do that very thing?

My denomination, the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), would definitely not force me to perform gay marriages. Quite the opposite! Our guys would be among those thrown in jail for refusing to do them!

Mike and his inflatable girlfriend, “Violet”.

And don't forget... "Pvt. Pyle" and his rifle, "Charlene."

[Not A Snowbird]

That’s good to hear.

Too many churches are caving to what they perceive public opinion to be. They’ve forgotten that God’s truth is not subject to the whims of society.
