I haven’t read much of the thread but the Pharisees used the law to empower themselves and not to honor God. This is the same thing that homosexuals are trying to do, use the force of the law and become a protected group over others and tell God and His people to shut up.
“I haven’t read much of the thread but the Pharisees used the law to empower themselves and not to honor God.”
My point exactly. Unless a Federal Amendment is made, the Federal Government has no say in the issue that poster brought up. It doesn’t matter what side a person says they are on, if they are trying to empower themself over another. States issue marriage licenses, not the Federal Government. Pushing to get the Federal Government to make laws it IS NOT empowered to do, in the name of “godliness” is not godliness at all. Our Constitution was divinely inspired, and is able to be amended in a prescribed way. Circumventing the Constitution in order to get one’s way, is both hypocritical and Pharisiacal in ever facet. Propose a national amendment, get 3/4 of STATE legislatures to ratify it, and there’s a basis for the federal government to be in the equation.
