See C.S. Lewis' essay "The poison of subjectivism".

Scripture, not human behavior, is the standard by which morality is measured.

God has made it quite clear in His Word that marriage is between a man and a woman. He also made it clear that homosexuality is an abomination.

It's much simpler than you insist on making it...

Sola Scriptura.

Ah, "sola scriptura" is it? You're quoting Luther ... a fellow who felt himself equal to editing the Word?

Look ... no offense, but I don't have time to waste with bibliolators who claim a literal obedience to Scripture save for the part where Christ himself said: This IS my body, this IS my blood. DO THIS in memory of me.

If you wish to talk about what constitutes a Christian marriage ... all well and good. I'm sure we're in agreement ... save for the part where we keep it to a reasonable number of children, each perfectly Planned with an assist from CONTRA-ceptives.

But where we're speaking of Civil Marriage ... I refuse to pretend that sanction by the same State which sanctions abortion, birth control, for-profit childsex porn as "Free Speech" and a host of other atrocities somehow confers legitimacy on a union.

At this point, Christians would be better off to abandon civil unions entirely and found their authority STRICTLY and solely in a Christian construct ... not some egalitarian horror show which indeed has deconstructed heterosexual marriage such that homosexuals could claim "equality".
