This could explain some of the homo-loving we've seen on our Michigan board.
I said a while back that the ultimate demise of marriage from a legal perspective will not be brought about by same-sex unions; it will happen when normal, decent people tell the state to "f#%& off" and refuse to obtain any legal recognition for their marriages.
A Roman Catholic does not get a state certificate when he is Baptized, does not get a state certificate when he receives Holy Communion for the first time, and doesn't get a state certificate on his Confirmation day. By that logic, he sure as hell doesn't need a state certificate to validate his marriage vows.
Putting government in charge of marriage continues to pay dividends. As with most things government controlled, this destruction has been predictable.
We stay silent because we see these people as beyond redemption anyway. We're not supposed to behave that way but there comes a time when Christians simply have to face reality.
Much as I'm opposed to gay "marriage," I've never seen this claim adequately defended (and it's usually not defended at all, but simply asserted).
I think the difficulty in fighting this is like fighting 'green snow'.
IOW, same-sex marriage isn't really marriage, just like green snow isn't snow.
How do you fight something that doesn't really exist?
He missed the third possibility, that marriage is an institution that was co-opted by the state as a form of taxation in about 1500 in England. It then lost it’s meaning between God and Man. Today marriage in some states like Florida is treated as one of the most voidable contracts there is. No business man in Florida would sign a contract with as little enforceability as the current Marriage contract.
It's simple. Get the state out of the marriage business, and problem solved.
talking out against gay marriages automatically makes someone a homophobe which makes them worse than hitler. this is what the Gaystapo wants normal citizens to believe anyway.
Gay marriage is a perversion of God's law. It creates nothing and destroys nothing.
Calling a donkey a horse doesn't hurt the horses. It just hurts those too stupid to see the difference.
Why bother? Only about 1% of the population is homosexual, less than 10% will get married. Very few homosexual marriages will stay together. So it is likely we will never see a homosexual married couple, except on TV.
I believe that Satan has lulled the church to sleep. We are very confortable in the knowledge of our salvation and feel no responsibility whatsoever do act on our faith.
Please see www.preparetoleave.com and click on Pearls. Because of His excruciating death for us, the fact that our salvation was bought at an extremely high price, should send us trembling. Our lack of action is SIN.
We must defend His honor. We must stand for Him. It is His heart that we must be concerned with. Pray to feel His burdens and then go forth fearlessly in His name and take the land back! Remember, the population of gays are also lulled into deception. Let them be drawn to Christ by our love.
We must work now while we can.
Let's not give up the fight is what he is saying and wants more fighting to go on. That not enough Christians have called their Congressman/woman with their thoughts.
What is not said and the way I think is that before anything else should happen is that the law breakers that are marring gays should be dealt with forthwith. These attorneys, mayors, judges and legislators who are breaking the law as it stands now not only with the marriage conflict but with other things as well, such as abortion, letting criminals go free and helping criminals escape the law and nothing is done to them is the biggest problem that the U.S. citizens have at the present time. It is right up there with terrorism. Not until the U.S. can bring down these ABOVE the law people will the U.S. be peaceful again. I have seen in the news and elsewhere if it is to be believed where legislators this year alone were in the news with criminal behavior more than all the years of my life put together. It has always been said that a house divided against itself can not stand and it is said as a country as well.
If the U.S. lets itself say that we are a country of laws then something has to be done with the ABOVE the law criminals. If these attorneys, mayors, judges and legislators are not prosecuted, it will only get worst and the U.S. as a free and just country will be nothing but a lie.
The USSC ruling against the legality of Texas' anti-sodomy law was an abomination, morally and legally. I think the state(s) ought to be seeking solutions to nullify that filthy reprobate ruling, and the US Congress should be working to curb the courts, and cement the Constitution as the law once written, and amended (and penumbred) with great trepidation and sobriety.
A federal marriage amendment will ultimately be another tool, or should I say weapon, in the godgov arsenal for REGULATING powers and rights that belong to the PEOPLE. For freedom-loving conservatives it should be obvious: that this DOES NOT belong on the federal ballpark, but at home in the states. It would be just one more stupid law...
The decision overturning the state of Texas' law against sodomy is the only reasonable solution. I don't understand why there's no discussion along that line. Our problem really isn't even homosexual activists, really: IT'S THE TYRANNY OF THE COURTS AND LAWYERS.
Also, all the descriptions and drafts I've seen, reveal a paper tiger anyway. They can't have marriage, but they can have "civil unions" that give them all the priveleges and properties that marriage conveys. NO should mean NO, or don't waste my time, Mr. Congressperson.
Therefore, this Baptist is against the federal semantic amendment.
I figure it this way, if gays want to experience the joy and wonder of divorce, marriage tax, etc etc etc....let em have it.
Just call it "civil union" not "marriage" and I don't care one way or the other.
And I believe this is a large, but unspoken motivation among the gay activists. It's just covert destruction.
BTW Oreily had some nutcase PHD and she basically said opposition to homosexual marriage is merely religious. That is a homo-talking point. Opposition is NOT merely religious. OReily is a homoenabler because of he soft stand on homosexual pandering.
Beware of being "labeled" as opposing on religious grounds. It is not just religion, there are ethical AND moral reasons ouside of religion.
