Gays pushing their agenda a blessing in disguise? He does work in mysterious ways...

[aimhigh]

The liberals pushed the divorce laws, encouraged the extreme women's liberation movement, and dissed marraige for the last 50 years. They have done everything possible to ruin marraige, and now they blame others. Typical.

The article is correct, but I disagree that Christians were asleep at the wheel when no-fault divorce was pushed through. The no-fault divorce was an important part of the feminist agenda to end Patriarchal oppression of women, and back in the 60s and 70s the feminists were just too powerful.

I think that those of us who are Christians need to start fighting for covenent marriage.

if we don't address cohabitation and casual divorce and deliberate childlessness

"Deliberate childlessness?" Nope, can't have that, now can we? Gotta get the government to start coercing people to have children even if they don't want them. < /s>

This Christensen guy is a wacko.

Why is this a "Christian" issue?

In reality, the only consequence of tightening up divorce laws will be a reduction in the # of marriages.

Americans face a choice of whether to view marriage as primarily an act of individual satisfaction or as an institution serving the communal good.

True. If there is one factor in the web of causation for almost every serious social problem we're facing, it is no-fault divorce.

"If they're isolated - if we don't address cohabitation and casual divorce and deliberate childlessness - then I think they're futile and will be brushed aside."

If we want a return to Democratic supermajorities in both houses of congress, this is just the ticket to run on!

It is true: the example of marriage among Christians is actually worse than the whole concept of gay marriage, although I am fully against both.

Homosexual marriage is not valid before God; however, Christian marriage is and always has been. For Christians to divorce and then marry others without reconciling or staying single (as Paul states in 1 Cor.) is committing adultery.

Those who do not profess God and Christ have not subscribed to His Word. They are held accountable on a totally different level, although they will not be in heaven if they do not accept Christ.
