“Jaw drops.....

Wow. My compliments on your post. Excellent point. But why stop with just marriage?”

I see no reason to continue with anything. The point is Marriage is no longer save under the control of State, the Church must wrest back control of the Institution of Marriage.

I was simply suggesting how we might go about doing that. Utilizing the fact that the existing State recognized institution will continue to fall apart on its own.

That means we need to establish our own parallel system of Records.(To prevent polygamy, or potently divorce and remarriage)

But to do that the leaders of our religious institutions all the major faiths need to get together. This is necessary to both give the new parallel system legitimacy and wide spread significance.

But even if its just among Southern Baptist we can preserve true marriage for posterity.

My compliments on your post. Excellent point. But why stop with just marriage?

Because without a careful wording of any universal marriage covenant among churches, synagogues and mosques that is lengthy and comparable to the development of the U.S. Constitution, the inevitable result may well be the criminalization of religious freedom, Christianity and Judaism in the U.S.

The better path at present is to fight against radical redefinition of marriage on the basis of telling the scientific truth about the negative effects of homosexual behaviors. And there is a lot of it available. Civil marriage statutes do protect the freedom of religion.

You are correct that the religious organizations need to take a very active hand in promoting marriage and educating their congregations about the need for it and the ways to create marital health. But among the mainstream established protestant denominations, there is a huge amount of infiltration and controversy, and many gay pastors as a result of the social rebellion of the 60s having afflicted the seminaries. The Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Lutherans have already given in to homosexual normalization, and the Methodists have been fighting about it for more than 20 years.

So what your proposal is likely to yield is a generous helping of more fighting and more stubborn rebellion and indoctrination of children by a large percentage of protestants; an increased effort by communists, socialists and feminists to destroy Catholicism; and more scorn, assertions of moral superiority and aggressive promotion of sharia law by muslims.
