The only ones "corrupting the institution of marriage" are the relativists (such as yourself, Gondring, and KrisKringle) who DEFEND AND CHAMPION the redefinition of marriage.
IBTZ, you three pathetic POS's!
PLEASE! Can you show me where I say marriage should not be between a man and a woman?
On the contrary, Government is trying to say it can be perverted to be between two men or two women, or many of each. That is evil, heretical, and wrong.
Since Government insists on ignoring the Biblical basis of marriage, then do not allow it any control or power over marriage it all. Reserve it for the Church.
Don’t address what you think I said, don’t address what others claim I said - address my words HERE. The Government has no power or dominion over marriage other than what we choose to give it. I choose to not give it any control, because it has shown it is willing to pervert and destroy that insitution.
Should the Government be used to certify and condone other sacraments of the church? Should Government weigh in on baptisms, and communion, confession and last rites?
No? Then why should it have any say over marriage?
How is giving Government power over a sacrament given to us by God, a good thing? How is it in any way acceptable? If Government is aligned with the will of God, then Government can come along side. The second it is no longer aligned with the will of God, Government should be shunned from any involvement in that aspect of life.
I choose not to lower my faith, my church, and my God below the power and authority of Government.
ROTFLOL! Yes, I want the definition to go back to what it was before statists like you tried to turn it into some bureaucratic, licensed affair! Let's take it back to the churches where it belongs!
Tell me, if Jesus were walking the earth today in the flesh and Congress decided to put into place some definition of marriage, would you tell Jesus that He should bow to the State? Does Render Unto Caesar include those things about which Jesus taught (e.g., marriage)?
Once again, we see that where the government gets its nose into the tent, we soon get the hump.
