Marriage is the first human institution created by God.
Homosexuality is an abomination.
So, what better way for leftists to show their defiance and shake their fists in God’s face than to promote homosexual “marriage”?
It’s those like Mrs. Parker who step into the debate and lose it for us. By using our opponent’s language (”redefining marriage”), she concedes, adopts, and endorses our opponent’s fundamental premise (that marriage is capable of redefinition) - the one on which the entire debate rests.
Once she has conceded that marriage is defined and can therefore be redefined by man, her final redoubt is “tradition”. (And how’s that going to sell in American culture, hmm?)
She should’ve quoted Lincoln and called it a day. She’d have done less damage to marriage that way.
See, right there seems to be one thing people have a tendency to forget. Marriage as it is today sanctioned by the courts does not mean that it is sanctioned by God. And any church that says that God ok'd for homosexuals to marry is going to burn in the last days.
You are both correct, marriage is an institution defined by God. Since man has decided we can “redefine” this institution based upon popular vote, we know where this will lead. Why stop at gay marriage?
The real problem is stated so well in the book The Harbinger, God has removed America’s divine protection. Obama, marriage, marijuana legalization (in WA State), more abortions, more freebies, etc are the path America has chosen. Our failure to repent and take a moral stand has determined our future. There is some serious pain to come, all will suffer unfortunately. Expect a 911 or Sept 2008 type event in the not-to-distant-future.
Hope I am wrong.
