“What do you want to know that will support the absurdity of saying that marriage isn’t also a part of law?”
Marrage isn’t founded in law, to claim that Law doesn’t reference and uses marriage is to deny hands of politicians.
The State does not and cannot makes a man and woman married. Only God can do that. The State can however recognize that marriage’s preexistence in the applicability of its laws.
But the State’s recognition is no more an indicator marriage than a blind man’s recognition of the color red is an indication of red.
The Muslim, gay cult, and Mormons, can all say the same, and we don’t care, it is only when it is legal that we care.
What you are saying is fine for church, but it sure doesn’t help us deal with American law, for instance in recognizing spouses in the military, and in immigration.
You aren’t opposing gay marriage, you are just talking to yourself, and making up some fake history at the same time.
