“Baloney! People can get married because they love each other and want to commit to each other for life.”
So what’s wrong with Gay marriage than? Are you against people loving each other?
“My husband and I got married when I was in my mid to late thirties and we do not have any children because I can’t have children.”
Did you choose not to have children? There is nothing wrong with being unable to have children. That is not the same as using contraception to choose not to have children at all.
“Are you trying to say your Church demands that we should not have gotten married”
No, because there’s a difference between choosing and not being able to have children.
“How insipid and how blind to the work of God to call marriage “bad”!”
Again, marriage has a purpose. Marriage for the wrong reasons is bad.
“you may want to rethink belonging to an organization that commands so much of your personal life.”
So I should choose a weaker church that doesn’t care? That really sounds appealing.
“what God has joined together, let no man put asunder”???
If marriage is based on the union, then things that impair the union hurt marriage.
I guess you are starting to sound shrill because everyone is seeming to gang up on you, but, no, I shouldn't have to remind you that I believe in Scriptural marriage of one man and one woman. Homosexual marriage is wrong because homosexuality is sin. As to belonging to a church that commands everything about your personal life is not showing strength, it is showing an insecure clergy that cannot trust its members to make mature, spiritual decision between themselves and God. Do you REALLY want them snooping around your bedroom?
