G-d defined marriage.
Governments can call a cat a mouse if they wish.
Considering that God has defined marriage ... no one has the right to “redefine” marriage.
Governments / states have no power to redefine a thing.
I asked my “stated” gay nephew this simple question:
“Do you think marriage is any contractual relationship between 1:n adults (for the moment). If so, what is therefore the theoretical basis for “marriage?” I have thousands of years of the societal basis for marriage. What is the theoretical basis for marriage of 1:n adults?
He sputtered and was never able to answer that simple question.
Not suprisingly.
When my liberal nephews and nieces make their emotional arguments they never can make arguments beyond “because I think/want so.”
No human has any greater power to define marriage than does any other.
Jesus said:
“From the beginning of creation,
God made them male and female.
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh.
So they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
no human being must separate.”
Once marriage no longer means “marriage” then the majority of Americans and Western Civilization will have to come up with a new word to describe real marriage, so that we don’t have to go through the 20 questions game every time normal humans are mentioning their friends and family getting married.
At creation the woman was taken out of the man. In marriage they are re-united.
By definition, marriage cannot be between two people of the same sex.
