Of course its all our issue, as we are both Christians and citizens. Other than that, I thought that was what I was stating. There is no problem if the State definition of marriage is pretty much the same as Christian understanding, but that is rapidly becoming less and less true. I dont think its a a question of not recognising State marriages any more so much as standing up for what we recognise marriage to be. And if individuals don’t like our definition, they can get “married” elsewhere.
the mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do hold, until he be taken out of the way. And then that wicked one shall be revealed (2 Thessalonians 2:7-8)
It is not an issue in the sense that I don't sit there and wonder what marriage is or should be, -- I know what it is and it will remain what it is, regardless.
