“They can have faith that a government that is tangible to them can and will enforce its (secular-based) laws that for the moment at least happen to roughly agree with God’s law that they (roughly) understand. They can’t have sufficient faith that God’s laws are above and beyond government.”
Many have been conditioned to think marriage comes from and is defined by the state, that’s why so many accept the concept of ‘gay marriage’ in the first place. It can exist because the state says it can, it comes in little pieces of paper. The paper denotes a contract with benefits and strictures between any parties the state chooses and can be broken and resumed as long as the state gives its permission again.
A lot of times those faiths that accept ‘gay marriage’ won’t even act on this belief until the state tells them that it also accepts ‘gay marriage.’ Which might be more insane than buying into ‘gay marriage’ in the first place.
