The US government controls the institution of marriage but does not generally legislate families. What is a “counterfeit family?”
Gay and lesbian families are not illegal. Gay marriage is illegal, with exceptions.
They have no authority to arrest an entire community.
Polygamy is prohibited in Deut 17:14-17 and Luke 18:18.
Polygamy is not justified in either an oriental harem or in the Mormon home. This was recognized by the government in 1862 and reconfirmed by the Supreme Court in 1890.
Polygamy causes many things ranging from incest to rape to murder and violence as indicated in David’s polygamy in 2Samuel 13.
The greatest nations in human history, Greece, Rome, Israel, were monogamous.
Legitimate authority in marriage is stipulated in Eph 5, and explicitly defiones marriage as between one man and one woman.
Eph 5:31
(31) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
It also models the relationship between Christ and the Church.
The legitimate authority of the family is presented in Colosians 5.
Col 3:20
(20) Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Those who seek to redefine marriage and family simply counterfeit an institution established by God for the happiness of man. Such counterfeit institutions simply lead to self-induced misery and fail to meet the requirements of a fulfilling spiritual life.
God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
Homosexual marriage is illegitimate and has no legitimate basis except in cases of illegitimate government, which maintains its status as wholly illegitimate. Beyond that, it has its basis in very real sick perverted mentality, seeking to rebel from legitimacy in the interest of promoting lust in arrogance without respect for anything holy.
