Of course it’s a generalization, whenever one makes a comment about the status of our society, it’s going to be a generalization.
If I said “we tolerate the murdering of babies in the millions”, it doesn’t mean every single person in this country tolerates it, or are murdering babies. It just means as a society we tolerate it taking place.
The same applies here. As a society we are way too tolerant of divorces, and this is the root of the problem, we started the path to devalue the sacred nature of marriage, marriage stopped being about God instead it became about us, about whatever makes us happy rather than what is in accordance to his will.
Once we went down that road in was inevitably going to lead us to homosexuals thinking they can be married, and after that the polygamists are going to ask for their turn, and don’t think the incest and bestiality people will be far behind them.
We’re not going to be able to hold the line at gay marriage. If we want to hold the line, we have to hold it at divorce. That’s where the real line lies.
That’s the point I’ve been trying to make. And I can tell by the responses in this thread it’s not a popular position. But then again truth is never popular with people.
“...we have to hold it at divorce...”
To suggest that our societal ills began with divorce is completely limited. Homosexuality and all other forms of sexual depravity have been present since the fall of man. It is in mans nature to rebel in such abhorrent ways.
The reasons behind our societies fall from high moral standards goes far deeper than just divorce. You state that if we just “hold it at divorce” our society will recover from the slippery slope. I disagree. Surely, you are correct in pointing out one of the solutions, but it is one of a number of solutions in order to recover.
You made a vitally important note in the importance of truth, though I disagree with your suggestion, which is to say that you hold the position of truth here.
Biblical truth is foundational in renewing and reforming our society.
