Homosexual Marriage

The topic of "Homosexual Marriage" has been in the news a lot lately, particularly with our governor's response to the NY law so I thought I would give my thoughts on it.

GOD designed and defined marriage between one man and one woman. HE allowed multiple wives at certain times, but any other form of partnership is clearly not marriage. Therefore there can be no such thing as homosexual marriage. HE defined it and only HE can redefine it, the USA or State of NY cannot redefine what GOD defined. I can call a car an airplane, but that doesn't make it one.

The problem started when government at any level started recognizing and recording marriages. In the US there is no legal authority for county, state, or federal government to recognize, record, or solemnize marriage. It is solely a function of GOD and HIS church.  Government has no business being involved. When government gets involved decisions are made based on political power and not what it right.

Some claim that is just gives homosexuals the same rights as anyone else. They already have the same rights as anyone else, they are free to marry, fornicate, or adulterate as they wish. They can leave their possessions to anyone they want to on their death or during their life. They can jointly buy houses, cars, etc just like married people.

What the homosexual community wants is to destroy CHRISTianity and the attack on marriage is just one method. They want to be able to sin and no one be able to tell them it is a sin. They want to rebel against GOD with no consequences. It doesn't work that way, even if they eliminate the social consequences, there are still eternal consequences to the unrepentant sinner.

It is not "Gay Marriage." The homosexual community has coopted the word gay. The word gay used to mean according to Websters

1  a : happily excited : merry

   b : keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits

2  a : bright, lively

   b : brilliant in color

The homosexuals want to portray themselves as happy funloving people when in fact they are anything but.

Homosexual behavior is a sin, just like adultery or fornication(often found in the church). The only answer to sin is to repent and accept the forgiveness paid for by JESUS. There is no other answer to sin and in this way, homosexuality is no different than any other sin.

CHRISTians and the church have too frequently been involved in attempting to pass laws to keep people from sinful behavior. This simply does not work and is not what JESUS taught us to do. We must preach the Gospel to the world around us and encourage them to repent and turn away from their sin(all sin, not just homosexuality) and to turn to JESUS the author and perfector of our faith.  HE took away my sins and he will take theirs also.

GOD loves homosexuals just like he loves all sinners.  HE offers the free gift of salvation through the sacrifice of JESUS on the cross.  But those who refuse to repent and ask for forgiveness will be judged according to their sins.  Those who do repent and ask for forgiveness will be judged according to JESUS' sinlessness.  This applies to murderers, thieves, satan worshipers, adulterers, fornicators, and homosexuals as well as all other sinners.  100% of humans will be judged.
