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
