"Gay" Marriage: Are You Crazy?

     What are the possibilities for implosion in a society where the population has so veered from the norm as to tolerate, let alone, approve an abnormal union between same sex people, and call it a legal marriage? And when said society starts down that slippery slope and removes time tested and sanctified boundaries, what will the next step be? Who would have thought fifty years ago that our states would even consider such a slide? And if you are so foolish as to think perversion has limits you will not agree with me when I say that, given enough time, we will be talking about marriage between adults and little children (as do Muslims presently) but, just watch and see, some pervert will want to marry his cow!

     In the beginning God created Adam (man) and, from him God created Eve (woman) to be a "help meet" or fitted for the man (Genesis 2:7,22). And so, God created the man and his counterpart and blessed them (Genesis 1:28) to procreate. And so, for thousands of years marriage has been between a man and a woman! It matters not whether it is a civil marriage or a religious marriage, the only God blessed marriage is between a man and a woman, and I believe, not even ALL of those! But I will refrain from going there any further this time. The point is there can be no such blessing between same sex people regardless of whether it's done in a "church" or by a magistrate!

     We don't learn very well from history! Sodom was destroyed, partly because of such wickedness and there may have been no such "legal marriage" even involved there! Great nations, throughout history, have decayed from within by the adoption of homosexual lifestyles. Rome fell, from among other things through moral decline and Paul writes in Romans, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." (Romans 1:27,28) The word unseemly means indecent and shameful. That's exactly what the states are approving, indecent and shameful acts, and calling it marriage.

     Now if you look up the word marriage in your dictionary you will find that the primary meaning has to do with the union of a man and a woman, and, when it is speaking of a union between people that primary meaning is understood. There can be a "marriage of ideas" or a "marriage of ideologies" or any kind of union can be called a "marriage" BUT, when speaking of joining two PEOPLE in marriage we know it MUST be a man and a woman!

                                                                                                            

    A question that occurs to me is, "Why, when we are having a national conversation regarding such things as health care, and economic distress, are we even giving the slightest thought towards creating an even greater problem by pronouncing people as married when it is biologically implausible?" Don't most of us think health insurance is way to high right now? And lots of us can't even afford health insurance! And have we considered the economic woes that will result from such unions? Are we crazy?

   And why, when our youth seem to be struggling with truth and error are we constantly feeding them error?

    The gay crowed shouts out, "We should be able to choose whom we love!" and I agree, BUT, are we really talking about love? Of course, I can choose to love whomever I wish and so can you, but that does not mean that we have the right to desecrate our bodies! And that doesn't mean we have a right to put a heavier weight on the society in which we live. What will you tell that future fellow who wants to marry his cow?

                                                  

   I for one believe this whole conversation is ridiculous and, any state that even considers gay marriage should be shamed! Common sense alone should tell us that there are basically two reasons for marriage. One is for the fulfillment of sexual needs and the other is for procreation. While any homosexual relationship may pretend at fulfillment of a sexual need there is no possible way for that union to procreate! Sexual organs are designed to fit properly. Any plumber or electrician knows that fittings are called "male" or "female". You can't put two "male" fittings together and you can't put two "female" fittings together without somehow bypassing the norm! What is wrong with a society that can't seem to figure this out? Why, after thousands of years of human procreation, and after numerous attempts at social engineering, cannot the judges of any state acknowledge that any "gay" union is outside God's design? I think perhaps King David, though he was talking about a different type of sin, calls it right when he said, "The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, hat there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil." (Psalm 36:1-4) There is no real fear of the LORD with this person and he thinks himself untouchable, that there will be no retribution for his evil. He has forsaken wisdom and practices sophistry; he lays upon his bed thinking about new ways to carry out his rebellion and mischief. This is the real answer to "Why?"

   I'm 65 years old and I can remember when "gay" meant happy, joyful, merry, bright or brilliant. Now it means something else and I think a lot of those "gay" people are NOT happy or joyful! You can't be truly happy, joyful, or merry when you are of a rebellious spirit and no matter what is accomplished in society to ease the conscience; the truth is still there and that is difficult to deal with.

   I'm not trying to be mean or cruel; I'm just stating what I believe to be true. So what's the remedy? There is only one and that is belief on Jesus Christ, not only as Savior, but as Lord of your life as well! Remember what Jesus said to that Samaritan woman? She was NOT "gay" but she had been married five times and was now living in adultery. She was given a choice to go on in her life, trying to make herself feel better in her own way, OR she could drink of the Life Giving Water that Christ offered her. He said, "Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:13,14) Anyone who trusts the Lord Jesus Christ to be his/her Savior will drink of this fountain of life and He will help you to overcome whatever sin has overwhelmed you. Do so today!
