No Propagation in the Union of Gay Marriage
No Propagation in the Union of Gay Marriage
(My response to the e-mail article seen below)
The Law can never protect marriage; neither can it prevent gay relationships. It is the law written on the heart, and conscience that either accuse us or tell us that we are doing right. Sexual behavior cannot be legislated, since the law does not prevent us from doing anything. If the law could, then there would be no need for salvation. The constitutional provision will be futile.
The institution of marriage is threatened for many reasons: :Blindness because of the self-life, fear of a loss of identity /distinctiveness, hidden dimensions of competition, isolationist tendencies and positions, lack of trust, fear of being hurt or used, disobedience, hardness of heart, lack of knowledge or wrong choices. The act of adultery begins in the heart. No constitution bill can curb adulterous behavior. The main threat to marriage is incorrect heart position, not adultery. Two parties should enter into marriage with a corporate agreement to work jointly towards a common goal of pursuing the purpose of God for that marriage. The problem arises when we look at what is beneficial to us and not the union of marriage. We must first understand what it is that we were brought together to achieve. We must know what we are together to do. When we work towards His will instead of our personal satisfaction, greater marital satisfaction is achieved. That is why the things that God has placed in the marriage to enhance it, actually brings pain and destroys it. When the enemy enters a marriage it attacks the weakest area.
We have become so used to an unrighteous society, that only what we perceive to be “the extreme” calls our attention. Are we striving for socially acceptable domestic arrangement or do we want to be obedient and fear God. By no means am I condoning a gay lifestyle, do not hear me wrong. The harm caused in a home where the husband or wife is gay is not any worse than a home
