The same sex marriage issue is again in the headlines. Again, we hear those that are for it claim equality as the foundation they stand on. They talk about human rights comparing their fight to the fights for equality of the races or equality of the sexes. I have seen same sex marriage compared to bi-racial marriage. Yes, bi-racial marriages were illegal at one time and are no longer.
I have gay family and friends. So this issue breaks my heart because I understand it so completely from their point of view. It seems so simple……let’s just legalize same sex marriage then everything will be okay. Partners will have the lifelong commitments they long for. Insurance companies will extend benefits to include their loved ones. Many of the day to day living problems of cohabitation will be solved. Everyone will live happily ever after, right?
Wrong, it is not that simple. Even if the laws do change to legalize same sex marriage it will NEVER be right in God’s eyes. He has ordained marriage as a holy ordinance. He has ordained it to be eternal. He has commanded that it be between a man and women. “ Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Genesis 2:24(also see Matt19:5)
In 1Corinthians 11:11-12 we read “Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.” We read this “And again, verily I say unto you, that whosoever forbiddeth to marry is not ordained of God, for marriage is ordained of God unto man. Wherefore, it is lawful that he should have a wife, and they twain shall be one flesh, and all this that the earth might answer the end of its creation.” And this “let every wife have her own husband and every man have his own wife.”
On the subject of same sex relationships we find, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is an abomination.” And “There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.” Another one “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be ye not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,”
These next scriptures are found in Romans and might answer those who think that God is the one that made them this way, “ Wherefore God also gave them up to the uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie….
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 that recompense of their error which was meet.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things that are not convenient .” In short, He let’s us have our way even if it’s the wrong way. He will never take the freedom to make our own choices from us. It is that ability to choose which can lead us into spiritual bondage and slavery.
Same sex marriage is NOT the same as biracial marriage or equality of the races because those have been approved by God. Same sex marriage is and will never be part of God’s plan. It is unholy and unnatural.That’s the view from my side of the street, what’s yours?
