With regards to homosexual “marriage”, specifically as it relates to Christianity: I’ve often heard the sentiment expressed that Jesus preached love – and that should be the over-riding concern in all matters – as the justification for homosexual unions/marriages/covenants. However you want to dress it up, you simply cannot use “it’s about love” as an excuse:
- What if I want to “love” my pet?
- What if I want to “love” my daughter?
- What if I want to “love” a dead person?
- What if I want to “love” multiple women?
- What if I want to “love” an infant?
Most people who support homosexual unions and call themselves Christians would say that’s ridiculous – those situations are *obviously* sinful.
That’s exactly what they would’ve said about homosexuality 50 years ago.
What’s changed? God hasn’t changed. The Bible hasn’t changed. Society has changed, and too many Christians are caught up in what the secular world is telling them, rather than what God has told us for thousands of years.
“Oh, but we were ignorant then. We’re more enlightened now.”
NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association) would have you become even more “enlightened”. If you think the secular world is going to stop with homosexual marriages, you are sadly mistaken. Not only will the so-called “progressives” attempt to expand the boundaries of what can be called “marriage”, they will attempt to criminalize those who continue to stand on the position that marriage should only apply to one man and one woman. They’re already trying to take God out of everything else – the church won’t be far behind.
Moral relativism is going to continue to be pushed on everyone and everything in society unless people stop and make a stand. Unless something is done now, ultimately there will be *no* boundaries, *no* sense of what is right and wrong. I’ve heard it put this way – when “marriage” can be applied to anything, it will ultimately mean nothing.
The argument that homosexual unions should be celebrated and supported simply because Jesus preached “love” is a intellectually (and morally) bankrupt position, and flies in the face of God’s word.
If churches want to take that position, fine. Be a social organization – do good in the community, support the poor, etc. I have no problem with that. But if you’re going to reshape the Bible at every opportunity to suit the whims of the World, please don’t associate yourself with Christ.
