“This nation stands at a dramatic moment of decision. Our stewardship of this question–our decision on the question of same-sex marriage–will determine the future state of our society, the moral status of our culture, the health and well being of our children, and the inheritance we leave to the world. The choice before us is not between two visions of marriage–but between marriage and madness.” - Dr. Al Mohler
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness…, …their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.” - Romans 1:18, 21
Madness: /Mad”ness/, n. [From Mad, a.]
1. The condition of being mad; insanity; lunacy.
2. The quality or condition of being insane.
3. Great folly
“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.” - Romans 1:24
Should homosexuals be allowed to get married and have the same rights as heterosexual couples? Should our society rip away the sanctity of marriage and slay the American family by allowing insanity to define our morals and values? Will we continue to let this sickness gain ground and all the while allow rationality and morality to be buried under the headlines of bigot and intolerant? Will we stand up for what is right to protect the environment our children’s children will be forced to live in or will we continue to allow this corruption to spread like an incurable disease attacking every ounce of moral character and breeding even greater perversions?
“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.” - Romans 1:26-27
Homosexuality is a shameful lust, an unnatural relationship, a shameful act, and perversion! Because the people were corrupt and continued to allow this perversion God simply turned them over to their sin… and so it seems God could simply turn our nation over to its moral corruption and sin. So what happens next?
“Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.” - Romans 1:28-31
Apparently it just gets worse. If we allow homosexuals to gain the right to have their immoral, impure relationships and by law marry one another, making it morally, socially, and legally acceptable to be gay then what is next? If we pass the laws for unnatural relationships now, will it be okay to marry an animal later? When the passionate, immoral lusts of homosexuality no longer satisfy will the corrupt turn to bestiality or sex with children? Will we be passing laws to make those things legal?
Look at the mess in Sodom and Gomorrah. A couple angels show up and in less than 24 hours all the men in the town came to Lot’s house to rape them!
What about the Levite priest? He hadn’t been in town no time and the sodomites wanted to rape him but they were given his concubine instead. They abused that woman all night long and she died on the doorstep the next morning. Perversion breeds more perversion, because this lust will never be satisfied!
“Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:32
Homosexuality is madness!
Dr. Mohler speaks to homosexual marriage in the context of cultural wisdom and historic knowledge on his blog. To read his article click here and go to his January 15, 2004 post.
Gov. Dean believes God created gay people… “The overwhelming evidence is that there is very significant, substantial genetic component to [homosexuality],” he argued. “From a religious point of view, if God had thought homosexuality is a sin, he would not have created gay people.” Too bad his statement is based on an unproven idea that homosexuality is genetic. This has not been determined and the most recent findings on it were complete by a homosexual activist, Dean Hamer. It is a controversial topic with no basis in fact which is hardly a bandwagon I would be jumping on so quickly.
World Net Daily: “If same-sex relationships become the law of the land, then homosexual marriage will be presented to America’s schoolchildren as the equivalent of heterosexual marriage.” This article is a must read. It deals with what will happen to our children if same-sex marriages become the norm. Including schools being forced to teach with curriculum using same-sex role models, even for little children. “The take-away for students from these shallow lessons will be that it is illegal to criticize homosexuality, and every person young or old should be protected from the mean conservatives.”
There are many people that simply do not think before they speak. People who are quick to say “I don’t see much wrong with it” or “Its their own choice as long as they don’t bother me” don’t understand the impact that this will have on our society. The changes in rules, education, laws, and freedoms alone will affect everyone! This is not just a battle over whether or not gays should be married, it goes far deeper than that…
Pressed
I was so frustrated with it because I could not get it to work for nothing! I finally gave up after two days of messing with it.
