For Sam Rohrer, the debate on same-sex marriage comes down to an unwavering Biblical outlook on the world.
Sam Rohrer, president, Pennsylvania Pastors Network Patriot-News file photo, 2010 Rohrer, a former nine-term Republican state representative and now president of the Pennsylvania Pastors Network, believes political leaders who support gay marriage are shirking a sworn duty to uphold “God’s moral and natural law.”
“The concept of what is important and what is to be protected by government arises from the clear concept that those rights and standards and values emanate from God, not government,” Rohrer said. “Government’s responsibility is to protect those rights.”
The Supreme Court this week heard oral arguments on two cases, one challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act, and the other, California’s Proposition 8. Same-sex marriage is illegal under both laws.
Rohrer, who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2010, said that as the high court’s nine justices consider their ruling, they should take into account their pledge to uphold, what he said, are the God-given rights in the U.S. Constitution.
“The question is is marriage something that has origination in a Biblical position or from God himself?” Rohrer said. “The answer is obviously 1,000 percent yes. That’s where it came from. That is the concept of marriage, the idea that there is one man, one woman was God’s model from the beginning. What civilizations have done is either protected, supported or defended that model or worked against it. You cannot point to any civilization that has diluted that standard and found a long history there after. Communities are made up of strong families.”

Gay sodomy also violates the laws of science in that it takes a male and a female reproductive system to reproduce. It is a fraud. The two can’t become one.
Just call it what it is: the Biblical Law of God. If liberal secularists are offended, so be it. If New Age folks feel left out, I do not care. If Muslims object, simply explain that, while all religions are tolerated here, this is a CHRISTIAN nation.
Peel off your potential supporters to the smallest possible number. Fascinating! Let me know how it turns out, OK?
