Those calling for civil marriage contracts claim that after obtaining a civil marriage, those who desire to do so can get married in a Church.

But wouldn’t that mean you would then have two different types of “marriages”?

The libs will scream that this is unfair and discriminatory, and force Churches to perform same-sex ceremonies.

They’ll either force apostasy or shut the church down and jail the pastor and parishioners.

Of course, but that's a battle we have a chance of winning. The libs can go to churches that do same-sex marriages already. BTW, the article's author is basically wrong. The Supreme Court reapplied civil marriage, they don't have jurisdiction over marriage.

The solution is to get the church out of the government marriage business. Churches perform Holy Matrimony, a ritual of the faith. This need have nothing to do with state licensure.
Holy Matrimony is a joining of a man and a woman in a marriage blessed by God and faithful to the body of Christ. The preponderance of couples living together without licenses from the state demonstrates the bankruptcy of that system. These same couple make serious commitments to each other that the church has the unique ability to bring into the body of faith, thereby sanctifying that marriage.
Unless the church wants to marry Bob and Brad they had best sever all ties with the government marriage licensing system.
