It appears that homosexuality and same-sex marriages are becoming accepted behavior. The mantra is that we must treat everyone equal. Polygamy cannot be far behind. If we allow two people of the same sex to marry, how can we prohibit two men and a woman or two women and a man to marry? How will this “church” view this behavior?

RE: It appears that homosexuality and same-sex marriages are becoming accepted behavior.

I think the argument can be summed up thusly ( not my argument but the argument of those who support the gay lifestyle):

“Gays were born that way, just as black people were born that way. Therefore since God Himself made gays that way, we have to accept gays the way they are. Just as it is wrong to discriminate someone because of his skin color, it is also wrong to discriminate against someone because of his/her sexual orientation.”

The rudder was removed in 1948 when the Supreme Court elevated the rights of atheists to the same level as those who believe that we are a nation Under God. From that point onward, all sorts of moral relativism has rotted the body politic from the inside. And because Protestantism was the mainstream in America, but has no central teaching authority as does Catholicism, the largest old time Protestant churches -- Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist -- have been corroded by the influence of a relativistic society, to the point of becoming agents of the devil. Their founders are spinning in their graves. It's mainly offshoot congregations that are holding to the Bible now.
