Logic is the cognitive pathway to truth. While to err is human, when we objectively apply logic to the question at hand, we at least endeavor, if done so in good faith, to arrive at the truth of the matter.
Jesus is the spiritual, and the very narrow, pathway to Truth, which is Himself. He invented logic. It’s a tool that helps us to observe, study and to otherwise uncover the many mysteries veiled beneath His awesome natural order.
Truth is universal. It applies to everyone, including to the relativist who might prefer wandering aimless and far removed from logic’s narrow path, the wilderness of spiritual death.
It remains true for all, for instance, that if one leaps from the Sears Tower, one will, absent some intervening salvation, splat below like a ripe tomato. Whether we like it or not, this is the natural order of things.
The question at hand is this: What exactly is “same-sex marriage”?
Let’s do an exercise in logic.
In order to determine that which something is, it is sometimes helpful to first explore that which it is not. Hence, we can delineate that which is “gay marriage” by first understanding marriage itself. Jesus defined marriage for us. His definition is reflected in the spiritual, biological and in-every-other-way-self-evident order of His divinely defined design.
Declared Jesus: “‘Haven’t you read,’ he replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator “made them male and female,” and said, “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh”? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate’” (Matthew 19:4-6).
Rather conspicuously, and as I’ve noted before, Jesus did not say: “At the beginning the Creator made them lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT). For this reason a male, female or shemale will leave his, her or whatchahoozie’s father and mother, father and father or mother and mother and be united to his or her wife – and/or husband – and the two or more will become one flesh. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
Here, and as I’ve likewise explained, is what marriage is: “Marriage is the God-ordained, lifelong, covenantal union between man and wife, designed to provide men, women and children optimal stability and overall well-being. Marriage is that biologically, spiritually and morally centered institution calculated to ensure responsible procreation and perpetuate the human race. Marriage, real marriage, represents the fundamental cornerstone of any healthy society (any society that hopes to survive, at least).
“Here’s what marriage is not:
“Anything else.”
And so the notion of “same-sex” marriage is a self-defeating proposition. “Gay marriage” is not marriage at all.
Yet it is something.
But what?
From o’er the big pond, the Daily Mail offers insight: “Two male witches have tied the knot in the U.K.’s first pagan same-sex marriage.
“Tom Lanting, 34, and Iain Robertson, 39, who have been together for 12 years, were married in a ceremony in the 16th-century vaulted cellars of Marlin’s Wynd in Edinburgh. …
“The couple, who live in the Scottish capital, are both described as being hedge witches, who use herbal remedies to deal with medical and spiritual ailments.
“The ceremony encompassed a number of pagan traditions, including handfasting, where their hands were bound together, the sharing of mead and jumping the broom. …
“‘The new equal marriage law means that we finally have equal recognition and acceptance of our relationship, and it opens the door for all LGBTI couples to take the same step,’ the men said. …
“Louise Park, the presiding officer for the Pagan Federation (Scotland), conducted the ceremony.”
“We feel that, if any couple wish to, they should be able to make their marriage vows before their own personal Gods, friends and family, in a religious ceremony tailored to suit their own beliefs,” she told the Daily Mail.
Paganism is the antithesis of biblical Christianity, but it mustn’t be too lightly grasped or narrowly defined. It is far more broadly characterized than the overt hocus pocus practiced by Tom and Iain. In truth, any religious tradition, or no tradition at all, that falls beyond the Judeo-Christian Bible is, by default, paganism.
The opposite of truth is the lie. If Christianity embodies absolute truth, which it does, then paganism embodies the absolute lie. If Christianity is of God, who is truth, then paganism is of Satan, who is the father of lies. Satan is the “personal god” of paganism in all of its deceptive and Christ-mocking manifestations.
So, to be clear, and when measured against Christ’s unambiguous and biologically affirmed definition of marriage, all “same-sex marriages” are “pagan marriages.” They are “mock marriages” insofar as they mock both real marriage and the Christ who created it.
Moreover, the very thing that defines “gay marriage, the biologically and spiritually disordered act of same-sex sodomy,” likewise mocks God’s design for natural sexual intercourse. The Bible, throughout both the Old and New Testaments, unambiguously condemns as sin rising to the level of “an abomination,” all same-sex sexual conduct, be it, “loving, monogamous and committed,” or otherwise.
Homosexuality is mock sexuality.
And “gay marriage” is mock marriage.
So, again, and lest there be any uncertainty as to where I’m going with all this, “same-sex marriage” is evil – always and without exception. It is centrally defined by the sin of Sodom, which is expressly wicked conduct. All good things come from God the Father, and all wickedness comes from the father of lies. If God designed biblical marriage and natural human sexuality, and He did, then we are left no doubt as to who designed its counterfeit – as to who fabricated pagan “gay marriage” and otherwise perverted God’s perfect purposes for human sexuality.
“Gay marriage” is Satanic.
It’s only logical.
It still surprised me that things jumped this far, this quick. I really would have expected polygamy first. Not this. But things are going on behind the scenes spiritually that are not very nice, to put it mildly.
The pre-incarnate Jesus created everything, according to John 1. That would have to include logic.
At least that has Old Testament underpinnings.
I know that many erroneously believe in a “live and let live” philosophy regarding this issue. They think that they’re not hurting them. Untrue. They most assuredly ARE hurting every one of us. God’s wrath falls on nations that sink to these depths of depravity. It’s obviously already falling on us, taking a formerly obedient and prosperous nation to $17 trillion in debt and on the brink of bankruptcy. So this is far, far from a “victimless crime.” We’re paying a national price for our collective depravity.
We used to love and fear God, and strove for obedience to His Word in an effort to win His blessings. That’s why our laws were indistinguishable from His commands. That wasn’t some sort of accident.
Now our national religion appears to be homosexuality. Makes sense. A lot of the old pagan religions featured that particular abomination.
No kidding! Someone posted in response to a picture of some skanky gal wondering how many “vernal diseases” she had. I was tempted to ask if those were diseases that went away on June 21st! Were they more or less severe than autumnal diseases?
LOL!
Perhaps the ease of having multiple sex partners without a legal relationship derailed that development, or perhaps it was the lack of a legally binding marital bond, period.
Marriage was designed by God for His people. There is no marriage even between a man and a woman, without God. The state "license" has no bearing on the Godly design of marriage. "Gay" marriage is evil, designed by their god, satan.
There are some here who claim that serial polygamy - marriage/divorce/marriage/divorce is Biblically approved.
Incest has already won next as runner up, under the distinction that the girl and her actual father were both old enough to both be consenting adults.
they can assume some satanic contract, but that contract is not marriage, more like a glorification of mutual hate and abuse, truly the stuff of demons and hell.
There is a loony US embassador in South America saying Conservatives want to prevent children from consenting with each other.... it is going there.
I am not comfortable with teens going at it, something wrong is bound to and does happen. Plenty of people from my graduating high school class (2004) are now in some pretty bad messes concerning children they either had or fathered out of wedlock. That loony ambassador is in serious denial of reality. I would argue that some conservatives recognize what I just said and do not want it to happen to their children.
That is what it really comes down to, the Sodomites pressing need for acceptance. They will have it if they need to take it by force through the power of the state.
My take is; Sorry buddy, you are a sick person with a damaged soul and I just don't have it for you.
I always get lost on the notion that some of you believe that Jesus is God and the son of God, which you seem to be saying.
