A More Compelling Argument

If one were to click this link and listen, at the 4:00 minute mark on, you would hear from the "fair and balanced" folks who are "looking out for us", that besides the Bible, there really isn't a compelling argument against homosexual marriage. While I don't agree with that statement, think about that assertion and you will understand why our civilization is crumbling. The Omnipotent  Sovereign God, created man,  male and female and then God Himself created the Divine institution of marriage and provides instruction on what a marriage is, what it is for, its bounds, its intentions, and how both parties are to act in the marriage. So, beside that, what other argument do you have?

The foundations are gone. Our society is making moral judgments and trying to overturn the basic foundation of human society on emotional argumentation. A people who KNOW what God says about the issue, but just do not care. Only a miracle of Divine grace can save us now. Once the "anything goes" door is open, who is going to shut it and why? Homosexual advocates are not for marriage equality because they don't want a man to marry his brother and his sister. So in five years, what answer will the Supreme Court give to these siblings who want to get married? What arguments will anyone have to say "no, that's not right."? Who is going to shut the door and why? 

When a society is overtaken by sin, as part of Divine judgment, God gives them over to their depraved thoughts. We loose our ability to think and reason and are blinded by our sinfulness. That is what you see before us now. People are given over to their rebellious thoughts and the Divine, authoritative Word of God is not a "compelling argument." We can hear things like "the Bible says that sure, but we are Americans and we believe in FREEDOM!" Without a foundation of moral law and the ability of self-control, freedom will die. Freedom to live in depravity is not freedom at all, it is bondage to sin. The further one goes into this "liberty" the more they are in bondage to their sin. 

 So what do we do now? We need to thump the Bible - more clearly and more authoritatively. We need to study this issue. We need to know what Leviticus says and why. We need to know what Jesus said about marriage and why and what He appealed to in His defense of marriage (hint: 'have you not READ?'). These are exciting times in which we live. Think about it, how many generations have been witness to the decline and fall of a great civilization? I did say exciting, not enjoyable. When we talk about this issue, we should be seen as the "Bible Thumpers" and be unapologetic about it. What is likely to happen is both political parties will want to distance themselves from this issue, and when both Republican and Democrats agree, they have to have someone to blame all this opposition on - and I wonder if there is a group of people out there they could blame? People who just won't listen to "reason" and keep going back to that Book. Who don't make compelling arguments, who just keep going back to that Book. People who won't change with the times, they just keep going back to that Book. That Book that tells me I'm a sinner and need a Savior. That Book that tells me that there is a Creator and I'm not Him. That Book, that reminds me I'm not the judge of right and wrong, and that there is a judgment coming for those who break the laws the Book contains. That Book.  How man hates that Book. Despite the "folks" who are "looking out for us" say, I think "because God said" is a pretty compelling argument.
