The Celestial Case Against Gay Marriage
You knew that I had to go here at one time or another.
The defeat of Proposition 8 in California and the response to it reflects the high and intense tensions over gay marriage and the homosexual agenda. In a lame move, gay activist are calling this the new civil rights movement which couldn’t be further from the truth and is an affront to black people all over the United States.
Recently, I received an email from an associate on Myspace. She had been having some problems coming to terms on what her stance, as an admitted conservative Christian, should be on gay marriage and asked me to help her in this regard. I quickly went to work and laid out the following argument.
IT’S ONLY A PIECE OF PAPER
The way people would want you to look at marriage, they would have you believe that it’s only a piece of paper givin by the government and that’s what makes a marriage a marriage. Wrong.
Marriage is not a government institution. It was instituted by God way back in Genesis 2:18-25. This is why God says in the Ten Commandments, “Thou shall not commit adultery.” I harped on this with my sons as they were growing up. As Christians, we take the institution of marriage seriously because God puts a premium on it. Marriage is a big deal.
God is so serious about marriage that He expects a couple to stay together forever once that commitment is made. The covenant, or agreement, made between a man and a woman God expects each to fulfill. There are very few things that can break that bond and infidelity is one of them. The reason for this is because the oneness God speaks of that seals the deal in a marriage is the consummation of the marriage (sex). A man and woman’s body is uniquely designed to join together in a way to where it is a type of the oneness in the relationship in the Trinity. In Malachi 2:13-15, He chastises Israel because of the rampant divorce among them for any reason, stating that He hates divorce. Marriage is no joke and it’s all God’s idea.
WHEN THE LAW IS WRONG
Just because something is legal doesn’t make it right, especially in the eyes of the living God.
Any law that is instituted by man which does not line up with God’s law threatens to bring judgment on the nation that instituted that law. It happens continuously throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. That is why the world was judged in The Flood (Genesis 6), why God confused the languages at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 10), why God judged the Pharaoh concerning Israel (Exodus), why Israel went to war against the heathen nations (Joshua, Judges), why God judged Israel when they turned from God (too many books to list), why the apostles refused to stop spreading the gospel when told not to by the governing authority of their day (Acts 5), and on and on.
MARRIAGE. WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
Concerning gay marriage, we who are God’s children (and that’s not everyone) must look at it from God’s perspective. What is the purpose of marriage? There are four main ones:
1.) God’s Glory – This is always paramount in what God does. To bring Himself glory. Gay marriage is expressly against this and I’ll explain why in a moment.
2.) Companionship – It’s one of the reasons why God decided Adam should have a wife (Genesis 2:18).
3.) Procreation - God specifically says to be fruitful and multiply. Children are a blessing and a byproduct of a holy marriage. This is impossible in a gay marriage.
4.) Sexual Intimacy – Sex is for marriage. It deepens the bond between a man and a woman. It should be enjoyed by both (Song of Solomon 6-7).
Already we have a problem when the kind of relationship we enter into can’t fulfill God’s full purpose for marriage.
THE HAMMER DROPS
But the biggie is the fact that God is totally, unequivocally, against homosexuality, so much that He calls it detestable and disgusting (abomination). You have to do some SERIOUS hurdle jumping to justify it and even then it doesn’t pass scriptural muster because of the sheer volume of scriptures that speak against it: Genesis 13:13; 19:5-7, Deuteronomy 23:17, Leviticus 18:1,22; 20:13, 1 Kings 14:24; 15:12, Ezekiel 16:49, Romans 1:18-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 2 Peter 2:6, Jude 1:7.
There’s more but you get the picture.
Outside of scripture, there are all kinds of health reasons as well as historical ramifications which support scripture. I’ll be looking at those soon. In the meantime between time, feel free to read this telling article Parallels between the fall of Rome and modern America.
Let the hatin begin.

Anti-Christ Gay Gestapo Attacks Church
When I first started researching this story yesterday, it was no where to be found. Later FOX carried it briefly on the O’Reilly Factor. You can best believe that if the shoe was on the other foot, it certainly would be splattered everywhere. But like usual, it’s strangely silent when a group of radical gay activists storm a church, terrorize its members, and blaspheme God with an upside down pink cross.
Bashing Back
Calling themselves Bash Back, the anti capitalist, anti-Christ organization is bent on direct action, many in the group gaining their inspiration from the Stonewall Riots and White Night Riots.
Susan Fani of the Catholic League says, “Outside they were chanting ‘Jesus was a homo’ on a megaphone. They were beating on buckets, presumably to drown out what the pastor was saying inside the church, and carrying an upside-down pink cross,” she explains. “They set off the fire alarm. They unfurled this big banner
because they apparently were hiding in an unused part of the church, like the balcony area.”
Other reports say that they stormed the pulpit shouting obscenities at the church and carried a banner which said, “It’s okay to be gay! Bash Back!”
More news came out yesterday that the group had been planning this for over a month.
“The facts are not in dispute,” says Bill Donohue, Catholic League president. “All one has to do is tap into the website of Bash Back! There one will find that on Oct. 12 and Oct. 23, a memo was sent to members of the group to commemorate the founding of ‘Michigan’s newly formed chapter’ asking ‘Queers and Trannies’ to join in storming the church. The group boasts that in 2008 there has been ‘an explosion in Radical Trans/Queer organizing,’ citing progress that has been made from ‘Maine to the Midwest to The Bay Area.’ Bash Back! was founded to fight ‘State recognition in the form of oppressive institutions such as marriage and militarism’; it says both are ‘steps towards hetero-normative assimilation.’ The radical nature of the group has led it to protest pro-gay marriage organizations like the Human Rights Campaign.”
It Just Gets Worse
No sooner does this happens then Pepsico jumps on the gay agenda bandwagon, similar to what McDonalds did recently.
Much of this is fueled, I believe, by the defeat of Proposition 8 in California. Gay advocacy groups were shocked at that outcome and went on to protest which brought about attacks on Mormon temples who had financed a good portion of the law.
An interesting fact is that 70% of African-Americans voted against the proposition according to USA Today. True to form, they’re being blamed for it’s defeat.
Blacks Were Brainwashed
Reporter Robert Paul Reyes from NewsBlaze.com said, “Mormons make up a tiny percentage of the electorate in California, it was evangelicals, Catholics, and people of faith of all stripes who are responsible for the passage of this abominable proposition. It’s deeply disappointing that blacks were primarily responsible for the passage of Proposition 8. Religion is so pernicious and odious that it can make African Americans, who have endured discrimination for centuries, vote for a measure that is blatantly discriminatory toward gays and lesbians.”
Oh…so it was religion that made them do it. Pretty much the equivalent of the devil made me do it. Because, you see, black people were too stupid to know what the bill was about and vote what they wanted to vote. They simply had their minds clouded. And since they don’t want to offend anyone, they have to blame someone. Might as well blame religion.
Riiiiight.
We shouldn’t be surprised by this. We’ll take a long hard look at how scripture is being played out right before our eyes in the next day or two so stay tuned.
