It's amazing how many Christians are willing fo their society to disintegrate. IT's truly shocking.
I'm sure there are many Christians who feel their society is already in process of disintegrating. That which God finds morally reprehensible is forcing by law capitulation to that which is immoral and in many cases, undiagnosed mental illness or physical and chemical imbalances. Rather than treatment, surgical mutilation ensues. And after that that minority number of defects are being permitted to trespass upon and violate the rights and privacies of the majority.
It is the insane asylum metaphor wherein the lunatics are not only out of their cells but they're given the keys to walk into other peoples privacy. And if those persons object to the trespass on that right to privacy, those lunatics are allowed to further their journey with the proceeds garnered from the lawsuits they file, and the satisfaction they're afforded having put the moral and the sane who may be Christian also out of business.
No, this society has been degenerating for a very long time. And that dissolution of a moral society is allowed momentum because it is said to be politically correct that it occur. And those opposed are then labeled immoral, bigots, homophobes, and transphobic.
The United States is being forced to become that antithesis of its former self. Rather than a nation under God founded on the spirit and principles of righteousness, right-ness, it is becoming a nation done under by the precepts of God's nemesis. And the minions of said nemesis.
It is a circular man-made devolution that will ultimately result in our human society, because this movement is happening all over the world, needing to be saved from its evils and sin yet again. And being God's word is already here it will then be when the proverbial wheat and tares are separated after all is said and done.
When the world becomes what the adversary of righteousness intends those who sustain themselves in the truth of God wherever they are, here or the middle east or anywhere else where this chaos is active, will survive to the extent their armor is sound. Those who are nominally Christian, who are weak in faith, who are prone to capitulate because they're afraid to stand for truth, morality, decency, and good old common sense, will fall away into the legendary walled city , metaphorically, of that which is remembered and recalled as Sodom and Gomorrah. Where none but one steadfast family of Lot; meaning, a covering or veil. I.E. refuge, stayed true to God. And later turned their back on that city condemned to the flames.
All is as God predestined. There is no fear in the Christian for what is transpiring. Just amazement that we are watching the erosion of a great nation built on the foundations of God's spirit falling away to that Lion that roams the earth seeking and finding those souls he devours. By law. Man's law.
And even God's people are falling away now. Just as was prophesied. 1 Timothy 4 . They become members of the worlds church and as such fulfill the other prophecy Christ foretold in Matthew 7.
Again, in my view it is all as God wills. A nation that new God but turns away from the truth of Christ, will be made to bow to that choice by suffering the trials that ensue after the veil of righteousness is abraded. That old truism that a people do not know how good they had it until it is swept away.
Thinking it is proper to live in the world, and be proponents of the worlds immorality structure that heralds anything goes, no constraints, not even common sense and certainly not biology, will in itself afford a lesson that vice always does.
Even the laws of this country at one time recognized marriage was between one man and one woman. As God ordained in the beginning.
A law like this wouldn't zap a people's rights. It would preserve a peoples rights. While a civil union, which is what a marriage license actually is also, license would allow those opposed to issuing a marriage license the right to refuse that while granting a CU permit.
The idea that the 14th amendment is being violated in that doesn't hold either. The 14th doesn't guarantee equal possession or entitlement to the word; marriage. Whereas a license is a state's issuance of the privilege to unite as a couple and enjoy all the benefits therein.
What is a civil union for one group is the all encompassing meaning behind the marriage license granted for all. Because a marriage license grants a civil union between applicants.
And this then preserves the religious identity and institution of marriage for the religious. And guarantees the civil right of the homosexual to enter into the civil union that is what comes after the issuance of a license to unite as a couple under civil law.
