On The Audacity of Gay Marriage

In Virgils' Aeneid, we hear about how the Trojan horse was used to decisively win a battle. The beauty of the Trojan horse was that it was publicly portrayed for one positive purpose, but in reality, it was for another- to win a battle through deception.Gay marriage is a Trojan horse, and those that embrace it will ultimately suffer because what they thought was a positive, was a well crafted and well hidden negative.

I can hear the cat calls already. I hear the words "Religious nut, hate monger, and the like. I can already hear the emails being written, and feel the wrath of those that embrace "the life" starting to bubble and boil, but the fact of the matter is, gay marriages is wrong. It is wrong biblically, socially and physically.

If you indulge me as I so graciously did when I read the article entitled "On the sanctity of Gay marriage", I would like to share my views on this hotly debated issue. Let me state that I am not gay, but I had gay relatives, and know many gay people, and have met some gay couples.

I must admit my stomach turns and my flesh crawls and my heart breaks every time I see and hear from or about them. The issue is not that I don't like them, the issue is I hurt for them. It is like driving on a road, and learning that the bridge is out, I am trying to warn the drivers in the cars that the bridge is out, but they are not listening. I know that they soon will go over the cliff and experience unneeded suffering, pain, and possibly death.

How can I have the audacity to say such a thing? Who am I to pass judgement on the lifestyles of others? When you go to the store, is it judging when you say an apple is an apple? Who would argue with you and say that an apple is really a strawberry, or that a potato (or potatoe) is really a kiwi? No matter how much we claim that something is not what is really is, the truth never changes.

Marriage: One man and one Woman.

Marriage was designed by God, (not little g) to be enjoyed (and endured) by one man and one woman. When God created mankind, it was two species-Male and female. He created them to be a pair, a unit. God stated that a man alone is not good (profitable, productive), so He created the women to be the partner for man. (Gen. 2:18, 21)

The first recorded marriage was between a man and woman. (Gen. 2:24-25) Men and women physically are a perfect fit for each other. The male genitals were designed to fit into the female genitals. Men and women together are able to produce children, because God designed it that way. He made is so that chromosomes from both the woman and the man would join to produce a child.

Gay marriage is wrong socially.

Again, using the Bible as my source and point of reference, gay marriages send a message of autocratism- my life is my own and I can choose to do what I want. Really the issue is one of rejecting God and the standards and rules that He has set. After all, that is the reason that satan was kicked out of heaven, and has been offering you and me powerful and popular alternatives to what God has said. Society must live within the law. Without law, anarchy will prevail and everyone will do what is right in their own eyes. Homoesexual marriage is but one plank in the platform of spiritual and social rebellion against the rule and regulations that God has set. And for the record, God did not create homosexuality. It is a choice.

I believe that gay couples do share love, but the love they share is not real love. It is a physical, emotional and even powerful, but it is not real. The Bible says that "God is love", and if one does not have God, then they do not have real love. Therein lies theTrojan Horse. Gay marriage appears to offer all the happiness, satisfaction and "realness" of true marriage, but therein lies the Trojan horse-on the inside, it is hollowed out-devoid of the one thing that makes it real-God.

I hurt for those that are in "the life" because they have been unknowingly conned into buying the biggest bridge and largest piece of swampland. They have bought into the lie that God does not matter, as a homosexual, I am ok, and that I am the captain of my universe. I will simply leave two more pieces of religious rant. Gen. 19:1-25 describes why God destroyed the city of Sodom-because of its rampant homosexuality, and Romans 1:18-32 which talks about the mindset of homosexuals and lesbians-they made a choice to reject God, because they see Him as useless, uneeded and outdated. Specifically, gay marriage is a rejection of God, and what He has approved, and has said is right. It is the Trojan horse. It looks good on the inside, but in reality, it is a tool that will be used to win a battle by God. II Thess. 2:11-12.
