Tempting God In America

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The attack on God’s Holy Institution of Marriage in America has reached an unprecedented level. “In separate actions, judges stuck down constitutional marriage amendments in Virginia and Florida. Marriage is being challenged in every state that has not already redefined it.”

 

There are good arguments coming forward from the defenders of marriage that the consent of the governed is being overturned in our land – the will of multiple millions of voters in state after state is being overturned by one lawyer wearing a black robe; or the correct argument that Judges cannot make law, yet that in essences is what they are doing in all those States which have built marriage protection into their constitutions; or the correct argument that marriage as an institution is the bedrock of a society and for 6000 years it has always been between a man and a woman, to change it is a reckless and dangerous undertaking that well may destroy the inter relational glue which holds a society together; or, what I believe is the more powerful argument, that marriage does not belong to the jurisdiction of human civil government and therefore it has no power to redefine marriage. It is an unlawful power grab.

 

So while many are explaining what is happening on the legal and constitutional level, I think it is absolutely critical that we step back and see what is happening in America on the larger scale that is from the vantage point of the Bible – God’s Holy Word. Turn to the Biblical text of Exodus 17:1-7. What I believe we are seeing in America today is not in principle something new, though its manifestation may be new, rather it is the same thing which happen in the wilderness wanderings, the dangerous and terrible sin of tempting God. We need to understand this sin, not simply for the national issues before us, but because in the midst of a wicked and perverse generation, we are surrounded by this and may be draw into this very same sin. We need to understand what it is and the terrible consequences of the sin of tempting God.

      when is marriage a Christian copyrighted thing?

      • Damien

        It isn’t. The fundies are just worried that religious people might not continue to be state melting pot individualist trash so have to try and encourage these communities to associate their races religions with the Wasp Zionist state.

        • Damien

          Wasp’s Zionist state.

        It’s not, it’s their arrogance talking, they will grasp onto anything if they think it will help their cause, including made up end of world dates from hippies on pagan cults they have destroyed as Devil worship in the past, ie the Mayan calender 21-12-2012 fiasco.

        :lol:

      Going by the graphic I’m assuming your deity is called Thor, son of Odin and god of thunder and lightening.

      :lol:

      Marriage is a legal binding arrangement for property rights after the death of one partner, not a Christian sacrament or institution. It has existed for many thousands of years before your dark age state enforced thought and belief intolerant dictatorship was brutally foisted on the world. The ceremony being the only means of informing everyone before the days of a legal institution.
