If America wakes up one day and finds that marriage has been redefined away from its original, intrinsic meaning as the union of a man and a woman, people might ask, “When did this happen and how come we didn’t know about it?” –Robert Knight
We are nearly 40 years since the advent of open lawlessness by those appointed to uphold the law. The innocent blood of our most innocent citizens covers the land.
So why has it taken this much time for the courts to normalize the practice of sodomy by conferring on it a marriage license? What makes the legalization of sodomy more difficult than the legalization of the murder of innocents?
Is there more prejudice against sexual perversion than against murder? The innocents could not advocate for themselves against their destruction, but the sodomites are as those without shame in advocating their sin. What has held back the lawless court?
The marriage relationship holds a high and honored place in Scripture in that the apostle compares this relationship in a mystery to that of Christ and His Church. [Ephesians 5]
To debase this relationship with the inclusion of that which our Creator calls an abomination is a milestone that marks the degeneracy of our culture to a critical point. If the sanctifying influence of the Spirit of God is removed, then we descend further being given over to our depravity. [Romans 1]
The Scripture says that God is longsuffering and takes no pleasure in the destruction of the wicked. From the history of redemption we know that there is a limit to His patience.
‘As I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’ [Ezekiel 33:11]
