They think Fear is the issue with same sex marriage

Do the advocates of what has become known as "same sex" marriage actually believe that the opponents are filled with this new phobia? A phobia that they themselves have coined and propagated and that the secular world has transitioned into adopting and using in order to be politically correct. There are several misnomers or untruths that the advocates propagate. First, from Biblical revelation, there is no such thing as "same sex" marriages that is approved or ever will be approved by God. For we that have been redeemed by the wonderful grace of Jesus, we know that marriage is bewtween a "man" and a "woman" that enter into a covenental relationship in accordance to the plan and design of our Creator. (Gen 2) Same sex relationships are condemned in Scripture and bring we believers to the conclusion that this condemnation cannot be altered nor lifted apart from the redemption that is in Christ Jesus (I Cor 6:1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, [10] Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. [11] And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. So, what man has created that is opposed to God, is never to be accepted nor adapted for a way of life. The second misnomer of the advocates of developing a sinful and spiteful culture is that Christians have to be "politically correct". What does that mean? To the advocates it means that we will speak their language, sing their song and negate the only truth that the world could ever know, the Word of the Living God. But we are determined to let God be true and every man a liar. The third misnomer is that the opponents of "same sex" marriage are afraid. May I ask, What is it that I am supposed to be afraid of? Perhaps its the idea, or perhaps its the people, or even the potential effects of such a travesty. I tell you that we are not afraid. We serve a Holy God, a Sovereign God that has decreed, called, chosen and ordained long before the world was. His Word is forever settled, His judgement is upon the individuals that would add or take from. There are things about this endeavor that I think are foolish, so let the fools be foolish, that's what they do. But let the righteous be and do righteously for that is what they are to be and do. Let God be true and every man a liar. Conclusively, there is no such thing of "same sex" marriages, God will not recognize nor honor this sinful endeavor of sinful man regardless of its human advocates. Now the plea for the unrighteous to come to the Savior who gave His life a ransom for many. If any want a true relationship with God, you must know the love of God. This is the relationship that ought to be a priority with all men and women. For the saved, we praise Him for delivering us from our sin. For such were some of you but His redemption changed our entire being, desires and destiny. For this we praise God. No we are not afraid, we just love our God and His Word as well as those who need to have His salvation. The one fear that I would admit to having is that someone that I know would die in their sins and perish for all eternity. Jim Bledsoe
