Threats, Intimidation, Deceit

Ammendment One Opponents Are Saying: a) That the Ammendment itself is worded in a way that is confusing. (What is it that they dont get? "Marriage between on man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be vaalid or recognized in this State.") Doesnt appear to be difficult to understand to any one that can read. b) That Ammendment One is unnecessary, since homosexual marriage is already illegal in North Carolina. (Knowing that a good liberal judge/court has been able to change this in other states and that an ammendment to the constitution could not be so lightly and liberrally treated.) c) That Passage of Ammendment One would unfairly remove basic civil right from some citizens. ( Do they mean the right of some to engage in homosexual marriage? No one, in the history of the world has ever had that right. They have created yet another new "right". d) That Passage of Ammendment One will hurgt the economy of North Carolina. (Fact: American Legislative Exchange Council: Rank states by economic performance and outlook: Eight ofthe top ten performing states have marriage ammendments whereby none have legalized homosexual marriages. Nine of the ten states forecast to have the poorest economic growth have legalized homosexual marriage. Now the truth concerning the possibilities of invalidating domenstic violence laws, nullifying medical power of attorney, wills and trusts, child custody and visitation rights. The answwer to all of the preceeding is a resounding "NO", "NO"! Think about the "How". This Ammendment will not affect the legal aspects of any of these. Now, how deceitful do the opponents want to be? Seemingly as deceitful as necessary to have homosexual relationships legalized by redefining marriage. One thing they will never accomplish is the altering of God's Word. What He has said He has meant and meant to be forever. I rest in His Word and His Word alone. Threats, insults, intimidations, and deceit are to be expected from an immoral society or culture. Christians are expected to be Christians and stand for the Word of God. Someone once said: A man who stands for nothing will probably fall for anything.

Same Sex Marriage

A simple way to summarize the Bible's teaching on sexuality is to begin with God's blessing is only withing the marriage covenant between a man and a woman. Sex outside that covenant relationship is expicitly forbidden, regardless of the alternative expressions form. Every believer knowsthat prohibitions are for our good. The Bible prohibits all same sex acts and behaviors. Therefore we know that homosexuality is a sin and to bless it or approve of it is sin as well. Marriage is a public institution. Historically societies have granted special recognition and privileges to marriage because it is the central organizing institution of all society. Marriage regulates relationships, sexuality, human reproduction, lineage, kinship, as well as family structure. Marriage regulates morality. This Ammendment One issue is about the redefining of reproduction and parenthood. It means that the replacement of something that has been the "social" order by the adoption of a new morality. All of this chaos simply because sinful man refuses to accept the true love of the true God. That by repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that men must be saved from their sins. May God grant mercy to the unbeliever that he would believe God and take God at His Word.
