The Supreme Court of the United States, by a narrow 5-4 margin, legalized same-sex marriages recently after years of debate and deliberation. Gays and lesbians, as well as progressive politicians, took to the streets to celebrate this monumental decision. Our own commander-and-chief ordered that the White House be lit up in the rainbow colors, signifying his approval to the world.
While the Supreme Court of the United States declares that same-sex marriage is constitutionally legal, we must never forget that we have a far greater constitution, if you will (God’s Word), written by the Supreme Ruler of all (God Himself) who has declared sexual immorality, which includes homosexuality (and might I add, same-sex marriage) Scripturally unconstitutional – SIN! And folks, His Laws cannot be changed. The Divine plan for marriage, one man-one wife for life was mandated by our Creator from the beginning for all of mankind- past, present and future (cf. Gen. 1:27ff; 2:18ff; Mat. 19:3ff)! Same-sex marriage is a deviation from this Divine mandate. It is unauthorized, sinful and destructive. One need only to be reminded of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah (cf. Gen. 18:1ff; Ezek. 16:49-50; Jude 7; Isa. 3:9). Sodomy is an abomination (cf. Lev. 18:22ff; 20:10ff). The practice of such is unholy, unnatural, unhealthy, and ungodly, and it will keep one out of heaven if left unforgiven and repented of (cf. Rom. 1:24-28; 1 Cor. 6:9-11).
The Constitution of the United States, as great as it is, will not be the standard by which I or any other person will be judged on the last day. The Standard by which all will one day be judged is God’s Word (John 12:48); thus, all must adhere to it or face His wrath (cf. 2 The. 1:7-9)!
