Gay Marriage is Sin!

"Ye that love the LORD, hate evil..." —Psalm 97:10

Any child knows that God created Adam and Eve; NOT, Adam and Steve! The very notion of two homosexuals getting married is repulsive and disgusting. In Romans 1:26 God calls homosexual "love"... vile affections, i.e., morally reprehensible affections.

God's Word condemns homosexuality, which is why Sodomites today are relentlessly trying to corrupt the Bible. Romans 1:25 told us they'd do this, "Who changed the truth of God into a lie..."

Gay marriage is NO marriage at all in the eyes of God. Mark 10:9 plainly states that marriages are made in Heaven... "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

God will not honor a sinful marriage between two lesbians or homosexuals. The entire idea of same-sex-unions (i.e., gay marriage) is foolish, absurd, and most of all, unbiblical. We are a spiritually destitute people in America!

One of the best secular arguments against homosexual marriages is the fact that a child NEEDS both a male and female role image in their developmental stage. For a child to grow up healthy and normal, BOTH male and female parental roles are required. A child who grows up with two lesbian parents, will grow up warped and confused, having been denied the privilege of a NORMAL home. Homosexuality is NOT an alternative lifestyle; but rather, a sinful lifestyle. It's not "a new kind of family" as the TV networks propagate; but is in reality a sinful kind of family.

Homosexuality is a horrible sin, which brought the destruction of God upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Although some people have pointed out to me that God destroyed Sodom for other sins besides homosexuality (Ezekiel 16:49), Jude 1:7 plainly states that God destroyed Sodom for sexual sins, including that of going after "strange flesh" (a clear reference to the unnatural behavior of homosexuality).

Furthermore, Genesis 19:1-9 gives us explicit details about an angry mob of homosexuals in Sodom, who were about to break down Lot's front door and rape the male guests (i.e., the angels). Genesis 19:4 reveals that Sodom was saturated with homosexuals... "But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter." Sodom was known as a city of queers; hence the term, "sodomite." In addition, Romans Chapter one is a solid indictment against the sin of homosexuality. The fact that two homosexuals cannot produce natural children is evidence enough, that something is VERY WRONG AND UNNATURAL with being a homosexual. Homosexuality is a sin, which has led to the CRAZY practice of artificial insemination. Please read, Gay Men and Lesbians Utilizing Infertility Clinics to Have Babies.

Think about how immoral and crazy this is! Two lesbians get married, and then pay a complete stranger, a man, to donate his sperm to artificially inseminate one or both of the women in a medical clinic. So while the two lesbians are having lesbian sex, their babies are the result of artificial insemination by a man they'll probably never even meet. How crazy is that? Then there's the case of two homosexual men living together, who pay a woman to be artificially inseminated with one of their sperm cells, so they can be fathers? Folks, this stuff belongs on The Outer Limits! It just goes to show that when mankind disobeys God's Word, things get crazy.

The Tyranny of Judges Thomas Jefferson’s worst nightmare seems to have come to pass. Jefferson was very concerned that judges would become despots and overrule the rights of the people. In 1820, he wrote to a friend, “You seem to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions, a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so.” Jefferson realized that the Constitution protects the will of the people, not the opinions of judges. But instead of protecting the people’s vote on Proposition 8, Judge Walker used his judicial office to promote the agenda of a small minority who want to change the definition of marriage. The definition of marriage, instituted by God and practiced by every culture since the creation of man, is under attack in America today. There is no discrimination against homosexuals in America with regard to marriage, no unequal treatment. Homosexuals are equally as free to marry as any other American. Their problem is that the definition of marriage itself requires every person to marry someone of the opposite sex. The fact that homosexuals don’t want to enter into marriage as it has always been defined doesn’t give them the right to use the courts to change that definition to suit their wishes. Changing the definition of marriage, as Judge Walker has done, undermines the most important building block of any society. Judge Walker described the “ability to marry” as a fundamental right that cannot be denied to gays and lesbians. But this conclusion is complete and utter nonsense. Every society in history has placed restrictions on the “ability to marry.” You can’t marry your sister. You can’t legally be married to two or three people at the same time. You can’t marry someone who is already married. And you can’t marry someone of the same sex. Marriage by definition involves two people of opposite sexes who are—theoretically, at least—biologically capable of reproducing and forming families.

Gay Marriage... Civil Union

by J. Domínguez, M.D.| July 2003



Gay Unions in Canada, USA, Netherlands, Belgium, Europe, Argentina, Chile:

In Canada:

Homosexual activists scored a major victory with the announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien that he would propose a bill to legalize gay marriage throughout the country. Currently, only Belgium and the Netherlands recognize same-sex marriages... Canada could be the third country to do so (June, 2003).

Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec already sided with homosexual unions... Chrétien said the federal government would not appeal any of the provincial court rulings, and would draft legislation to recognize gay unions, the Globe and Mail reported June 18, 2003.

Nine of Canada's 10 provinces will accept the extension of marriage to same-sex couples. The the only holdout is Alberta.

An Ontario appeals court last week declared Canada's definition of marriage, as the union of a man and woman invalid, and changed it to a union between two people. The court ordered legalization of same-sex marriages. By Tuesday, June 17, 2003, 12 gay couples had been granted marriage licenses in Windsor, with at least one wedding taking place. Three of the 12 couples were American.

Suburban Detroit residents Jennifer Paty and Erin James are among those planning to head to Windsor, just across the river from Detroit, to seek a marriage license. They just need to do some paperwork required in Canada, certifying James' divorce 15 years ago.

In the USA:

Homosexual marriage lacks full legal recognition in all 50 states. Vermont recognizes civil unions that give homosexual couples the full benefits and responsibilities of marriage but are separate from legal marriage.

The Supreme Court on June 26, 2003, overturned a Texas law that banned gay sex, a landmark ruling for gay rights activists that overturned a decision the court made 17 years earlier.

In this case - Lawrence v. Texas - the two men at the heart of the case, John Geddes Lawrence and Tyron Garner, were each fined $200 and spent a night in jail for a misdemeanor sex charge when police forced their way into their apartment and found them having anal sex in 1998.

The men "are entitled to respect for their private lives," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority, "In our tradition the State is not omnipresent in our home... Liberty presumes an autonomy of self that includes freedom of thought, belief, expression, and certain intimate conduct."

Of the 13 states with sodomy laws, four — Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri — prohibit oral and anal sex between same-sex couples. The other nine ban consensual sodomy for everyone: Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah and Virginia.



Thursday's ruling apparently invalidates those laws as well.

The ruling could be used by gays and others to challenge a wide range of laws on the basis of a right to privacy:

After this ruling, laws criminalizing fornication, bigamy, adultery, adult incest, bestiality and obscenity cannot survive court review... and even it may open doors for "homosexual marriages or unions or contracts".

Whereas Judge Scalia sees this ruling as the first step in a downward spiral of judicial inconsistency and legislative disempowerment, Judge Kennedy sees it as the first step toward a more modern view of individualized freedom and liberty. Who is right? No one today can say. I suppose that's one of the many things that keeps the Supreme Court such a fascinating body to watch from term to term.

President Bush said on July 2, 2003, "What I do support is the notion that marriage is between a man and a woman."

Federal law defines marriage as between one woman and one man... a law on the books right now that passed with massive, overwhelming bipartisan majorities in 1996, Defense of Marriage Act.



I n Europe and Latin America:

The Netherlands and Belgium give full marriage rights to same-sex couples. Varying degrees of legal recognition already have been given to homosexual couples in France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Iceland, the New York Times noted June 15.

The push for gay unions is growing in Latin America too. Earlier this month, legislation to grant legal status to same-sex couples was introduced in Chile's Congress. In Argentina, authorities in Buenos Aires were poised to start processing petitions to recognize the same-sex unions within 60 days, the newspaper El Clarín reported May 20. The move follows a decision made by city authorities last December.



Buenos Aires is the first Latin American capital to give same-sex couples a recognition: The city will extend to gay unions the same welfare and civil privileges given to marriages, with the exception of inheritance and adoption rights. (Only the federal government could grant homosexual couples the full legal status of marriage.) City authorities will maintain a register of the unions, which can be dissolved by mutual consent, or by the unilateral decision of one of the partners.



"Gay Marriage" and "Marriage" ... Civil Union, Gay Union, Homosexual Union or Contract:

Often people talks about "Gay Marriage" as a Marriage between two persons of the same sex.

However, most people call it "Civil Union" or "Gay Union" because a sexual relation between two persons of the same sex can never bear children... and to bear children is something very important for a regular Marriage.

In fact, the words "Gay Marriage" are actually a prostitution of the word "Marriage"... a Marriage with the full conscience of impossibility of the fruit of children?.

This is how God established Marriage in the first chapter of the first book of the Bible:

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." (Genesis 1:27-28).

God created human beings "Male and Female", with the specific purpose of bearing children, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth... and this was written in times of Moses about 4500 years ago.

Christian Marriage is a "Contract" between two persons of different sex, and a "Sacrament", the sign of something sacred and hidden, a visible sign of the love of God, a fountain of the blessings of God... a childless Christian Marriage is still a great blessing of God!

For a Jew or a Christian or a Muslim the words "Homosexual Marriage" are an abomination against what the Bible says and against the concept of Marriage in our civilization for thousands of years, including Hindus, Buddhists, and even Atheists...

Gay Marriage or Civil Union are Worthless:

A so called Gay Marriage or Civil Union is worthless in our society:

Because anybody can live officially together, of the same or different sex, 2 or 20... any 2 persons can have a bank account officially together, and have a house officially in the name of both persons, and make officially a testament for each other, anybody can adopt a child... and what else?... anybody can have sexual relations in private as he or she wants, any single or married person, and he or she is only responsible to his conscience and to God.

Homosexuality, Sodomy:

The story of Sodom and Gomorrah was deeply imbedded in Israelite tradition: It becomes a proverbial example as the extreme of depravity, not for the sexual orientation, but for boasting about it (Dt.32:32, Is.1:10, Jer.23:14, Ezk.16:46-56, Mt.10:15, 11:23, Lk.10:12, Apc.11:8).

And it also becomes a proverbial example of the anger and judgment of Yahweh (Dt.29:22f, Is.1:9, Jer.20:16, 49:18, 50:40, Lam.4:6, Am.4:11, Zp.2:9, Lk.17:29, 2Pt.2:6, Jd.7).

Homosexuality-Sodomy



Stance of Churches on Gay Marriage:

Most churches in Canada and the world oppose the decision to extend marital status to same-sex unions. Catholics, Muslims, Hindus and Orthodox Jews publicly declared their desire that the government maintain the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.



Presbyterians are also against the change, even if the Reverend Wayne Stretch, regional minister for the Presbyterian Synod of British Columbia, acknowledged the matter is causing "considerable angst within our church."



On behalf of Baptists, Bill Mains, director of ministries for the Baptist Union of Western Canada, said: "Our position has always been that we see marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others."



Anglicans are split over the issue, said Neale Adams, a spokesman for the Anglican Church of Canada, although he said that no priest in the denomination will preside over a homosexual "marriage" ceremony.



The only groups in Canada in favor are the United Church of Canada, the Canadian Unitarian Church, Buddhists, and a coalition of 25 rabbis from Reform Jewish congregations. Debate is continuing within the Reform Jewish movement, Canada's second-largest Jewish denomination.

Marriage as a public commitment between a man and a woman has profound cultural, religious and social significance. The State has a fundamental interest in this social institution where most children are procreated and nurtured and, according to recent statistics, continues to be the most stable environment in which to raise a family.

The president of the bishops' conference in Canada explained that the decision will also constitute discrimination against heterosexual marriage and the family, "which are thus deprived of their social and legal recognition as the fundamental and irreplaceable basis of society."

John Paul II, in a speech made Oct. 20, 2001, to participants in a prayer vigil commemorating the publication of "Familiaris Consortio," warned: "If we lose the conviction that the family founded on marriage cannot in any way be equated with other forms of emotional relationship, we undermine the very structure of society and its juridical foundation."

A large part of contemporary society looks sadly like that humanity which Paul describes in his Letter to the Romans:

It is composed "of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth" (Rom.1:18): having denied God and believing that they can build the earthly city without him, "they became futile in their thinking" so that "their senseless minds were darkened" (Rom.1:21); "claiming to be wise, they became fools" (Rom.1:22), carrying out works deserving of death, and "they not only do them but approve those who practice them" (1:32)... they not only do them, but they boast about them!

When conscience, this bright lamp of the soul (Mt 6:22-23), calls "evil good and good evil" (Is 5:20), it is already on the path to the most alarming corruption and the darkest moral blindness.



Marriage: Culture of Death... Culture of Life:

The greatest plague today in the world is not AIDS, with one in 1000 marriages; nor drugs, with 10 in 1000; nor alcohol, with 50 in 1000, nor abortion with 53 million abortions per year worldwide… the greatest plague today is marriage separations and divorces, with 300 in 1000 marriages, with the most serious consequences for millions of children.

The Culture of Death... and Culture of Life:

Our civilization, with so many scientific and technological advances, should be the Culture of life and love and truth... however it is sinking into a Culture of Death:

In addition to the ancient scourges of poverty, hunger, endemic diseases, natural disasters, violence and war, new threats are emerging on an alarmingly vast scale: Abortion , euthanasia (to kill the very poor or the handicapped, or the very ill or too old), a contraceptive mentality, sterilization, homosexuality, drugs, terrorism, murder...

The scandalous arms trade, which spawns the many armed conflicts which stain our world with blood, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions, where people are treated as mere instruments of gain rather than as free and responsible persons...

The promotion of certain kinds of sexual activity spreading AIDS, syphilis, herpes, hepatitis...besides being morally unacceptable, also involve grave risks to life...

Contraceptives do not reduce abortions but increase them: The contraceptive mentality--which is very different from responsible parenthood, lived in respect for the full truth of the conjugal act--are such that they in fact strengthen this temptation when an unwanted life is conceived.

Indeed, the pro- abortion culture is especially strong precisely where the Church's teaching on contraception is rejected. Certainly, from the moral point of view contraception and abortion are specifically different evils: the former contradicts the full truth of the sexual act as the proper expression of conjugal love, while the latter destroys the life of a human being; the former is opposed to the virtue of chastity in marriage, the latter is opposed to the virtue of justice and directly violates the divine commandment "You shall not kill"....despite the differences, contraception and abortion are often closely connected, as fruits of the same tree... of sin! Abortion: "Pro-Choice" and "Pro-Life"... God is Pro-Life!

The family in the modern world, as much as and perhaps more than any other institution, has been beset by the many profound and rapid changes that have affected society and culture.

To restore our civilization into a Culture of Life, we have first of all to restore the values of the Family in accordance with God's plan, the "sanctuary of life"... and a new Culture of Life will be affirmed, for the building of an authentic civilization of truth and love.

The Plan of God for Marriage:

Since the first book of the Bible the Plan of God for marriage is to be like "a piece of heaven on earth".

Gen.2:24, after creating Eve, says "this is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and they become one flesh". Marriage, therefore, are two persons in one flesh, which sounds a bit like the "Holy Trinity", "three persons, one God". And to be more like the Trinity, in a perfect marriage there should be "three persons in one flesh", and the three persons in marriage should be, the husband, the wife, and Jesus in the heart of both of them. Three persons in one flesh, a piece of heaven on earth!.

The big problem is that many marriages look like "a piece of hell on earth". And the reason is because the three persons in many marriages are the husband, the wife, and Satan in them… and where Satan is, there is misunderstandings, and separations, and divorces… the main plague of our times!.

If you have any serious difficulties in your marriage, try Jesus!… both of you, become good Christians, and most misunderstandings, separation and divorce problems will disappear. The "piece of hell on earth" will become a "piece of heaven on hearth".

When the sense of God is lost, the sense of man is also threatened and poisoned... Moreover, once all reference to God has been removed, it is not surprising that the meaning of everything else becomes profoundly distorted

There are however still many married couples who, with a generous sense of responsibility, are ready to accept children as "the supreme gift of marriage".

The Gospel of life is at the heart of Jesus' message... this Gospel of life, which the Church has received from the Lord, has a profound and persuasive echo in the heart of every person--believer and non-believer alike--because it marvelously fulfils all the heart's expectations while infinitely surpassing them.

The unconditional choice for life reaches its full religious and moral meaning when it flows from, is formed by and nourished by faith in Christ. Nothing helps us so much to face positively the conflict between death and life in which we are engaged as faith in the Son of God who became man and dwelt among men so "that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (Jn.10:10). It is a matter of faith in the Risen Lord, who has conquered death; faith in the blood of Christ "that speaks more graciously than the blood of Abel" (Heb.12:24).

The one who accepted "Life" in the name of all and for the sake of all was Mary, the Virgin Mother; she is thus most closely and personally associated with the Gospel of life. Mary's consent at the Annunciation and her motherhood stand at the very beginning of the mystery of life which Christ came to bestow on humanity (Jn 10:10). Through her acceptance and loving care for the life of the Incarnate Word, human life has been rescued from condemnation to final and eternal death.

The angel's Annunciation to Mary is framed by these reassuring words: "Do not be afraid, Mary" and "with God nothing will be impossible" (Lk.1:30, 37).

The Lamb who was slain is alive, bearing the marks of his Passion in the splendor of the Resurrection. He alone is master of all the events of history: he opens its "seals" (Rev.5:1-10) and proclaims, in time and beyond, the power of life over death. In the "new Jerusalem", that new world towards which human history is traveling, "death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away" (Rev.21:4).
