Here is a recent headline and excerpt from an Associated Press news report:
“Presbyterian Church Leaders Declare Gay Marriage Is Christian
DETROIT — The top legislative body of the Presbyterian Church in America voted by large margins Thursday to recognize same-sex marriage as Christian in the church constitution, adding language that marriage can be the union of “two people,” not just “a man and a woman.”
Wow! I could not believe this when I read it. These leaders of the Presbyterian Church and supposed leaders within the Christian religion have decided to overrule the Creator, Almighty Yahweh, and His Holy Scriptures in order to conform to this world’s acceptance of what Yahweh calls “an abomination”. This ruling may certainly be described as “Christian”, but it certainly is not Biblical or Scriptural.
Yahweh said;
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination. (Leviticus 18:22 KJV)
This verse alone rules out any possibility that two men can marry and have sexual relations. By extension, it rules out the same for two women.
The Apostle Paul wrote;
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. (Romans 1:24-27 NASB)
Those Presbyterian leaders exalt their own will over the Creator’s will and they exalt their own understanding over that of the Apostle Paul.
Homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of Yahweh. He is disgusted by it, which is what “abomination” means. Such acts will be judged come judgment day. Those who condone such abominations will be judged along with those that commit the abominable acts.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:19)
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 NASB)
If homosexuality is forbidden in the Bible, then “gay marriage” is also forbidden. The Word of Yahweh, the Holy Scriptures, stands firm as a guide for holy living and is the primary means to know the will of our Creator for His people. It is to be followed rather than following the will of deceived men who have forsaken Yahweh’s ways.
