As a Christian, I can follow God’s way or the world’s way. I choose to follow God’s way. Therefore, I have read, studied, and understood the Bible as God’s Holy Word. If you do not believe the Bible is God’s Word and don’t have a Christian faith or worldview, you will not understand what I’m writing. Only a true Christian can understand because true Christians always want to think and do things God’s way. So let's think of God's way and understand that homosexual marriage is not marriage. That reality being set in stone as a jumping-off point, let’s look at what a marriage is and is not.
What is a Marriage
Marriage is a covenant relationship and ceremony celebrated between one man and one woman as they proclaim their vows to each other, those present, and God. Marriage is a covenant or a legally, morally, and spiritually binding contract between one man and one woman until death parts them. It is a ceremony that commemorates the union of one man with one woman until death parts them. The vows are not to be taken lightly but steadfastly adhered to until death parts you.
Please remember that this is the ideal that every Christian married couple should recognize. Life happens, and mistakes are made. Divorce happens, and, in any case, other than adultery, it is a sin. But it is not an unpardonable sin. You can repent of the sin of divorce just like you can repent of murder, adultery, fornication, or theft. We are to repent “and sin no more.” John 8:11
Homosexual Marriage is Not Marriage
God invented and ordained marriage as a holy covenant between one man and one woman. Therefore, by God’s definition, a marriage can only be between one man and one woman. You must usurp God’s authority and redefine marriage to call same-sex unions a “marriage.” The problem with that is you are not God! People who have the self-centered audacity to claim they know better than God are not Christians. They may think they are, but they are Luciferian. In other words, they choose their own will over God’s will, which is Lucifer’s sin. Lucifer wanted to be his own god and be the god of all. Christians must always do things God’s way. No one can redefine marriage because God’s definition of marriage is unchangeable for all Christians. Genesis 2:24
Now, if you are not a Christian, you can redefine things in a willy-nilly fashion at your leisure. Still, it leaves you with an ambiguous, undefinable existence of constant annoying micro changes. I prefer the constancy and reliability of obedience to God by obeying Biblical scripture. Christians have a steadfast truth to live by that is unchangeable. You must deviate from Christian orthodoxy and slip into Satanism to question God’s commandments and precepts. In other words, redefining marriage is an act of your will in rebellion against God – Satanism.
What Are Same-Sex Unions
First and foremost, they are abominations. I didn’t say that; God did, and as a Christian, I agree with God. Leviticus 18:22, Romans 1:24-32, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
“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, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 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.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Repentance of the sin of homosexuality will reconcile you with God, but it must be true repentance – turning away from that sin and rejecting it at all costs. Remember, according to God, homosexuality is not normal or natural; it is sinful.
Homosexual Marriage is Not Marriage: Conclusion
Homosexual marriage is not marriage; it's a union and cannot be defined as marriage according to God and the Holy Bible. The fact that these relationships even exist demonstrates the depravity of humankind. As humans, if we can sin, we will sin unless we purposefully obey Biblical scripture to the best of our ability. Even then, we still occasionally sin. The quest is to sin less and less each year of your life in a quest for holiness. But please remember that this happens after you are saved by grace through your faith in Christ alone. We don’t work our way into heaven; we are saved, and then we get to work on our ever-increasing sanctification - our quest for righteousness and holiness.
Homosexuality prevents you from being redeemed, justified, sanctified, and born-again. Homosexuals will not ever see heaven, which is sad. I love and care about every human, without regard for the type of sin they are perpetrating or the egregious nature of their sin. I love them so much that I am willing to tell them they are sinning while lovingly trying to convince them to repent. I want everyone I meet to end up in heaven. Unfortunately, no unrepentant sinner will ever enter heaven and the eternal grace of God.
