When Opinions Become Laws

I cannot remember a time when the family has been under attack as relentlessly as it is today. It is one thing to have muddled anti-biblical views on subjects as abortion, homosexuality, and morality as Mrs. Laura Bush has expressed in her new book. It is a whole different ball game when these views are enacted into laws as the Obama administration has been doing of late.

On May 28, 2010, for the first time in history, a U.S. President declared the month of June to be "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender" month. To be clear, former President Bill Clinton designated a month to recognize gays and lesbians during his term in office. But President Obama widened his insult on the biblical family by including bisexuals and transgender.

To add insult to injury, in his declaration, Obama also called for the repeal of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. That act was voted upon by congress and signed into law by President Clinton requiring the Federal Government to define marriage as "a union between one man and one woman." The danger of this possible repeal could nullify all of the states' laws that prohibit gay marriages.

What most people, including some younger Christians, fail to understand is that Christians are not homophobes or gay-haters. The gay lobbyists like to falsely accuse us of being motivated by hate toward these groups. The truth of God's Word clarifies that we are people lovers, but are sin haters.

This whole homosexual debate boils down to this: God created a man and a woman to anatomically fit. He created them for fellowship and for procreation. When a person chooses other forms of sexual expression, they are basically shaking their fist at God and saying: "I don't like the way you created me so I will choose a person of my own gender instead."

While every person with free will has the ability to choose what he/she wants, as lovers of people we are obligated to warn them of the consequences of their choices...and that is it.

But there is a world of difference between a person who chooses to go against God's created order and the government (which is of the people, by the people, and for the people) enforcing these rebellious choices against God's created order. You may be asking, "How come?"

Stay tuned...in my next blog I will tell you more.
