MORALISTS HAPPY RE CALIF NO-HOMO-NUPS
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
The California Assembly says nix to homosexual “marriage.”
Homosexuals and their advocates were anticipating the lawmakers passing a bill supporting their same-gender nuptials. However, the Assembly did just the opposite.
If the lawmakers had gone the way of the homosexuals, then California would have become the first state in the USA to “legalize same-sex ‘marriage’ without a court order,” according to The Washington Times’ Cheryl Wetzstein.
More and more, America is coming to its moral senses. The biblical definition of marriage is the traditional definition which is both sane and ethical. Any other is sinful and asking for divine judgment.
With the Red States win last November, more and more moralists are courageous enough to come to the fore for what is right, not only regarding the definition of marriage but other moral measures as well. With United States President George W. Bush professes himself to be a Christian, believers in particular are becoming more aggressive in putting in place the moral base for our country.
Theological liberals such as those within the United Church of Christ (Congregational), Lutheran Church of America and the Episcopal Church of America, are endorsing apostasy such as proclaiming the divine blessing upon same-gender “marriages.” However, the biblical block within the Christian church stands firm against the theological apostasy of some of the mainline denominations.
Political liberals are becoming more and more recessive in their fight for secularizing America. They look to a secularized Europe and envision America being of like immoral foundation. However, believers, knowing the intentions of the liberals — both theological and political — are fighting day and night to salvage the moral heritage of America.
Liberals in America should witness the demise of the European Union in recent days. All along believers in Europe asked for God to be mentioned in the EU constitution; however, secularized leadership adamantly wrote the piece with no mention of the divine.
Now the EU is collapsing with various nations voting against the new constitution. Christians understand such a demise to have a divine hand in it.
With California now taking its stand for what is ethically right, Christians will continue to advocate for moral decency, knowing full well that liberals of both religious and political stripe will attempt to undo what has been accomplished.
Some refer to all of this as a “culture” war. However, believers know it to be far more than a culture war. It equals the forces of right against wrong, God against Satan, an immoral society versus a morally based society. It is a spiritual war first and foremost.
“Conservatives cheered the bill's demise, but warned that ‘more attacks’ on traditional marriage are coming.
“Californians must pass ‘a true-blue state constitutional amendment’ to protect marriage from politicians and judges, said Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families.
“But Geoffrey Kors, executive director of Equality California, said homosexual-rights advocates should be pleased that the Assembly vote, while disappointing, was ‘the farthest’ a same-sex ‘marriage’ bill had ever gotten in a state legislature without court-ordered action. His group was one of 200 that supported the bill.
“A group called the Voters' Right to Protect Marriage Initiative plans a petition drive next month to put a marriage amendment before voters in 2006. The group will need to collect more than 1 million signatures in five months.
“The proposed marriage amendment defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman and repeals some of the rights unmarried couples are now allowed under California's domestic-partnership law.”
Stay tuned.
