This is all about our government discriminating and not about some biblical words that are sacred or not. Churches can keep the word marriage, but all references to marriage in all government documents would then have to be changed so that GLBT people will not be singled out and discriminated against by the goverment. Separate but equal hasn't worked for decades. <BR/><BR/>Besides, what are you afraid of?<BR/><BR/>RoxanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939853.post-64787220826248691172008-11-13T15:50:00.000-05:002008-11-13T15:50:00.000-05:00I read an article yesterday that the Church Of Jes...I read an article yesterday that the Church Of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints' board members are talking with gay/ activists in coming up with alternatives to the term "Marriage". And rightly so. This isn't an issue of discrimination, it's about the fact that "Marriage" is a biblical ideal written in Scripture as being between a man and a woman. <BR/><BR/>The pro 8 supporters really don't have a problem with the homosexuals rights to be united. That IS their personal choice. If they can come up with an alternative term for their commitment towards one another, other than that which was bound and instituted in the Bible, than by all means, let them be united or joined or stated as domestic partners, even write it into the laws that they as domestic partners have benefits and rights in case of death, health issues and so on.<BR/><BR/>But don't take a Holy and Biblical term as "What God has joined together" in Holy Matrimony, that being Marriage... again instituted by God.. and make it blasphemous. <BR/><BR/>I wouldn't go and commit adultery and then expect the biblical laws to be rewritten to suit my lustful act. The same goes with murder or robbery. These are all written in the bible as SINS. Homosexuality is a sin. It's the choice of the homosexual to live that life.. so they shouldn't expect certain of Gods blessings or entitlements be given to them. As in declaring a "Marital" status.<BR/><BR/>BUT.. governmentally, it can and should be declared something else.. with entitlements.<BR/><BR/>And it is not the same as discrimination against blacks, hispanics, or other diversities. Being of color is not a sin!<BR/><BR/>This isn't a discrimination issue!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590176439761243071noreply@blogger.com
