SAN DIEGO, April 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- I am grieved over the continued efforts of the homosexual community to suppress the natural family with their opposition to California's Proposition 8. From their perspective, their perceived right to marry is being withdrawn because of the recent majority vote of the people of California to make marriage only between one man and one woman. Remarkably, they see this assault on their perceived right to marry the same sex, as a civil right, likening their struggle with those who wanted to marry a person of a different race. Even San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders said that "Proposition 8 puts all minority groups at risk." But are we to believe that those who practice deviant behavior should be given the same sympathy status as the black man who was killed for loving a white woman?
Is it a fair comparison to liken those born with skin color or a particular ethnicity with those caught in the immoral bondage of homosexuality? No, in fact, it is belittling to the plight of those who genuinely deserved equal protection under the law regarding marriage many years ago. A function of good government should demand that its laws do not affirm nor encourage unnatural sexual practice for the good of its citizens, especially its children. We have been endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, but it is blasphemous to consider the government's role to protect the right of doing what is sinful.
Without consideration of morality, on the face of it, their feelings of discrimination would seem warranted and real; nonetheless their actions are demeaning to the sanctity of true marriage between one man and one woman. Without even knowing it, they are suppressing the survival of the natural family.
How many children are not born because people decided to engage in homosexual relations as a way of life? How many people were told to experiment with their sexuality, only to be lured into a perverted sexual practice they now want to escape and seem powerless to do so? When homosexuals boast how many partners they have had or the large numbers of people engaging in homosexuality, are they not boasting in the erosion of potential families?
Are they not ignorantly boasting of a life that is headed for the judgment of hell itself?
How many young children have to be fatherless because their fathers were simple sperm donors for lesbians? How many people will see that if anyone can marry, then marriage will become meaningless, creating many more broken homes for children across America? Why must I state the obvious? How can they even conceive that it is normal to marry the same sex? Part A is not supposed to go into Part B. It's unhealthy and counter productive to the stability of the human family.
If the majority of same sex couples truly knew what it was to have a loving and monogamous relationship, why was it that only a fraction of that community pursued marriage when it was legal? Apparently it wasn't about getting married as much as it was to own another piece of normal American life. It wasn't enough to have equal treatment at work or acceptance in the church; they wanted to redefine the family into their own image.
We must understand that one of the major goals of the homosexual community in this fight for marriage is the widespread societal acceptance of their immoral way of life; and sadly they want to drag innocent children into the equation. But studies have shown that there is a very real need for a female Mother and a male Father in the home, which creates the best environment for a child's own emotional well being. Adoptive children should be put into homes in which the child is given the full compliment of a male and female parent. Unfortunately there are even cases in which city adoption agencies are giving preferential treatment to homosexuals over available heterosexual couples; all in the name of tolerance. And it is tragic that children are allowed to be raised by homosexual parents who face shortened life spans from their lifestyle.
How many precious people in the gay community have to be sickened, domestically abused or die prematurely before they realize they are destroying themselves and their community, even leaving their children in the wake of their misled lives?
A once concealed research study shows that a child who is brought up in a homosexual home may have a 4 to 10 time's greater likelihood of developing a non-heterosexual preference than other children. But is it a really loving thing for a parent to expose children to the predominantly damaging lifestyle of homosexuality? If homosexuality can be learned, what does that say about the argument that people are born that way? It is not fair, nor right for children to be misled into an immoral lifestyle.
It cannot be stressed enough that to open the door to allow homosexual couples to marry would inevitably make it legal for any number of other aberrant, perverted relationships that are given the State stamp of approval. That kind of approval is already being forced into the minds and hearts of young children in the public schools of America, who are indoctrinated against their wills with the wicked beliefs of state sponsored hedonism.
The homosexual community is already afforded many marital benefits that should have only been afforded to heterosexual couples. For thousands of years heterosexual couples have been selected by God to insure the greatest survival of the human family through procreation, faith in God and the compliment of their differing gender. We clearly see this in the pages of the Holy Scriptures.
As President of Biblical Family Advocates I implore Pastors and Christians in obedience to Christ to affirm in no uncertain terms the sanctity of marriage in the church and in the community. This commitment will be seen in their continued practice of standing against same sex marriage, forsaking divorce and raising up godly children with the Word of God. But there is an equal need for the Christian community to lovingly win the homosexual to Christ. The generations to come, await our God fearing reply to this moral and spiritual crisis.
