“Swiftly and soon, more than a third of Americans will be living under legal same-sex marriage regimes …[National Organization for Marriage] seeks to educate the public about the consequences of same-sex marriage in Massachusetts, especially for children and people of faith.”
This is a quote taken directly from “The Threat to Marriage” on the National Organization for Marriage’s website. They explain “Why Marriage Matters” in three different ways – for Jews, for Catholics and for Protestants. This group doesn’t care if you believe in Jesus or not, which, ironically, is where Christians draw the line for whether or not you’re going to hell. They simply want you to fight an “attack on the fabric of marriage.”
Many claim that marriage is a Christian institution. This couldn’t be more wrong. As far as Christianity goes, marriage is a defect. As Edward Gibbon, in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, wrote, “The use of marriage was permitted only to his fallen posterity, as a necessary expedient to continue the human species, and as a restraint … on the natural licentiousness of desire.”
The Bible even states that being married can distract one from being able to fully worship God. Paul wrote, “It is good for a man not to marry. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs … But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world – how he can please his wife – and his interests are divided,” (1 Cor 7:32-34). The Bible also states that giving up all carnal pleasures, even between a married couple, is best:“There are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it,” (Matt 19:12).
