Is gay marriage wrong?

04 Jun

This is an interesting question.  I find it interesting because we as Christians do not find nearly as intriguing the availability of pornography, availability of alcohol, the availability of drugs. We petition and cry out to the government when homosexuals get married, but we talk about how it is just a shame that these aforementioned materials and substances are available, yet do not attack it with the same fiery intensity.
Now to my point. I do not suggest that we cease in believing that these things are wrong. However, I do believe that we need to rethink them as Christians. I would submit that we make ourselves look terrible and bring the name of our Lord into disrepute when we fight for our right to control those who want to live in sin. Yes we call it sin, but does God control them and make them obey him? No, never, God allows mankind to make their choices whether good or bad. We are to be in the world but not of the world, therefore why do we attempt to attack a spiritual problem by natural means? I think it has to do with our unbelief in the power of Jesus Christ to transform lives. Why should we react with such hostility to Gay marriage? As Christians we are to love every kind of sinner, and this is not in a condescending, smug, hateful way.
I would say that to hold pickets, and attack congress is a measly attempt at controlling sin to make us feel more comfortable. Rather we should love every kind of man, and when we draw lines such as God hates the sin, but loves the sinner before we actually love is a fallacy. It is not a fallacy because it is untrue, but it is a fallacy because love should have no limit instead of drawing the line before we really know what the love of God is. The love of God is this that Jesus Christ died to save sinners, and we did not love him first, but he loved us first. Even a couple disciples during Jesus time on earth said “should we call down fire to consume them,” about a few people who were speaking against Jesus, and Jesus said “You do not know what spirit you are of.” Lets have the mind of Christ and focus on love for those that we call sinners in a real way, not just sentimentally, but in a real tangible way.
