“Same-sex knots are a marriage too far"     18/2/13

 

Sir,

Following the shameful approval of same-sex marriage by 400 dizzy MP's in Parliament, there has been an onslaught of ridicule, mockery and scoffing comments hurled at everyone who has, and rightly so, opposed this decision, and who continue to disapprove of these bizarre unions.

Despite the “ayes” of MP’s the majority doesn’t want them and that’s public knowledge. MPs have brazenly ignored the 640,574 signatures, presented to them by the Coalition for Marriage campaign group, of those not wishing to refine marriage.This is both disgraceful and undemocratic.

There is no question that the UK Government is guilty of gross political immorality. Whatever anyone says, the sanction of these relationships is a deeply serious matter and will have inevitable repercussions for Christians, at least those of them who are genuine and not counterfeits.

Sincere Bible-believing Christian will always disapprove and condemn sin, whatever name you give it: - adultery, murder, fornication, drunkenness, lying etc.The sin of homosexuality will not be excluded as the Bible does clearly not support it.

The evidence, for those who have eyes to see it, is in Lev 18v22, 20v13, 1 Corinthians 6v9-10 and Romans 1v26-28. The absolute truth of God’s word can never be altered or distorted about what it unambiguously states about it.God cannot be edited.

The practice is a sin needs to be repented of, the same as any other sin, and the only way to receive forgiveness is through the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sadly, our society does not rely on the Bible for its moral truth. Instead it relies on humanistic and relativistic morals upon which it builds its ethical structures, as we’ve all been an eyewitness to of late.

Anyone with any common sense can surely see that political protection of a sexual practice is ridiculous. Common sense tells us that it is improper to pass laws stating that homosexuals have 'rights' to have sex with one another and then redefine marriage to include their views. If they can do that, then where will it end? What about paedophilia or bestiality? These are also sexual practices. Should they, too, be protected by law? If homosexuality is protected legally, why not those as well?

Although true marriage can never be redefined, it is damaging and destructive to see British MP’s trying to slaughter it through its equality agenda of political correctness. People forget that this already happened in the UK, at an unimaginable, scandalous and tragic cost. In 1966, when Parliament was debating a bill over the Abortion Act, Mr David Steele, the architect of the abortion law, said: “It is not the intention of the promoters of the Bill to leave a wide open door for abortion on request.”

I don’t need to tell you how wide the door of slaughter opened. Since the Act became law in 1968, 7.5 million abortions have been carried out throughout the UK (up until the end of 2011), 98% of which were for “social” reasons. The % rate may be higher but this has been at least 98% of "abortions too far."

Last week Education Secretary Michael Gove shelved his flagship plans to scrap GCSEs, admitting they were a "bridge too  far."  Hopefully members of the House of Lords, along with all our dizzy politicians, will yet have the humility, decency and common sense to see that these same-sex knots are a "marriage too far" and deserve to be thrown "far" past and over London bridge...for good.
