Comments on: How do we respond to the legalization of gay marriage? http://ggcrc.mattng.com/2008/05/16/how-do-we-respond-to-legalization-of-gay-marriage/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:59:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Matthew Ng http://ggcrc.mattng.com/2008/05/16/how-do-we-respond-to-legalization-of-gay-marriage/#comment-7 Matthew Ng Mon, 19 May 2008 17:45:34 +0000 http://ggcrc.mattng.com/?p=28#comment-7 Certainly we should respond with humility in knowing that God is sovereign and in control of the changes of this world. However, even if the Christian voice as a whole is not clear on the issue of homosexuality, scripture is certainly very clear. John MacArthur gives a great list of scripture in which God condemns it as a sin: <blockquote>God’s condemnation of homosexuality is abundantly clear—He opposes it in every age. - In the patriarchs (Genesis 19:1-28) - In the Law of Moses (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13) - In the Prophets (Ezekiel 16:46-50) - In the New Testament (Romans 1:18-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Jude 7-8)</blockquote> Abraham Piper's response is what I think our response of humility should be. It should be viewed in that homosexuality is a sin, just like divorce, pornography and adultery are. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 Certainly we should respond with humility in knowing that God is sovereign and in control of the changes of this world.

It is not as though we have been studying human sexuality for very long, not as though the Christian voice is clear and unambiguous on these issues, and not as though Christian marriage and what goes on at the justice of the peace are the same thing. here's a <a href="http://www.chrismc.net/2006/01/homsexual_quest.html" rel="nofollow">link</a> where I write more …with humility, to start with.
