Christians: Why do you feel that the denial homosexual marriage is not unconstitutional?

Answer 1

So inflated is there sense of self-entitlement that they actually believe that they should get special rights while denying the to others.

Answer 2

Your question is a prime example of why there has been a traditional instruction of avoiding double-negatives. In this case, you have a triple-negaative and the "question" make no sense whatever.

I guess that you believe that an amendment to ban homosexual marriage would be unconstitutional and are asking why Christians might be on the other side of that question. The answer is that the Bible condemns homosexual practices and that, indeed, the U.S. constitution should be clarified to prevent activitst courts from subverting certain objectives of the majority of the founders of this Nation.

Answer 3

Where does anyone find the word "marriage" in the constitution?

I am a Christian and I don't believe homosexual marriage is unconstitutional...as long as the seperation of church and state remains, and pastors are not required to perform the ceremonies against their beliefs.

Maybe it's time for the church to draw a line between secular marriage and spiritual marriage...my Amish neighbors do not get marriage licenses from the state...are they not married in the eyes of God just because they don't have a piece of paper from the state? The virtual absence of divorce is a testament to their committment to the covenant of marriage.

Now I know we are supposed to follow the law of the land, but living under the same roof without a marriage certificate from the state has been legal for quite some time.

Think of the blessing this would be to senior citizens, who must forfeit hundreds of dollars a month in order to satisfy what to their belief is a moral issue.

"Legal marriage" sanctioned and "certified" by the state has little to do with the covenant prescribed by scripture. You could accomplish the same thing changing your name and creating a Living Will. The ease and frequency of divorce has made me think that without the spiritual bond and covenant, "secular" marriage really is just a piece of paper.

I'm not advocating "Living together." I'm just putting the idea out there that persons of faith may consider leaving the business of marriage in the church, rather than the state.

Answer 4

They have two reasons, from what I can tell.

1. Marriage is an economic deal, so it is impossible to escape some dealing with the government when talking about marriage. Since most in government are Christian, then they have some power to take away freedom from gay people.

2. The push for constitutionaly amendments and such is because, unlike with other marriage issues (e.g. divorce), the Christians have not managed to keep their view dominant. Divorce and gay marriage are both very good things, but the average person probably views divorce negatively and gay marriage positively. (This is because divorce is not a positive thing in *every* case.) Since societal pressue won't stop gay people from living their lives, the Christians try to force them, without realizing that they'd probably hardly ever hear about gay marriage at all if they just ignored it.

Answer 5

The problem isn't that homosexual marriage is or is not "constitutional". The problem is, it is impossible. It contradicts the definition of marriage. The state may allow homosexuals to go through the motions of marriage, but they will never actually be married, and they will never be recognized as married by the majority of rational people. And changing the definition of marriage won't help either. Changing a definition doesn't change the reality. It just makes the definition wrong.

Answer 6

As a Christian, I don't care about homosexual marriage at all, neither one way nor the other. As a Christian I am in the world, not of it, and it is not my commission to tell the world what it can or cannot do. I am an alien and a sojourner here. My commission is to present the Gospel of Christ in love so that those who hear it may choose to accept the truth or deny it. That's all. What this world chooses to do is not for me to judge. God doesn't ask me to approve it, and the world doesn't care if I approve or not. I am assured, by God, that things are going to continue to degrade, and this is another thing about which He was right.

Answer 7

well im not to much of a christian...but i know that its unfair to be exculded from rights and benifits just because youre GLBT...its in fact wrong...i think that so called "chirstians" feel that since the bible says...etc .etc. etc.. that its true,..lol...but thats another topic isn't?

Answer 8

Marriage is a sacrament and a holy union between man and woman ordained of God. Marriage is for bringing forth souls to worship God.

Homosexuality is simply raw chaotic meaningless lust. Why should the state honor such perversion?

Answer 9

People may do as they please. IF two men wish to live together that's up to them the same for women, but..... If you want to hop on one leg all your life that is up to you, but do not try to get the rest of the world to call "hopping on one leg" walking, it is not. No matter how much you want it to be

Answer 10

Because they're religion is the best religion and their religion says so! Why should WE have freedom of religion. My religion recognizes it, but MY religion doesn't get the legal freedom of having it. But somehow, some way, they see that as freedom of religion.
