RE: PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO FORBID GAY MARRIAGE. WOULD GOD WANT US TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH SCRIPTURES BECOME CIVIL LAW AND WHICH DO NOT?


[+] serious ballot by mojo
created Wed Feb 02, 05

Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to defend Biblical marriage:

* Marriage in the USA shall consist of a union between one man and one or more women. (Gen 29: 17-28; II Sam 3: 2-5)

* Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take concubines in addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam 5:13; Kings 11:13; Chron 11:21)

* A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)

* Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25: 1-9; Neh 10:30; Cor 6:14)

*Since marriage is for life, neither the US Constitution nor any state shall permit divorce (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9-12)

* If a married man dies without children, his brother must marry the widow. If the brother refuses to marry the widow, or deliberately does not give her children, he shall be punished in a manner to be determined by the law. (Gen. 38:6; Deut 25:5-10)

Are we conveniently calling on the Bible to condemn gay marriage? Does this mean we should ignore some Bible passages in favor of others?

Yes: Gays are much more of an abomination than non-virgins.
No: clearly these Old Testament Scriptures are not meant to be taken literally in the 21st century.

IMO, if these people spent half as much time and energy on their own sins/ behaviours that they spending on the behaviours of others, the world would be a better place.

Actually the gay marriage amendment is one of the things I tend to disagree with Bush on but to my understanding both parties have alot of members supporting it, not to say that support makes it right.I think it's a distraction myself.

How many people truly follow religion to the letter ??? How many pick out the bits that they want and conveniently ignore the rest ??? I have absolutely no problem with gay marriage, if two people with to spend their lives together and cement that relationship with vows then surely in the free world they should have the right to do so.

Will someone PLEASE tell the Messiah that we're WAITING!?..a little help here Please...!

I look at the Bible as "the Word of God, as written by Man". For all we know, these men could've been up on a hilltop, toking their brains out while writing this all down, or they could've been out to put down no less than what thye believed the Word of God ought to say. Even to this day, most of us own the King James Version of the Bible, which is nothing more than ol' Jamie's attempt to do what I just said.

Sorry, wrong keystroke.

This "amendment" is nothing more than the same thing, Mankind trying to impose its own moral and ethical views on the masses. A better use of that Congressional time would be to create a decent health-care system for the country.
