The United States Constitution
Amendment 1 - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

God's Word
Matt 19:3 Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all ?" 4 And He answered and said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, 5 and said, 'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH '? 6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."


Mark 10:8 AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH ; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

Ephesians 5:31 FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife ; and they shall become one flesh.



Well here we are in election year again and we have the subject of gay marriage. My question to start off with about gay marriages how did the government get involved in a religious institution? Marriage is a religious right is not something the spilled onto us by the government. I keep hearing from politicians of both sides of the aisle that there is a separation between church and state. This separation is so wide that even a quote from the Bible cannot be read in public. But yet the institution of marriage which is a religious institution practiced in Judaism, Christianity and most other major religions is now been corrupted and taken over by the federal government. Congress has made laws and the court system has ruled on the institution of marriage. What's next or they going to tell us how we can perform baptism? As far as the practice of same-sex marriage the Bible is very clear in Matthew 19 Mark 10 In Genesis 2 that marriage is between a man and a woman and it is one man and one woman. It is also make clear of those verses that the purpose of marriage is to continue the species.

I don't know if it is true but I was told that the government first started licensing marriage to prevent interracial marriages. Apparently they had laws in the South that prohibited such marriages.

Quote from: Wikipedia
Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967),[1] was a landmark civil rights case in which the United States Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, declared Virginia's anti-miscegenation statute, the "Racial Integrity Act of 1924", unconstitutional, thereby overturning Pace v. Alabama (1883) and ending all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States.
