Same -Sex Marriage - Politically Correct or Biblically Correct?

6/2/2014

 
The Scottish Government have voted overwhelmingly (105 to 18) to legalise same-sex marriages. This is in the face of massive public opposition after the Scottish Government's biggest public consultation -over 77,000 responses. Over two thirds of Scots oppose the proposals but by the end of the year, the first same-sex weddings are likely to take place. The Health Secretary said it was one of Parliament 'great historic days'. The deputy first minister announced ' We live in a Parliamentary democracy and Parliament will make the decisions'  This type of democracy only works for politicians and gives them carte blanche to ride roughshod over the 'will of the people'. While many of the public voted against this for religious reasons (not only Christian), others voted against it because it wasn't the norm and they agree with marriage being one man and one woman. Common sense! Even many of the gay community are not in favour of this change and wonder why Parliament has spent so much time and energy (and finance) to push this legislation through while there are so many issues in society needing addressed-homelessness, employment, education, health, economy-power bills spiralling, choice between heating and eating, just to name a few issues.
As Christians, we believe in the inerrant Word of God, which takes precedence over any equality or political correctness. We must stay true to biblical teachings which are God's way of ensuring the individual, and therefore, society, benefits by knowing God's plan for our lives-plans as he says to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us a hope and a future ( Jeremiah 29;11-12). But to experience this, God says we must 'call' on Him-ie seek Him with all our heart, and He will answer.
Do you want a hope and a future in God- I do. But with a Parliament that only seeks self glory, how will they ever call and listen to God, when they don't even listen to the people they represent. Pray for those Christians MSPs who are standing up for truth. Pray for their protection and that their voices will be heard.
