In todays society, the issue of same-sex marriage has become a pawn in the game of politics. So much, the continued debates uprising on rather same-sex couples should be given the right to marry or not, has escalated into public marches along city streets all around North America. But why is this happening? Doesn't the  U.S. Constitution give same-sex couples the right to marriage as it does heterosexual couples?

 

As mentioned in the previous lesson, the United States Constitution gives all citizens of the U.S. of A. the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In fact,  Congress shall make no law depriving anyone of their right to peaceably assemble. Therefore, same-sex couples have a right to join together in holy matrimony, because it is actually peaceably assembling( two or more people joined together).

 

In fact, the IX Amendment states: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." And, Amendment XIV states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

 

However, despite these Amendments, same-sex couples are being prohibited from joining together in holy matrimony, based  solely on a majority vote against it. Many believe this issue continues getting the run-around because religious supporters argue the Bible prohibits such nonsense.

 

Contrary to the United States Constitution, many religious organizations are flabbergast with the idea of two men or two women being given the right to marry. But doesn't this deprive U.S. citizens their right to life and the pursuit of happiness?

 

Since 625 A.D., the Bible has undergone tremendous changes.  So much, scriptural changing has become a norm, and continues to be welcomed and condoned by many religious followers. In fact, the Bible is revised by many different Bible Committee's, such as the International Bible Society. Diligently, these committee's congegate and decide what should be written in the text and what shouldn't.

 

In the meantime, our communities are undergoing a tremendous amount of pressure trying to maintain peace between same-sex couples and those who oppose such behavior and or, life style; simply because, a great majority of people have become drunkened by the deception of unholy men.

 

First off, even if we assume these committee's are joined together to rewrite the scriptures in order for today's society to comprehend the material much easier, there still seems to be a great deal of confusion surrounding the issue of homosexuality within biblical text.

 

Coincidentally, the issue of homosexuality is quite interesting. So much, people have often been told that same-sex couples were an abomination. Yet, it seems people have been misled on what the term "abomination" means. Many people assumes it's a sin, but according to the dictionary, it's not. It actually means something disgusting. But so is eating pork to Muslims, and males having sex with a woman; at least according to the scriptures. In fact, reading the opening scripture helped you discover that. But what does this scripture in Revelation instruct?

 

 

Ironically, today, many people still like to refer to the story of Sodom and Gomorrah when arguing their opinion about homosexuality. But if you read the story, you find out that it wasn't their homosexual behavior that made God destroy the city, but the city was destroyed because there wasn't one person in the entire city that was righteous, or even believed in God. Read it yourself:

 

 

 

 

God said he would spare the whole city if there were fifty people who were righteous. Reading further:

 

 

As the story unfolds, you learn that the angels God sent to canvass the city, arrived; and were bombarded by men who sought after them, lustfully. Once the angels  discovered there wasn't anyone in the city righteous, they destroyed the city accept Lot and his family. Yet many people believe it was because of the cities high level of homosexuality that caused the city to be destroyed. But after reading this, you come to understand that wasn't the case. There weren't enough righteous people living in the city...not even ten.

 

Another great analogy on the issue is taken from Romans.

 

 

 

 

 

Reading all of this, it seems- God included everybody as being unrighteous...not just homosexuals. In fact, if you read further you learn:

 

 

 

 

So, if no man in the flesh can be justified because the law gives the knowledge of sin, no one in the flesh can please God. Therefore, this should prove why Jesus was sent to sign the new covenant into action.

 

 

Reading this, should make one curious about the Holy Quran and what it teaches about homosexuality, since countless Muslims have been attacked and killed for being homosexual. In fact, some people like to recite from this doctrine when debating( which is among those listed in Romans one)- the issue of homosexuality. However, Allah dealt with the issue much differently.

 

 

 

Before continuing, please review this reference found below:

 

" The ignorance refferred to here is the spiritual ignorance, the ignorance of how grossness and sins that bring shame on their own physical and moral nature which is do to destroy them: it is their own loss. That they knew the iniquity of their sins had already been stated in the last verse. That knowledge makes their spiritual ignorance all the more culpable(deserving blame), just as a man consciously deceiving people by half-truths is a greater liar than a man who tells lies inadvertently."

 

*Please note: The above scripture was referring to the story of Sodom and Gomorrha in the Holy Quran. Now let's examine another scripture:

Interestingly, in a recent civil suit filed against one of the nations leading Bible publishing companies: Zondervan Publishing, L.L.C., who by the way, was named as the defendant. Zondervan filed a Motion for Dismissal in response. In their motion, Zondervan's attorney stated: "We accept all of  Plaintiff's allegations as truth for the purpose of this motion, yet feel the statue of limitations has exceeded in this case, and therefore, this case should be dismissed."

 

First of all, the original suit was filed regarding a complaint about the term "homosexual" being added to the many Bible's they have published erroneously. Seemingly, the plaintiff in this suit claimed he was mentally affected by the use of the term homosexual within the Bible. Albeit the judge dismissed the case, the reason for dismissing it was because the plaintiff didn't file the case before the statue of limitations had run out.

 

Albeit, the publisher admitted they did implement the term homosexual within its Bible falsly, this was a blatant admission of guilt. But since the compliant was filed years after the publisher had published that particular Bible, the courts ruled in their favor. Still, the fact remains, the publisher  willingly admitted to providing a false statement about homosexuals to the public. So what does that tell you?

 

Surely, any Bible reader knows:

 

 

Nevertheless, for centuries, homosexuals'  have taken their toll of rejection in stride- despite a society that breds itself on religious ethics and morals, yet fail to live up to the very message they preach and attempt to force feed others. With the continued backlash of ministers who are being caught off guard in their lifestyles of lasciviousness, greed, and lies; isn't it time religious followers learn the truth about their belief concerning homosexuality and their choices of religious doctrine? Isn't it time religious leaders answer for their continued misuse and misleading of their  church congregations for so long?

 

In a society that thrives to induce women with genetically altering remedies that help produce children, cease the natural curse of monthly menstrual through the development of designer drugs , and promote the practice of cosmetic surgery for the purpose of vanity, aren't we pushing the button on the  issue of same-sex marriage a little too much?

 

It seems as though, people are afraid of finally discovering  their opinions of same-sex people is merely a sign of their own insecurities  about their sexuality. And in some cases, many of those who oppose same-sex marriage, just may be hiding behind their own closed doors of same-sex desires. Perhaps, this is the age where mankind can actually be set free from ancient lies- handed down to control the masses. After all, reading what has been shared so far, you discover there is a great deal  more wisdom within the pages of the Bible -you just haven't taken note of.

 

And looking at the statistic of women who cannot bare children naturally, or the number of impotent men, you also discover- not every one was born to procreate. And yes, this was God's design, not man's. Therefore, when anyone takes a stand against the love two people share, regardless if its two men or two women, they are actually denying people the right to love- as granted to all people- by God. Doing so, deprives society of the opportunity to grow beyond its ignorant way of thinking...doesn't it?

 

In places like:Boston, Vermont, Iowa, Maine, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, those citizens have stepped beyond traditional thinking and have become thriving cities of diverse, culturally inclined communities, who embrace same-sex couples. So much, same-sex couples are marrying freely in those cities and states. So when will the remaining States bury their hate in the sand and realize, we can no longer fight a war on other people's rights. When in doing so, we're merely preventing our own rights. 

 

Considering the rate our ecomony of going, it seems, God isn't too concerned about same-sex marriage, because those states that have not allowed same-sex marriage, seem to be the States suffering the most. And ironically, the states that are refusing same-sex couples the right to marraige, are the very states rallying biblical scriptures and forever shouting, "Follow the word of God."

 

 

The scripture instructs: The foolishness of preaching to save them that believe... this comes right out of the Bible. Perhaps, that is why Jesus says,

 

 

 

Until Jesus returns, or his angel arrives, man shall remain as he is, so the scripture says. So why, do we, as if Jesus has come for all to see, force our vain  and egostical ways of thinking upon the lives of others; when we have no true understanding of spiritual things?

 

 

Its time to wake up America...God is Almighty, not our political party's, and definitely, not our church leaders- who,  for many years have studied the scriptures, passed their judgments unto the world, and through fear, forced many to give their hard earned money, proclaiming, "God said it was so". Because the scripture below says different:
