"3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
An editorial in a local publication wrote about what society has deemed "Same-Sex Marriage" and whether or not the citizens of our state should amend the constitution of that state to accept "Same-Sex Marriage"? It appears that society as a whole is trying to "define" what GOD ordained from Creation. HE is the only ONE who created mankind. HE is the only ONE who gets to "define" what MARRIAGE should be.
Leviticus 18:22 plainly states "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." But the King James Bible uses the word "abomination" 66 other times! There are plenty of other things that defile a human body that GOD has identified.
Divorce is one of them. Even in the time JESUS was here on earth there were questions about divorce. My mom was married/divorced three times. My mom paid a price for her choices in life. She was a believer in JESUS CHRIST and the forgiveness HE offers. She displayed that forgiveness to others, mainly her children!
In verse 9 of Matthew 19 scripture records JESUS saying "He saith unto them, Moses because of the HARDNESS OF YOUR HEARTS suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so." So man (Moses) changed GOD'S law to accommodate the hardness of the hearts of mankind.
As previously noted, there are plenty of other times scripture uses the word "ABOMINATION". SIN is SIN. Whether it is telling a "white lie" or murdering a person, it takes the Blood of JESUS to cleanse a persons heart. There is no candy coating you can put on it.
No one has the authority to "REDEFINE" what GOD has ordained. You can call it whatever you like, but GOD calls it SIN. However, just as my mom displayed forgiveness to "her" children, GOD forgives HIS children. I am thankful I am a child of the most HIGH GOD, and my sins have been forgiven.
