Is this really marriage?
onelovedread:
I've read Ray's papers and email comments on homosexuality and I have a general question.
Based on the definition(s) of marriage found in the scriptures, is the recent phenomenon of same 'sex marriage' really marriage in God's sight?
Or is what has been declared to be legal in many states, still just only a civil union in the eyes of God?
I guess what I am asking is can man actually change the meaning and definition of an institution that was created by God?
Dennis Vogel:
I don't have a problem with this subject as long as politics is not discussed in any form.
Please keep you opinions about the President, Romney, Republicans, Democrats, etc. to yourselves.
Gina:
Hey, John
Lots of things are declared legal by governments but that doesn't make them okay or right.
I can think of worse things that are legal than same sex marriage. I don't know what I'd do if put in the position of having to declare it legal, though. I'd probably say, Hey, Whatever floats your boats! Now can I have some peace and quiet?! :D

I really want to see if we as people called by God, can live according to principles that are independent of popular or political positions. Ray has written that as followers of Christ, we should not be involving ourselves in political stuff. I am sure that I read that he does not have any party affiliation. Yes, I'm aware of that and have no intention of introducing any discussion of politics. I am looking for Godly, practical Wisdom. What I'm searching for is how God sees the major issues of life, so that I can live by them (sort of like a code). So I am trying to establish what is marriage in His eyes. Nothing political but how we deal with it from a spiritual perspective.

Yeah right. ;)
You haven't read Ray's paper where he explicitly lays out the truth? What's marriage? It's a ceremony. It's a ceremony where two people come together and recite vows in front of witnesses declaring their commitment to love, cherish, honor till death do they part. I would personally let them, seeing how God is not standing in their way. Would God join in the marriage ceremony and celebrate the reception... I don't see that happening. Ever.
