Christians Need to
Prepare for Normalization of Gay Marriage

Though many
Christians are going to try to deny "the obvious," evangelical leader
Dr. Albert Mohler believes gay marriage is going to
become normalized.
"I think
it's clear that something like same-sex marriage is going to become normalized,
legalized and recognized in the culture. It's
time for Christians to start thinking about how we're going to deal with
that," he said Friday on the Focus on the Family radio program.
Mohler, president of The Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, was speaking in response to the Obama
administration's decision this week to stop defending the 1996 Defense of
Marriage Act – federal law that defines marriage as between a man and a woman –
in the courts.
In our eyes
we find this Evangelical leader Dr. Albert Mohler to
be quisling, a traitor, a betrayer of all things that are holy and righteous
concerning Jesus Christ, the Church, and
the Word of God.
We also
question here: How is it that the Christian Post is trumpeting Dr. Mohler’s call to surrender to Homosexual Marriage and not
that far behind it.
Not too many
years ago I recall the Homosexual community saying: We just want to get along.
We just want to be able to live our lives privately, and in peace. Since those days in the early and mid 1970’s we
have found that Militant Homosexuality is anything but doing their perverse
acts in private without legal or social harassment. From its inception the Gay Liberation Army have sought to usurp the power of American citizens, state
government and federal government to effectively rule this nation and its
peoples.
We have
spoken on this in a number of ways as related to news articles. What is happening today in
What we are
staying is that all the laws and special rights that Homosexual Activists have
foisted upon this nation and its people are NOT cast in stone. If anything
Christians need to repent, separate, and purge themselves of the evil and
perversion that they have embraced. When
2012 rolls around everyone needs to vote Tea Party in the primaries. And then
support these candidates in everyway possible to get them into office
displacing of course the liberal socialist progressives that have created the
mess this nation is in; as well as Rino Republicans
that have continually voted along with their democrat counterparts. Already in the House of Representatives we
see the greatest conservative efforts in more than a century seeking to pare
back Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, Obama’s unelected Czars, The EPA, Ending
TARP, The Obama Stimulus Program, and other grossly wasteful programs and
giveaways.
From this we
can see that this assault of Militant Homosexuality. Militant Feminism, Militant
Environmentalism, Militant Atheism, and Militant Muslimism can all be turned
back on their head as their super-citizenship rights can and will be suspended.
As none have rights above American Citizens.
Look now at
the
The Church
needs to clean up the manure that has built up on its floor for the last 100
years and return to serving and following Jesus Christ. The Church is not a political party, the
Church is not a lobbyist organization; the Church is not for wealth creation, the
church is not a protest group. The
Church is disciples of Jesus Christ plus nothing.
Conservative groups and Christians have criticized Obama for going
against his duty as president to defend the law. This is a matter of constitutional
law
"When a president takes oath of office, he's
upholding ... defending the laws of the
"The White House has clearly made a
calculation that it can do this now with far less political risk than it could
even two years ago."
Though Obama has always expressed his desire to
repeal DOMA, his personal view on marriage had been traditional.
While on the campaign trail, running as the
Democratic presidential nominee, Obama asserted his belief that marriage is the
union between a man and a woman. He added, while being interviewed by Pastor
Rick Warren, that "for me as a Christian, it's also a sacred union. God's
in the mix."
Recently, however, he has stated that his views on
gay marriage are "evolving."
The Obama administration has been pro-gay since
taking office two years ago and Mohler noted that
there has been a long trajectory on the issue of gay marriage pointing to this
day.
With the Justice Department now pulling its
defense of DOMA, pending legal challenges against the federal law will likely
result with the nullification of DOMA, Mohler
predicted.
"You can say, the cards are pretty much stacked
against DOMA," he illustrated.
He warned that when Christians feel threatened,
they have to be careful not to lash out with a predictable response.
The Southern Baptist made it clear that he was not
saying that they are giving up. Marriage is still an institution Christians
need to save, particularly in their own community. But Christians also need to
start learning how to deal with the shifting culture and even face the fact
that they may lose a few from their flock.
"I think we're going to be surprised and
heartbroken over how many people are going to capitulate to the spirit of the
age," he noted. "We're going to find now that there may not be as
many of us as we thought."
Nevertheless, Christians must be prepared to make
marriage one of the many topics where parents have to have "the
talk."
"It's interesting now that the world is so
morally upside down that when we talk about marriage we have to make a
distinction between natural marriage – heterosexual marriage – and this new
thing that people are calling marriage," Mohler
said.
"We have to prepare our children to be in a
context in which they're going to be in a playground with children who have two
dads or two moms or who knows what kind of combination will come."
Ultimately, the worldview or the belief that God
designed marriage to be between a man and a woman only makes sense if one
understands the Gospel, Mohler pointed out, which
raises a critical point:
"This whole situation reminds us that we are,
first of all, to be Gospel people who are fellow sinners ... saved by grace,
with the responsibility to share the Gospel with others."
