A call for traditonal Marriage

Earlier this month a member of the General Synod and CEO of a Christian lobbying group, called on the church to resist the State’s attempt to introduce same-sex marriage; challenging the Church of England to take a stand for traditional marriage.

God’s Word on Marriage

I want to remind us God’s Word is God’s Word and it does not change regardless of what men or State do. What is God’s view on marriage? Well Jesus said,

He who made them at the beginning “made them male and female,” and said, “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh”? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.’ Matthew 19:4-6

Marriage is God’s Plan

Marriage between man and woman is part of God’s plan, it is an institution of divine origin. Marriage is primarily governed by God’s laws and as long as society’s laws are in conflict with this, society can not be co-regulators of God’s institution of Marriage. All the legislating and man defining will not change God’s definition of marriage and His ultimate plan.

Man’s plan for Marriage

However what ever man puts his mind to he can do, therefore I predict that eventually society will have a type of union/marriage for all, but it will never take away from what God has put in place. His Word will stand long after you and I leave this Earth, and beyond.
