My
intent with this writing is to illustrate, bring to light, and make known to
all who have ears to hear, that the original intent of marriage was,
and is, only and ever to be between two opposite
genders for the purpose of creating one new flesh, a child, to guarantee the
continuation of mankind and his destiny.
The
governments of men can create all kinds of rules and laws but that does not
make those laws right or reflective of eternal truth. During the time of the
Roman Empire the Caesars worshipped false gods and some of them required the
people to worship them as a god as well. Slavery at times and in certain
nations has been legal as well. Some slaves have had great masters while others
have had abusive masters. We find slavery throughout the biblical narrative and
even though it was never God's plan yet we see God still working through and
around many of these issues to bring back mankind to His plan and his
grace. When two people of the same gender commit their lives together,
adopt children together, share assets together and build a life together, they
can technically share some of the attributes of a marriage but it can never
actually be a marriage because there is never a biblical shedding of blood.
In Genesis 2:24-25 God
declared the reason and purpose of marriage: It was the coming together of two
opposite genders of mankind to become one flesh. The results of this one new
flesh would produce the fruit of the womb (children). Within God's framework of
marriage there are several aspects that the uniting of two of the same gender
can never experience. Let's take a look at
them:
God
is a God of Covenant and over and over again Covenant is declared from the
beginning of Genesis with the shedding of BLOOD. When Adam and Eve sinned in
the garden, God covered their sin, guilt and shame after He declared their
penalty, refrained from killing them and rescued them with a covering of Bloody
animal skins (Genesis 3:21) . Its obvious those skins became available by way of the
sacrifice of an innocent animal and by way of the blood shed to give up its
skin.
We
also see when God made covenant (promise / permanent
allegiance) with Abram that there was the shedding of BLOOD with
the cutting of flesh. ( Genesis 15:17-18) This revealed God’s desire that the two
become one in Covenant as God walked between the animal halves IN THE BLOOD as
a sign of God instigating and creating a promise of eternal partnership and
Covenant between Himself and Abram.
At
that juncture in time God made a covenant to multiply Abraham’s seed
(procreation). When we come to the New Testament we discover Jesus Christ
the son of God who shed his BLOOD in Covenant and made a promise that He would
bring many sons (male and female) into spiritual life for eternity.
When a man and a women who
have never joined their flesh with another (virginity) come together with the
act of intercourse there is for the first time a shedding of BLOOD by the
female. This shedding creates a BLOOD Covenant and seals the coming
together of two opposite genders to create one flesh. The results become the
fruit of the womb in offspring for the glory of God. This blood covenant
between male and female becomes the proof or evidence of a New Covenant of
intimacy and promise of one flesh /a new family to live life together as one. When
those who accept the sacrifice of Christ and "believe Him" and repent
of our sins, we (leave our former single life) and cleave to our spiritual mate
who provides and protects us as we walk in life with God in Covenant faith.
When we do such, we produce disciples (fruit of Covenant) and we can look back
to the BLOOD shed as a reminder of a promise made by God.
Now anything short of this
description between a male and female virgin coming together in blood covenant
is not a truly biblical marriage as God intended! One might ask questions about
divorce, death and remarriage etc. God has answers for all things, but
the ideal and intent of marriage is a physical BLOOD Covenant between male and
female for life to become one flesh to produce fruit and offspring for God's
glory. Leviticus chapter 18 makes quite clear all the violations between mankind
in any and every direction against the will of God and their respective
consequences.
Now
back to BIBLICAL homosexual marriage possibilities. Based on God's created order, intent
and design it's impossible for two adults of the same gender to be married in
covenant with each other and recongized by God. Neither of them can cut the blood covenant to produce
fruit of the womb without a male and female involved to produce a child.
The reason why so many are
opposed to the recent Supreme Court's decision is not against homosexuals and
lesbians having the right to share their lives with whomever they want to, but
rather, the opposition is in the trampling under foot a God created institution
called “Marriage,” the uniting of one man and one women who enter into a
Holy Union called a “Marriage Covenant”.
If two men or two women or 3 men and 3 women or however many want to live together is not my business. But if multiple men or women want to experience and do whatever together against God’s will it is their sinful business, their decision, but please do not try to corrupt and redefine the purpose and meaning of “MARRIAGE” as God established it. According to God’s Word, it’s not within the realm of man to change God and His ways. His priorities are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
