The Church of England has warned that proposals to legalise gay marriage could undermine its status.
The Church of England said government proposals to allow same-sex
marriages by 2015 would "alter the intrinsic nature of marriage as the
union of a man and a woman, as enshrined in human institutions
throughout history".
Marriage has been here since the starting of complex civilizations.
During "cave men" times people were always tied to each other, but not
in the sence we see it today. With the start of complex civilizations
there came ceremonies and different ways of marring each other. The
Mesopotamians, Harapans, Eygpyions, Nubians, lalalaalas all had marriage
honey. The christains for a long time had extremely simple marriages. For a
long time a white dress was not the standard. Marriage was no way
influence by just one religion and one culture. It's just something that
naturally comes with complex civilizations, just like jobs, money,
governments etc.
King David had many wives to increase his wealth join communities together and keep his name as did many other families encourage the joining of two or more people.
Jesus preached one man and one woman, and blessed it by performing His first miracle of turning plain water into vintage wine at a marriage reception in Galilee.
But the church today ignores the most important reason we are alive:-
It is NOT to "focus on the family"
It is not to attend marriage seminars
The purpose of our lives as children of God (if you wish to believe is a God) is to love Him and serve our fellow humans in kindness and compassion. The modern church has made marriage and family into an idol.
More Christan's get divorced each year and is increasing......
Christianity did not create marriage!!! so why do they feel the right to dictate who can form a partnership full of love, kindness and compassion???
What our world lacks in an unmeasurable way is
Love
Kindness
Compassion
Does it really matter who forms a partnership?? Surely the best question would be do these people show Love? Kindness? Compassion?
