A Warning to Our Nation
Wayne J. Edwards, Pastor
Last Tuesday, President Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, making same-sex marriages legal nationwide. The President said it was a “victory for freedom in America,” that there was “nothing more decent, more dignified and more American, than what they were doing in signing that bill into law that realized the promise of sacred and secular beliefs.”
Mr. President, and those who agree with this law, including 51 liberal republicans, as a man of God, I must warn you: You can pass legislation that legalizes sin, but you cannot pass legislation that redefines sin.
The Bible clearly says homosexuality is contrary to nature and God’s laws.
The Bible says a male should not lie with a male as with a woman, and those who do will not inherit the Kingdom of God. As a sin, homosexuality is equal to adultery, rape, incest, pornography, and murder, which, I believe, are still illegal in America.
Some believe our society has progressed to the point where we must embrace homosexuality, and sadly, that now includes many liberal denominations and evangelical churches. However, whether you agree with it or not, our nation’s moral laws were based upon Judeo-Christian ethics as described in the Christian Bible; that is not debatable.
Therefore, the only way any immorality could be accepted, much less celebrated, is to remove God and the Bible from our civil government, which is your obvious goal.
Therefore, rather than your actions bringing freedom and victory to America, according to Romans 1, the legalization of same-sex marriage will bring death to our society, as it did to Sodom and Gomorrah, Rome, Greece, and other empires, for you have further removed America from God’s hand of protection, and as we now rue the day we legalized the murder of unborn children, so we will rue the day we legalized that sin which God called an abomination. God help us!
Mr. President, you said, “This law and the love it defends strike a blow against hate in all its forms, and that’s why this law matters to every single American.” All its’ forms? Does that apply to the majority of Americans who disagree with it? For, while Christians are to be loving and graceful, love and grace cannot legitimatize what God has called sin. God’s word speaks the truth, and I am bound to His Word.
