The document makes it legal, not the ceremony
Saturday, December 6, 2008 6:11 AM PST
I would like to respond to the various letters that have recently been published in this section regarding Proposition 8. It must be noted that nowhere in the U.S. Constitution is it written that there should be a separation between church and state.
The First Amendment specifically states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ... " In the same breath the Fourteenth Amendment states, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State (www.usconstitution.net/glossary.html \l "DEPRIVE") deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without (www.usconstitution.net/consttop_duep.html) due process of law; nor deny to any person within its (www.usconstitution.net/glossary.html \l "JURIS") jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." What that means is that the State of California cannot pass a law that infringes on the rights of a citizen. A logical person must conclude that anyone who wishes to be married should be allowed to do so under the rights and privileges granted to all U.S. citizens by the Fourteenth Amendment.
Because our laws are inherently intertwined with religion, we cannot separate them unless we redefine the word "marriage" to mean a religious ceremony performed by a religious leader joining a man and a woman. Currently, before being married by a religious leader, a couple must obtain a marriage "license" to make the union legal. Then, the license is taken to the place of worship and signed by the religious leader. The religious ceremony of marriage in itself is meaningless in the eyes of the law. It is the document that makes the "marriage" legal, not the religious ceremony. So why not let same-sex couples have that "document?" Let them think it is a marriage, when in all actuality it is just the document.
In my eyes, and in the eyes of most Christians, a marriage is a religious ceremony establishing a covenant between God, a man and a woman. There is nothing the courts can do to force religious organizations to "marry" same-sex couples because that, ladies and gentlemen, WOULD be against the Constitution.

oh yeah, YOU CAN'T
now, as far as your "examples" of biblical exegesis, i already proved it was a joke by citing that there are ZERO examples of "pro homosexuality" in the bible, and only condemnation following it.
i followed that up by my history lesson where Jesus condemned it both in the old and new testament.
i followed that up by referring you to a rabbinical jew for what the old testament REALLY taught in the origianl languages about homosexual sex, so NO, your game is over.

it IS a violation against the straight up design of God anatomically, AND the straight up defintions of sex BY God, which within it's designations ONLY condemned homosexual sex, just like it did every other kind of sex outside heterosexual sex within marriage
you can't even make an excuse that it was "jewish law related", because the new testament which was GENTILE inclusive, STILL stated homosexual sex was condemned, so this lie gets squashed as well.

nope bobby, "opinions" WERE sexual in nature/reference, and they ARE aimed at ANY aspect of homosexual sex.
if you were right, that certain aspects of homosexual sex WAS "acceptable", then the bible would have included examples, definitions, examples of homosex marriage, homosex love, etc.

in mark chapter 7, Jesus condemned every manner of sexual deviancy just as HE did in the old testament as God.
Jesus Christ as God didn't condemn it in the old testament, then turn around and "ok it" in the new.
HE condemned ANY SEX outside of HIS design PERIOD, which ONLY includes sex between a man and a woman in a marriage.
any other sex is either fornication or adultery, and is rightfully referred to biblically as "sexual immorality"
sexual immorality is an all-inclusive biblical term used to describe any sex outside of HIS design, and Jesus used that term in bobby's favorite translation, the king james.
and bobby made a most sickening lie about the centurion in matthew 8
there isn't a stitch of homosexuality mentioned, but bobby's depravity driven perversion perverts the text and once again tries to insert homosexuality into something that isn't there

now your back attempting to slide your desperation lying attempt back under the door
there is ZERO sexual content in the ruth/naomi story, and even if there was, it would be ADULTERY, and adultery is a sin before God
same with david/jonathon

it's another nail in your lying coffin, because the boob of jude (chapter 1 verse 7) CONFIRMS the sin of homosexuality WAS one of the sins for which God destroyed sodom, and not because of some lie you pulled out of your wishful thinking bag-o-tricks because guess what bobby, God CANNOT destroy "angels" thru a fire on earth.....because angels are IMPERVERVIOUS to human elements because they are spiritual beings
God destroyed sodom because of HUMAN BEHAVIOR, and jude confirms that sodom was aptly named via it's mention of your particular brand of sexual deviancy that jude noted.

whenever God has judged mankind, it's because of mankinds behvior, NOT "angels"

although homosexuality wasn't the "only" sin for which the judgement of God was leveled on sodom and gomorrah, it certainly was one of them, as referenced elsewhere in the new testament, that rampant illicit sex outside Gods design was but one of the reasons it was "blacktopped"

only until the last few deacades have the "bobby's" of the world PURPOSEFULLY bastardized Gods word for self justification purposes, by PURPOSEFULLY lying about contextual content in order to FORCE homosexuality into the biblical text.

standards that are so clear, it DOESN'T take a theologian to determine intent/meaning.
what man possibly thinks he can fight against God, and FORCE HIM into accepting something God has already labeled as being an abherrant CHOICE?
so bobby, do you really think you can change Gods already spoken opinion about homosexual sex?....or are you that far gone in your sin that you actually think that will EVER happen?
because since BEFORE the recorded words of God thru man, homosexual sex has ALWAYS been a sin, and always will be

(a) your not married, and there is no "homosexual marriage" in Gods word anyway
(b) it's fornication
(c) homosexual sex is biblically condemned everytime it's mentioned
(d) he is an unbeliever, and you couldn't "go there" on any of your wishful thinking scenarios.
biblically, there is ZERO hope for you making a case of anything sexual with another man, even IF the guy did believe that Jesus Christ was God.

moses asked her to give up her "hometown" before he WOULD marry her, making it a conditional arrangement where the ethiopian woman would CONVERT over to moses' authority under God.
conversion made it "acceptable", but apart from this specific example, in most every case of the patriarchs/prophets, most everyone failed before God in alot of the choices they made.
solomon comes to mind, and so does david. both men committed sin before God and payed the price FOR their disobedience, yet God STILL used them.

i wouldn't necessarily disagree with that description, in that sex is STRICTLY intended ONLY for marriage.
however, as you know from past your "past relationships", that sex alone would not straight across the board constitue a marriage before God because it seems like every biblical example of marriage had some sort of "public" attachment to it, in that as the bible describes "before men", which leads me to believe it involes a public confession OF that committment....."like" a ceremony.
God also calls us to obey the govt laws until they ditch HIS laws, and current "law" states it must include a legal document.
you and i both know sex, a ceremony and a legal document doesn't necessarily constitute a marriage BLESSED by God.

you would think he would zero in on the fact she has divorced 5 times, yet within the grace framework of God, you could tell what mattered most to Christ was NOT what was in the rear view mirror of this womans life, but what she would do from that moment on to NOT repeat past sins, and "fix" her current disobedience by making her current situation right.

voter cracks me up, by calling it "hatred" when that guy bullies Christians like it's nothing.
that guy calls billy rubin a good guy

well, that would be the next logical step for you because you have uncomitted sex with an unbeliever, and there is ZERO CHANCE you can rectify that before God.
you can lie all you want to yourself on others, but the fact about you is that you USE Gods words to try and justify your choice of acting on homosexuality.
you don't read Gods word and adjust on so many levels it's dizzying.
your latest personal revelation about not even living together apart from your biblical pounding of your position reveals once again you have ZERO intent on placing yourself under Gods authority, you ONLY seek to create your OWN "do's and don'ts".
maybe you can expound on the biblical principles of having sex with an unbeliever.

before, you said you were "committed", and that qualified as "ok sex" before God.
shoot bobby, you aren't even comitted enough to even live together, and that alone constitutes fornication.

(1) no marriage for bobby. check
(2) no living together. check
(3) sex with another male. check
(4) NO PRO homosexual passages. check
(5) sex with previous males. check
(6) NO "homosexual marriages" biblically. check

so, let's see YOU demonstrate living together or sexual intercourse constitutes a "marriage" before God.

i don't play games bobby, and you met a Christian that can paint you rightfully for who you really are....one that knows "enough" about Gods word so that liars like you can't pull your self-justification innocent act game on those that don't have the tools to defend against the likes of you
historical Christianity makes you a liar by choice, and the texts of scripture are blatantly obvious
your game is over, by me STILL demonstrating your lying about "scriptural inclusion" of homosexuality.
scoreboard tonight....
no PRO homosexual passages in Gods word
you cannot justify your OWN sexual relationship
you lied about not "knowing about lodian"

Then we have David and Jonathon which we have also already discussed in previous blogs. I know you dont want to listen to any of it and that is fine. But there are examples of it in the Bible, where you say there are not. Religions generally dont want you to believe that it is possible for homosexuality to be in the Bible in a positive manner. It would not be in thier intrest to admit they were wrong in their interpretations an that they have been teaching things inaccurately. Religions believe that they and the Bible are the same, they are not. Religion is supposed to be man's study of God and the Bible, the Bible is what God has passed down for us. "

doing a little google research on what constitues marriage that IS recognized by God, i came up with the account in genesis about God joining adam and eve as one flesh (sexually), and interesting enough the passage says that man shall leave his parents and cleave to his wife, yet adam and eve only had God as a "parent", indicating their union was God directed FIRST.
marriage so i see thru research was done PUBLICALLY to demonstrate committment, and that the jewish culture had to sign a legally binding document BEFORE they could get married called a "ketubah". they couldn't just live together, as referenced in john 4 where Jesus pointed that out to the samaritan woman at the well.
marriage according to God is legally contractual because God calls us to obey the laws of the land. it was mostly CULTURALLY recognized before man as a commitment to the covenant requirements by God for marriage, including ceremonies at times to publically proclaim it before man that it WAS of God "

Just as the word "dinosaur" is not mentioned in the Bible because the word was invented in the early 1840s to describe the fossils that were being discovered at that time. Fossils that were identical to the descriptions of animals detailed in the book of Job (just one more proof the Bible is reliable). As one of the most detailed described animals in the Bible, the Behemoth, Dragon, and Leviathan are what we would now refer to as dinosaurs.
The point is just because we call a behavior or an animal by different names, the behavior or animal are still what they are. "

I tend to separate religion from marriage. I believe that marriage is the civil wedding between two people. I believe that Holy Matrimony is the religious equivalent.
Just let them get married, so they can enjoy those right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. "

While I understand it is not what it typically taught by religions, religions were formed by man and can be wrong. The Bible was written and re-written by man specificaly for the purpose of those said religions. When you do research you find that the word that is translated in current day english to say homosexual is sometimes translated to mean something completely different just a few chapters later. Words dont change their meaning, so why were they translated to mean two completely different things??

You are claiming that WTF is married according to your standards and claiming that yours and Gods are the same thing. So put up! ").
where did Jesus Christ perform his first miracle bobby?
what is the marriage supper of the lamb?
marriage before God is (1) ONLY recognized between a man and a woman, (2) is ONLY recognized BY God when the "commitants" are committed TO God, thereby entrusting their marriage TO God.
wtf readily admitted he has left certain aspects of God out of his life.
if he is so "committed", then why DOESN'T he get married, and the simple/obvious answer is because getting legally "committed" requires a DEEPER committment, and one he can't readily walk away from.
it's not the paper/ceremony or size of ceremony, it's the committement before God AND man that solidifies marriage these days.
whether or not the state grants you (bobby)the ability TO 'marry', God STILL won't recognize it "

i was making a point that bobby isn't the least bit interested in "answers", and his time spent in Gods word was ONLY for the purpose of self justification.
of course Gods word is the ONLY "go to" on the issues of man, and i wouldn't steer anyone in any other direction.
the other point i was making is that at times being "nice" and not telling the confrontive truth is that it "can" become an enabling act
i see ALOT of Christians suffer from that malady, in that they are unwilling to tell the sometimes confrontive aspects of truth, and in not doing so, they in-advertanly become a party to the perpetuation of sin

sorry bobby, you living together with your "current" boyfriend doesn't qualify you before God under ANY definition, even though your attempting to front for WTF (and yourself) while thinking everyone else will give you a free pass under the "comittment umbrella".
God doesn't recognize ANY aspect of homosexuality, even IF they are "comitted", so your wishful thinking has no future before God.
as far as wtf, he isn't married either, so God can't "recognize" his "marriage", because he doesn't have one to begin with
wtf has been "living together" with his woman. they have never "married" "

The problems become when the Bible has been interpreted and re-interpreted by man. The Bible does not say anything in actuality about "homosexuality" until about 175 years ago during one of the many re-interpretations. While this is one aspect of life for you Audi this is my life, I have spent many many years trying to understand what God wants of me, why if He created us in His image, why then did he create me a homosexual? And he did, I have found many answers in the Bible. Many of those teachings of the Bible are not what is taught by religion infact sometimes religion teaches us the opposite.
I have research grammar, language of the time, historical reasonings for certain items (such as your arguments earlier about shrimp) and so many more items of these anti-gay doctrines. "

For the case of the food laws, it's clear they were for a historical time, and fully abrogated by God. God's commands of sexual purity, however, are applicable for all time, people, and cultures, as they have never been abrogated by God.

it IS about the sex, as the sexual element is what God either cofirms or condemns based on the choice of enactment, versus Gods standards.
at minimum, over time, gays choose to be gay, and the sexual choice/element thereafter condemns that choice.
while different groups of people experience "attraction" to all kinds of deviant pull, still over time a person is responsible before God to deal with that attraction thru the power of God over it.
i am reminded of a friend of mine who cheated on his wife with a woman 20years his junior. he still seeks to justify his "attraction" and subsequent sin by saying it isn't just about sex

In Leviticus, Moses instructs the Israelites regarding cleanliness. Certain classifications of animals were disease carriers at that time in history (e.g. pigs), but also it was an exercise in avoiding carnivorous animals and birds of prey that eat flesh with blood in it. Only domesticated animals were offered in sacrifice, and for human consumption, as per the old testament law.
Cud-chewing, cloven-hoofed land animals were clean and so could be eaten. Other animals were unclean.
Only ordinary fish with fins and scales were clean. Other water creatures were unclean and therefore inedible.

that is an outright lie.
in these blogs on at least two seperate occasions when you were attempting to silence me on one of the many blogs about homosexuality, YOU said YOU were a Christian while attempting to make your point about keeping God "seperate".
you and others have done it in here, by claiming yourselves to be "Christians".
you people think you can use that as a tool to silence someone who is willing to speak up.
you did it at least two times
you forget i have a "sponge memory" about these things "

I agree with all of you on many of your posts. A relationship with God is just that God and us. I dont need a place to worship I have every where to do that, some of the best times I have had were where I walked over to the park or sat on the front porch and read my Bible.
And just as was said before by someone else, I dont enjoy the seen and be seen aspect of church, its not a runway, its a place of worship. "

"In 1996, Congress passed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage as a legal union of one man and one woman for the purpose of interpreting federal law. Under DOMA, the Federal government does not recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions, even if those unions are recognized by state law. For example, members of a same-sex couple legally married in Massachusetts cannot file joint Federal income tax returns even if they file joint state income tax returns."
If this is true, why are gays concentrating just on the state constitution? It would seem they would still have the same problems without federal recognition.

The "gay marriage" issue has always been LESS about marriage, and MORE about "normalizing" homosexuality.
Recently I stumbled across a Barbara Walters special that touted the "First Man To Have A Baby". The story was about a woman who had her breasts surgically removed, but kept her female organs. She "legally" became a man, got pregnant and had a baby. And this person believes she is a man who had a baby even though she is a woman with a man's name.
She was shown, at one point, with a T-shirt on that asked the question....
What is normal?
And there you have it, right there on that t-shirt. To homosexuals, this is all about being accepted as normal (not about marriage specifically).
To meet that goal, marriage has to become COMMONLY known as being "between two people, regardless of gender". "

She was just a little out there in her theories. Infact she and her whole speech was about why marriage is between only a man and a woman. Her argument was a little different, she claimed that even though the actual marriage is of a man and woman (in her view) she said that the Marriage is actually not for the couple but only for the children and that the marriage certificate binds the parents to the child.
It was a differnt type of arguement, And she was definately out there a little. Dr Morse claimed that she doesnt like to speak on Same Sex Marriage but it appears that is all her web page is based on...

While I am very much aware that God does not abandon us, it is the teaching and confusion of many religions that have pushed people away from God. Many religions teach that you can not seperate God from Church and thus some of the confusion.
My point earlier is that Church has pushed people away and seperated them from God. Sin is relative as we are all sinners.
But a question for you if we are all sinners why then are we as religious people turning people off to religion and God? I think thats the question that everyone needs to ask themselves as well as ask , is my church turning people off or away from God?

I while I might agree with your general statement that as a society many people are moving away from God/Church. What I think I might differ on is that from my experience people have been pushed away from Church and told that God doesnt like them. We are blasted day in and day out about how evil we are or that we are going to Hell. Many people (not just Gays) feel as if they have been abandoned by Religion and as such abandoned by God.
In recent times (over the past 20-40 years) it seems as if not only has society changed but religion has also changed. Religion has become more angry and hatefilled with screaming and condemnation, which I personally believe has pushed people away from Church and God.
Just as a marriage ceremony you are promising in front of a crowd of people to honor and take care of the other, in Church you are promising to live life with the members of the church watching out for you. While it is not the Church itself that keeps moral decay away, it is its members that provide that moral support! "

For many it has been their faith and the guidance that God may have played in their lives. It could also have been that our ancestors understood the meaning of the word "commitment" in not only their marriages, but in many other facets of their lives as well. The moral decay that we have been witnessing has its roots in a society that dismisses God as a mere theory or fantasy. "

LodiSafeway, Marriage is more than just a document to the gay community as well. If it was just a document I don't think it would matter so much. However, with this document come the responsibility of marriage. To have and to hold, to take care of no matter what, the promise to provide safety and security, the commitment of each soul to the other and the promise to each of the others loved ones that you will take care of thier loved ones til the end of time.
What some people are scared of is that the term Marriage convey respect in society and many people are scared of that. Think about this.... if a gay person has a DP contract and say oh this is my domestic partner does it convey the same respect as this is my "husband" or this is my "wife" and we are married.
If it does not convey the same standards and respect then it is not the "same as marriage". "
