Homosexuals Already Have Right to Marry

Yes, homosexuals have the right to marry, but please don't clobber me just yet.

The entire homosexual marriage issue has been misframed from the beginning. Advocates for homosexual marriage have cleverly couched the debate in special terms so that Christians who reject homosexual marriage are immediately forced to fight themselves out of a box lest they be branded as "bigots." Because Christians always seem to be on the defensive, it is no wonder that the homofascists have advanced their agenda as far as they have.

It is long overdue for Christians to go on the offensive by reframing the debate altogether.

Currently the debate is framed this way: If you deny the rights of homosexuals to marry, then you are denying a fundamental liberty to a segment of our society. Denying a group of citizens a fundamental liberty that is enjoyed by others is a violation of civil rights. Therefore, opposition to homosexual marriage is likewise a rejection of civil rights.

As one can see, those who defend the Biblical view of marriage must immediately fight from a position of defense. However, a major glaring flaw exists in the sodomites' deceptive premise, and it is surprising that Christians have not fully exploited it.

Homosexuals already have the right to marry. (Yes, you read that correctly. Let me repeat it.)

Homosexuals have the right to marry.

And what's more, I support that right.

There is a very simple explanation for this seemingly shocking statement. If the debate is to center upon the "right to marry," then marriage itself must be defined at the outset. When the homofascists babble about the "right to marry," they are actually talking about a "right" to have the state recognize as legitimate a union between same-sex couples. Such unions, however, do not constitute true marriages.

The Book of Genesis does a superb job describing what a marriage truly is:

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Gen. 2:23-24)

The Gospel of Mark supports the Book of Genesis:

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (Mark 10:6-9)

From the infallible Holy Scriptures themselves, which constitute the Word of God, it is clear that the definition of marriage is a cleaving together of one man and one woman.

A man cannot cleave to another man; nor can a woman cleave to another woman, and simultaneously exist in a relationship that is rightly called a marriage.

So, do homosexuals have the right to marry or not?

Of course they do. Regardless of whether someone has homosexual or heterosexual tendencies, each person already enjoys the right to marry by cleaving to a member of the opposite sex. A rejection of "homosexual marriage" does not deny this fundamental right to marry, and therefore is not a violation of any person's civil rights. If a homosexual man wishes to cleave to a woman, then he is equally and alike free to do so, no different than a heterosexual man. Therefore, those who tout themselves as "homosexual" already enjoy the right to marry. They should change their tune.

The defense of the Biblical position therefore should not unnecessarily focus on civil rights. All Americans have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex, regardless of whether they are hetero- or homosexual.

Instead of constantly having to fight out of a corner, it is time for Christians to turn the tables by taking an offensive strategy that forces their opponents to admit publicly that their goal is to redefine marriage.

That is what is really going on here. Sodomites want to have their cake and eat it too. They want so desperately for God to approve of their perverted relationships, that they rebelliously seek to rewrite the Bible and redefine marriage. What's more, it angers them to no end.

Americans should not care about angering homosexuals though. They should care more about angering an all-righteous God.
