Federal Appellate Courts and SCOTUS on Gay marriage...both off the mark!

I for one have had enough of activist Judges from the States Supreme Courts up through the Federal Appellate Courts and ending in the US Supreme Court...Fact : Judges are not authorized/empowered to make Law they are there to make sure the rule of Law is followed and to give opinions which may or may not be binding ...Laws are enacted by legislatures of the states and the Congress of the United States of America... representatives are elected by 'We the People!  Activist gay or straight judges have no right to replace state rights laws voted on by 'We The People' and replaced with their own personal opinion/laws based on prejudicial agendas  PERIOD!

Marriage is one of the most important commitments that someone can make during their lifetime. If you are considering making a marriage commitment, it is important to reflect on the type of commitment that you will be making with the person you plan to marry. 


Marriage is the most basic and significant social relationship to humankind. This relationship must be nurtured and maintained for the welfare of all. Without marriage, society will fail.
God's design for marital relationship is heterosexual, not homosexual, and monogamous, not polygamous. This relational aspect of God's image in marriage has analogues portrayed in Yahweh's relation with Israel ( Isa 54:5 ; Jer 31:32 ; Ezek 16:8-14 ; Hosea 2:14-20 ) as well as in Christ's relation with the church ( Eph 5:21-33 ; cf. 1 Cor 11:1-3 ; 2 Cor 11:2 ; Rev 19:7-9 ). Israel is portrayed as Yahweh's wife ( Isa 54:5 ; Jer 31:32 ; Ezek 16:8-14 ; Hosea 2:14-20 ). Her idolatrous unfaithfulness and disobedience to Yahweh are frequently depicted as spiritual "adultery" ( Num 25:1-4 ; Judges 2:17 ; Jer 3:20 ; Ezek 16:15-59 ; 23:1-48 ; Hosea 1:2 ; 2:2-13 ; 3:3 ) for which she was punished by captivity. Yahweh "divorced" his "unfaithful wife" ( Isa 50:1 ; Jer 3:8 ; Hosea 2:2 ), but ultimately will have compassion and delightfully restore her to faithfulness and holiness ( Isa 54 ; 62:4-5 ; Ezek 16:53-63 ; Hosea 2:14-3:1 ).

God commanded the male and female to perform two specific functions: procreation ("fruitful and multiply") and ruling over the earth ("subdue" and "rule") ( Gen 1:28 ). These are functions that reflect God's image. Humankind (male and female) receive God-ordained authority to rule over the rest of creation, but not over each other.
Human reproduction comes through intimate sexual union designed for the marriage relationship. While reproduction is a divine purpose of marriage, some couples are unable to have children for various physical reasons. This does not make their marriage second-rate or inferior. However, a married couple should desire to obey the divine injunction of procreation if possible. Children are one manifestation of the "one flesh" of marriage. The procreative injunction obviously precludes homosexual "marriages."

Here is my suggestion to end this war on marriage once and for all and is fair to all parties involved:
The term marriage should be divided into two separate catagories:

A marriage covenant/contract is a bi-lateral legal agreement between two people. It is a performance-based agreement. It is binding only as long as each spouse performs according to the covenant/contract. If one spouse fails to adequately uphold the contract, the other spouse can choose to no longer be bound by the contract.

1) Covenantal relationship between husband, wife and the Creator.

A Moral Commitment

For hetrosexual /religious relationships

 

2) Union contract:
