A Biblical Response to SCOTUS and Gay Marriage

Yesterday SCOTUS decided (wrongly) to change the definition of marriage and force it on the entire country.  And I'm sure you've noticed on Facebook that many people are showing their support with "rainbow photos".  Where should we stand as Christians?  We must stand with God.  And God's word is clear about marriage and homosexuality.  Here's little review.

What the Bible says about marriage:  Marriage is the union of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.
  • Genesis 2:24
  • Matthew 19:4-6
  • Ephesians 5:22-33
What the Bible says about homosexuality:  Homosexual behavior is unnatural, offensive to God, and morally evil.
  • Leviticus18:22
  • Romans 1:26-27
  • 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
  • 1 Timothy 1:9-11
As Christians we must obey God rather than man.  We must seek God's approval rather than man's.  We must obey God, even if it means sacrifice.  We must love sinners, but we must hate sin.  We must speak the truth in love, and refuse to be silenced.  And we must support those who are being mistreated for their moral and religious beliefs on homosexuality and marriage.
