You'd say this about a brother who simply questions your political opinion. Jeesh bro.
I'm just being realistic. I don't see keeping these people and churches restricted from this too much longer.
I'm not for it. I just don't see this as being something we can really address politically without a Marriage Amendment in the Constitution of every state or the United States Constitution. To make matters more complicated no one running for President would support such an amendment right now and the American people don't show much support for it either.
I think the only answer is preaching the gospel. No court, judge, or politician can hinder that. Politics can't address sin unless it endangers life, liberty, or property. And then there are stablished limits in those areas.
And I feel that we allow these things to disturb our peace. We'll never be able to control everyone. So I often pray....
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pat-hway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
