Federal Judge: Indiana Must Recognize Gay Couple's

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...n_5126782.html

Is the pulpit next? It's seems to be getting uncomfortable allowing secular government to be involved in marriage.

Should we get out of the 501c3 tax exempt trap?

If it is God's will for your illness then why are you seeking medical attention to get rid of it?

Re: Federal Judge: Indiana Must Recognize Gay Coup

What is crazy is that the federal government is now stepping in and forcing this on the states. When the 'revolution' first began it was up to the individual states to decide.

I work in the County Clerk's Office at my local courthouse. I will NOT issue a marriage license to a same-gender couple. It appears I could be job hunting at some point in the near future.

There was a gay bash-back at the church I use to attend. Spray painted the van-lol.

States rights are being trampled right and left.

This ruling. Bundy Ranch and the BLM.

This is an overreach by the fed judge.

Yet the SCOTOS threw out the Defense of Marriage act because they deemed it a violation of States' Rights. But of course there is no contradiction here.

Re: Federal Judge: Indiana Must Recognize Gay Coup

Ultimately, the state shouldn't be regulating private associations and relationships. I like the way the Quakers used to do it. They'd have a meeting and the couple would exchange promises, a Quaker marriage certificate was given and they signed their Bibles and husband and wife. They often refused to seek a state license to marry or file their marriages with the state. The marriage was entirely a private association. And even the termination of their marriages were handled privately unless there was a criminal violation of the law such as assault or kidnapping.

We really need to begin drawing a distinction between "Civil Marriage" and "Holy Matrimony". Some religious communities will unite couples in "Holy Matrimony" and leave it up to each couple as to rather they want to legalize their marriage with the state. In a sense, these churches have taken marriage back and defined it in accordance to their convictions within their fellowship.

I think the following would be a far better idea than having GOVERNMENT in control of marriage:
