Sodomites Advancing
By Robert McCurry
The sodomite invasion has far surpassed what I
perceived and predicted it would be when I began my warnings
forty+ years ago. Same-sex marriages? Sodomites
requesting/demanding Christian pastors perform their
same-sex marriage? Government requiring Christian pastors to
perform same-sex marriages? Government sanctions on pastors
for refusing to perform same-sex marriages? None of these
questions were ever even thought about in bygone years. But
we are faced with these realities in today’s real world.
Stay tuned. There’s more to come.
The so-called “same-sex marriage” is now “the
law of the land” in 37 states; the full fall-out of this
debacle is yet to be seen when the SCOTUS issues its ruling
in the near future.
Every pastor will not immediately be confronted
with performing a “same-sex marriage”, but every pastor will
live under a menacing cloud of a possible confrontation to
do so. As serious as these issues are, they must be
recognized as ‘symptoms’ and not ‘causes’ of the problems if
they are to be dealt with biblically and effectively. Here
are some of the causes.
Pastors who perform a marriage ceremony
with a State issued marriage license function as a State
authorized/licensed agent of the State to facilitate a
three-party contract between a groom, bride and the State.
license n. = "The permission by
competent authority to do an act which without such
permission, would be illegal."
This is why sodomites are successfully
demanding that anti-homosexual laws be expunged and replaced
with pro-homosexual laws, including the “right” to obtain a
“marriage license”; fifteen states now grant sodomites a
“license to marry”; these “marriages” are recognized as
legal by all fifty states; predictably all states will
eventually pass pro sodomite marriage laws and issue pro
“sodomite marriage licenses”.
The problem of laws granting “sodomites”
a “marriage license” is not the problem; the problem is the
marriage license itself. Prior to the marriage license, marriage was a
family and church matter – not a state matter.
Prior to the marriage license, the common
practice used in the marriage process was known as ‘marriage
banns’, also called the ‘banns of marriage’; this served as
a formal announcement of intent to marry, usually three
weeks before the marriage; the announcement was made by the
pastor and posted on the church door. Marriage had to be
approved both by the parents of the prospective couple and
the church itself.
The banns indicated formal family and church
approval of the marriage. They were also used to root out
illegal marriages, such as those held between people who
were too closely related or already married. The practice of
reading and posting the banns ensured that anyone who
objected to the marriage would have ample opportunity to do
so before the actual day of the wedding. Banns is still
included today during a public Christian wedding ceremony
that include the words, “If anyone here can show just cause
why this couple should not be joined together in marriage,
let him now speak or forever hereafter hold his peace.”
Black's Law Dictionary for Marriage
License:
"A
license or permission granted by public authority to
persons who intend to intermarry, usually addressed to
the minister or magistrate who is to perform the ceremony,
or, in general terms, to any one authorized to solemnize
marriages. By statute in some jurisdictions, it is made an
essential prerequisite to the lawful solemnization of the
marriage." (Emphasis added)
Black's Law Dictionary,
Revised Fourth Edition
The marriage license was created to
legitimize interracial marriage.
Forty U.S. states once prohibited interracial
marriage. Social prejudice accomplished much the same result
in other states. In 1948, the California Supreme Court
became the first state high court to declare a ban on
interracial marriage unconstitutional. At that time, 38
states still forbade interracial marriage, and 6 did so by
state constitutional provision.
Then, in 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court struck
down the remaining interracial marriage laws nation-wide. A
Virginia judge had upheld that state's ban on interracial
marriages, invoking God's intention to separate the races.
The institution of marriage involves a
covenant between a man, a woman, and God. Man and woman, by mutual consent, enter the
arrangement. But the procedure, in order to be valid, must
be consistent with God’s divine law.
Biblical teaching is unequivocal. Jehovah God
created man and from his side fashioned his wife. The two
were designed to “cleave” to one another (Gen 2:21-25). In a discussion with the
Pharisees, Jesus cited this Old Testament evidence, and
declared: “What therefore God hath joined together,
let not man put asunder” (Matt 19:6).
This first marriage that God performed is
clearly the Biblical pattern; the Biblical marriage
relationship is the “cement” that binds society together.
Christian couples should not be marrying
with a State marriage license, nor should ministers be
marrying people with State marriage licenses. Some have said to me, “If someone is married
without a State marriage license, then they aren’t really
married.” Given the fact that government has now legalized
sodomite same-sex marriages, we need to ask ourselves, “If
sodomites marry with a State marriage license, and a man and
woman marry without a State marriage license—who’s really
married? Is it the sodomites with a State marriage license
or the man and woman without a State marriage license?” In
reality, this contention that one is not really married
unless they obtain a State marriage license reveals how
Statist we have become in our thinking. We need to return to
God’s perfect law and live Biblically.
The marriage license is used today to
accommodate/legitimize sodomites ‘same-sex marriages.’
Pastors who continue to use State marriages to perform
wedding ceremonies will do so at their own peril; they
will have no defense when sodomites with a State marriage
license request them to perform their “wedding” ceremony.
Jehovah God has said:
“Behold, I set before you this day a
blessing and a curse; A blessing, if ye obey the
commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you
this day: And a curse, if ye will not obey the
commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of
the way which I command you this day, to go after other
gods, which ye have not known” (Deut 11:26, 28).
