In the last quarter of this century same sex marriage is a subject that's brought up at the national level, and it is used by politicians to get into office. Marriage is a definition that is constantly trying to be redefined by people that belief homosexuality is way of creation, while people homosexuality is a choice that should not change definition of marriage. This subject matter is so huge that federal government is involved, and they are the ones that also debate about it. Some believe that the subject matter is important, while others use it as a promotional tool to get into office. Same sex marriage is a subject that not only wastes a lot of intellectual thought, but it also cost tax payers a lot of money. It also creates harm to our constitution by taking a person's ability to make choices on their own, and that's something that God has given to all mankind.
As a believer in Christ I know that homosexuality is a sin, and God made marriage to be for man and woman. Those two point of views will never change, even if government decides to redefine marriage. I did not get my two view points, because government taught me. I came across those view points through God's free will, and God wants us to conclude in the choices that we make. He does not expect government to do that for us, and our independence in our nation is being erased by people being taught to be dependent upon the government. Federal government defining marriage is a dependent upon that, and it is not their role. The federal government's roles are to protect our nation from foreign invaders like our borders, protect us from counterfeiters like the Federal Reserve, and treason like any leader that meets with secret groups like Bilderberg. Their role is not to tell us how to live our lives, because that violates or constitution. It should be a citizen's responsibility on how they should live, and be willing to live with consequences of their actions. I do not think same sex marriage should be force by the federal government, nor should it be force by states, but I think that it should be an individual right. Here are the reasons why I believe that same sex marriage should be an individual right.
First reason comes to mind is that it will take this subject matter away from politics, so it cannot be used as a promotional tool. Next reason that comes to mind from that is that it will not cause tax payers to waste their dollars, so first two reasons support my statement on why federal government should not define marriage. Next reason on why same sex marriage should be an individual right has to do with why I do not think it should be a state right as well, because states definition of it could violate that free will with their defintion. They could violate by making a pastor that does not believe in free marriage do same sex marriage, so that pastor does not have a choice. State's consequences for not performing same sex marriage could cost a pastor his job, and violate his free speech when speaking against it. As well as federal government states could put pastor's into a position to compromise the truth, or lose their right to preach freely.
If that pastor believes in all of God's word, than He knows that homosexuality is a sin, and people He's preaching to as well. They also know marriage is defined between man and woman, and should not need government to define it for them. Through God's free will believers are able choose on rather to follow Christ, or not follow Him. It is through the power of the gospel that believers come to know Christ, and understand His word. In that believers have individual freedom they still have responsibility in obeying God's word, so it is an individual right on rather, or not they want to perform same sex marriage.
Potential consequences of a pastor performing same sex marriage are it can lose its job, and congregation. Those two consequences hopefully are enough for pastor not to perform same sex marriage, but if they are true believers that live God's word, than that subject matter should not be debated. That is why I believe that same sex marriage should be an individual right.
