Why are so many American’s upset about the Supreme Court Ruling about Same-Sex-Marriage. If you aren’t Gay… why do you care? If you stand in your Christian faith, know this…. Absolutely nothing has changed in the Bible. God’s law (or your interpretation of it) is exactly the same as it was before the ruling. We are still responsible to live as God requests and to teach our children to do the same. We are still responsible to be kind and considerate. We are still responsible to be of love and service to our fellow man and spread love and peace throughout the land!
There are many, many, MANY things that are legal but not necessarily Godly and certainly not considered Gods Law. But just because they are legal, doesn’t mean you have to embrace them and incorporate them into your lifestyle. Strip clubs are legal. Pornography is legal. Alcohol is legal. Sex out of wedlock is legal. Having children out of wedlock is legal. Divorce is legal! Having sex with your married friend is legal. Gambling is legal. And now, same-sex-marriage is legal. Whoop-di-do! If you don’t like it, join me on the sideline of “I’m not gonna do that!”
Like all the above, just because they are legal doesn’t mean you have to like them, do them or support them. And I’m pretty sure this is not the “beginning of the end for America”. Other countries have already recognized same-sex-marriage and they didn’t implode. Surprisingly, they haven’t made bestiality legal either (Oh the incredible things people say from fear and intolerance). And before you spout off about how this nation was built on Christian faith and values, remember this…. our forefathers annihilated the natives of this land and then enslaved millions. There was nothing Christian in any of that!
In America’s history, there have been several major events which caused division in the nation. When those events were settled, the decision was sure to cause the decline of America. The Civil War…. Slaves were freed in 1863…. Women fought for the right to vote for over 50 years…. Prohibition in the 1920’s… Mixed race marriages… I could go on but you get the idea. Each of these events (and more) have divided this nation. Yet, none of them have caused it’s demise. And we need to step back from the ridiculousness of assuming a “law of the land” or “mans law” will ever dominate above all.
As we are being so focused on this human issue at hand, we seem to have forgotten that each of us was a NON-gender spirit (soul) before our entry on the planet and we will again be NON-gender when we leave it. I am sure you have noticed, we leave our physical body behind like an old robe. Do you suppose our souls gather around and speculate on the earthly laws? I’m thinking our souls look back at the earth and wonder why we wasted so much time focused on limiting one another instead of raising the level of all humanity to love and service for others.
Ponder this…. what if all the energy created in social media against the Supreme Court Ruling had been focused on healing the sick, promoting wellness, feeding the hungry, or saving lives. Now THAT would be unity vs division. It would be love and service rather than judgment and condemnation. It would be Grace rather than intolerance. It would be miraculous, indeed!
