I will assume by your use of the phrase “extreme right”, that you mean normal people.

Maybe straight people shouldn’t have started divorcing at a 50% rate, devaluing marriage and their vows.

And don’t say it’s not happening at an high rate inside the church: 1 out of every 3 marriages in the Southern Baptist church end in divorce.

If believers can’t uphold the sanctity of marriage, then they shouldn’t complain about same sex marriage.

Awful argument and you know it. The point is the acceptance of degeneracy when we should’ve taken a stand. Hopefully the Supreme Court will fix this soon.

For sure they shouldn't have...but the fact that they did is not what led to same-sex marriage.

That said, I'm not going to declare the above quoted text an awful point, as Jesus did talk about removing the plank from your own eye so that you could see to remove the splinter from your brother's, and Jesus' directions for what marriage was supposed to be like were just as clear as the passages on homosexuality, yet for some reason lots of churches ignore them.

And one thing that really seemed to annoy Christ was hypocrisy.

We could continue tracing it back to before gay marriage to domestic partner benefits that was promoted by Levi's, Gap, Boeing, etc.

Limbaugh would often make a similar point that every time the left had a "victory" like legalizing gay "marriage" they were NEVER happy about said "victory" and would invariably and almost immediately find another indignation to crusade for. Like they were angry that they won their argument.

The left is certifiable.

Yes, and they deceived us regarding the way that happened. They were going state-by-state, and I think they needed 38.states in order to do a constitutional amendment. But when that stalled, the Supreme Court stepped in and made it the law if the land.

And then Obama, who had lied in 2008 and said he was against same-sex marriage, even though he's on record being for it as of 1996, lit up the White House with those repulsive colors.

Divorce for anything other than sexual immorality or abandonment by an unbeliever is also against God's plan for marriage and family, and remarrying under any circumstances other than those is adultery. That stuff is also degeneracy.

Jesus was clear about that.

Don’t indulge him on changing the argument. The acceptance of gay marriage is clearly not biblical so this is a political argument not a religious one.

Right, but neither is the acceptance of heterosexual couples getting divorced and remarried for reasons other than the Bible specifies. Just as clearly.

O.k., fair enough, as long as you're not using the Bible to justify your political stance. If you are, then it's just as applicable in both cases.

As a follower of the Lord Jesus, I think local churches ought to do as much they can by the grace of God to strengthen marriage and families. It takes two to make a marriage work and flourish but only one to wreck it.

Beyond that, a failed marriage is not justification for a nation to institutionalize perversion. A failed marriage does not promote unnatural sex. Gay marriage always does. Failed marriages do not distort the imago Deo; gay marriage always does.

Adultery is indeed immoral but it is not unnatural. Gay marriage is always immoral and is always unnatural.

I think it started before that. I don't know exactly the baby steps that led to gay marriage, but I do remember the controversy when Hollywood made a movie of The Fox back in the 60s. I think the movie and I assume the short story had openly identifiable lesbians as the main characters.

The series The Wire, praised by many, has 2 of the main characters openly gay with intimate scenes.

We've now progressed to the point where a queer character has to be in everything and you're a detestible person if you don't accept queers, and gay marriage, and drag queens in public, and hedonistic gay pride parades, and transitioning gender identity in children.

The slide in to hell began the day EVE ate the apple, and Adam followed, it's called SIN, and the word of GOD says what will happen as a result,

The devil is real, and he knows the day of judgement is nearing
