Christ died for our transgressions, but it takes sincere and heart-felt change/repentence before that blood can be applied. It is never done by force. So I cannot force a person from another religion to come to Christ, they must hear have the chance to hear the word and then the choice is theirs. It is not about physical force, to make someone go through the actions (which is insincere), but it is about change from within, which is what Christ was about. If they open themselves to God's grace, the Holy Spirit does the convicting!
I didn't say anything about physical force. Just a little discrimination. Say....not recognizing any marriage except between Christians...and maybe Jewish people.
Quote
Not only would my support of such an abomination be an offense to God, but a mockery of the institute of marriage. A nation that supports such a mockery, is an affront to God. Individuals who claim to be Christians should stand up and do their best to keep and protect the sanctity of marriage where and when they can.
We can support that by getting the government to refuse to recognize the mockery of a marriage between 2 Hindus, or 2 Wiccans, or 2 atheists. The sanctity of real marriage, sanctioned by God, would then be preserved.
I mean, really, how can they hope to stay together without swearing before God that they would do so? How can we let the government approve of a union that is only sanctioned by a make-believe god?
A faith that connot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets. -- Arthur C. Clarke
