A Bridge Too Far

          The same-sex marriage debate has generated a lot of opinion but I personally have not heard from anyone else that which I'm going to put in this post today.
          A student of military history and of war would surely recognize this scenario..... the general of the first army in a battle might set up a defensive front or at most conduct limited offensive operations for a period of time all the while planning a bold and aggressive move in hopes of overwhelming army number two. Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson planned something very similar in the battle of Chancellorsville where Jackson's Second Corps flanked the entire left side of the Union army and attacked from the rear... a move so bold that the Union army was taken by surprise and routed.
          It became apparent a few years ago that the gay agenda was no longer attempting to grind out a little advancement at a time but was throwing everything that they had, reserves and all, at America, particularly at it's most cherished possession...no not the Constitution... but the Bible and its definition of marriage. This has nothing to do with discrimination for any legal union would have satisfied that. It has nothing to do with fairness for it is the antithesis of fairness in forcing people to deny their beliefs but none of this is of any consequence compared to one overriding factor. If the trend continues we will have completely turned our children over to not only a godless nanny state but an antichrist nanny state.
          This is not a social issue, it's not even primarily a political issue. It's a head-on frontal assault on Christianity. One nation and one nation alone stands in the way of a totalitarian one-world government and that is the United States and one fundamental core and one fundamental core alone gives legitimacy to the United States in the eyes of God and that is it's Christian faith... once predominate, then dwindling and now not only dispossessed but suffering from amnesia.
          There is a lot of news concerning our rapidly decaying national defense and military readiness but as valuable as this is to our enemies it was never the number one target of theirs. No, they have known from their own inception that unless America renounces its Christian faith, unless its God lifts His hand of protection, unless America is on its own, Americans would never sit back and allow their house to be robbed, their liberties taken away and their families made subservient to a totalitarian state entity. Destroy marriage and brainwash the children in a political correct educational system and America will be taken as easily as Samson after his haircut.
          Scripture is very clear in that rebelling against God is one thing but purposely leading children into rebellion is another level. Try this exercise at your leisure of which we in America hold sacrosanct; imagine a society where same-sex marriage has not only been legitimized but forcibly ingrained into the minds of its people. Imagine trying to raise Christian children in such a society. And one more thing to imagine...you can go to just about any book of the prophets from the Old Testament for research.....then imagine God's reaction to a nation that had sacrificed its children on the pagan altars of the day.
          If we place this issue anywhere other than the very front burner, if we fail to recognize how this will affect the children, if we continue to ignore God's clear word on this and if we judge to be love that which is enmity towards God and compassion that which is utter irresponsibilty then God's judgement upon us may not reveal itself as that of Jonah's forty day waiting period but rather Nahum's proclamation of swift destruction without so much as an offer to repent.
