Although they seem to think they do, five Ivy League-educated lawyers in league with the Prince of Darkness have not the authority to redefine marriage, which was not defined by man in the first place.
God established marriage in Genesis 2:23-24, “The man said, ‘This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.’ Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” (ESV)
The Supreme Court is not the first to try and change the institution’s definition. As Christ explained to the Pharisees in Matthew 19, Moses’ command to issue a certificate of divorce did not change God’s definition of marriage. “… Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.” (Matt. 19:4-9, ESV)
As it was in the beginning, and as it was in the 1st century, so it is today.
While the Supreme Court can write a tortured and illogical ruling to attempt to redefine legal marriage, it has no authority over spiritual marriage as God established. Anything other than a God-sanctioned marriage is sexual immorality.
The five justices who wrote the majority opinion should know that. Two are Catholic. Three are Jews. They were certainly — if they were ever “practicing” Catholics and Jews — taught the truth about marriage. Sadly, they’ve sacrificed their souls on the altar of universalism (look for more on universalism in Monday’s column, “How have we fallen so far?”). They will answer for their apostasy.
Marriage has not changed as far as God is concerned; therefore, it has not changed as far as the Christian is concerned. Take heart in that, fellow Christian.
