Marriage as God wants it

JOHANN CHRISTOPH ARNOLD.


All week long, New York newspapers have published articles celebrating gay marriage, with front-page photos of men (or women) kissing each other. Almost everyone appears to be rejoicing, but I wonder how happy these couples really are.

I would like to believe that they are happy, and yet I know that marital bliss can be attained only when God’s order – that is, marriage between one man and one woman – is adhered to. Such marriages were long considered to be the bedrock of civilization, but civilization as we know it is now doomed, because this foundation is being destroyed and redefined.

By declaring God’s laws irrelevant, we are sending a wrong message to our children. Instead of congratulating ourselves on being open-minded and tolerant, we should start worrying about the confusion and emotional trauma we are bestowing on our children and youth.

My family was expelled from Germany at a time when Hitler had perfected the art of propaganda. He knew that if you tell a lie often enough, it eventually becomes accepted as truth. This is exactly what happened in Germany, and it is happening in our country now. Lies are proclaimed as truth, and any opposing voice is silenced.

I pray that the many people in our country who still believe in right and wrong will have the courage to express themselves publically on this important issue. We need a national referendum to decide what direction we want for our future. And we need to pray for our children and youth, who are fast becoming confused.

Let us return to the time when our nation put its full trust in God. In the end, God’s truth cannot be silenced, and will be victorious
