22nd October 2013 in Australia:
The ACT Labor Government passed its Marriage Equality Same-Sex
The Federal Government has
confirmed it will go ahead with a High Court challenge after the ACT today
became the first Australian jurisdiction to legalise same-sex marriage….
Today it has been announced that
the ACT “labor” government has passed a local law to allow seme sex marriage by
9 votes to 8. It was wrong
for the country's smallest government, by just one vote, to change the meaning
of marriage for all Australians between a man and a woman.
The Fundamentals of Marriage
(Chapter 1
from the Book “I support Marriage, Spanish Version”)
The idea of the marriage was born in God’s mind long before the creation of the universe and of the humanity. It is important to know the story of the creation because, this explains that the world and life has its origins not by chance or by evolutions, but all of this comes from the hand of a Mighty and Supreme God.
After God have created the heavens, the stars, the earth, the animals of the earth and sea; the most precious moments have come for the creation of the human life.
The Holy Scripture tells us that God said; “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, So God created
mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”
Now, why God created a male and female? The narration continues saying; “God
blessed them and said to them, be fruitful and increase in number; fill the
earth and subdue it”. This is the reason for what God created two lives with opposite
sex; to multiply and to fill the earth.
So after Adam was created, God made Eve who
was the ideal partner. A beautiful woman with a beautiful body which reveals
the difference of compare to a male body; she had boots and beautiful curves
and was made with a special reproductive organ so she could bear children which
is the main purpose of the creation. The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a
helper suitable for him. So the Lord God caused
the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of
the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a
woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.”
This narration allows us to understand how God in His mighty wisdom have
created the origins of the first marriage or the first union between a man and
a woman.
The narrations also tell us that when Adam saw the woman he said; that when he saw Eve he said; “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.” So, in this way was God who gave the woman to the man establishing with this event the institution of marriage when He said: “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” God then did confirm his purposes as the Scriptures say; “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good” (Gen. 1:31)
Through out the
years and centuries, the society have accepted the validation of the union
between a man and a woman and also validated it by performing the civil union
accepted by the laws. Also we the believers in God have accepted and validated
such union bringing it into the blessing of God by performing the religious
ceremony before God’s presence where we make promises to each other. Moreover
we have crated civil register were we record such unions in order to guarantee
the rights and heritage of our descendent children.
The majority of
Latin countries have adopted the rights that the woman will bare the surname of
the husband adding the article “de” which means “of” as a notation that she is
married to her husband. And in the western countries is more popular that the
woman will adopt the surname of her husband. As a result the offspring will
bare the same surname which becomes to be the family name.
Later, we come to the time when Jesus was in His personal ministry on earth, He did confirm the truth of the marriage union when he attended an invitation to a wedding at Cana of Galilea (John Chap 2). In the same way the apostles of the church reassure the holiness of the marriage by saying; “4 Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure” (Hebrews 13:4).
While man tries to change laws
God’s laws it still will be the same… We the people, who support, protect
and defend the institution of marriage between a man and a woman as instituted
by God, are completely shock by the decisions of some politicians who have
turned their backs to the country majority and to God’s laws. There is not a
call to any referendum and God has just been ignored when this legislation
affects the institution of marriage and the children’s future as they will be
denied the right to be rise up by a man and a woman as parents.
Romans Chap. 1:
“26 Because of this, God gave them over
to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for
unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural
relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed
shameful acts with other men (woman with other woman), and received in
themselves the due penalty for their error”
Further more; we need to
consider that God himself is an unchangeable God and because of Hi great love
He forgives de sin of those who turns from their weak ways and seek Him as
Jesus said to the sinner woman; “Go and sin no more”. There is a list of sins
that God has cursed and this includes sex relations within the same sex, ex. Leviticus
20: “13 if a man has sexual relations
with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable”
(same for woman) Detestable before God! Now, let me say that God is unchangeable
therefore and under God’s law this action remains detestable.
Finally I pray for our nation which has
been founded under Christians beliefs, I pray for the government so that this
will uphold what is right, I pray for the church so that we will bring our prayers
together before God, I pray for the children who are or will be denied the
right to have a man a dad as parents. I
pray for the blessing of the marriages as instituted by God.
God bless Australia
