Ramifications of Gay Marriage

May 27, 2008


What do you think about the gay marriage ruling? In your mind, what is the biblical way to interact with "sinners" who are gay?

Perhaps it's not much of a surprise to some, but I was shocked to learn that Same Sex Unions are now legal in California. This seems like a HUGE change in American culture. While homosexuality has been accepted for a long time, gay marriage is new - adding a new wrinkle to the face of American Homosexuality.

This turns up the heat on the Homosexual issue in the Church! It brings to the fore several questions:

- Would you perform a gay marriage? - What is the biblical, appropriate way to relate with gay folks? - Is banning gay marriage good? Is it better to let people do what they want?

All kinds of controversy and debate swirls around these questions. Here are a few links of people talking about this:
The Fermi Project has a new essay on the topic.
In The Agora has an interesting piece on gay marriage, with diverse opinions in the comment section.
The Christian Post has 6 articles on this. This one talks about the ramifications for California churches.
