The little brown people in Californication were right in voting to deny homosexuals the special privilege of equality, but they were wrong in picking and choosing which Bible verses they would follow, as Mary-worshipers so often do. It is time that we True Christian™ True Republicans™ demanded that our leaders address a threat to the sanctity of traditional marriage that is almost as serious as same-sex "marriage," namely, remarriage after divorce.
Our Lord said the following about the disgusting and anti-family lifestyle choice of remarriage after divorce:
Matt. 5:32: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Matt. 19:9: And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Mark 10:11-12: And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Luke 16:18: Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her] husband committeth adultery.
Since Jesus, being the Son of God, never contradicted Himself, and since "fornication" and "adultery" are different words for a reason, we must apply the principle that
Scripture interprets Scripture to harmonize Matthew with Mark and Luke. The "fornication" to which Our Lord referred in Matthew was something that would keep the marriage from becoming valid in the first place, namely, whoredom before marriage (which is what "fornication" means anyway). Given that reading, the Gospels agree. Thus, hippy-dippy liberal "Christians" at Conservapedia and elsewhere who claim that sexual immorality after marriage gives them a license to divorce and remarry are mocking the Word of God.
If you and your spouse do go your separate ways, what are you to do? The Bible, as always, has the answer, although it may not be what you want to hear:
Romans 7:2-3: For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of [her] husband. So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
1 Cor. 7:10-11: And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife.
In other words, if you cannot be reconciled, you must live alone as long as your spouse lives.
The Bible does provide one exception. If someone receives Christ, but that person's spouse does not, the unsaved spouse (but not the Christian) has the right to initiate a divorce:
1 Cor 7:15: But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us to peace. (Note that this is the actual text of the King James Bible, not some blasphemous "inclusive language" Bible.)
Finally, if having two mommies or two daddies will inflict irreparable psychological harm on a child, as even false conservatives understand that it will, the children will surely be much more damaged if the divorced and remarried (i.e., adulterous) parent brings home a string of mommies or daddies. Won't someone please think of the children?
Therefore, to be consistent, we should demand that our leaders amend both the Defense of Marriage Act and the constitution of every state to declare that no marriage, civil union, domestic partnership, or contractual relationship purporting to approximate marriage shall be valid if it involves someone who has been divorced from another person, with the sole exception of a Christian who has been divorced from a non-Christian who initiated that divorce. Please take the time to contact your members of Congress and your state legislature about this urgent matter.
Please note that in saying the above, I am not bigoted against divorced people, any more than defenders of opposite-sex marriage are bigoted against lesbian and gay people. I am not anti-them; I am simply pro-us.
