On Gay Marriage, Politicians Sell Their Souls for Political Gain

By Tricia Erickson, CP Op-Ed Contributor Monday, March 25, 2013

As politicians and politicos read the recent polls, some, who were formerly against gay marriage, opportunistically changed their minds and came out in favor of it, selling out to the destruction of the family for political gain.

I suppose it wasn't enough that politicians sat on the sidelines during the killing of over 50 million aborted babies in the United States. Recently, Hillary Clinton has joined Bill Clinton, Colin Powell, Laura Bush, Rep. Deborah Price, Meg Whitman, Rep Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, President Obama, and many other notables from both sides of the isle by caving to what has become the politically correct position on gay marriage.

Up until his son's recent coming out, Rob Portman was "against" gay marriage. In support of his son, Rob announced that he is now "for" it. As a loving, supporting and responsible parent, given that the venereal disease and suicide rate is high within the gay population, might there be a rational thought for Rob that some intervention be a consideration? I wonder if his son came out as a racist, would Rob support racism as well?

Mitt Romney fathered gay marriage to America. Jon Huntsman recently penned this article, Marriage Equality Is a Conservative Cause. This may be breaking news to some, but Mormon polygamy is still regarded as a holy practice within the church: (Mormon) Prophet John Taylor received this revelation: … woe unto that Nation or house or people who seek to hinder my People from obeying the Patriarchal Law of Abraham [polygamy] which leadeth to a Celestial Glory… for whosoever doeth those things shall be damned said the Lord. Care to ponder what either one of them would bring to the Office of the Presidency?

The legalization of same sex marriage will open the door to legalized polygamy. And if gay marriage is legally acceptable, what's to stop family members from marrying each other, or grown men and women from marrying children? Why stop there when bestiality hangs in the wings? These are scenarios we need to keep in mind as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear two same-sex marriage cases.

For those of you who still claim to be followers of Christ, let me be politically incorrect in harking back to you the Word Of God on this matter:

How can we expect the Lord's protection of our nation when Leviticus 24 states: Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled

More verses:

Romans
(24) Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another
(25) They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped created things rather than the Creator
(26) Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural 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 indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. (Could this be referring to our nation's STD rates and the astronomical infections of AIDS?)
First Corinthians 6:9 states that homosexual offenders will not inherit the kingdom of God.

We think that we are invincible, but are we? The truth is, we don't know if we have even five more minutes to live. I've never heard of anyone on their death bed saying "I wish that I could have done more to support the killing of preborn babies" or "I wish I could have worked harder to destroy God's definition of marriage and the protection of our most vulnerable children through His designation of what constitutes a holy union" or "Gosh! Before I die, maybe I can swing a few more votes to my side by lifting my middle finger to God for all to see".

I humbly submit to the American People that the consequences of what is perceived to be politically correct stances, adopted by our nation's politicians and leaders, are now manifesting not only to their own eternal demise but also to the demise of our great nation.

Mark 8:6 - For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
