New York Redifines Marriage, Rejects Judeo-Christian Basis of Law

New York Versus The Bible- Who Is Right?

Perhaps we should say of the People of New York, after their leaders adopted a new form of “marriage” that falls outside the Biblical definition of marriage, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

In Albany, New York 4 Republican RINOs betrayed their own party’s platform and agreed instead to “legislate” amorality from the state capital, giving official state sanction and protection to a form of relationship roundly condemned in the Bible.

We don’t live in a theocracy, so no religious court is going to veto this law. We have a republican form of government in which whatever voters believe is reflected in who and what they vote for or support. Of course some, accusing anyone who wants to vote on the basis of any God-centered belief of being for “theocracy”, want to limit WHAT KIND of beliefs can be used by voters to inform their choices. In short, they use anti-religious courts to impose an a-theocracy over the People whenever the People vote for anything the anti-religious fundamentalists deem to be influenced by God or the Bible.

New York rejected the Biblical definition of marriage and embraced a humanistic definition of marriage and thereby rejected both the Bible and God as the moral and ethical basis of its laws. In doing this, New York stepped firmly into the camp of those nations whose god is NOT the Lord God Jehovah and His Christ!

It is entirely within the natural sovereignty of the People to choose the moral and ethical basis of their laws and ordinances. The People of New York chose secular humanism as the moral and ethical basis of their law and rejected a Christ-centered moral and ethical foundation. This is their right, but let’s make no mistake about what they have done- they chose the philosophies of men over the love of God.

It must be noted, however, that those same People can decide, later, to reject secular humanism and embrace the Judeo-Christian moral and ethical worldview as the basis of THEIR laws and ordinances- a shared natural sovereinty denied by the anti-religious fundamentalists with their limited, atheistic “version” of “democracy.”

The process of rejecting one set of morals and ethics for another was indirectly democratic, with duly elected officials voting for a law based on THEIR moral/ethical views and interests. Unlike in other states, therefore, New Yorkers cannot claim that what the Bible calls “sinful” was imposed by courts without popular consent.

The PEOPLE of New York State, in electing the kind of leaders who can’t stand up to the so-called “gay lobby”, who fear men more than they do God, are just as “guilty” of defying God’s definition of marriage, as if they were engaging in this “choice” themselves.

The question is not about “church and state.” If one believes that the Bible is right when it says that “righteousness exalts a nation” but that sin brings it down, then no pretzel logic is going to save New York State from the consequences of choosing the philosophies of men over the truth of God. If God’s Word is NOT right, then New York State has nothing to fear, but God’s Word makes it clear in Roman 13 what the duty of the state is, and defying God’s truth in their laws and ordinances is not acceptable to God.

This is about the People and their rights of self-government in a free republic where the People rule. Any notion that any single voter or any group of voters must “check” their values and beliefs at the door when it’s time to vote is the opposite of democracy! Either the People Rule, which means they decide what values and beliefs will inform their vote, or they don’t.

The People ruled in New York- they chose human secularism over the Judeo-Christian worldview: they only have God to answer to for this.

If God is who He says He is and if His Word is true, then defying it is foolishness. If this is not the case, then following it is, at best, “good” from a utilitarian perspective.

One who embraces God and His Word as true cannot support anything or anyone that goes against Him or His Word- not privately, not publicly. With God you are all in or you are all out!

Every New Yorker who lines themselves up with the people or party behind this change in moral/ethical foundations is disqualified from saying they believe in the Bible or Jesus Christ. To accept what God rejects or, worse, to try to convince people that God accepts what His Word says He rejects, is heresy.

We don’t burn heretics, we never should have, we pray for their souls!

We don’t live in nor want a theocracy where a religious elite say “God said!” to justify their tight control. Neither do we want an a-theocracy where those ideas and beliefs that comes from faith or religion are taken off the table by an anti-God elite who say “Human rights!” to justify their tight control.

By taking this action, democratically, in a manner well within their right, the People of New York have collectively, as a “nation”, stepped so far out from under God’s righteous standard as to condemn themselves to whatever judgment He might have for their state. If God is not true nor His Word, then the only “harm” could be harm defined in human terms, and that is debatable. One can hardly argue that allowing men to marry men and women to marry women is GOOD for the socio-cultural health of the whole People, although some will do precisely that!

The People can change their fate only by standing firm against this and by voting against all who support such a godless basis of law.

It is not for us to say “the People of New York can’t do this”, we accept and embrace democracy and a republican form of government. What we can say, and must say, is that by choosing a law that defies God’s Word, because the People themselves reject the primacy of God’s Word, then the only help the People of New York State can depend on is humans, and the Bible says “cursed is he who trusts in flesh.”

We pray for the People of New York that God would have extended mercy, that He would not punish them, that for many the issue of what they see as human rights is more important than trying to stop people from “sinning”, and that He would remember His own Word where it says that He loved us while we were yet sinning against Him.
