Subject: Coffee Break ~ Sin or sacred?


"Sin Or Sacred?"


"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
Isaiah 5:20

I accidentally came across a web site tonight and the title of one of the articles caught my attention. It was entitled, "Bush's Sacramental Tyranny". Naturally my curiosity led me to read it. I have to confess that just when I think peoples reasoning has gone as far as it can go, I come across the "Granddaddy of false reasoning"... this article was just that. This article was in defense of homosexual marriages and called theses marriages a sacrament- just like baptism or last rites.

While I agree that marriage (between a man and a woman) is a sacred institution ordained God... homosexual relationships are NOT; they are SIN. You can defend it, you can try to justify it, you can get sympathy for it, you can take a vote on it, you can rename it, and even put another label on it, but it will always be sin- not a sacrament.

The article accused President Bush and the government of defining what constitutes marriage- "The government should stay out of the business of dictating definitions for spiritual matters such as marriage." Their first mistake was in accusing the wrong person. If they have a problem with this they should take it up with the One who gave us the original definition in the first place. God defines marriage; God defines what is sin; God defines what is sacred; God defines what is evil and wicked. You can't change the meaning of something just because it doesn't suit you- besides even if you do it's still the same thing. "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet." Sin by any other name is still sin. So, the word to us this morning... You can't redefine sin and make it acceptable; you can't call it sacred and make it so.

Have a great day. If God calls it sin... it doesn't matter what you call it, it is still sin.
