This is the fourth and final article in a series of
articles about what to do in the wake of the wicked decision by the Supreme
Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to force states to recognize same-sex
unions as if they were marriages. It’s
time to stop compromising and get back to doing what is right. It’s time to stop getting hung up on things
that don’t matter and to prepare for what is likely to be a great persecution.
What can a godly
statesman or political activist do in these times?
The states can combat the gay marriage ruling by simply
refusing to obey it. If a state chooses
to abolish marriage licenses altogether, they might not have to recognize any
marriage licenses, including those issued to sodomites. There are also efforts to call into question
the eligibility of two SCOTUS justices Kagan and Ginsburg from the case on the
basis of a conflict of interest. But in
the current political climate these are unlikely to succeed.
Short of that, the best thing to do is to support
legislation which reduces the benefits that government hands out as an
incentive for marriage. Get rid of all
tax breaks for marriage. In Ohio, I was
part of a successful effort to get rid of our state inheritance tax. If you have it in your state, urge your
representatives to get rid out it or start a ballot initiative to repeal it if
that is an option in your state. If that
can’t be done, then support the elimination all exemptions, especially the
spousal exemption or allow one to choose any one heir (not necessarily a
spouse) to be exempted from the tax. The
only benefit that a married couple needs to receive from the government is the
recognition that they have joint custody of their children and that only at the
local level. Try to reduce or get rid of
child tax credits, since these now can be had by sodomites. Support legislation to block same-sex couples
from having joint custody of children.
Support state legislation which effectively nullifies unjust federal tax
incentives and penalties, by refunding the state’s citizens of their federal
income taxes or appropriate portions thereof.
Support legislation to protect parental rights from being
taken away by the federal government.
Do not vote for any candidates unless they refuse to have
anything to do with taxpayer funding of sinful behavior. Do not vote for any candidates for county
clerk unless they refuse to issue same-sex marriage licenses. Do not vote for any judges unless they refuse
to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies and refuse to participate in awarding
same-sex couples joint custody of children.
They should not even have custody of children at all if they are in a
same-sex relationship. It is very
harmful to children. It warps their
minds.
I have reached the point where I think that most of my time
would be best spent building up the church and forming biblical congregations
as God intended rather than wasting my time trying to convince those in power who
do not know God to do what is just and right.
If you do decide to get involved in politics, don’t bother with the
federal government. Try to reverse the
damage at the state and local levels.
Summary
We are in the world, but we are not of the world. Avoid situations where people can coerce you
into participating in sinful behavior.
Avoid any dealing with the government, especially the federal
government. Be prepared for
persecution. Learn to depend on other
Christians and on God and try not to be dependent on the wicked for your
livelihood or allow them to have any other hold on you. Be patient with sodomites and other sinners
when witnessing to them realizing that past experiences may have led them into
their wicked lifestyle. But also realize
that if they don’t repent, they will be damned.
Rid yourself of all hypocrisy which includes condoning unbiblical remarriage
after divorce.
