God's Remedy was not Another Man

These are things I learn, from the scriptures, and from prophets, that relate to same-sex marriages. I will give you just two, for that is enough.

One, from Genesis 2, I read how the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make an help meet for him."

The Lord God then caused the man to sleep. And, while he slept, God fashioned a woman to come out of the rib of the man.

So, it was not good that the man be alone. And, God's remedy was not another man, but a woman.

Second, this from those I consider modern prophets. It was given a dozen years ago, in 1995. "God has commanded that the sacred powers of procreation are to be employed only between man and woman, lawfully wedded as husband and wife."

"Lawfully wedded as husband and wife," it says.

This passage is taken from "The Family: A Proclamation to the World," dated 1995. That would be a dozen years ago, while the debate on same-sex marriage was already fully awhirl, but perhaps before it had reached the crescendo it now has attained. At church today, Brother Tim Williams noted the timing on the release of the Proclamation, that God's word was in place in advance of us considering the issue today.
