Even straights are not married under a matramony. You still have to go to a court.

Also must i remind that we are not judges God is.

Im not arguing same sex marriage. Im arguing matrimony vs marriage. I dont think God recognizes marriage only matrimony. Afrer a matrimony, God recognizes you as a unit. But yet, the government doesnt. Because you have to do papers and its put in the system. Why do people think it isnt the same visa versa - if you get married God doesnt recognize you as a unit. You still need to do a matrimony

Im catholic. And im pretty sure that God would never really.. Care about the law. It is man made and well curropted. That has nothing to do with same sex marriag. Even far before same sex marriage.

But i know all these people who say same sex marriage defies God blah blah BUT marriage is legal not religious... Matrimony is religious..

Matrimony is the binding under God. a ceremony that recognized the two as a couple UNDER GOD not the law. even after a matrimony you must go to the court to get married.

Marriage is the government recognizing you as a unit. It is for tax breaks, and if the other is in the hospital and visitations must be limited then the other part of the unit is allowed in.

Is it that people confuse the Government for God?

Marriage existed long before any of the existing religions was founded.



Marriage in any civilised nation is a matter for the government and not for any church. When you get a marriage license, you have to get it from the state, not from the church. Divorces are matter for secular courts, not religious ones.



So yes, you are completely missing the whole point.

They don't understand the difference between believe in v worship, or unclean v sinful, or unlimited v unconditional.

Your comparison is completely beyond them.

I see your point. Marriage is Caesars and Matrimony is Gods.



Good luck.

Christians get the required marriage license because Jesus told us "Give to Caesar's that which is Caesar's, and to God that which is God's". So we pay a few bucks and get the silly license, but that has nothing whatsoever to do with actually being married.

No matter how anyone looks at it, homosexual marriage, or matrimony, is forbidden by God. Period. End of story.

You really need to take the anti-psychotic meds EVERY DAY like the nice doctor said.

God instituted both marriage and civil government.
