Protecting Christ-Centered Marriages: A Legal Right!

Amendment I


Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

- The Bill Of Rights (emphasis added)

In other words, in the United States of America, we have the LEGAL RIGHT to preach the truth, that "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23) and that "But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:28).  In addition, we have the legal right to state the truth that marriage is one-man, one-woman, unified by Jesus Christ Himself, and to do everything in our power to preach the gospel by defending this institution in a peaceful manner.  That means that we can, in the United States, legally:
1) Preach the truth about marriage
2) Refuse to participate in any activity or ceremony that openly defies the fact that true marriage is one-man, one-woman unified by Jesus Christ
3) Enforce the observance of Christ's definition of marriage in Christian organizations such as churches, schools and businesses by only offering membership to those who recognize Christ's definition of marriage

"Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at him." (Mark 12:17, ESV)
