Quoth you. Would that include the State of California? If so, what was Prop 8 about? I though Prop 8 defined marriage because enough folks thought they had the right to define it for other folks. This is a good way to start a fight. You're a pastor and you should know these things. If Prop 8 is against the Good Book, the discussion over divorce is out of line too and Prop 8 should be overruled putting everything back to where it was. Nuff said. “Marriage is not something you or I or anyone has the right to define.” Quoth you. Would that include the State of California? If so, what was Prop 8 about?

Let me restate Joe the Plumber's questions to you, because I would truly like to know what you think. 1. Should adultery that is not rape (consensual adultery) be illegal? If not, why not? 2. Should fornication that is not rape (consensual fornication between adults) be illegal? If not, why not? 3. Should divorce be illegal? If not, why not? When I said, "'Til death do us part" at my wedding, I meant it. I did not enter my marriage lightly. I honestly believe that divorce should not be an option for anyone. Regarding the Bible's stance on abortion: Didn't Baby John the Baptist leap for joy in Elisabeth's womb when he felt the presence of Baby Jesus in Mary's womb? I have heard this used as an argument to equate abortion with murder. Just thought I'd add to the discussion. I am entirely serious, Pastor Briggs.

Part of the church's responsibility is to defend the teaching of the Bible when it comes under attack. The bible has a very clear definition of marriage, one man, one woman. As a Christian who believes the Bible to be the truth of God to all mankind I committed to defend it when it is attacked or denied. No man, no culture and no government has the authority to redefine marriage. God created it, God gave it to us and we are called to embrace it and practice it. To choose not to but to engage in sexual activity is to be fornicators, adulterers or homosexuals which is to sin against God and live in rebellion. This will bring about eternal punishment from a just and holy creator who calls us to a better way, His way, through faith in His Son. The society that chooses to rebel against God and His law is heading for disaster and destruction. History testifies to this for those who have eyes to see. The seeds of America's destruction are sown, but thankfully there is still hope of redemption through Jesus Christ.

As a Christian pastor concerned for truth and righteousness and may I add justice, I do not have time to engage with those who are simply messing about with serious issues. In order to respect you and your questions I am more than happy to respond in private but no longer in this forum. My interaction with Joe the Plumber indicated that there is no point in continuing serious discussion with those who are only interested in mocking. I do not regard this site as a serious place for discussion of the issues. I am interested in serious discussion and engaging kindly and honestly with those who do not agree with me so as to ensure that the issues at stake in this whole debate are truly opened up. I presently view you as sincere and desiring honest answers from what I have written. Here is my response to your questions for public consumption, after that I will be happy to interact by private correspondence if you are interested. 1. Queation about abortion not being listed as a sin. As the sixth commandment states, You shall not murder, what aspect about that don't you understand? Abortion is murder, it is the killing of the unborn human being in the womb. If you deny abortion is the killing of the unborn human being in the womb then I can see why you struggle here. Life as we know it begins at conception, to abort life is to murder and violate one of God's most fundamental laws. It is as clear as the noon day sun Natalie, abortion is murder and a violation of the sixth commandment. 2.The term 'marriage' is found 27 times in the scriptures Natalie, i can send you the references if you are interested. They all refer to one man and one woman. This is the biblical defintion of the marriage. As a Christian I must uphold and defend the biblical defintition. 3.The issue of rights is not the same as the redefining of marriage. I believe that this has to be clear. If the issue is unjust treatment of homosexuals then let us have that discussion but do not confuse it with what marriage is. Warmest regards RB Natalie
