I like chicken. I'm not chicken to say so.
I'm also not chicken to say that marriage is only between one man and one woman.
Nope, it is not between two men, nor between two women.
That's an abomination.
Leviticus 18
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
And it is not between a man and a woman that have been previously married to another.
That's adultery.
Where do we get the authority to say these things? We get them from the scriptures. The scriptures define marriage.
Mark 10
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Do you see that in verse 8. Once two are married, they will never be two, until death, as the next portion of scripture below will show.
Romans 7
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Are you still with me? This is a lot of spiritual light for many that are are accustomed to being in the dark spiritually. But this is simply giving you scripture to read and learn from. We are not talking about what a church or college teaches. We are not dealing with the tradition of men. Simply what the Lord recorded in the holy scriptures for anyone that is interested to learn.
Its not about chicken, its about "Thus saith the Lord." Many are showing that they are "professing themselves to be wise" while really foolish.
They have been given over to a reprobate mind, as something so honorable, and right, as one man and one woman being joined for life is considered hateful to them. Yet they are standing for what God has already condemned in the scripture, homosexuality. And sadly, many are hypocrites, condemning "gay marriage", but allowing divorced persons to remarry.
So Preacher, before you stand behind your pulpit and deliver your Chick-fil-A message on marriage, make sure your doctrine is scriptural concerning all marriages.
