Oden Fong on Prop 8

I borrowed this from my friend Bill Walden over at http://www.pastorbillwalden.com/ who (no doubt) borrowed it from Oden Fong:

"Maybe we should render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things which are Gods. Marriage between a man and a woman is God’s proclamation. God doesn’t recognize marriage outside of what He had decreed, just as Caesar doesn’t recognize God. The carnal mind cannot discern spiritual things.

If Caesar decides to have same-sex marriages, we may grieve but have no say in the matter. Our votes do not count when you have people in power who say that the proposition you voted for was illegal to begin with.

They have already decided that homosexuality is something people are born to be and therefore it is normal. If you feel something strongly with great conviction, it’s normal! Even if the biological plumbing doesn’t fit.

These same minds believe that we are a cosmic accident; from the Big Bang to many smaller bangs. Our existence is purely accidental and there is no Designer.

I predict that same-sex marriages will become commonplace in the world’s civilizations because man has fallen so far from God that morality will become more and more perverse until morality no longer exists for the majority of humanity.

It’s in the prophecies. Perhaps, we should, rather than trying to fight what is already going to happen (politically), we should fight to rise above the darkness ourselves and stay close to the Lord.

The church is filled with carnality. Why should anyone listen to the Body of Christ if the Body is carnal? Most secular people believe that they are at least as moral as the Christian they know.

Jesus and the apostles, including Paul did not fight directly against secular perversion, but proclaimed the kingdom of God in contrast. They did not try to overthrow the idol worshipping culture with it’s temple prostitutes. They extended God’s pardon of salvation through Jesus Christ to all who would accept it.

Behold Noah and his family, how they escaped while the rest of the world was washed away. Judgment is in the hands of the Almighty! Those who scoff at God will find themselves at the wrong end of His judgment. It’s so sad. It’s heartbreaking that mankind has chosen (once again) this path leading to his own destruction."
