The Marriage Protection Amendment

In the next several weeks, both the U.S. Senate and the House will vote on the Marriage Protection Amendment (M.P.A.) to the Constitution. This amendment will define marriage in the United States as the union of only one man, and one woman.

“Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman."

Currently, Massachusetts remains the only state to recognize gay marriage. However,within the past three years judges in several states have sided with homosexual activists and ruled that "gay marriage" should be legalized.

Many people are saying that the Bible does not say anything condeming gay marriages. I beg to differ. Here are just a couple of the many places in the Bible that talk about homosexuality.

Leviticus 18:22 (NIV)
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

Leviticus 20:13 (NIV)
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Contact your Senators and Congressmen today and tell them they need to support The Marriage Protection Amendment.
