Default OT - In Defense of Religious Marriage

Here is a proposed Constitutional
Amendment codifying marriage entirely on biblical
principles:

A. Marriage in the United States shall consist of a
union between one man and one or more women. (Gen
29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5)

B. Marriage shall not impede a man's right to take
concubines in addition to his wife or wives. (II Sam
5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)

C. A marriage shall be considered valid only if the
wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she
shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)

D. Marriage of a believer and a non-believer shall be
forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12; Neh
10:30)

E. Since marriage is for life, neither this
Constitution nor the constitution of any State, nor
any state or federal law, shall be construed to permit
divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9)

F. If a married man dies without children, his brother
shall marry the widow. If he refuses to marry his
brother's widow or deliberately does not give her
children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be
otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by
law. (Gen. 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)

Think about it! Does this sound like the America that you want to live

in?
Do you think that codifying marriage entirely on biblical principles is

a
good idea?


Nope! Plus I've already written to my senator and expressed my views. He
wrote back saying he agreed with me and would do everything he can to make
sure the President doesn't get his new amendment.

In part he said:
"In modern times, with few exceptions, we have taken the remarkable step of
changing the Constitution to expand the right to participate in our
democratic system and to make structural changes to our system of
representative government. It would be unprecedented to use this mechanism
to restrict the rights of any Americans."
