Full Time Job Just Correcting Glenn Beck
Response to comment [from a Christian]:
[Jefferson quote: "This is the show from Tuesday August 27th, 2013.
Summary:
* Glenn Beck Won't Give His Wife a Break,
EVER: Regarding the talk show host's claim
that marriage is eternal and continues after
death, Jesus
said to Glenn Beck, "Are you not
therefore mistaken, because you do not know
the Scriptures nor the power of God?", to
which, those in his audience who knew the
Lord responded, "Amen!"
* Glenn Beck Wants to Let Homos Marry:
Regarding the talk show host's ad hoc
method of trying to avoid the topic of
homosexual marriage by saying that the
government should have no authority over
marriage, Hurricane Enyart said to Glenn
Beck: "You are mistaken again because you do
not know the Scriptures." First, our BEL
article
The Bible and Polygamy presents the
prohibition of polygamy in New Testament
times, something it took your
child-sacrificing Mormon cult many
decades to find out. Secondly, our BEL
article
The Government's Role in Certifying Marriage,
explains for example that:
- God instituted family (including
marriage), church, and government
- A marriage is lawful or unlawful, and
enforcement of legality is the government's
domain
- To administer marriage requires the use of
force, including to prevent incestuous
marriage
- The administration of divorce, division of
property, and child custody also requires
force
- Only government can use administrative
force (to compel court appearance, enforce
rulings, etc.)
- Only government can compel testimony
regarding marital status, child custody,
etc.
- God requires marriage for sexual relations
even in atheistic and pagan nations with no
virtually church
- Throughout human history all cultures have
recognized marriage, including pagan
societies
- The Book of Exodus implies that God saw
the marriage of the pagan Potiphar as
inviolable
- Jesus said the Samaritans did not know God
but He recognized their divorce and
remarriage
- A divorced Samaritan woman's cohabitation
did not make the man her husband, Jesus
agreed
- 3,500 years of Judeo-Christian history
since Moses recognized adultery as not only
a sin but as a crime
- Judeo-Christian legal history still
recognizes prostitution as not only a sin
but as a crime
- Government prohibition of prostitution is
related to its certification of marriage
- Government should nullify unlawful
marriages such as those to children and
androgynous marriages
- A bad government, as Jesus showed, like a
bad dad, still has a responsibility to do
rightly
- People should disobey evil government
commands, but otherwise generally submit to
the authorities
- A strictly private or church wedding
protects no one against governmental divorce
decrees
- Without government's authority, God's
institution is destroyed by a virtual
marital anarchy
- Christians who argue otherwise
unintentionally undermine God's institution
by promoting marital anarchy"]
"I agree that Beck is wrong on eternal marriage..."
You'll believe Jesus
or you'll believe Glenn Beck
(Bob Enyart, paraphrased).
Mk 12:25
