Coming your Way: The Destruction of Marriage

[HankD]

And, countless people do it 2, 3, or 4 times! Marriage means next to nothing today.

It does provide some financial protection for the wife and offspring assuming it's faithfully paid.

I’m not abandoning anything Rob ... I’m married over 32 years to my wife and now it’s just getting good, kids outa the house etc

I hear ya. Me and the wife sometimes wonder why we waited so long to have kids. We could of started 5 years earlier, and they'd be close to driving themselves everywhere.

With all due respect to this guy (never heard of him before) he doesn't know he's born.

If you read the entire article, I think you'd agree that Moore would agree with Ashendon on this issue. Moore is currently president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, the public-policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Yes, Moore explains:

SBC leader says Christians should not attend a same-sex wedding

Russell Moore, head of the SBC Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, said during a three-day conference on “The Gospel, Homosexuality, and the Future of Marriage” in 2014 that while he would not attend a gay friend’s wedding ceremony, he would attend the wedding reception.

“I think that what a wedding ceremony is is a gathering of witnesses who by their very presence are saying, ‘We are here in order to support this couple and to walk with this couple forward, hold them accountable and to walk forward,’” Moore explained. “In that case, I would not attend the wedding. Now, I would attend the reception. I think it’s a different thing.”

I must have missed the post in which someone said, "We should abandon a defense of Biblical marriage".

Sorry, I must have misunderstood "destroyed."

Maybe as an old married guy I was too sensitive to that remark.

Is the cleric in the OP married?

That’s OK... long term you will view them as a blessing...even short term. Then come the grand children LOL

Is the cleric in the OP married?

I have no idea. I looked up his website, but it says nothing about a wife, so perhaps not.
He is a 'High Church' Episcopalian, and I would not necessarily recommend his theology or anything else. But he is one guy who has had the courage to come out of a comfortable living within the C of E to protest against the move to same-sex 'marriage.' I think the clip is worth listening to, that's all.

I too found it strange his own bio does not mention his wife.

It says "He has lectured in the USA as a visiting theologian for the Lutheran Church in Oregon." I found which one it was, an ELCA church: link
