As we finish tracking down presents for Christmas, I am astounded by all the cool toys in the toy stores. But for many kids, Legos' are still fun and you can buy elaborate kits to build your favorite comic book or movie heroes. I believe that people today are building their own gods the way a child builds Lego characters. If I want him to look like the guy on the box then I will build him that way, but I reserve the right to change him because he is made of Legos'. I read the recent article by Lisa Miller in Newsweek about The Religious Case for Gay Marriage. In the article, Miller makes her argument by slamming marriage in the Old Testament, discounting passages on homosexuality, downplaying marriage in the New Testament and leaving out entire proof texts that would refute her claims. For example, the article claims that the Bible has nothing to say about the sin of two women having a sexual relationship. I wanted to send her an email and say, "Did you even read Romans 1 when researching your article?" She insinuates an improper relationship between David and Jonathan and conveniently leaves out Christ's words about what an ideal marriage should look like. Proponents of gay marriage may someday have a recognition of marriage by civic authorities, but it will never be recognized in the eyes of God - and I believe that reality makes them angry. The same God that gave us the Bible invented marriage and His definition is the only one that truly matters. So do you worship a god of Legos' (a god of your own making), or the God of the Bible? CAP
