The Modern Family

There it was in living color — An ABC Television newsman interviewing a couple who had adopted 12 kids.
The info bar at the bottom, read, “The Modern Family.”
What our illustrious news anchor was calling the modern family were two gay guys who had adopted a dozen kids.
The thing that concerns me is, he may be right.
After all, it appears that is the direction we are moving in, and, news stations like ABC and other liberal broadcasts are singing the praises of gay marriages, calling them “the modern family.”
If they are the modern family, what does that make a heterosexual couple — historic? Archaic? Out-dated?
Are we really calling homosexual couples and gay marriages the wave of the future?
So what’s wrong with it?
What’s wrong is that little by little we are breaking down the inhibitions of society.
Here are 12 kids who will most likely grow up and see nothing wrong with it, and, who will most likely teach their kids that there’s nothing wrong with it, and on and on it goes.
I already know by name some who will write and criticize me for speaking out against homosexuality and call me homophobic, which is not the case at all.
I have friends that are gay, but they still know my stance on the subject.
The Bible calls sexual activity between two men, or two women, “an unnatural act.”
God designed families as a man and a woman, able to “multiply and replenish the earth.”
Had He made two men instead of a man and a woman, Adam and what’s-his-name would still be wondering how to bear children.
Oh that’s right — adopt.
We are breaking down the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman by calling homosexual and lesbian couples the “modern family.”
I know the argument of “God made me this way.” Well, then it’s all right for me to be cantankerous and to follow my sinful nature because apparently He made me that way.
No He didn’t. We are what we are by sinful nature. It’s our goal to overcome the sinful nature by and with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Is it scripturally right for a married individual to have an extramarital affair, or a man to take from another man?
Is it right for one to belittle another or to take another’s life in cold blood? Of course not.
But God made us that way. He put emotions like hatred and desires in us so it must be all right to go ahead and use it.
We all know that’s not the case at all. And we know that our society would be wild and dangerous if we all just went with our feelings.
God didn’t make us this way. We are this way because of a result of sin, and we are to work to overcome the sinful nature, not to exploit it.
