Just recently, Newsweek magazine published an article that attempted to make a scriptural argument for same-sex marriage. Space would not permit dealing with all the errors that the writer makes with regard to the biblical text. At the very least, it demonstrates the ignorance many people have in understanding God's word. It also shows how far the media has strayed from fair and reasonable treatment of a biblical issue. Thus, the article aims to prove that conservatives are wrong in holding that biblical marriage is between a man and a woman. The article begins by asserting that the Bible provides no clear model of what biblical marriage actually is.

There is a stark difference between racial issues and homosexuality: homosexuality is about a lifestyle choice while race is determined by genetics. When the Human Genome Project was completed, there was not a shred of evidence that homosexuality was genetic in nature. Christians are in the middle of a battle for truth. In the face of such fierce opposition, may we always strive to defend the word of God.
