Homosexual wedding
Why we call it a gay wedding or a woman loving woman wedding
Every now and again, I get asked why we summon some of the weddings we feature on Equally Wed a gay wedding or a sapphic wedding. It&#;s a fair interrogate if you&#;re not in the publishing world. And the acknowledge is simple yet detailed. I&#;ll break it out into a few segments.
The first reason we use terms such as male lover wedding, lesbian wedding, same-sex wedding or LGBTQ wedding is SEO. Our readers are using these terms to search for wedding planning inspiration that is tailored to them.
The second reason is that we are a marginalized community. Now you might tell that using terms such as gay wedding or lesbian wedding further marginalizes us by creating a separate word to characterize us when we fought so hard to be able to have our weddings legally established. Absolutely! I get that. But because we are a marginalized community, our weddings aren&#;t ever going to be of the cisgender heterosexual white skinny middle-class wedding variety that our community tends to value the most. And that&

Same-Sex “Wedding” Invite: What Should I Do?
The wedding ceremony was for a seal coworker when I worked at the public library and did not include a personal affair with Christ. In fact, I was on the other side pole of values then compared to now. The myth that love is love had beguiled me, thinking that if a Christian is against homosexual marriage, it should not prevent others from getting married.
What Is Marriage?
God has shown me the error in my humanistic thinking. As he is the one who created marriage as the sacred union between man and girl, he is the only one who can define what a marriage is. And as in other cases, we find the start of marriage in Genesis.
God created Eve to be Adam’s perfectly suitable companion, created in the image of God and complementary to him. Before God created her, he first showed Adam male and female pairs of animals for him to name, likely so that he would realize he alone was without a corresponding partner.
Regardless, our culture has twisted marriage by taking what God has deemed good and adding “same-sex” and “gay” before it. The rel
The Case Against Christians Attending a Gay Wedding
The case against Christians attending a gay wedding is relatively straightforward. We can lay out the case in three premises and a conclusion.
The Argument
Premise 1: Lgbtq+ “marriage” is not marriage.
No matter what a government may sanction, the biblical definition of marriage (see Gen. –25, Mal. –15, Matt. –6; Eph. –33) involves a man and a woman. I won’t belabor the point, because I assume in this post that I’m speaking to those who consent with the Westminster Confession of Faith when it says, “Marriage is to be between one gentleman and one woman” (WCF ). Gay “marriage” is not only an offense to God—sanctioning a gentle of sexual activity that the Bible condemns (Lev. ; ; Rom. –27; 1 Cor. –10; 1 Tim. –10)—gay “marriage” does not actually exist.
Premise 2: A gay wedding celebrates and solemnizes a lie.
Whether the service is done in a church or in a reception hall, whether it is meant to be a Christian service or a secular commitment ceremony, a lgbtq+ wedding declares what is false to be correct and calls evil good.
