I see those advocating equal rights to marriage have no response from the words of Jesus claiming marriage means becoming ONE FLESH.
2 WOMEN or MEN cannot [[((EVER))]] become ONE FLESH.
SO according to the Words of GOD in the flesh, same sex could [[((NEVER))]] be ONE FLESH.
And because we know how God views marriage means we do not ever accept the meaning of marriage according to secular law.
Our position is always how GOD views it.
Since GOD views ONE FLESH equals marriage, then gay marriage is an Abomination like same sex intimacy is.

In case no one else has said any of this (probably has been said already however)...
The pursuit of Happiness isn't in the constitution. It's in the Declaration of Independence.
You also made a comment about how a marriage HAS to be dictated/registered by the state, and that isn't exactly accurate. To gain the governmental benefits of marriage (tax benefits, hospital, social security, etc.) then yes a couple must submit to state laws on marriage. These couples can be homosexual or hetero sexual. However, a heterosexual couple can choose to have only a church ceremony, and not file with the state. They will still be married in the eyes of that church and God, they just won't be recognized as married by the state or federal govt.. They can still live as a married couple, give their children and the wife the husband's name if they so choose, and all.

A great majority of Americans favor 'Gay Marriage'. The US Congress, Supreme Court, and the President are leading the charge to 'codify' gay marriage. They want to teach this as morally acceptable, to children in schools.
Unfortunately, this puts Christians in a spot. Jesus clearly stated that 'Marriage' is between a man and a woman." And Scripture denotes that homosexuality is an abomination in God's sight.
So, Christians will have to make their choice, as the ways of the USA and Jesus are directly opposed to one another.
Public attitudes and government morality codes vs Jesus and Scripture, a battle of Principalities!
Personally, I'll stick with what Jesus and Scripture teach.

That's right; but when you look at some states- they are saying christian cake-makers have to close up shop, because cake-makers refusing to make a gay wedding cake is "discrimination"... but the porn industry isn't going to sue a porn star for refusing to do gay porn, are they? Do you not see the spiritual warfare happening?
