The Church of England and same sex marriage...

[princealbertofb]

The Church forgot its history.

Well the Roman Church forgot, and all denominations pretty much have splintered off the Roman church, including the Anglicans.

The Early, pre-romanized Christians had same gender marriage.

As for the sacred nature of marriage. Up until 50-60 years ago Divorce was a huge no-no. It just wasn't done. today we have a 50% divorce rate?

A woman who remarries is committing adultery. That is punished by Death.

Men who remarry also commit adultery, but they do not get the death sentence.

Traditional 'marriage' is NOT defined in the bible.There is no such beast as a 'traditional marriage'.

Unless you want to seriously consider that a rapist is 'forgiven' as long as he marries his victim, or consider that you have to marry your brother's wife when he dies, or consider how it is biblical to not only wipe out whole nations, rape the males, kill them, then marry all of the women and the female children (yes children). Traditional, biblically 100% stamp approved by God.

But these sorts of things no one wants to talk about, least ways not those who spout of 'traditional marriage' and 'marriage is defined as....... in the bible.'.

Despite being a No No for the church for many many years and centuries, King Henry VIII paved the way in the 16th century, didn't he? ... He could even expedite a wife he didn't want by just having her beheaded. Nasty business, all that. Other times, other mores.
