The "enough" was directed at the waxing nostalgic over some perceived era of glorious virtue at the time of the forefathers. That was all.

That you are hitching the survival of the nation to Donald Trump defeating Hillary Clinton surprises me, and I am quite sure puts you in a precarious position visa vis prophecy.

Two consenting adults seeking the designation "married," is, for the State, a matter of equal protection. For the Church, it is a matter of sin. The two are not the same and do not have the same function nor purpose.

We ignore the facts and lessons of history at our own peril.

I do not wish to comment on your remark about women.

Well, we revise history at our own peril that's for sure. Equal protection was extended to the homosexual long before gay marriage was granted under the Equal Protection clause and you know it. The gay marriage edict handed down by the court was every bit the travesty as was Roe v Wade. I mean, granting women the right to murder their unborn or just born children under the auspices of the right of privacy is absurd beyond belief.

To start with, getting married is not a right guaranteed under the US Constitution. States grant marriages based on the definition of marriage as seen in the Scriptures. Genesis 2:23-25 (KJV)
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

The Equal Protection Clause was meant to protect the rights of groups and individuals. Marriage is not protected under Equal Protection any more than abortion is protected under the Right to Privacy. But in the case of gay marriage, the court had to redefine the institution which God Himself set up between earth's first two inhabitants. When the state recognized the homosexual union as legal, it extended validity to a Biblically forbidden state of sexual depravity. Liberals are all tore to pieces about the wall of separation between Church and state, that is until it's time for the state to redefine an institution like marriage, which God clearly set up at least 6,000 years ago. At that point a little state invasion into the business of the Church via jurisdictional overlap is perfectly understandable. :please:
