The Church is correct in its opposition of same sex marriage. Its ramifications are clearly confirmed throughout Holy Scripture, and are further supported in the expositions of our Church fathers. Although it is not necessary, one could further support the argument based on some of the medical information collected in our common era. That being said, the LC-MS and many other denominations are failing to adequately address another epidemic plaguing the one flesh union. Adulterous remarriage is something that is going unchecked in too many cases. The implications in these instances not only impact the couples in question, but also raise serious issues in regards to fellowship and unity in the Lord’s Supper. Holding fast to the defense of marriage is a truly God pleasing endeavor, but must be thorough in light of all the issues facing the Church in this matter.
