Al Mohler upholds everything I’ve told you about the Christian denigration of marriage.
A believer must not marry an unbeliever, for this violates the very logic of the Gospel and the believer’s union with Christ.
The believer in Christ acknowledges him as Savior and Lord, with an allegiance that exceeds any earthly commitment.
And don’t forget: You must always be ready to betray your family on command, like Abraham.
“Family values” is an empty marketing slogan; what is actually taught is that the mutual, got-your-back loyalty and shared ambitions that go into marriage are a threat to salvation.
-
Jesus is to have all your loyalty, and …
-
He’ll let you know what are your ambitions, or …
-
You’ll go straight to hell, like you deserve.
Unfortunately, now that the post-Christian era is here and churches all over the world are closing-up shop for keeps, we should expect the cult-like elements of the familiar teachings to take center-stage and intensify. So far as I’m concerned, though, the person who teaches this kind of thing has no moral right to even conduct a wedding.
