"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.' 34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (Matthew 5:33-37) Highlighting Jesus’ statement above: Generally when attending a wedding, vows are...
Why are transgender (gender dysphoria GID) bathrooms a bad idea? What's the future of "transgender" lockers, bathrooms and shower facilities? Where's this taking society? Are things getting better or worse? Now society wants to combine men and women bathrooms? When are the adults in the room going to stand up and start protecting the vulnerable, weak and innocent?

One might make the argument, I give Caesar the State Marriage License and I give God my marriage. This argument sounds very convincing at the outset. In the research I've done both the state and God don't agree with this logic. You're free to disagree. I don't know that we can have it both ways. The facts are, the State Corporation makes no mention of God in the terms and conditions.
