| There have been a considerable number of articles in newspapers and magazines, and many discussions on various talk or news programs in recent weeks, on the subject of gay marriage. The term, gay marriage, is a fallacy in concept and a subject, I think, that has never been adequately addressed.

| Anthropologists determine the level
of development of any particular
civilization as to how well that
civilization was able to confront and
solve the problems it confronted.
Using that as the criterion, it would
appear that we are not as highly
civilized as we have thought
ourselves to be.

| People, by their very nature, are dreamers. They dream of greatness, success, fulfillment. Many of our dreams center around achievement of what are worthy and desirable goals. We dream of successful human relationships, marital bliss, the perfect family, recognition by peers, material possessions, or, in short, of prosperity.

| The many songs of praise found in
the Old Testament, notably in the
Psalms, give abundant evidence that
praise formed a significant part of
Hebrew worship. Praise is equally
important in the Christian
experience; indeed, it is part of the
rich heritage of the Jewish roots of
biblical faith. Too often, however, we do
not understand praise in its full
biblical expression.

| Today many Christians consider the
law of the Old Covenant null and void
because of the grace of God
revealed in the new Testament faith.
In fact, along with many
dispensationalists, a large segment of
the Christian faithful believe that the
divine character was transformed
from a God of legalism and law in the
Old Testament into the God of grace
and love in the New Testament. The
Old Testament is characterized as a
book of legalism to bring each
individual to faith. Judaism of the
time of Jesus is described as a
works-righteousness religion where
every individual is required to earn
his own salvation through his merit
and good deeds. This fundamental
misunderstanding of early Jewish
thought and the relationship between
the Hebrew Scriptures of the Old
Testament and the faith of the early
Christians has resulted in a basic
ignorance of Paul's position on the
purpose of the law and faith in Christ.
