The Western Corruption of Marriage

By Paul A Maitrejean

Conservatives need to admit they are losing their fight to preserve traditional marriage, and losing badly.

This should lead us to ask: Why? After all, aren't conservatives on YHWH God's side? Aren't they fighting to uphold His plan for marriage?

Or perhaps we should ask: Are they?

The sodomite and liberal inroads against the marriage institution are not a result of their superior political prowess. It's a result of conservatives taking so zealous a stand for the traditional they've lost sight of the Biblical.

This book seeks to explore marriage from a Biblical standpoint, comparing it to the traditional and exposing the pagan and humanist influences that are very much alive even within today's conservative notion of "traditional" marriage. It's a call to pull down our idols and rally under the heavenly standard.

By ignoring and even actively decrying the Biblical in favor of the traditional, Christians have no hope to defeat the sodomite agenda. They are just as guilty as liberals and will never have Divine approval or support until they stand for YHWH God and His Word, rather than for Western tradition. Scriptural truth is the higher ground we need to drive back our enemies.

It's time to get to higher ground, and quickly.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would be sadly remiss were I to not acknowledge those who lent their indispensible help in the writing of this little work. My goal was to remain true to the Word as possible, and therefore I placed the manuscript in the capable hands of Ethan Ellingson and Earlin Keith Roberts, two men whose opinions I value. Their input and encouragement meant very much to me. I am grateful to them for taking the time to examine and critique my little volume.

Special thanks to Ted Weiland of Mission to Israel Ministries, who patiently explained to me the validity of the Law today and the truth of who I am as a Christian Israelite. Had you never commented on my online article years ago, only God knows where I’d be stumbling about today. I will ever be in your debt.

Thanks also to my beautiful wife, who patiently listens to me regale her with new findings and epiphanies at random moments and also asks probing questions that make me think about things in different lights. I love you!

And ever and always, thanks and praise to YHWH the Father and Jesus (Yeshua) the Son, Lord, King, Savior, and Messiah. May Your glory shine forth and awaken a nation slumbering in the clutches of deceit and confusion. May Your righteousness, justice, and mercy reign in its fullness! Hallelujah! Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our God! (Revelation 19:1)

CONCLUSION

INTRODUCTION

In today’s emotionally supercharged era of debate over marriage and its definition, Americans find themselves caught in a moral firestorm. Progressives seeking to establish sodomite civil unions as acceptable clash with the proponents of traditional marriage, sparking debate in all forms of media. Political candidates take advantage of the issue to bolster their voter bases, as demonstrated by the 2015 Republican candidate turnout to make a grand display of support for Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to sodomites. Books and articles have been written. Sermons have been preached and lectures delivered. The battle rages and only shows signs of escalation.

Yet for all the conservative outcry, the progressives seem to be making meteoric headway while the traditional marriage advocates spin their wheels at best. The onslaught of immorality appears to have breached the walls and has begun to pour through like a flood. The tidal wave of hostility against Christians is building daily. Nothing conservatives do seems to stop its inroads. The battle is quickly turning, and not in our favor.

What’s wrong? Aren’t the conservatives on God’s side in this issue? Hasn’t the Bible plainly stated, If God is for us, who can be against us (Romans 8:31)? Then why do conservatives face defeat after defeat? Why are the sodomites daily gaining ground?

Few people appear to be asking this question, let alone searching for the answer. In any war, a commander who sees that the enemy is driving his forces back must reevaluate his strategy, since it obviously isn’t working. The fact that he is being beaten is all the evidence he needs to see that a flaw lies in his tactics. The progressives have a battle plan that is plainly working for them. They know it, and are vigorously pursuing it with glee. Meanwhile, the conservatives, though knowing the tides of the fight have turned against them, don't seem to realize that there's something wrong with their approach. Something critical is missing. They’re paying a heavy price as a result. Yet few are humble enough to consider that they might have something wrong. The problem is not so much that the progressives are winning, as it is that the conservatives are failing.

Whenever YHWH God sent the ancient Israelites to war, He promised overwhelming victory, but on the condition that they obey Him and His Law (Deuteronomy 11:22-25). As long as they adhered to Him in everything, He would go before them, sweeping the enemy away as if they were chaff on the wind. It was this truth that allowed the Israelites to conquer Canaan, and let Gideon and his 300 men drive away the Mideonites. The battle belonged to YHWH (I Samuel 17:47) as long as His people remained in subjection to Him.

Using this principle, we can look at the conservative fight for traditional marriage, consider the results (or lack thereof), and see that YHWH is not fighting this battle for us. It is as if He has utterly abandoned the field, leaving us flailing helplessly amid the press of enemies. Why would He abandon us? Why would he leave us at such a critical moment, when his enemies seem to be winning in their rebellion against YHWH and his anointed (Psalm 2)?

When Israel was driven back from their siege of Ai, Joshua went before YHWH in despair. After all, He had promised to go before Israel fighting their battles for them. Joshua understood if YHWH was fighting for them defeat would not be a reality. He realized they had been abandoned. YHWH's response was to tell Joshua that there was sin in the camp of Israel. Because of this YHWH had not only turned against Israel, but had allowed their enemies to have the upper hand. YHWH had become Israel’s enemy. If God is for us, who can be against us had become if God be against us, who can be for us. Unless they changed, rooted out the sin, and repented, God would not fight Israel's battles. Not until Joshua and his men purged Achan and his stolen goods from among
