Utah Ruling on Polygamy, Sets the Pace for Total Redefinition of Marriage

TAMPA, Fla. - Dec. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- By Bishop Aubrey Shines, Senior Pastor of Glory to Glory Ministries

When the United States Supreme Court ruled that marriage could be redefined to include any two consenting adults, homosexual activists insisted that the decision would not lead to further changes in marriage.

However less than six months after the court's ruling, marriage receives yet another blow.  On December 13, 2013 a Utah judge ruled that the polygamous relationship between Kody Brown and his four Sister Wives is legal.

Audiences may be familiar with the Brown and his multiple wives because of their reality TV show Sister Wives, which airs on TLC. Kody Brown challenged the polygamy laws in Utah and won.

In an NPR interview in March (http://www.npr.org/2013/03/28/175619109/if-supreme-court-lets-states-define-marriage-could-legalized-polygamy-make-a-com), Brown's attorney Jonathan Turley said, “People have a right to establish their families as long as they don't harm others.”

Turley’s argument is based on unsound, unproven unrealistic logic.  Redefining marriage as anything other than a union between one man and one woman, tares at the most fundamental building block of human society.  Redefining marriage will eventually open the definition up to any combination of multiple groups of consenting adults as the Utah case proves.

Turley went on to say that accepting Brown’s polygamous relationship represented a “grander more magnificent trend in the law."

I believe it represents a dangerous trend in the law.  We cannot be bullied into silence on this issue.  Share this article in your social media space.  The consequences of redefining marriage are clear.
