Just a Word

The Word

The Christian version of the, “Big Bang Theory” is found in Genesis Chapter One, God spoke and BANG it happened.  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”

(John 1:1). 

           

Charles Krauthammer made a good point in Saturday’s editorial (Obama boxed himself in on gay marriage, 5/20/12).  President Obama infers that if you haven’t yet evolved to the point where you can link the words homosexual and marriage than you must be a knuckle dragging Neanderthal. 

Homosexuality is romantic or sexual attraction or behavior between members of the same sex or gender.   As William Shakespeare reminds us "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"; in other words it would still be a rose. Homosexuality by any other name is still homosexuality. 

Words can be powerful.  A word hurled your way in anger, insult, taunt, or mockery will not break your bone, but may crush your spirit, and scar your soul.  James the brother of Jesus calls the tongue a restless evil full of deadly poison (James 3:8).  Vibrations from our vocal cords have the spiritual force to drive a spouse to tears, prompt a teenager to commit suicide, and the power to create war.  Words can also inspire the soul and lift the spirit of man. 

Battle lines are being drawn.  If you follow President Obama’s line of reasoning to its logical conclusion than the crowning achievement of mankind’s evolutionary journey would be silencing the God of Scripture and crowning mankind as God.  That has been Satan’s Modus Operandi since the Garden of Eden.
