Throuples
“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment” (John 7:24).
Yes, it’s a combination of “three” and “couples,” and it is not surprising to hear about it. When society has been sold on one perversion (homosexuality), what stamina will remain for it to reject any other perversion? Throuples cannot legally be married in any state of the union so far, but how long will it take—especially if the news media begins to publish anecdotal sob stories about how much in love throuples are and how they are being denied their “rights”?
Three women already claim to be married as a throuple. Two of them had been “married” in Massachusetts for more than two years when they decided to add a third “partner” to their love nest. This youngest addition also is pregnant from a donor. If Hollywood needs a name for this scenario when they get around to making a movie about how these three women are so courageous, they could title it, Three Women and a Baby.
According to reports, the fathers of the three women escorted them down the aisle. The first question that comes to mind is, “Why would any of these men take part in this travesty of a wedding ceremony?” Why did not one of them have the courage to say, “This is nuts, and I will not have any part of it”? This is nothing more than “tolerance” gone to seed. Tolerance in this case might have consisted in the fathers not picketing the “wedding,” but certainly nothing required them to actually participate in it. One thing is certain, if the woman about to give birth has a daughter, no father will ever walk her down the aisle.
Apparently, the design of marriage by God which He showed by example when He created Adam and Eve is lost on our current culture. God did not create two men, two women, a throuple, a fourple, or a grouple. Did God not know what He was doing when He created one man and one woman? He did, although people have denied it about every way possible.
Many choose to live in fornication rather than marriage. Many have opted for divorce—frequently for selfish reasons. Then two of the same sex have “married,” but mankind is still not through—now we want three or more people to be in on the arrangement. Polygamy, which had once been defeated in this country, is on its way back.
When the Supreme Court ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional, Justice Scalia dissented, writing that “the majority arms well every challenger to a state law restricting marriage to its traditional definition.” Justice Scalia is brilliant and right the vast majority of the time—including this one. But no one needed to have a tremendous amount of insight in order to see this one coming. By validating homosexual “marriage,” the court gave all the ammunition it needed to those who want to engage in polygamy. If the court is going to defy and repudiate God’s definition of marriage, then no standard remains upon which to determine what marriage is. Without the Bible, no authoritative definition can be found. If one is contrived, it will probably become obsolete swiftly—in order to be replaced by another and another and another.
One thing that citizens of this country ought to know is that we are following the pathway to godlessness just as Europe has. Accepting homosexuality as an alternate lifestyle is a rejection of God and His morality. Re-defining marriage serves as a rejection of God’s institution of the family. Everyone ought to understand clearly that these developments (along with others referenced earlier) constitute a rejection of the Bible as the Word of God.
As we continue on this course, wickedness will increase, and this nation will lose even more favor with Almighty God. The only thing that can save us is a return to the Bible (as individuals) and in government (as we once stood). Otherwise, where shall we be?
