Tonight on Hannity, I watched an interview Mr. Sean had with a CEO of a dating website. The controversy was that this website was for married people. Confused? It was a website for married people to hookup and have affairs to "fill the gaps that their marriages had." Disgusted, Hannity tried to pry into why he created the website (marketing infidelity). The man then gave a terrible argument that left it unclear whether or not he thought infidelity is wrong.
After the interview, I turned to my dad and said, "In about thirty years, they're going to play this footage to show how much of a 'bigot' Hannity is for being against infidelity."
It is a terrible thought, but it is true. When we talk about the sanctity of marriage, we are not simply talking about the importance of the relationship being heterosexual. We understand that the two have become one flesh, and they are to forsake all others. Christians agree with that, but for how much longer? We definitely see a liberal view on divorce growing in the church. Try looking for that in the church about fifty years ago.
Jesus Christ said that except for adultery, there is no reason for divorce. If you are married, you are married for life. There is absolutely no reason you can get a divorce if you are a Christian unless your spouse has cheated on you. But today, we see many Christians getting divorces because they had a falling out, they did not get along, or they "were just not in love anymore."
How much longer will it be until we find Christians justifying adultery? If they have already justified divorce, cheating is next. Sound terrible? Sure is. But like all trends, it is a slippery slope. We allow divorce (not to mention premarital sex), so adultery is just next on the list. I do not want to even think about what comes next.
