A closing excerpt from a recent blog at Naming His Grace. regarding Brian Ellison’s piece:
Ellison’s posting is deeply troubling; writing as a Reformed Christian he turns his posting into a political tract which aligns the Church with the State in matters of faith. As Hans Asmussen stated in his address before the Barmen Synod on the two above points from the Declaration, “we have to stress we know no earthly law by which God’s law could lawfully be broken.”[1] We must not give to the state the right to define the meaning of Christian marriage. God makes the covenant with a man and a woman.
