"A legal brief recently submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court warns that forcing states to recognize same-sex “marriage” could bring God’s judgment upon the nation.
“This case before this Court is this nation’s tower of Babel. At issue is whether we as a people are going to continue to conform
the institution of marriage to the one created and established by God, or instead will reform the most sacred of human institutions into something else chosen by an elite set of jurists,” reads the amicus brief, filed by the U.S. Justice Foundation of Ramona, Calif. and the law offices of William Olsen of Vienna, Va.
Several other Christian attorneys joined in the submission, including Kerry Morgan of Pentuik, Couvreur & Kobiljak P.C. in Michigan, James Clymer of Clymer Conrad, P.C. in Lancaster, Pa. and J. Mark Brewer of Brewer & Pritchard, P.C. in Houston Texas.
In addition to warning that requiring states to recognize same-sex arrangements would continue to have detrimental ramifications for Christian business owners, churches and society in general, the attorneys spoke of the spiritual consequences for such a decision.
“The Holy Scriptures reveal that God created mankind, male and female, in the image of God,” the attorneys declare, pointing to Genesis 1:27 and Matthew 19:4-6. “Homosexual sex and homosexual marriage are a repudiation of God’s created order.”
“Should the court require the states and the people to ‘ritualize’ sodomite behavior by government issuance of a state marriage license, it could bring God’s judgment on the nation,” they warn, pointing to Leviticus 18:22 and 24-30. “Holy Scripture attests that homosexual behavior and other sexual perversions violate the law of the land, and when the land is ‘defiled,’ the people have been cast out of their homes.” ChristianNewsNetwork

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis 13:13
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to impurity, and going after strange flesh,
are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 1:7 WEB
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot;
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Luke 17:28,30
"The leaders of the Sunday movement may advocate reforms
which the people need, principles which are in harmony with the Bible; yet while there is with these a requirement which is contrary to God's law, His servants cannot unite with them. Nothing can justify them in setting aside the commandments of God for the precepts of men."
