Far from it, you're legislating contrary to Christianity.


Why is that a problem, exactly?

Why is that a problem, exactly?

Martin Luther King Jr in his treatise on civil disobedience said something like this.

" The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that ‘an unjust law is no law at all."

Simply put a law that is not one that affirms the laws of God is an unjust law.

That implies that you're using Christianity as the basis for determining whether a law is just in the first place, but it doesn't answer the question as to why that would be a good idea.

What do you want to know?

How could you possibly think that edicts codified thousands of years ago would provide a good basis for law? How would that not be unconstitutional? What's the difference between what you're proposing and Sharia Law?

The core of human law and governance goes back to men like Moses,Noah and Hammurabi. How do laws like "You shall not murder " or "You shall not steal" which transcend even Jewish and by extension Christian jurisprudence sound like extremist sentiment? These laws like the ones that they came with form much of the legal system that the west added to have been tested and tried and proven as just and equitable. Marriage laws are amongst them as well.

The fact that murder and thievery should be illegal, and were codified as such in ancient scripture, has nothing to do with marriage. You can't say that something is right in some places and is therefore right as a whole.
