Many of you have
probably heard of the online dating site eHarmony. The cofounder, Neil
Clark Warren, describes himself as a “passionate follower of Jesus,” and
eHarmony initially only provided its services to heterosexual people.
After a legal battle, eHarmony included homosexuals, first in a separate
site and later in its main site.
In a recent interview, Warren said that his company has been damaged
by the same-sex marriage debate. What does Warren mean by this? Well, according to the Christian Post, he said “that he hopes America can ‘be more harmonious’ on the issue.”
Now, Warren’s view on same-sex marriage is just not biblical. He
states, “I think this issue of same-sex marriage within the next five to
15 years will be no issue anymore. We’ve made too much of it. I’m tired
of it. It has really damaged our company.” Anyone who knows their Bible
and what God’s Word teaches about marriage (e.g., Matthew 19)
understands that what Warren is saying here isn’t biblical—we can never
“make too much” of standing up for the truth of God’s Word and standing
against sinful behavior. The same-sex marriage debate has hurt the
business of a professing Christian, but God tells us in His Word that we
will face persecution for Christ’s sake (Matthew 10:22; 2 Timothy 3:12).
And you know, standing up for the Bible’s definition of marriage and
its restrictions on sexuality will bring just such persecution from the
world. Continue at Ken Ham
