Britain has joined the growing club of nations that have legalized homosexual marriage, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Norway, Argentina and others (BBC, March 29, 2014). Following the legalization, Prime Minister David Cameron wrote, “This weekend is an important moment for our country. It says we are a country that will continue to honour its proud traditions of respect, tolerance and equal worth” (ibid.). “Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg said ‘Britain will be a different place’ as a result” (ibid.).
However, British law still prevents the Church of England from performing same-sex marriages and forbids it among their priests—over objections of some homosexual priests. One priest commented, "It is more important to do what is right than to be frightened into not doing what I believe to be true. And I won’t be frightened by what the possible consequences are for me [as a result of his upcoming same-sex marriage]” (ibid.).
The Bible has long warned that at the time of the end, people would ignore God’s laws and everyone would follow “the dictates of his own evil heart” (Jeremiah 16:12), doing what is “right in his own eyes” (Proverbs 21:2). These misguided actions will cease when Jesus Christ returns to restore all things (Acts 3:19-21). For more on this topic, read our article on “What Happened to the Truth?”
