1Timothy 4:1-3 ¶ Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

When the crazy vegetarians started getting militant, I looked at what I Timothy says and thought, "well, we are part way there," but I really did not see how "forbidding to marry" would happen. (I did wonder if it was just the high divorce rate and growing willingness of couples to just live together without getting married.) Well, look what the gay rights crowd are REALLY wanting--the absolute destruction of marriage:

Marriage and the people of California went on trial today in a case that will impact marriage laws in ALL 50 states.
General Counsel Andy Pugno Comments On Opening Day Of Trial
http://bit.ly/4NRoUoThe Perry Case: What’s At Stake
http://bit.ly/4T2aHKA very interesting account from today:
"
Several times Judge Walker interrupted the plaintiffs to question whether the state should be “in the marriage business” at all, asking if the plaintiffs would be happy with eliminating marriage altogether—and allowing only domestic partnerships for both man/woman and same-sex couples. Amazingly the plaintiffs testified that would be acceptable to them. They actually said: if same-sex couples can’t have marriage, then no one should. Obviously, the elimination of marriage for everybody is certainly not what the people of California, or the nation, have in mind as an appropriate solution to this debate."

I really hope this thing doesn't wind up with a crazy judge outlawing marriage in California and then the Obama administration or the US Supreme Court making it nation wide.
But even if saner, more decent minds prevail in law, the fact that these folks are pushing this FULFILLS THE BIBLICAL PROPHECY.
