Just weeks ago a Federal Judge overruled the will of the majority of Californian’s by overthrowing Proposition 8, a law defining marriage between one man and one woman. This judge’s decision was a very sad and wrong ruling. Since then America has been making her opinions heard on this issue, and a major debate point is, “love is never wrong. We need to love them and let them marry. Don’t hate.” That kinda got me thinking, “could they be right? Would allowing them to marry be loving them?” Which got me thinking even more, “How do we define love? How does the Bible?”

Biblical Definitions of Love

Lets compare the argument ‘Love is never wrong’ to what the Bible says about love. The Bible is pretty clear in defining love:

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. -1 Cor. 13: 4-8
