The goverment of god, must not be confused with the goverment of men. What the goverment of god says is OK, is not what the goverment of men say is ok. There is only one legitimate goverment and that is the goverment of god. Cannot mix gods morals with the worlds morals. The goverments of the world might very well decide that homosexual marriages are lawful. Does gods goverment have to agree? Since the goverment of men are temporary it is important to life your life based on the laws and morals of the goverment of god. Because god makes rulers fall, and rises up others. But his goverment will never fail, and shall remain for ever. What if one day you find yourself in the goverment of god? What will you do when you are in violation of his precepts? Do you stand a chance against the judge of the world? All men will have to give an account of their lives. When this world fades away and the skies are rolled up like a garment, there is only one goverment left. You dont want to be on the wrong side of the law then.

I agree; some Europeans countries actually separate civil and religious marriages; they require, for those who wish to have a religious ceremony to have a separate civil one.
