New Zealand MP tries to form his own opinion in same-sex marriage issue.

Comment on this article

In a recent “letter drop” in the east Auckland suburb of Botany, the National MP for the area, Mr. Jami-Lee Ross, issued a message to residents. The letter, titled “Same-Sex Marriage: What do you think?” explained that “Parliament will soon be voting on draft legislation to enable same-sex couples to marry. Members of Parliament will be given a [individual] conscience vote on this issue. To help me represent the Botany Electorate when I vote, I would appreciate knowing your views on same-sex marriage” (Jami-Lee Ross, National Party, Same-Sex Marriage Letter, 6th of August, 2012). A “yes or no” box was given as an option for residents to indicate whether they agreed with same-sex marriage, as well as space for any comments that they would like to make.  The letter was then to be returned to Mr. Ross.

As the New Zealand Parliament heads towards legislating same-sex marriage, this letter demonstrates that God-fearing leaders are increasingly absent in this once predominantly “Christian” country, whose MPs now need to ask the opinions of the masses to form their “individual” conscience.  New Zealand is fast becoming a country where God’s laws are a “strange thing” (Hosea 8:12). 

Democracy is not the answer to moral decline or the world’s ills.  Only through God’s top-down government established on this earth by a perfect, righteous leader, will true values be restored to this Israelite-descended nation and the whole world (Isaiah 11).
