Marriage today

WWJS

What would Jesus say?

From earlier blogs it will be clear that I take a critical view of the current marriage proposals.
And I am very happy for my views to be known and indeed would teach them in a church context.

However, what would Jesus say?

His critique was mostly of the religious (I must beware) and he would extend a welcome to the non-religious even if he would want them to change (eg the woman caught in adultery)

What I have not heard much of in the religious response eg from the Anglican Bishops, is Good News. Most of it, however worthy, will be heard as legalism.

What Good News have we to share with the wider world? What is the good news of the kingdom in this context?
