Welcome to Check with Chip, broughtto you by retire Smart. I'm Chip
Maxwell. We're in the home stretchof Patriot Pride Month, the rebuttal to
Pride Month, so I'm focusing onexcerpts from my book that deal with the
battle between the cross and the rainbowflag for cultural supremacy. My book is
fix It Now, rediscover natural law, and get America out of its cultural

(00:24):
death spiral. All you conservatives whowant to ignore the social issues and stick
to the fiscal issues, we won'twin on the fiscal issues unless we first
win on the social issues. Wewon't even get to the fiscal issues,
especially with young people, unless wefirst win on the social issues. Here

(00:48):
we go. I mentioned above thata president of Creton University it was twenty
fourteen, said Creton would extend employeemarital health insurance benefits to same sex couples
because that's what Jesus would do.Hum. I wonder the one time Jesus

(01:08):
talked about marriage. He was respondingto a question about divorce. He began
by noting that God created humans maleand female. He did not need to
say that, but apparently he thoughtit necessary to clarify that He was not
talking about consenting adults regardless of gender. He was talking about men and women.

(01:30):
Why did he do that? Jesuswas not afraid to break and recast
cultural norms. Some considered it scandalousthe way he did so. He had
women among his followers and socialized withthem on the same terms as men.
He consorted with tax collectors. Hesought out Samaritans, historical enemies of the

(01:53):
Jews. The Samaritan woman at thewell was the first person outside his inner
circle to whom he revealed himself asthe most Siah, and he made a
good Samaritan the hero of one ofhis most famous parables. He cited a
Roman soldier a despised for an oppressor, as one of the greatest examples of

(02:14):
faith in all of Israel. Hewas not a rigid absolutist on technical rules,
such as not lifting a finger onthe Sabbath. He ferociously called out
religious leaders, you brood of vipers. If Jesus believed the Jewish teaching on
marriage was misguided, it would havebeen in character and in keeping with his

(02:36):
mission for him to say, easeup on that hetero binary obsession. Love
is love. Instead, he reaffirmedthe hetero binary nature of marriage. Jesus
said, a man leaves his fatherand mother and clings to his wife,
and the two become one flesh thatshould never be separated. What a striking

(03:02):
and noteworthy description of spousal intimacy.Only opposite sex spouses are biologically, anatomically
and physiologically engineered to become one flesh. I'm just following the science. I
see this as another example of Jesuslooking through the ages and speaking through time

(03:25):
to us today. I think theCreton president was wrong when he said Jesus
would extend health insurance benefits to samesex couples. I think Jesus more likely
would say what he said to theadulteress. I will not throw stones at
you for what you have done tothis point, but from now on you

(03:46):
