Following the news, you've probably heard that President Obama came out in support of same-sex marriage, saying his evolving position on the subject finally came in line with his strong belief that sanctioning gay marriage is, " . . . a logical extension of how America is supposed to be."

Two aspects of what he did are significant. He honestly described his beliefs on the subject as "evolving." I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that God is open to the same process of  "evolving" with respect to God's spiritual goals for us. Want proof, didn't his "chosen people" used to have to offer blood sacrifices to be in good spiritual standing? Can't we interpret God sending Jesus to be the final blood sacrifice as evidence of an evolving position with respect to God's relationship with mankind?

Most of the groups and individuals opposed to gay marriage believe that the issue is clear in the Bible, citing verses going back to the Old Testament. I believe God's "evolving" feelings on particular issues are reflected in our global society's collective consciousness. In the past 100 years our collective conscience has pushed mankind toward greater freedom, rights, and equality as reflected in the right of women to vote, civil rights for African Americans, and now greater equality and recognition for the 15% or so of society who are born with an attraction to members of the same sex.

We are on the verge of the next great dispensation or age during which God will reveal an "evolving" plan for our further spiritual development. What will be written in the next Testament, the Kingdom Age Testament? I'm almost sure homosexuals can count on being welcomed into the global family of believers during the Kingdom Age that's coming.

I'm addressed this issue through the focusing and projecting lens of fiction in my book, Maitreya, and in the sequel I'm now working on, Hereafter.
