What precisely would Rod have wanted me to do? Would he want me to refuse to conduct the wedding, or would he want me to simply prohibit the wedding flat out? If I just refused to officiate, and Steven got married by a justice of the peace, what then? Would I have to excommunicate him for marrying? There is no biblical case for that. If his wife is fully apprised of all the facts, and she was, and she wanted to marry him, should I excommunicate them both for marrying? Don’t I need a verse or something?

Got a couple suggestions:
“Do good to all men.” Not so good for the little one.
“Make no provision for the flesh”
“It is good for them to abide even as I.” (Single)
“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.”
Hey Doug, how about a verse that gives you the authority to perform a marriage in the first place.
