The Lie That Homosexual "Marriage" Is Acceptable to God

During a wonderful walk on a beautiful day at the beach yesterday, my good friend and I got in a discussion about "gay" marriage, civil unions, and traditional one man and one woman marriage.  We both shared the fact that we know Christians - some who even appear to be very devout - who have fallen for the lie that homosexual marriage is acceptable.  Apparently, they choose to no longer acknowledge that homosexual marriage (and behavior) is unacceptable to God and goes against His laws.  God created marriage.  The definition has always been the union of one man and one woman.  Period! 

In fact, the reprobate idea of homosexual "marriage" is not new.  It is ancient!  Recall that Solomon tells us, "there is nothing new under the sun."

When Jesus was asked what the signs would be of his return, he stated:

Mat 24:37 “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

Luk 17:26 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

Luk 17:28 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;
 
Luk 17:29 “but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

Luk 17:30 “Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.


What did "the Days of Noah" and "the Days of Lot" have in common?  Besides unbelief, moral depravity, murder, evil, and general sinful behavior, they both had the sin of homosexuality in common.


My friend had not heard of the ancient Jewish writings that shared the fact that contracts of  "men marrying men" and "women marrying women" happened back before Noah and the flood.  It was one big reason why the flood occurred.  Therefore, I sent her an email with links to blog posts that shared this information.

 I wrote:

As always, I enjoyed our walk, talk and lunch together today!

I told you about the evidence given by Jewish Rabbis in the Babylonian Talmud, but there were also other writings that shared information about "men marrying men," and "women marrying women" in Noah's time.


The following  is a link to one of  the best Talk Wisdom blog posts about this topic  that I wrote back in 2011.  It includes additional information from The Midrash Rabbah Genesis - which  is a specific form of rabbinic literature of
ancient Judaism commentaries of the Hebrew Scriptures.

The following is a "search" at my blog with several posts about this topic all in a row:

In addition to this, I revisited a post over at GCMWatch (Gay Christian Movement Watch) that displays the utter depravity of some gay behavior affirming churches.

GCMWatch: MCC Clerics Demonize Jesus

Note - There is a warning regarding the content included at the links within the post:

WARNING: Read this post only if you want irrefutable proof of the depth of depravity currently saturating the gay christian movement.

I have often mentioned that the term "gay" always precedes the term "Christian" in the movement as a whole;  as well as when it is written in the description of the churches and even the individuals who self-identify as such.  Why is that?

Jesus told us that "no one can serve two masters."

Mat 6:24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Luk 16:13 “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

The second sentence in these verses directly discusses the inability of servants of Christ serving both God and mammon (money).  However, it is not only money that people can choose to serve ahead of Christ - it can be ANY master.  And in the "gay Christian movement," the behavior of the individuals trumps Christ, God's Holy Word, God's Laws, and Christ's admonition to "leave your life of sin" (which he said to the woman caught in adultery).

Jhn 8:11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and[fn] sin no more.”
NU-Text and M-Text add from now on.


Notice that Christ did not condemn her (because those who were about to stone her had to drop their stones when Christ said, "if any of you are without sin, cast the first stone.")

Now, I have been accused at this blog of figuratively "throwing stones" at people who self-identify as gay.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  God wants ALL to come to salvation through Jesus Christ's sacrificial death at the cross for the forgiveness and remission of sins.  However, those who celebrate a sinful lifestyle right along with people who haven't repented of such sin, are allowing them to miss being reconciled back unto God.  Which is more egregious?

Let's take a physical example.  What if you knew of someone who was about to jump off the top of a tall building because someone convinced them "you will surely not die?"  What if your excuse was that you didn't want to offend their sensibilities on the subject?  Therefore,  you supported their decision to go ahead with the act.  Who in their right mind would call such a warning offensive?  It's the same when it comes to spiritual matters. 

The book of Jude tells us how difficult it can be to help pull someone "out of the fire" of sinful behavior, but it is the most compassionate thing to do despite the fact that many will curse you for attempting to do so!  Being uncomfortable in this world is the life of a true Christian.  Jesus told us, "in this life you [we] will have trouble.  But take heart!  For I [He] has overcome the world!"  He also told us that "He is not of this world."  So therefore, because we have made the commitment to belong to Him, we are not of this world either!  He told us that the unsaved will hate us, because they hated Him first!

All that we can do is share the TRUTH with the unsaved.  The Holy Spirit of God (through each human act of confession and repentance of sin and the request of each individual for forgiveness through Christ's sacrificial act of saving grace at the cross) will indwell the heart of a new believer and lead him/her to a new life in Christ!  The old sin-filled self gradually goes away (called sanctification) and the new life within the believer WANTS to sin no more and please God!

Well, once again I have said my peace on this issue.  There will inevitably be people who will vehemently disagree and call me a bigot, hateful, homophobic...you name it...because they do not know the Living Word of God - Jesus Christ, or the written Word of God - the Bible.  Plus, it is likely that they have not accepted God's gift of salvation so that they can spend eternity with God in heaven.

One more link to share.  It was a post I did as a reaction to GCMWatch: MCC Clerics Demonize Jesus.

Talk Wisdom: The Spiritual Oblivion of the Reprobate Mind.

Excerpt:

The term "oblivion" is certainly a fascinating word. At the end of this post, I have included several of Dictionary.com's definitions of the word.

It is interesting to note the following fact, which is mentioned in the third source below:

It [the term, oblivion] has lost its original sense of "no longer aware or mindful," however, and now means simply "unaware" (1862). Properly should be used with to, not of.
Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2001 Douglas Harper

Sin and reprobation of the mind can lead to a state of spiritual oblivion that knows no bounds. This was my thought after reading about the absolute depravity of a person named Robert Goss who masquerades as a reverend. The idolatry, brokenness and demonic strongholds in this man's life are most evident in Pastor DL Foster's post called, MCC Clerics Demonize Jesus.
[...]

Look at the NLT version of verse Jeremiah 25:7

"But you would not listen to me," says the Lord. "You made me furious by worshiping your idols, bringing on yourselves all the disasters you now suffer.

We know what this man's idol is. This man's thought life is so far from God it's astounding.

The Proverb verses tell us how important it is to keep God's commandments. The two brilliant statements from our Lord (in bold and italics here) can be attributed towards identifying Mr. Goss as a false convert. At the same time, the words absolutely destroy his reprobate-thinking theology:

Pro 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:


Pro 4:4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.


Pro 7:2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.


Jhn 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.


Jhn 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.


What does God's Word tell us about our thought life?

Phl 4:4   Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

Phl 4:5   Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Phl 4:6   Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Phl 4:7   and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Phl 4:8   Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.

Philippians 4:4-8 NKJV

In conclusion, this illustrates just one reason why Jesus told us that he did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. If Jesus came to abolish the law, then we could live in any morally relativistic (or morally reprehensible way as the corruption of Mr. Goss shows us) way we so choose.

But we steadfastly know that Jesus came to fulfill the law, not abolish it. Therefore, His statement, "If you love me, keep my commandments" flies in the face of the gay Christian reprobate theologians who choose to be "no longer aware or mindful" of what God's Word teaches. Scripture will always condemn and expose false prophets, teachers, and theologians like Mr. Goss. And the depravity of their minds will continue to expose the spiritual oblivion that they choose to reside in.

What Marriage Really Is...

Hat Tip:

Bethany C. from TEA Party Community.com

Today is Tame Compared to What it Will Become

My blog post title today comes from an email that I received from Dr. David Jeremiah of Turning Point Ministries.  His words contain both warnings to the lost and good news for all who love the Lord Jesus Christ.

The incredible moral depravity, corruption and scandals, violence, terrorism and all the rest of the turmoil that we are  currently experiencing wasn't even imaginable thirteen years ago.  But what has come to fruition now has been "worked on" by the arbiters of evil for over 50 years - most of my lifetime.  Being of the "baby boomer" generation, I might possibly have a better vantage point (IMHO) regarding history (rather than individuals of the Generation X or Millennials) via the education I received about WWII and all that has happened up to and including this current day.  Public education is not the same as when I was in grades K-12!  Social indoctrination is paramount in the liberal mindset of most educators today.

Being a student of the Bible for over 22 years also helps to give me great insight, knowledge, and wisdom into the ancient past as recorded in God's Word.  It is the gift that keeps on giving because one has never "arrived" as a student of the Bible.  There is always much more to learn!

God's revealed Plan for man's salvation through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is easy enough for a child to understand and comprehend.  But the more a Christian studies the Bible, the more is revealed through the guidance of the Holy Spirit to our minds and hearts.

The prophecies that Christ has already fulfilled is proof enough.  And we can have hope and confidence that He will fulfill all the rest as we speed closer and closer towards the culmination of history on this earth.  End times prophesy is being fulfilled right before our very own eyes!  We don't know everything - because only God knows all; however, we have enough through God's Living Word - Jesus Christ; and His written Word, the Scriptures, to inform us of what we need to know this side of heaven and what will happen in the end times all the way through to eternity.

To be honest, I don't know how people cope with all that is going on in this world without knowing Jesus Christ and the peace that surpasses all understanding that he gives believers! When we repent and ask Him into our individual hearts to be Lord and Savior of our lives the scales fall off of our eyes and truth that may have been previously veiled to us becomes crystal clear! 

When a person thinks that this fallen world is "all that there is" and death leads to nothingness, I wonder why they would even think that their lives have any meaning at all?  I know...it's a devastating thought and difficult question.  But really, what, may I ask, is ultimately the purpose of one's life if one believes that his/her body, soul, and spirit stays in the grave at death?

The so-called "victories" that secular humanists are celebrating that recently occurred via the U.S. Supreme Court decisions to strike down both DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) and California's Proposition 8 (marriage is the union of one man and one woman - which was passed by 7 million CA voters in 2008) is just more evidence of the moral depravity that has gripped this nation due to lawlessness, government corruption, activist judges, and judicial fiat.

I have shared what the Bible tells us regarding homosexual behavior and the aberrant idea of same-sex "marriage" in several former posts here at this blog.  The list* of additional links on this topic at the end of this post will help readers understand what God's Word has to say about these matters.  Remember, these are not my ideas - THEY ARE GOD'S IDEAS regarding this topic.

There HAD TO BE AN IMPORTANT REASON why God led many writers of Scripture to include grave warnings about the abomination of "men lying with men," and "women lying with women" sexually.   God knew that such acts would "take them over" and bring them away from any sense for the need to repent of such sins; and thus He "gave them over" to their sinful behavior.



Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Rom 1:21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Rom 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

Rom 1:23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Rom 1:24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

Rom 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Rom 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

Rom 1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;


Of course, homosexual behavior is not the only sin that destroys a person's chances for repentance when it goes un-confessed, so too are many other sins:


Rom 1:29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[fn] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

Rom 1:30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[fn] unmerciful;


Inevitably, those who think that homosexuality is "normal, natural, and desirable," would object to all that is written in this blog post.  In fact, they would most likely label me as a "bigot," "homophobic," "unloving," "hateful,"  etc. because they don't WANT to believe or understand what is written in the Scriptures. 

But consider this. 

All people instinctively know that murder is wrong...right?  [Well...except for the pro-abortion advocates and satanic criminals.]  If I had written this blog post warning about the danger of NOT CONFESSING AND REPENTING OF MURDER...perhaps I would not have the same epithets hurled at me. 

The difference is, one sin is elevated over and above [murder] the other [homosexual behavior] as being more heinous.  Or, in some minds, such sexual behavior is not even considered a sin.  However, I would tell them that God our Creator made us...and He made us male and female with purposeful sexual bonds designed to be in  a one man with one woman marriage.  He has given each of us certain abilities, gifts, and God-given purpose in our lives.  When we reject exactly how and why we were specifically made, then our lives often end up in grief, disaster, and turmoil.   The rules given [like the Ten Commandments and the list of aberrant behaviors to be avoided in  the book of Leviticus and elsewhere] are there to protect us from satan's [the thief] influence and keep us from disease, deformity and premature physical death as well as the ultimate eternal death [separation from God forever] of the soul. 

Such admonitions are there too as Jesus stated, "to give you [us] life and to have it more abundantly." 

Jhn 10:10

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

We have a choice to accept or reject such rules.  But rejection with the intention of impenitence  would mean separation from God FOREVER in eternity. 

 Is it worth it?? 

Only you can decide...

Paul completes Romans 1:

Rom 1:32

who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Jhn 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Dear Friend,

You turn on the television and see incredible moral depravity — not only on display, but celebrated. You read the news and find yet another incident of corruption and scandal, violence, and terrorism. You look at the world and witness astonishing turmoil, as new forms of evil are seemingly invented daily.

Yet imagine this: our world today is tame compared to what it will become.

Though it may seem that there are no restraints in our world, the Holy Spirit is actually acting as a restraining influence right now … holding back the dark, satanic tide of perversion and lawlessness.

But the world continues to beat against this dam — begging, practically demanding, to be given over completely to its own wickedness. As Paul writes to Timothy, "… but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth …" (2 Timothy 4:3-4, NKJV).

The end is fast approaching. During the Tribulation, God will remove the holy barriers He has set up in the world and essentially "give them what they've asked for."

It will be terrifying to live in those last days … Horrific devastation. Uninhibited violence. Massive earthquakes. Rampant immorality. Intense wildfire. Global chaos.

But I have good news for you — and for all who love the Lord:

We will not be here.

Followers of Christ will disappear from the face of the earth, instantly and without warning, in the Rapture. Those who are taken in this event will be spared the trauma of death and the impending disasters that will occur when the Tribulation breaks out.

But being spared from this danger will not be the main source of our joy in the Rapture —

— rather, finally being with the Savior we love so much will be the cause of our celebration. As the Bible describes it, Jesus will descend into the clouds, and all believers, living and dead, will suddenly meet Him in the air.

So, even though we see the world spiraling down on a path to self-destruction, we take comfort in Christ's own words: "Let not your heart be troubled … I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:1, 3, NKJV).

God bless you,

David Jeremiah

P.S.   Please remember to listen to this week's The Handwriting on the Wall radio broadcasts and watch the Living With Confidence in a Chaotic World Television broadcasts. And you can find even more answers to your questions on the Rapture, Tribulation and other Bible prophecies when you order a copy of The Handwriting on the Wall book. TURNING POINT WITH DR.

True Discernment: Jesus, The Days of Noah, and Same Sex Marriage [UPDATE!!]

Note:  This post contains a link to Obama's intentions of repealing DOMA.

 

Excerpt:

 

Obama claims to be Christian. But almost everything he does in his political life turns out to be the most startling, anti-Christian, anti-Bible, anti-Christ, anti-moral-values types of moves that are typical of those who hold to political expediency over true faith, convictions, and obedience to the God of the Bible.   Obama would go so far over the cliff that he has announced his intention of repealing The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)!

The Mocking Spirit Outside U.S. Supreme Court on 3/26/13

TVC president Andrea Lafferty discusses the mocking spirit outside the U.S. Supreme Court on March 26, 2013.

Andrea makes a good point regarding the timing of the court's decision to even hear this case.  Why during Holy Week?  And, will the decision be made on Good Friday, the day we solemnly recognize with sadness and deep gratitude Christ's sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary for man's sin? 

I have heard that the public will not know the decision(s) until some time in June.  However, no matter what the court decides, God will not be mocked and those who support, defend and celebrate such perversion will be held accountable on Judgment Day.

No wonder...this crowd is all going to Hell...they just don't believe. But when they take their last breath....they will have found out they were wrong...due to lack of knowledge from almighty God.

Rom 1:24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

Rom 1:25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

 

Rom 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

Rom 1:27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

Lets not forget ladies and gentleman that sexual perverts (i.e. homosexuals) love to hate the Bible and distort its teachings. They also love the behinds of little boys and the drugs that enhance the sexual experience. They think below the waistline and because there is not much upstairs, logic and design arguments are unfathomable foreign ideas to them.
There is absolutely NOTHING natural about the homosexual sex act. It is perversion to the nth degree.

Mat 18:6 ¶ But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Mat 18:7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Mar 9:42 ¶ And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Luk 17:1 ¶ Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come!

Luk 17:2 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

He is dressed up in red tights, exposing himself, in front of children, and you think that is love? You think that is a 'modern' form of love? No my friend, that is not love, that is close to abuse. May the good Lord Jesus Christ save us and America this lent.

[Christine adds:  Amen Gavin!  Makes you wonder how any logically thinking mother in her right state of mind could ever join her child in posing for a picture with such a disgraceful, mocking display of indecency!]

Standing in a skin tight suit, fitting for a woman and that is not exposing himself? You do not need to be naked to expose yourself. He's wearing a devil costume, so he does believe in the devil, the father of lies and evil, and he's hugging a kid, and that is supposed to be love?

1Jo 2:4 He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Jhn 8:44 "You are of [your] father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own [resources], for he is a liar and the father of it.

Bonnie, the bible defines normal, moral, love, sanity and civilized just to name a few. Here are a few messages from our Commanding God that should clear the cobwebs from your Christian conscience. I Corinthians 6:9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also
reap.

The Chick-fil-A Controversy Is A Spiritual Battle

The blogosphere is filled with posts, photos, and commentary about the support that many Americans gave to the Christian-based company, Chick-fil-A for their support of traditional marriage.  A majority of Americans  believe that God's original definition of marriage should still stand.   After all, it was His idea and invention in the first place!


Good for Chick-fil-A!!  Good for their supporters!!  Huge turnouts at Chick-fil-A restaurants today  because conservative, Christian, and TEA Party patriots wanted to stand up for the belief that freedom of speech and freedom of religion give all of us the right to proclaim (as God in the Bible has) that marriage is the union of one man and one woman!


Note to all of those who would want to call all of these people "bigots," "haters," "homophobes," "anti-gay," or any other derogatory name "_______________" (you fill in the blank) you could think of - support for traditional marriage does not  equate to "hatred" of gays.  Unfortunately, that is a misnomer being spread by those who want to spread such ridiculous propaganda.

While doing errands today, I was listening to Hannity's radio show.  A man called into the show to tell Sean that he is "a great American."  The caller went on to say that he is "gay" and "wishes that the marriage debate wasn't out there" but he understands that Christians have the right to their beliefs - even if he doesn't necessarily agree.  He also stated that Sean was instrumental in convincing him NOT to vote for Obama in 2008.  For the first time in his life, he voted for the Republican ticket.


Why?


Because he stated that, "Obama's policies scare him."


Now...does that make him "anti-Obama" (the person) or just someone who happens to be against Obama's policies??  Doesn't he have the freedom of speech right to say that?


Unfortunately, most of the radical homosexual activists believe that freedom of speech and freedom of religion should take a back seat to their particular favored ideology.  Actually, the intolerance these days is often so severe that they would do anything to hurt those with whom they disagree.  For them, tolerance is a one way street.  It is not something that they would ever consider offering towards the other side.  Therefore, that man who called into Sean Hannity's radio show is probably a rarity in this day and age.

There once was a time when homosexual activists claimed that they "just wanted tolerance."  Then, they demanded acceptance.  Now, they want to do harm to those with whom they disagree.  The question is...why?

I think that it is a spiritual problem.  Deep down, they know that they are willingly breaking God's laws through their sexual behavior, but they want acceptance more than anything else in this world so they are willing to do anything to get it.  But, just like any other sinner in need of the Savior, Jesus Christ, the more secular "acceptance" they get, the more they demand.  They can't be satisfied with the progress that they perceive they have reached (i.e. gay rights, gays serving openly in the military, civil unions in some states etc.).  Why?  I think that it is because they instinctively know that they will never gain God's approval of the aberrant sexual behavior that they engage in.

Look at it this way.  A heterosexual person who fornicates may want God's acceptance of such a lifestyle too.  But God's Word tells him/her that he/she must repent of such behavior.  I'm sure we all know couples involved in fornication.  Does that mean that we hate them too...just because we tell the truth of the matter??

Radical homosexual activists do NOT want to hear that.  In fact, they HATE Christian believers because they don't want to know about God's Word regarding their behavior.  Homosexual behavior happened in biblical times.  As Solomon so wisely stated, "there is nothing new under the sun."  Dozens of Bible verses state God's views on the matter.


 Jesus told us that non-believers would "hate us" because they "hated Him first."  Telling the truth about evil, sin and death isn't politically correct.  The hatred against Christians and Jews continues to grow.


However, there is even more hatred spewed at former homosexuals who become Christians.  How do I know this?  Because I have heard the stories and experiences of several men and women who have gone through it.

When a sinner (any kind - which includes all of us!) is released from the former bondage to any type of sinful behavior (through the power of the Holy Spirit when they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ) the act of confession and repentance at the foot of the cross of Christ brings them into reconciliation with God.  They receive, instead, the love, mercy and grace given at the moment of conversion!!  This is the greatest gift in the world!  It is the gift of eternal life!   Of course, sanctification is a lifelong process, but once converted, no one can "snatch the believer" out of the hands of Christ!


Non-believers reject Christ.  Therefore, they reject the need to repent and turn to the only Savior that can reconcile them back unto God!  This often infuriates them!  How do I know?  Because I used to be one of them!

In another comment thread, I had a brief discussion with blogger Susan who experienced release from the bondage of lesbian behavior and identity through the power of Jesus Christ.  I will share her comment here:

Christine shared “The Truth Gap” by Bill Muehlenberg:

“They may profess to be believers, but they live, think and act just like pagans . . . That is because they have never learned to think biblically and they have never developed a biblical worldview . . . As such, they are breaking the greatest commandment which Jesus gave: to love God with all your heart, all your strength, and all your mind.”

I lived, thought and acted like a pagan during more than 20 years acting out as a lesbian and more than 30 years acting out as a drunk trying to deal with my inner emotional pain that I did not understand.

I was hurting and did not know I was in pain for many years, because I numbed myself with sex, alcohol and other drugs. There is a better way. It is the truth that sets one free. The truth about myself set me free. It was not the truth about other people.

The Messiah said, “I am the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6). There is a better way to live. We all have a choice to obey the voice we hear. Everyone is a slave to the voice one obeys. One can obey sin that leads to death, or obedience that leads to righteousness (Romans 6:16).

The most amazing thing about the written Word of God is that it is absolutely ONE Truth. Why? There is only ONE Word of God, the Holy ONE of ISRAEL.

Much love to you, Christine and all your readers who hunger for truth and righteousness. They shall be filled (Matthew 5:6). ~ ss

My response:

Dear Susan,

The August, 2012 Turning Points devotional focuses on the "scraps of life." Dr. Jeremiah draws an analogy between the scraps of fabric (that are often discarded) and the scraps of our lives that we often wish we could do over. But those scraps can also be used to create a gorgeous quilt! They CAN be useful!

This brief synopsis doesn't do it justice, but one section was quite encouraging.

Despite the fact that we all sin and fall short of the glory of God, we can be encouraged by Psalm 51 which recounts David's psalm of repentance and confession following his disastrous episode with Bathsheba and the killing of Uriah.

Dr. Jeremiah writes:

"Have you ever prayed, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me" (verse 10)? If so, you are praying words that were forged on the anvil of David's guilt and remorse over his choices. We wish he had never made those bad choices, but that time in his life produced words of instruction and encouragement for us.

Psalm 32, another of David's psalms, may have been written in the wake of the same affair. If not the Bathsheba episode, it is David's recounting of how miserable his life became when he concealed some sin from God. And how blessed it became when he made things right."

Dr. Jeremiah goes on to explain that Psalm 139 discusses God's omnipresence and how he sees and knows everything. David realized that God knew about his sin because there is no escaping God's presence!

Dr. J: "In any case, the scraps from David's life have become a comfort and inspiration to millions of people as they look for value in their own wrong turns in life."

Isn't that awesome?? Dr. J goes on to write, "save your scraps for the Master Tailor!" We are to regret and render them useless! There is a "godly sorrow [that] produces repentance" (2 Corinthians 7:10) --which is what we should do: repent or revive and be useful!"

Dr. J: "If we have sinned, we need to repent. If we are discouraged over a foolish mistake or a broken dream, we need to revive. In either case, the scrap we thought represented a wasted moment in our life will become something God can use to make us wiser, more disciplined, and more appreciative of His grace, mercy, and forgiveness--and make us more willing to extend the same to others (Ephesians 4:32).

God the Master Tailor, wants to use every moment in our life for His glory. If you will pick up the pieces and save our scraps for Him, the garment He fashions will be more beautiful than you can imagine."

See Susan? God thinks you are beautiful!! It is a spiritual beauty that can NEVER be taken away from you! And why are you spiritually beautiful? Because you said YES! to Jesus Christ! You chose to shed the sin that leads to death and obey God's Truth that leads to righteousness!!

Why anyone would not want to accept Jesus' gift of salvation is truly a mystery! Like you wrote, Susan, "it is for those who hunger for truth and righteousness. They shall be filled (Matthew 5:6)."

All we can do is continue to spread the seeds of the Gospel. God does the saving! And sharing those "scraps of life" may jolt a person away from the clutches of sin, evil and death so that they are no longer a slave (like you stated) to it!

God bless you today and always Susan! Love you!

In Jesus,
Christine

WHY vs WHY Gay Marriage

The day that my husband and I went to our daughter's high school (back in 2003) to express our concern over a gay/straight club that was forming at the school, we knew that the homosexual legal agenda would only get worse and worse. We were absolutely correct!

Read and weep - dear Christian parents - about what is being taught to children as young as 6 years old in public schools in California.

Within the next few days, I am going to share my thoughts and opinions about an excellent resource where parents can come right out (pardon the pun) and combat the intense homosexual indoctrination that is going on in public schools.

Your teen aged children (especially here in California) have probably already been so indoctrinated to think that homosexuality is "normal," "natural," and not sinful. The Bible tells us otherwise and our churches are trying to combat the onslaught with the truth about such abhorrent behavior.  However, it also helps (IMHO) to encourage children to read and study BOTH sides of the issue so that they can feel empowered to make up their own minds on the issue.  Some may not budge because they are too indoctrinated, but many may change there minds when they read the facts from those on the pro- one man, one woman marriage issue that are NOT being taught in the public schools.

The resource that I am referring to is a book written by Christian Internet author and blog writer Bill Muehlenberg and his secular co-author and gay activist, Rodney Croome.  It is called Why vs. Why Gay Marriage and presents both arguments regarding the gay marriage issue.  Bill's blog is called Culture Watch. At that site, Bill has years worth of excellent information that anyone can utilize in the ongoing battle between good and evil. His essays are chock full of important evaluations on many subjects regarding Christian faith and values vs. secular humanism and depravity. I highly recommend his blog and the book Why vs. Why Gay Marriage. If your child has been indoctrinated by the radical homosexual agenda, reading that book will give him/her the REAL story behind how, and why, he/she has been duped into believing man's "wisdom" that such behavior is "good." He/she may even discover that the timeless wisdom of God Almighty trumps man's thoughts EVERY TIME.

What is interesting is that the co-author, Rodney Croome (pro gay marriage) brings up "religion" in his argument and Bill just blows that argument right out of the water with his excellent rebuttal!

You can get a copy of the book at Amazon.com.

The following is a copy of an email that I received from Randy Thomasson, President of SaveCalifornia.com. Please take the time to read it all and visit the links within the text. If you are not appalled by learning about al the seven radical homosexual indoctrination bills that have been passed by the Democratic-led state legislature here in California, then you must have been brain-dirtied by all of the propaganda that the activists are spewing that goes entirely against what God's Holy Word in the Bible teaches against the BEHAVIOR of homosexual acts - which God's Word specifically says are to be avoided.

Next, get a copy of Why vs. Why Gay Marriage to arm yourself with the powerful and POSITIVE arguments that Bill Muehlenberg has shared in that book to counter co-author Rodney Croome's indoctrination arguments.

In Christ's Service,
Christine

SAVECALIFORNIA.COM NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- April 14, 2011

California Senate mandates homosexual role models for schoolchildren
Thomasson: "Parents don't want and children don't need 'LGBTIQ' role models"
 
Sacramento, California – With today's passage by the Democrat-controlled California State Senate of "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans" as mandatory role models for children as young as kindergarten, SaveCalifornia.com, a leading West Coast pro-family, pro-child organization is calling upon California parents to permanently remove their children from the government school system.

Today, the California Senate, on a 23 to 14 vote -- Democrats for, Republicans against -- approved what would be the 7th school sexual indoctrination law teaching children to view homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality as a good and natural lifestyle option. The vote comes the day before the disruptive "Day of Silence" in public schools, sponsored by the "Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network," which SaveCalifornia.com is urging parents to counter-protest by keeping their kids home this Friday.

SB 48 would mandate that history and social studies textbooks and instructional materials teach children to admire "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans" as role models. The proponents of the bill seem to have forgotten there are already six statewide school sexual indoctrination laws affirming homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality.

"This clear and present danger should motivate fathers and mothers to rescue their children from California government schools and take them to the safe havens of solid church schools and homeschooling," said Randy Thomasson, president of SaveCalifornia.com. "Parents don't want and children don't need 'LGBTIQ' role models in school, SB 48 is sexual brainwashing in the extreme. It's damaging and nonacademic to teach children a lie -- that homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality are natural and healthy lifestyles, when they’re not."

(Sources: NARTH: "Is There A 'Gay Gene?'"; American College of Pediatricians: "Health Risks of the Homosexual Lifestyle")

"SB 48 micromanages public schools by forcing teachers, administrators, local school boards, textbooks, and instructional materials to promote a gaggle of sexual lifestyles that disturb parents and confuse kids," Thomasson said. "This state mandate targets children for sexual brainwashing, behind the backs of parents, teaching boys and girls to admire those who engage in unnatural and unhealthy homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual behavior."

If SB 48 becomes law:

1. Textbooks and instructional materials must positively promote "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans" as "role" models.

2. Children as young as 6 years old will be taught to admire homosexuality, same-sex "marriages," bisexuality, and transsexuality (sex-change operations).

3. Children will be taught to support the political activism of "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Questioning" (LGBTIQ) political groups, as the bill requires "particular emphasis on portraying the role of these groups in contemporary society."

4. Teachers will be made to positively portray homosexuality, same-sex "marriages," bisexuality, and transsexuality (sex-changes operations), because to be silent can bring the charge of "reflecting adversely."

5. School boards will be required to select textbooks and other instructional materials that positively portray sex-change operations, same-sex "marriages," and more, because to be silent on these subjects opens them up to charges of "reflecting adversely."

6. Parents will not be notified, nor will they be able to exempt their children, from this new core curriculum.

"California government schools are no longer morally safe for impressionable children," Thomasson said. "Because of the raft of sexual indoctrination laws already in force, which promote homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality under the guise of 'discrimination' and 'harassment,' the social engineers are already having their way with more than six million boys and girls, with or without SB 48. That's why we strongly urge loving parents to rescue their children by permanently removing them from government schools and placing them in the safe havens of church schools or homeschooling." (Source: RescueYourChild.com)

"We call on Governor Jerry Brown to have compassion, to respect parents, and to remember when public schools used to be good and didn't push sexual indoctrination," Thomasson said. "Now public schools aren't so good, yet homosexual activists are pushing their non-academic agenda without regard to parents or logic or the best interests of children. Governor Brown should prepare to veto this bad bill, which greatly disturbs parents, confuses kids, and flushes public schools farther down the toilet."

Blatant Intolerance by the Homosexual Agenda [Update]

I think that the flyer in the photo* above should read:

100% HATEFUL PRIDE! They also need to practice what they apparently like to preach: "Break down stereotypes and challenge (THEIR OWN FORM) of bigotry!"

Yesterday, I received an email alert from Randy Thomasson regarding the REAL reason why Carrie Prejean was FORCED OUT BY FIRING her from her title as Miss California. This was done by the director of the California pageant, Keith Lewis, who is also (surprise!) a rabid gay activist.

Before I present Mr. Thomasson's essay, I want to share one of the comments that I received over at my "Protect Biblical Marriage" blog post entitled Gay Activist Haters & Cohorts Finally Got Their Way:

Anonymous said:
"A contract is a contract is a contract."

Sure Miss California did upset some people, both gay and straight with her views on marriage, but you are blending the events that occurred that night with what has occurred now.

She was fired due to a breach in her contract, simple enough, lets move along.

Anonymous @ 3:33 a.m. -

Someone is lying. I sincerely doubt that it is Carrie Prejean or her pastor, Miles McPherson.

Miles appeared on Larry King Live the day the firing of Carrie announcement was made. He explained that Carrie HAD NOT breached her contract. She was fulfilling the duties that were being asked of her.

After reading the following blog post:

Why Carrie Prejean lost her earthly crown, I think I know what happened. She was forced out by the CA pageant director - Keith Lewis, who happens to be gay and was "insulted" when Carrie expressed her God-given view that SHE BELIEVES (what Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and other liberal democrats believe) that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.

From then on, he worked hard to find a way to get rid of her. Unfortunately, he succeeded.

[Added: As readers will see after reading Randy Thomasson's blog post, Keith Lewis attempted to force Carrie to make an appearance that would violate her values as a Christian woman. Lewis, in a similar manner as what the serpent in the garden of Eden did - tempted the luring of a young woman to do what she knew was against the God's will in order to keep her "earthly" crown. That is just despicable!!

See if you don't agree after reading this excerpt:

And there is evidence that Lewis tried to muzzle Carrie from speaking at events of her choosing. Email transcripts between Carrie and Lewis suggest he had a problem with her speaking at the Special Olympics, while, at the same time, suggesting she pose for Playboy and appear on grungy “reality TV” shows.

On Thursday, I listened to Carrie on the Sean Hannity radio show, who now has the help of pro-family attorney Chuck LiMandri, who’s issued a statement accusing Keith Lewis of fabricating his claims.

On the show, Carrie said Lewis wanted her to attend a documentary promoting gay “marriage” at the Sundance Film Festival and she refused. “If I’m in breach of contract because I didn’t go to a gay event, so be it,” she said.

As for the Playboy magazine offer, Carrie says this “shows their hidden agenda…they wanted me to break to the contract [prohibiting nude and semi-nude photos]…they wanted me out from day one….I have the email to prove it.”

“This is happening to me because of my stance on gay marriage,” Carrie said. “It’s not because of the contract…It’s really taught me how intolerant some people can be…It’s not right and it’s just plain wrong what’s happened to me.”

I agree. The big picture here is the blatant intolerance of the homosexual agenda, which PUNISHES anyone who disagrees with them.]

But I do not think that this is the end of the story. A lawsuit will get the truth out. I hope that Carrie goes through with it. She has an iron will - especially when she was so viciously verbally attacked and even got DEATH THREATS from the gay mafia. I see her as a young woman who has the strength to go through with a lawsuit, if she chooses to do so.

I have heard her speak at The Rock Church. She would not go through with the lawsuit for personal gain. She would do it for the sake of free speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of association - all rights that are guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

I am doing a post on this on my Talk Wisdom blog and will cross-post it here.

Mr. Thomasson' post reveals the truth behind Lewis' sneaky maneuverings to get Carrie Prejean fired. Lewis is a homosexual filled with hate and bigotry of anyone who disagrees with his sexual deviancy, sinful sexual practices, and mafia-styled homosexual activism.

Here is Mr. Thomasson's essay in its entirety:

Why Carrie Prejean lost her earthly crown

Thursday, June 11, 2009, 5:43 pm Randy Thomasson

First, a homosexual activist “judge” kept Carrie Prejean from winning the Miss USA contest.

Next, the homosexual “marriage” activists who led the California pageant tried to get Carrie fired, but Donald Trump said no.

Finally, the homosexual activist director of the Miss California Pageant persisted and got rid of Carrie.

Keith Lewis, the director of the Miss California USA Pageant, is an open homosexual and obviously very insecure. After Carrie said on national TV on April 19 that marriage is only for a man and a woman, Lewis said he was personally offended. For weeks, he campaigned unprofessionally, publicly and continually attacking Carrie and aggressively lobbied Donald Trump to fire her.

Lewis’ anti-natural-marriage campaign showed its venom on May 11. That’s when Lewis and then-co-director Shanna Moakler (who strongly believes in homosexual “marriage” and was a Playboy centerfold) held a Beverly Hills news conference blasting Carrie for “unauthorized” speaking engagements at her church and at a traditional marriage news conference, as well as Carrie’s lingerie and swimsuit photos, and called for her to be fired.

The next day, May 12, pageant owner Donald Trump directed everyone to “make nice” and said Carrie would keep her crown. But what does oil have in common with water or light in common with dark? The 12-page contract Carrie signed is horrible and gave Keith Lewis so much power over her.

The day after the “unity event” in New York, Moakler and Lewis came back to California. That same day, Moakler resigned from her pageant post to protest Carrie keeping her crown. And Lewis began “keeping a file” on Carrie in an effort to eventually fire her himself.

That takes us to now.

There’s every indication that Lewis had daggers in his eyes for Carrie ever since she said she doesn’t believe in homosexual “marriage” like he does.
And there is evidence that Lewis tried to muzzle Carrie from speaking at events of her choosing. Email transcripts between Carrie and Lewis suggest he had a problem with her speaking at the Special Olympics, while, at the same time, suggesting she pose for Playboy and appear on grungy “reality TV” shows.

On Thursday, I listened to Carrie on the Sean Hannity radio show, who now has the help of pro-family attorney Chuck LiMandri, who’s issued a statement accusing Keith Lewis of fabricating his claims.

On the show, Carrie said Lewis wanted her to attend a documentary promoting gay “marriage” at the Sundance Film Festival and she refused. “If I’m in breach of contract because I didn’t go to a gay event, so be it,” she said.

As for the Playboy magazine offer, Carrie says this “shows their hidden agenda…they wanted me to break to the contract [prohibiting nude and semi-nude photos]…they wanted me out from day one….I have the email to prove it.”

“This is happening to me because of my stance on gay marriage,” Carrie said. “It’s not because of the contract…It’s really taught me how intolerant some people can be…It’s not right and it’s just plain wrong what’s happened to me.”

I agree. The big picture here is the blatant intolerance of the homosexual agenda, which PUNISHES anyone who disagrees with them.

If Carrie were my sister, I would have encouraged her to quit a few weeks ago. She had “appealed” the bad conduct of her boss Keith Lewis to a higher judge, Donald Trump, the owner of the pageant. But Lewis kept his job and kept targeting Carrie. Apparently, the animosity of a homosexual activist against those who disagree will never agree to peace.
Quitting would have put Carrie in the driver’s seat. She could have told America how she stood on principle about her public appearances and had to quit rather than give up her principles. Why agree to have your free speech controlled by a homosexual activist who hates you and targets you for your stand on marriage?

But look what’s happened. Keith Lewis and Carrie’s detractors aggressively rode the media circuit the first 24 hours of this story. While Carrie was hiding from the media that day and turning down interview requests, she was publicly labeled a contract-breaker. By not anticipating the firing and not doing media, Carrie was called the bad guy and the homosexual activists cheered. Twenty-two-year-old Carrie needs better public relations advisors!

To many, this is a case of “he said, she said.” America clearly witnessed and understood the first intolerant homosexual attack from Perez Hilton upon Carrie during the Miss USA Pageant. But now that another homosexual activist, Pageant Director Keith Lewis, has attacked Carrie on a technicality, which involves details about public appearances that are cloudy or at least unclear. America can’t correctly judge this.

Through it all, Carrie has been given an incredible platform and opportunity to speak for God’s truth. My hope is that Carrie will seek God’s biblical wisdom for her next step. Personally, I would like to see her reject fleshy beauty pageants and the lusty photos she’s posed in, which, so far, she’s defended. It would be helpful to America for her to write a book that honors what God created – the natural family and moral standards for sexuality – and championing the American ethic of free speech.

But most of all, I hope Carrie will take some time to grow deeper in her faith and in everything seek to be a holy example for girls and young women. I don’t want teen girls to dream about strutting on stage for a beauty contest or taking risqué photos or getting breast implants like Carrie did. God created women to be much better than that.

Get a healthy perspective on the topic of outer beauty versus inner beauty. Listen to the SaveAmerica.com Radio Show with former model Jennifer Strickland. This is a very stimulating discussion to help women develop a true identity and give up their false identities. (Men, you need to hear this too, to understand the women and girls in your family.)

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30 NIV

Update:

Watch this interview by Matt Lauer with Carrie Prejean. Even MORE proof that Carrie was set up by gay activist Keith Lewis!!

Why Hatred is Spewed Against Miss California

While cooking dinner and watching O'Reilly, I was pleasantly surprised to see Pastor Miles on the show! He was being questioned about the continual hatred being spewed against Miss California, Carrie Prejean by the far left loons.

Pastor Miles gave GREAT answers! I loved the answer he shared whenever the gay rights movement vs. the black civil rights movement question comes up. They don't compare. One is a behavior, the other involves skin color and ethnicity. He said (paraphrased), 'I know several people who are not gay anymore, but never met anyone who isn't black anymore.'

The media portrays "gayness" as something unchangeable. That is why the radical gay agenda activists absolutely HATE anyone who has changed their orientation! It is a threat to their perceived "rights" agenda.

The same hate is aimed at any popular national spokesperson - like new spokeswoman for National Organization for Marriage - Carrie Prejean, who advocates for God's plan for marriage. After all - God invented the union of one man and one woman as a covenant relationship. Science and reason back up such wisdom and knowledge as well.

Those who fight against that covenant which was first established by God have not only an argument with millions of people who uphold such unions (as most born-again biblically-based Christians do), but they also are attempting to argue with, and fight against God's will, science, and reason in the matter! This is why their spirits are so disturbed and they act out in hate, anger, slander, cursing, and disparagement.

The truth is, they are in a lot of pain and anger - not because of those who reject "marriage" for them - but because they are spiritually broken and reject God's will in their lives.

Miss California's pronouncement reminded them of that truth - even though they would absolutely refuse to admit it. She reminded them of their spiritual brokenness and separation from God because of their refusal to confess, repent, and submit to His Will in their lives. Jesus warned us that people would, "hate us because they first hated him."

Most Christians are more heavily aware of the spiritual battle behind it all. However, deep in each person's soul, the difference between right (good) and wrong (evil) has been planted in our conscience by God. Anyone can hide and reject such awareness and commit evil, sinful acts. They can even go further to proclaim what they do as "goodness and righteousness," despite the fact that God's Word reveals it as evil and sin. But when they do so, they are in denial.

The homosexual community is a cult. They, and their cohorts, are deeply involved with denial and are actively suppressing that truth. They are in bondage to their particular sin - and they will fight to the death not to allow it to be revealed and exposed as such. This is why they will do all that they can to punish anyone who disagrees with their radical agenda. They continue to shake their fists at God and refuse to do the one thing that will save them from their sins!

It is only with a humbling of oneself before God, confession, repentance, accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and the continuing sanctification in this life that a person who self-identifies as homosexual can be released from the bondage of that behavior and identity as well as the punishment (which we all, as sinners in need of the Savior deserve) that results because of such sin.

But it takes an act of the will to do so.

It involves denying the wrong fleshly desires and agreeing with God as to what is proper in a sexual relationship via the covenant of marriage.

Some will always refuse God's mercy, grace, love, and forgiveness and continue to go their own way. This is to their own detriment.

All we can do, as believers, is point them in the right direction towards Jesus Christ.

Pro 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

Pro 12:15 The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice.

Mat 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

Jhn 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Jhn 3:7 You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
