If you have the time and patience to read this:

http://www.sciencedi...049089X12000610

This new study shows that children of same-sex parental households are negatively affected.

A review of the study is here

(Please read the review at least before commenting before re-hashing the same, old arguments, OK?)

Hi, D-9,

I haven't read the report, so correct me if I'm wrong. But doesn't the fact that so many of the homosexual families end up being broken mean anything?

EDITED:

I just looked up the source and One News Now is the "journalism arm" of the American Family Association. Long known for making up facts and studies.

i don't need a study to know that children raised by parents who are homosexual are negatively affected.

i don't need a study to know that children raised in a single parent home are negatively affected.

i don't need a study to know that children raised by swingers are negatively affected.

if a child is not raised with biblical family values, and are shown by example by his faithful, monogamous, God-fearing, heterosexual parents, then they're gonna be screwed up.

and they might end up screwed up anyway. we live in a fallen world.

Children raised by gay parents tend to do slightly better...not because their parents are gay but because most adopted children are brough in under ideal cirsumstances.

People who adopt children do so with planning and proper preperation, allowing the parents plenty of time and money to best nurture the child.

People will go with what ever suits their fancy ... the bottom line is-> it is quite telling that people who support such agenda (same sex) did not arrive to be

from that agenda...huh! guess if they had their way they would perfer not to be.... Love, Steven

It never ceases to amaze me that so many people need scientific data to tell them the same thing God said in His Word. At the same time, I'm always delighted when scientific data supports what God said in His Word.

Unfortunately, it seems there is always going to be a LOT of people who need scientific convincing that God is right. Sadly, there are still too many people who refuse to believe in God no matter how much data they are presented with. They want God to perform a major miracle to convince them. If only they would believe God first, they might find He will do something in their life as a minor miracle. But first they have to believe Him. That was what happened with me.

It is understandable! God had no other avenue but to place a membrane through which only He and that of He could be The Only which could pass through...

He ask us to give up all that is here to gain all the is on the other side of Him and He 'IS' the Membrane by which all must pass through... Faith is a Cadillac of Cadillacs :) Love, Steven

Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go,

And when he is old he will not depart from it.

However you raise your child, and the enviornment that he/she is in is how they are gonna be. "The apple doesnt fall far from the tree"

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
