Gay Group: "Shut Down Churches that Are Against Gay Marriage"

[1x1is1]

Okay,Okay........ I admit it, I watch Dancing With the Stars (with my wife).   Of course it had to happen, it celebrated a gay guy because he was "open" bout it.  At least he was eliminated from the competition tonight.   We were saved from having him kiss his boyfriend if he had won the show in the end.  We Will discontinue watching the show if there ever comes a time when they allow male dancers to dance with male celebrities, or women with women.  

 

As for churches going underground, maybe that is what it will take to group us together.  Look how Rome finally had to welcome the Churches back into society.  Kill one Christian and 3 more pop up somewhere else nearby.

In my hometown, there is  vote today on the "Sexual Orientation Gender Identity bill passed by city council.   If it is not repealed by voters, it gives law enforcement the ability to inspect your business, but not using actual law enforcement personnel.  They will hire inspectors, not elected officials to conduct these inspections.

 

 

It occurs to me that this is what its really all about.   They are hiding behind the gays as a reason to do required "inspections" of businesses.  Very Stalinistic, if you ask me.

One of the problems I see in the Church is that we have so many people who are against homosexuality until a family member shows up gay.    When a son or a daughter turns up gay, these Christians who were once against gay marriage, suddenly alter their theology and change their stance because they can't bring them to face up to the sin in their own family.    I am not saying this is the case 100% of the time, but it happens very often.

 

Brother, this is not true in my part of the world.  I see the pain of many parents who are believers when they find out their family member has decided to follow the gay lifestyle.  My family is not excluded from this either, and I can tell you, it hurts.

It does hurt the people I am referring to, and it is for that reason, that they cannot campaign any longer against gay issues.  They are hurt, but it is that parental instinct to protect their children that kicks in.   They take a much softer stance.   There was a Church that was recently disfellowshipped from the Southern Baptist Convention because the pastor's son turned up gay and the pastor convinced his congregation to accept gay marriage and to accept homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.

 

I hope those whom you are familiar with don't cave in.

My sister-in-law is a homosexual and I witnessed first hand how emotionally devastating it was for the entire family.  It took over a year before my mother-in-law would even accept her back into the home.  Unfortunately, she has resigned herself to her daughter's choice and has tried to keep a relationship with her and her partner.  It took the story of another mother, a friend of hers who's child did commit suicide because he was gay, before she finally accepted it.  But, she was given 2 devastating choices, either don't accept it and risk losing her daughter to suicide, or compromise her values and hope she doesn't outlive her daughter.  As for my wife, she really hasn't fully accepted her sister's choice, though it breaks her heart to be in conflict with her.

 

It is emotional blackmail, and once you have a homosexual family member, they force you to support their lifestyle choice.  I can't post anything anti-homosexual on facebook without being harassed by her and her friends and family members that think her choice is ok.

 

I think we are starting to understand that the militant homosexuals will not leave anything sacred or off-limits in their march against Judeo-Christian morality.  They are forcing a confrontation that Christians do not want to have.  But, what choice are they giving us?  They are harassing us on social networks, attacking our churches and corrupting our children in our schools.

And to think a year or two ago we were not talking about this it was not on our radar ....yet Solomon in wisdom given from God said ...there is nothing new under the sun..times are changing and speeding up. Can Jesus coming be long? Yet...back in the times of the apostles, after Jesus ascension they were looking forward to His return...Maranatha..He MUST be coming soon...things are getting stranger and more questionable all the time. Right is wrong wrong is right leaders are devoid of logic and men and women...well seeking what is not natural from our leadership on down. Lesbian and homosexual leaders....can God be expected to bless the land?
