More than 100 leaders respond to Supreme Court legalizing same-sex marriage.
A coalition of evangelical leaders assembled by the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission has released the following:
As evangelical Christians, we dissent from the court’s ruling that redefines marriage. The state did not create the family, and should not try to recreate the family in its own image. We will not capitulate on marriage because biblical authority requires that we cannot. The outcome of the Supreme Court’s ruling to redefine marriage represents what seems like the result of a half-century of witnessing marriage’s decline through divorce, cohabitation, and a worldview of almost limitless sexual freedom. The Supreme Court’s actions pose incalculable risks to an already volatile social fabric by alienating those whose beliefs about marriage are motivated by deep biblical convictions and concern for the common good. The Bible clearly teaches the enduring truth that marriage consists of one man and one woman.

The next step is and has been to silence Christians. As they are discovering, that is not so easy. So, the next step is to completely destroy Christianity.
But, that won’t be so easy as the Roman Empire found out.
Finally.
I believe we need to be prepared to stand with our pastors. If the leftist want to try and destroy the church (they can’t because Christ dwells within our hearts) they will have to arrest the congregation or most of it. Some need to watch the kids.
Kudos.
If you own a bakery, bake only one style cake. If the homos don't want that cake with a man and woman or a cross on top, they'll have to find another baker.
Harley Davidson stores only sell Harley's. The homos can't force those stores to sell Honda's!
If you're a florist, use only one type of ribbon. Maybe decorated with small crosses, or something more pro-hererosexual. If the homos don't like the ribbons, they'll have to go somewhere else. You only sell one type of ribbon! They can't dictate WHAT product you choose to sell.
Churches can only do HOLY matrimony. Homosexuality is deemed unholy to the church and in the eyes of God. If the homos don't like it, they can always find a Satanic church and get married there. (It would still be legal according to the state, so there's no problem. They still get their coveted cash benefits and can still engage in their dysfunctional sex practices. )
THE KEY - Remember, the homos can't dictate WHAT you choose to sell. Only through the principalities in black robes can they dictate WHO you must sell to!
Yes, Biblical authority says we can NOT compromise on this issue. We left them alone and let them do what they wanted to and now they have gotten a decision which allow them to FORCE their point of view on those who do not agree. We are now living in dangerous times, absolutely no doubt about it.
Stupid statement that cedes more ground than it claims. That is a prime example of why we lost this battle. It should have been easy but the squishes got squishier and they met a bogus emotional appeal with emotion rather than facts. These guys have been spiritually sissified.
I hope that the LGBT crowd declares all out war on the Church and Christians. The LGBT activists who thought gay marriage was a bridge too far were right.
I want them to push as hard as they can. To the point that Christianity is criminalized.
Only then will people get off the couch and push back.
Yep.... Christianity flourishes when it is under persecution. This will strengthen the true church and sift the tares out. It will be like 9-11 for the church. God will use this.
Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
I don’t see the church strengthening. I see it departing. The goal of the left has been to end true Christianity. They wrongly think that that will turn everyone into liberals like them. It won’t. They won’t know what hit them. If they want to rid the world of the goodness of Christianity they had better watch out. They have no idea what restraint religion affords their sorry selves and the opponent they might really face without it.
Nope. We haven't. People can still hang pictures everywhere of the Rockwell type families. They can put up crosses. They can hang flags. Stores, private homes, rental properties all have the right to offer any product they choose and not sell others. Make EVERYTHING hetero- beautiful!
Homos cannot be defeated by votes because of the principalities in high places, but they can be socially shunned and replaced with images and discussions of the good and the holy. People need to remember the normal, happy lives they used to live, and that those wonderful years of family, unconditional love, and community can be rebuilt without the politicians or the courts.
No one says ANYONE has to befriend a homo, or acknowledge them or their existence. Instead, bring everything good out in the open to remind people how great this country once was, and how wonderful it can be again if we could just bring back the type of love we all once felt from having a fun, safe neighborhood to live in and real mom and dad.
Always, 24/7, tell those you meat about the glorious days of safe neighborhoods, schools that taught the three "R's", family, abundant jobs, and moms apple pie.
Inside, people are craving this type of comfort in their lives. Souls today are lost, alone, and unloved. Everyone is searching for something they can't find. Teach them. Show them the way. Eternal laws are truly eternal, and they're always the answer to every problem.
.
I like your optimism but I still say we lost the battle. Time to duck and cover. When times are evil, the prudent stay silent. I am not being prudent in that way right now but I am considering it. I am mad and must vent first.
The crazy people are in control. I’m ashamed of my country.
Very good thinking.
Bttt
Yep. The homos are going to go too far. "Tolerance" for homosexuals is only forced through intimidation and activism. There's no such thing as homosexual tolerance like most people have been lead to believe. It'll go down in the history books someday as "the big lie."
It's the Godly who run the soup kitchens and homeless shelters. They run the thrift stores and food pantries. They run the hospital charities. It's the Christians who come running after a national disaster. It's the Christians who come running when a local family is in need......and the American people know this. They may not be godly themselves, but they know who the good guys are. They've witnessed their fruits.
When it's time for the American people to choose - the Holy and helpful or the satanic and diseased, I believe the Holy will survive. The homos have done nothing to help anyone at all. All they care about are their disgusting sex practices and forcing their filth into everyone elses faces.
This country needs the Christians and their generous hearts. This country does not need the vile sex fetishists , pedophiles, or their diseases.
I pray you are right.
“VENGEANCE IS MINE”, sayeth the Lord. From Leviticus (Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.) in the Old Testament to Romans (For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:).
Homos cannot declare war on nature and natures God and expect to win. It won't be us that will awaken the nations (though we can take full advantage of it). It's going to be another plague that's bigger, stronger, more powerful, and more deadly than AIDs could ever dream of being.
The next plaque has to be fast and kill quickly so that the "wheat" will not be harmed by it.
I'm being patient. I'm sure it's on it's way. There's no doubt in my mind. All we have to do is watch for it. (God will not be mocked.)
For me, this is not just about christianity.
This is a clear violation of our Constitution
and must not be allowed to stand else everything
we were raised to believe in falls.
God bless those who fight to preserve
our heritage and our posterity.
