“Can you imagine waking up one morning and hearing the state no longer recognizes your marriage and that suddenly everything from medical decisions to child custody to basic inheritance and ownership rules were up for grabs?”

Thats because it never existed at all because you know, Marriage is the union between man and woman. So called same-sex “marriages” do not exist, it is an oxymoron, it is make-believe.

And the people telling you “stable public morality” requires your pain and sacrifice have also told America that a vote for a thrice-married, multiple adulterer who faces multiple, corroborated claims of sexual abuse, and who appeared in Playboy Video Centerfold: Playmate 2000 Bernaola Twins was an urgent moral imperative?

” requires your pain also said that voting for a man who overturned Roe VS Wade”

Fixed

All that he has written here supports the fact that the so called “Respect for Marriage Act” has no purpose.

French is naive if he thinks the plain wording of the law will stop the Biden administration (or any future Democrat administration) from trying to take tax-exempt status away from churches which refuse to perform same-sex marriages.

The sentence he quotes may have a clear meaning to lawyers but probably a lot of non-lawyers will be a little uncertain about its meaning.

God recognizes two...and *only* two...sexes/genders.He only recognizes one kind of marriage.Anyone with a different attitude is an atheist.It’s that simple.

No homosexual union is to be sanctioned, much less declared to be a fundamental right,

(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MZABsf4JS94/maxresdefault.jpg)

and which can easily led to exemptions for non-profits to be removed, as the men of Sodom pressed upon Lot to gain entry to his house to get at the men inside that he was protecting, so the devil seeks entry into all places that protect Biblical marriages, so that all give glory to him who perverts all that God ordained, to man's benefit.

He doesn’t condemn LGBT living happily in sin? ... People can recognize their nonadherence to the commands of Christ, ...True, they need to start obeying Christ, ...Not the ones openly defying Christs commands.

I Cor 5:
9I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people—

10not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.

11But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.

12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?

13God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”

Especially verse 12

French, and other Never-Trumpers who pretend they are “conserving conservatism” by supporting the democrats, see themselves as heroes. They believe they only they can determine what conservatives and Christians should believe. And they believe conservatives should be supporting Biden and the left. What does that tell you?

There are so many of them who are the designated “conservative” at leftist publications and all they do is spout the leftist narrative. There is no difference in what they believe and what the left believes. In other words, they are not conservative at all. Instead, they are full-blown progressives. Progressives who write articles with headlines such as “The Conservative Argument for Drag-Queen Story Hour for Four Year Old Children”. Ignore them or mock them, but do not believe a word they say.

He can’t lose something he never had.

“... as the men of Sodom pressed upon Lot to gain entry to his house to get at the men inside that he was protecting, so the devil seeks entry into all places that protect Biblical marriages, so that all give glory to him who perverts all that God ordained, to man’s benefit.”

Fantastic, Daniel.

“God recognizes two...and *only* two...sexes/genders.”

I would submit that true science can only recognize two genders too, since no matter how many nips, cuts, slices, or hormones will ever change ones DNA that they were born as. While I’m sure that the current mrna research is trying to cure that problem, to date it is still not possible.

We are living in a Genesis 19:9 world...
 

"Get out of our way,” they replied.
“This fellow came here as a foreigner, and now he wants to play the judge!
We’ll treat you worse than them.”
They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.
 


The Health Risks of gay sex.


 

And now,  a BIBLICAL Message about homosexuality



 
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and 
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.


Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. 

           They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

 
 


Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them;

they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it.

Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

================================================

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight.

They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

================================================

Ezekiel 16:49-50  "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:

She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

They were haughty and did detestable things before me.

 Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

 


Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
 
 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. 


2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. 
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


What kind of a people are we;

that we allow men dressed in womens clothes

to pervert the minds of little children?


But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

  9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
      Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. 
But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

Some people look down on my superb c&p abilities.

I encourage them to try it themselves.

Just like small poems with an AABBA format, one gets better with practice.

That was the most torturous thing I’ve read in quite some time, and it normally is when someone is trying to make the narrow path into a wide road. Frenchy doesn’t realize his argument is with the Author of The Book, not fellow Christians. And, paraphrasing the late, great Herb Brooks, Albert Mohler should worry about is own game. Plenty there to keep him busy.
