Online Petition Thanks LDS Church For Prop. 8 Support

I want to thank all the folks who worked to stop the Homosexuals in their drive to S&G II; especially those who did their work in obscurity and not needing stroking and acceptance from men.


Matthew 6
 
 1.  "Be careful not to do your `acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
 2.  "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
 3.  But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
 4.  so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
 5.  "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.
 6.  But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

The key verse is “to be seen by them.” It speaks to motivation, and—please pay attention—it has absolutely no application in this instance. Quoting this scripture after LDS and other churches have been threatened for their righteous endeavors would be a little bit like chiding General Washington for accepting the presidency after winning the Revolutionary War.

Christians who fought for proposition 8 didn’t do it to be “seen by men.” They did it to protect their children. Wise up.
