The Straight Truth About ProtestGayDay.com
& “TEXAS RANGERS TO HOLD GAY DAY”
At The Ballpark In Arlington.
Words In Quotations Taken From The Gay & Lesbian Newspaper Article 

   Mike Cramer, who is the President of Operations with the Texas Rangers organization, has repeatedly refused to address the article in the Dallas Voice Newspaper stating, “Gay Day at the Ballpark will be the first time a major professional athletic team has reached out to the gay community and offered to help organize such an event.”  Instead, he insinuates that the Rangers did not have their salesperson personally contact the homosexual groups. On the contrary, Gil Flores maintains: “A sales representative who helped organize last year’s Gay Day for the Dallas Burn, the city’s major league soccer team, now works for the Rangers and brought the idea for Gay Day at the Ballpark with him, according to Gil Flores, services director for the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Community Center.” It appears that the Texas Rangers Organization is just spinning the truth to downplay their involvement. The Bible calls that a lie, and so do we at ProtestGayDay.com.

   The Rangers (Mike Cramer) says that Gay Day does not exist.  IF this is true, then WHY haven't the Rangers asked the Dallas Voice to retract their announcement of this event?  Why haven't the Ranger's "gone after" the DV for publishing a bunch of lies?  There's been no retraction, and to my knowledge no demand for any retraction?  Mike Cramer stated on The Wilder Show that the Rangers did not have the time to go after every group that prints false information about the Rangers. As KCBI 90.9 FM stated in the news, “the Texas Rangers got more than what they bargained for." For the sake of loyal Texas Rangers fans and families, the Rangers should have taken the time to stop this homosexual propaganda. It would have taken one phone call. I asked Mike Cramer to have the Dallas Voice retract their statements 4 weeks ago. I informed him that if they did not make the Dallas Voice retract their statements, then ProtestGayDay.com would be obligated to let the people know.  

   We are receiving a lot of emails about us protesting the Rangers. I need to be clear about what we are doing. We are protesting both the homosexuals and the Texas Rangers. We are protesting the homosexuals for using a family institution such as baseball, the Texas Rangers and our Ballpark in Arlington to legitimize their perverted lifestyles. The homosexuals ARE NOT simply going out to watch a baseball game with their buddies. They are going to push their perverted homosexual agendas in an effort to gain some sort of normalcy to their kind. They want you and your children to see them and accept them as normal. God did not make man to have sex with another man, nor a woman with another woman. It is not normal. It will never be normal. To think that it is natural is insanity. God obviously made man's anatomy for the purpose of reproduction. We promote salvation and deliverance for the homosexuals. Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for all of our sins. They can be saved just like we got saved. Deliverance is going to be more of a challenge for a homosexual though. We will help you through the trials ahead. It's never easy going back up the mountain once you have fallen, but with help from brothers and sisters in Christ, it is much more bearable. Our purpose is to bring “Gay Day” to the attention of families so that they can be informed and be able to make the decision that they feel is in the best interest of their children and families. They also need to know the truth about how the Rangers contacted and negotiated the sale of tickets with the homosexuals. They may have convictions to not ever go to a game at the Ballpark again. We also have a petition on our website that people are signing to have their voices heard and morals to be known. We are protesting to make a stand for righteousness. People all across America and around the world need to know that there are decent moral people still in the United States that are willing to make sacrifices to protect and preserve our children and families.

   Lastly, we are protesting the Texas Rangers Organization to hold them accountable. They should just admit the truth. They had their sales representative contact and negotiate the sale of tickets to the homosexuals just like he did before with the Dallas Burn.The Texas Rangers have a responsibility as a sports team, which children look towards as role models, to act on the behalf of and in the best interest of their fans. This event legitimizes the perverted Gay & Lesbian lifestyle in the eyes of the unsuspecting, innocent child. Homosexuals are still very much a minority group and families will not sit back and let them take over our communities. The Texas Rangers should be ashamed. They are the ones who contacted Gil Flores, who is the services director for the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Community Center. The Texas Rangers reached out to the homosexual community in hope of getting some extra ticket sales. That's the bottom line and they are therefore responsible for legitimizing the homosexuals in the eyes of our children.

  

2 Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

 

Thank you for your support of families,

Dear Sir, I'm concerned that you do not realize that you are brainwashed. Check: You just equated a group of people that are recognized by their perverted sexual preferences, to people from a Baptist church. Please weigh this out in your mind and when the smoke clears and you begin to see the light you can respond.

Apology Accepted!

Apology not offered. I was commenting on what was represented on the radio that day on the Mark Davis show when he interviewed a representative of the Ranger organization. Believe me I wouldn't relish the thought of going to a game and having to put up what I've seen happen at other venues.

The Straight Truth About ProtestGayDay.com
& “TEXAS RANGERS TO HOLD GAY DAY”
At The Ballpark In Arlington.
Words In Quotations Taken From The Gay & Lesbian Newspaper Article
Mike Cramer, who is the President of Operations with the Texas Rangers organization, has repeatedly refused to address the article in the Dallas Voice Newspaper stating, “Gay Day at the Ballpark will be the first time a major professional athletic team has reached out to the gay community and offered to help organize such an event.” Instead, he insinuates that the Rangers did not have their salesperson personally contact the homosexual groups. On the contrary, Gil Flores maintains: “A sales representative who helped organize last year’s Gay Day for the Dallas Burn, the city’s major league soccer team, now works for the Rangers and brought the idea for Gay Day at the Ballpark with him, according to Gil Flores, services director for the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Community Center.” It appears that the Texas Rangers Organization is just spinning the truth to downplay their involvement. The Bible calls that a lie, and so do we at ProtestGayDay.com.
The Rangers (Mike Cramer) says that Gay Day does not exist. IF this is true, then WHY haven't the Rangers asked the Dallas Voice to retract their announcement of this event? Why haven't the Ranger's "gone after" the DV for publishing a bunch of lies? There's been no retraction, and to my knowledge no demand for any retraction? Mike Cramer stated on The Wilder Show that the Rangers did not have the time to go after every group that prints false information about the Rangers. As KCBI 90.9 FM stated in the news, “the Texas Rangers got more than what they bargained for." For the sake of loyal Texas Rangers fans and families, the Rangers should have taken the time to stop this homosexual propaganda. It would have taken one phone call. I asked Mike Cramer to have the Dallas Voice retract their statements 4 weeks ago. I informed him that if they did not make the Dallas Voice retract their statements, then ProtestGayDay.com would be obligated to let the people know.

Email to Mike Cramer President of Operations for the Texas Rangers:
(1.) Is the article, as printed, in the Dallas Voice True? (This means you need to read the complete article and tell us what is true or is not true about it as it concerns the Texas Rangers. (a.) "Gay Day at the Ballpark will be the first time a major professional athletic team has reached out to the gay community and offered to help organize such an event." & (b.) "A sales representative who helped organize last year's Gay Day for the Dallas Burn, the city's major league soccer team, now works for the Rangers and brought the idea for Gay Day at the Ballpark with him, according to Gil Flores, services director for the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Community Center." Gil Flores has continued to restate these comments, uncontested by the Texas Rangers, on The Mark Davis Show and Sports Radio The Ticket.
(2.) The Texas Rangers are not holding the Dallas Voice accountable for these lies and are not making them retract their statements. Why? If the article is true why don't the Texas Rangers admit that it is true to the public?

Quotes from Mike Cramer of the Texas Rangers, Heard on The Word 100.7 FM The Scott Wilder Show
"to the "Dallas Voice: Look, why don’t you not misrepresent what this is and please correct the article?" " They know it’s incorrect and they should correct it."

Email to writer Angela Geralds & The Dallas Voice:
Can you please answer this question for the both of us?
(1.) Are you and the Dallas Voice making the retraction or the correction that Mike Cramer President of Operations for the Texas Rangers has ask you to make? (Meaning do you agree with what Mike says? "to the "Dallas Voice: Look, why don’t you not misrepresent what this is and please correct the article?" " They know it’s incorrect and they should correct it.")

Quotations Taken From The Gay & Lesbian Newspaper Article
Cramer said the headline, “Rangers to hold Gay Day,” was untrue, but the Rangers president said he would not formally request that the newspaper issue a correction.
Dallas Voice editor Dennis Vercher said the newspaper would not issue a correction or retraction.
“A Rangers representative got this promotion going.” Vercher said, “The team said the groups could promote it any way they wished, and the gay groups informed the team early on of their intention to market it as Gay Day at the Ballpark. It was only after the protest began that the Rangers developed cold feet about the particular name.”

“They [the Rangers] said we could market it any way we wanted,” Flores said. “So we told them we’d market it as Gay Day at the Ballpark.”

ProtestGayDay.com Last Words To Mike Cramer President of Operations for the Texas Rangers:
You chose not to reply then you leave us with no choice but to discern that you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth on the issue. You are saying one thing to the homosexuals and another thing to the Christian audience. This is exactly what ProtestGayDay.com has said all along. We have continued to hope that we were wrong. We met with a group of Pastors in Arlington and they asked me the same questions that I have been asking Mike Cramer. You have been vague intentionally to serve your purpose of your actions not being discovered. They were discovered back on 8-21-03 the first day I spoke with you. Now everyone knows the truth!
This is standard operation for corporations. Six Flags over Texas has been doing the same thing for 6 years. “Gay Day” at Six Flags Over Texas is Saturday 9-20-03. These people are counting on the fact that we Christians are too busy entertaining ourselves to stand up to them and do anything about having “Gay Day”. Until now they’ve been right in their assumption. We Christians have had a great awakening. We repent of our sins. We are committed to Jesus Christ to stand and be active. ProtestGayDay.com

Mike Cramer, who is the President of Operations with the Texas Rangers organization, has repeatedly refused to address the article in the Dallas Voice Newspaper stating, “Gay Day at the Ballpark will be the first time a major professional athletic team has reached out to the gay community and offered to help organize such an event.”

So what? The gay and lesbian groups who bought the tickets are the ones calling it "Gay Day," NOT the Texas Rangers.

Instead, he insinuates that the Rangers did not have their salesperson personally contact the homosexual groups.

In what format, publication, and context did Cramer "insinuate" this? As far as I can tell, the only thing the Rangers are "guilty" of doing is selling tickets to a group of people, the same way they would happily sell blocks of tickets to the Boy Scouts, a church group, a corporate group, or any other group. A group buys a bunch of tickets, they make a social outing out of going to the game, they get their name flashed on the scoreboard. Big deal - it happens every day.

Just because IBM buys a block of tickets to a specific game does not mean that the Rangers would necessarily refer to it as "IBM Day," and the Rangers are certainly not marketing this particular game as "Gay Day."

On the contrary, Gil Flores maintains: “A sales representative who helped organize last year’s Gay Day for the Dallas Burn, the city’s major league soccer team, now works for the Rangers and brought the idea for Gay Day at the Ballpark with him, according to Gil Flores, services director for the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Community Center.”

Again, so what? The gay and lesbian groups participating are the ones calling it "Gay Day," NOT the Texas Rangers. Selling tickets is a good thing and is the idea of owning a baseball team.

It appears that the Texas Rangers Organization is just spinning the truth to downplay their involvement. The Bible calls that a lie, and so do we at ProtestGayDay.com.

What have the Texas Rangers "lied" about? They sell blocks of tickets to groups who ask for them - period. Sounds like plain old free enterprise to me.

The Rangers (Mike Cramer) says that Gay Day does not exist. IF this is true, then WHY haven't the Rangers asked the Dallas Voice to retract their announcement of this event? Why haven't the Ranger's "gone after" the DV for publishing a bunch of lies?

Because the customer (in this case the gay and lesbian groups) have the perfect right to call the day whatever they want to. They bought the tickets and can do pretty much whatever they want with them and can call the day pretty much whatever they want to call it. Nowhere in your piece have you proven that the Texas Rangers are marketing it or referring to it in any way as "Gay Day."

There's been no retraction, and to my knowledge no demand for any retraction?

No "retraction" is necessary, as the gay and lesbian groups can call the day whatever they want to. Its called "free speech."

There are enough truly worthy causes out there for people of faith to take up as their own; endlessly harping on this non-issue just makes you and your organization look ridiculous.

[Warden]

The TEXAS RANGERS Never Made A Request To The Dallas Voice to retract or correct their statements. WHY??? Because the TEXAS RANGERS told the homosexuals that it was O.K. to advertise it as "Gay Day". Most of these people posting on this list just are not sharp enough to catch it when the Rangers speak out of both sides of their mouth. The Rangers are too quick for them. Any intelligible person can see right through it. The Rangers are DESPERATE for tickets sales and concessions sales. The Rangers initiated the group sale. ProtestGayDay.com stopped the homosexuals from being successful. They talk about gay pride, but they do not like the idea of a media circus. Say what you will. ProtestGayDay.com stirred up the media and the homosexuals did not go to the game. What would have happened if? We will never know. I like not ever knowing much more than the other possibility... Your children will thank us even if you are entertained to death and half extinct.

Is that you Rick? What fundraising vehicle will you next pursue, now that the "Gay Day" fizzled? I see you attracted the scumbag W.O. Otwell, who is just this side of W. Fred Phelps in his hatred of gays.

Sorry your little protest bombed. Not many gays showed up either, which shows how much Major League Baseball sucks.

There was no "Gay Day," there never was a "Gay Day," and your protests to the contrary just made you look foolish.

[sinkspur]

Mark Davis said that we ProtestGayDay.com has successfully squelched the possibility that any other local major sports franchise might even consider the possibility of doing the same thing as the Rangers.

If a group of gays decide to go buy Stars hockey tickets, the Stars will sell them, just as the Rangers did.

There was no "Gay Day," Ricky, no matter how much you protest to the contrary.

How come you're reading gay newspapers, anyway?

Dear Sir, I'm concerned that you do not realize that you are brainwashed. Check: You just equated a group of people that are recognized by their perverted sexual preferences, to people from a Baptist church. Please weigh this out in your mind and when the smoke clears and you begin to see the light you can respond.

Are their sexual preferences perverted? No doubt about it. Do they have the same rights as any other American to go to a ball game, including Baptists? Yes, they do.

My brain is clear -- you're the one whose not thinking clearly. You also demonstrated on the Scott Wilder show that you're not being completely honest.

Thanks for your concern though.

[Warden]

"Are their sexual preferences perverted? No doubt about it. Do they have the same rights as any other American to go to a ball game, including Baptists? Yes, they do."
(1.) Show your proof?
The Rangers are under NO legal obligation to sell tickets to any group that they choose not to. That is a misconception. They would not sell group tickets to NAMBLA (north american man boy love association). You need to read the information on the website before you comment on something that you have no idea of what you are talking about. Mark Davis said that we ProtestGayDay.com has successfully squelched the possibility that any other local major sports franchise might even consider the possibility of doing the same thing as the Rangers.

You just equated a group of people that are recognized by their perverted sexual preferences, to people from a Baptist church.

(1.) I never made a dime. To the contrary I spent over 0ne thousand dollars out of my pocket stopping the homosexuals from having their "gay day".
(2.) Our protest was victorious in stopping the homosexuals. If we had not protested through the press they would have had their day with one thousand homosexuals parading as people with normal sexual preferences.
If you want to sympathize with homosexuals and sleep in their bed I will let you know what to expect:

Let's see now, which half was I using that day?

Hehhehhhehhh, thanks. I just see so much of this today that it isn't hard to spot at all. Like #42, the Rangers want their cake and eat it too. Gosh I'd better be careful how I use those kind of words when talking about Clinton and gays in the same paragraph.

[strela]

How come you're reading gay newspapers, anyway?

Their tasteful layout? Artistic use of color?

[Warden]

This proves that all you are concerned with is poking fun at people. If you spent this time actually researching facts you would be reporting the same things I'm reporting.
My sister and law gave us tickets to the Tigers game for helping her move. I wanted to find out where the seats were. I was doing a search for the Texas Rangers website on Google. The listing came up that stated "TEXAS RANGERS TO HOLD GAY DAY". Of course I clicked on it to see what it was. It was the article in the Dallas Voice that gave detailed information implicating the Rangers initiation of the group ticket sale to the homosexuals. I sent an email to the Rangers and ask them if the article was true. To this day I have not gotten a straight answer to that question. Yes the ARTICLE is true, No the ARTICLE is not true. Mike Cramer did make it very clear to me that the Texas Rangers were not having "gay day" at the ballpark. I ask him him if the Rangers were going to make the Dallas Voice retract the statements and make the corrections? He said "no" that the Rangers would not ask them to do that. He then gave me this excuse which made me even angrier. He said that "if my church youth group was going to go to the Rangers game as a group, your church would print it in the church bullitin as youth day". He did exactly what so many of these ignorant people on this website are doing. He equated a group of people known for their perverted sexual preferences to my church youth group. That is an insult of my intellegence and toward my church youth group. They are not to be recognized the same. The mind of the average American perverted if they think the homosexuals are to be recognized as being the same type of group as a church youth group.
I have never said that I personally was a better person than any other person. So do not even go there. I've made it a point in all media formats to state clearly that I'm not a better person than anyone else. I know the depth of my wickedness. Whereas most people can't see that. The bible also says to let another mans lips esteem you. The Holy Bible and I esteem the church youth groups as much better that homosexual groups.
I never said that a homosexual should not be able to go watch a baseball game. I said that when a group of one thousand homosexuals attend any event where they are being recognized as a homosexual group, it becomes a political forum to advance the homosexual agenda. That is what ProtestGayDay.com opposses. Hence our slogan: ProtestGayDay.com Exists To Protect & Preserve Our Innocent Youth Against The Homosexual Agenda
If you do not see the simple truth in this then you are sympothizing with the homosexuals wheather you realize it or not. I pray the Lord would clear your head from whatever you allow to cloud your vision to be able to see simple 2+2 mathmatical truths. Mark Davis who is about as liberial of a conservative as you possibly can be was able to figure this one out. That should tell you something. If it does not and you cannot figure it out after all of this I will just pity your ramblings and girly name calling. I've got to battle against immorality on bigger fronts.

Pray the Lords Blessings,

He said that "if my church youth group was going to go to the Rangers game as a group, your church would print it in the church bullitin as youth day". He did exactly what so many of these ignorant people on this website are doing. He equated a group of people known for their perverted sexual preferences to my church youth group.

I love you brother, but THAT is some convoluted logic.

He did not equate your youth group to the gay group. What he did is equate the response that your youth group would have to the response that the gay group had.

As for battling immorality, He has already won that battle. We are called to be witnesses for Him, not prosecuters.

1 Thessalonians 1 BALANCING THE TWO SIDES OF SALT

TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 1:5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;

Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

Job 6:6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt?...

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let [i.e. restrain], until he be taken out of the way.

Proverbs 28:4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth...



THE GOSPELS:

John 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn

thee: go, and sin no more.

John 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy

husband: in that saidst thou truly.

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.



John 2:13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

John 7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his

own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.

Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

Amos 5:10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

Isaiah 29:21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.

2 Timothy 3:3 ...fierce, despisers of those that are good,

Jeremiah 11:6 Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. 7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. 8 Yet they obeyed not...

Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Matthew 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

Luke 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

Matthew 12:18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. 19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Matthew 15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you... 12 Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides... 17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Luke 13:32 And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox [king Herod], Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.

"Lest a popular controversy and public tumult should arise, every time He worked a miracle He bade the healed one conceal the fact in order that it might be fulfilled, 'A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench, till He sends forth judgment unto victory.' And here let me ask, Do not the last words of this passage imply that the smoking flax will be quenched and the bruised reeds will be broken when He shall 'send forth judgment unto victory'? Now is the season of His patience, but a day of His wrath is on the way. He refrained from overthrowing His antagonists in the days of His flesh, but in the time of His second coming He will break His foes in pieces with a rod of iron! He will dash them in pieces like potters’ vessels. There is a sense in which it must not only be admitted, but gloried in, that our Lord did both strive and cry, for spiritually He fought against sin even unto agony and blood. And with thrilling eloquence and plenteous tears He did cry out against evil and warn men to escape. He lifted up His voice like a trumpet and cried and spared not so that His persuasive voice was heard in the streets and throughout all the land His Gospel was made known. But the passage teaches us that while others were contentious for power, or, clamorous for gain and eager for notoriety, Jesus was not so. He raised no party, He fomented no strife, He sought no honor, He courted no popularity. He left the arena of this world’s contests to others - His was another field of conflict.... Never did our Lord bid His servants fight, for His kingdom was of another order. When, for once in His life, He rode in state as a king through the streets of Jerusalem, the shouting was only that of children who said, 'Hosanna' in the temple, and of a willing, peaceful company of disciples, whose only weapons were palm branches...." (C. H. Spurgeon)

Proverbs 1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof...

THE ACTS:

Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. 29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: 53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. 23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. 24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.

Acts 9:29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.

Acts 13:3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus: 7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. 13 ...and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

Acts 14:13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. 14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: 16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. 19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. 20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,

Acts 17:1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: 2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; 7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. 8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. 10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto

Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Acts 19:23 And the same time there arose no small stir about that way. 24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen; 25 Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth. 26 Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands: 27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. 28 And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 29 And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre. 30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.

Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 23:2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. 3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?



THE EPISTLES:

2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Titus 1:12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

Our protest was victorious in stopping the homosexuals. If we had not protested through the press they would have had their day with one thousand homosexuals parading as people with normal sexual preferences.

On the contrary, if the gays were desirous of confrontation, they would have had more than 200 people at the game, parading in spite of your puny turnout.

I have no sympathy for the gay lifestyle whatsoever.

At the same time, I have no use for Christian pastors who will lie to achieve their aims.

You're a liar, Mr. Warden, no less of a liar than Robert Tilton, and you used a legitimate venue (the Texas Rangers) to spew your bile.

A whitened sepulchre, IOW.
