I received this first-hand description of events that happened in San Francisco this past Friday night from a member of a Christian prayer group Justice House of Prayer-San Francisco. Please note there are some graphic descriptions in the email, but you can read most of it and skip the graphic portion if you wish.
A link to the news report is included, which includes video footage. The 'tolerance' of the left and the homosexual agenda is clearly evident in their violent and reprehensible actions against this peaceful group.
It’s all happened before, just like the video.
Genesis 19:1-13
In addition to what I previously stated....
If you feel led of the LORD to return to those streets...
GO ARMED! Jesus would not be opposed...
“Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.”
Luke 22:36
Hey, everyone...this situation didn’t happen to me. If you read the introductory comments, I noted this was emailed to me. I appreciate all your comments directed at my actions, but I wasn’t there—I’m just passing along the information.
As to your scriptures, craigmoss, see my posted reply and the Kierkegaard quote.
Blessings :-)
This whole thing of “get out of our neighborhood” is going to backfire on them big time. Look for more gays being assaulted when they venture into straight neighborhoods. Violence always begets violence and they are apparently too stupid to comprehend that FACT.
Do not use potty language - or references to potty language - on the Religion Forum.
Did you read my previous post?
I said that I think the church should be in those neighborhoods actually helping people. There are soup kitchens that Christians can serve food at. There are aids clinics that need help. There are lots of ways Christians can actually show Christian love to these people.
Christ actually helped people who were sinners. He was kind and compassionate to those he disagreed with.
Then why did He ask? Why didn't He just say "I forgive you?"

“He was kind and compassionate to those he disagreed with”
OK...
“Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?”
Luke 12:56
That sounds real compassionate.
If you will take the time to read,
Matthew 14:14, 15:32, 20:34, Mark 1:41, 5:19 & 6:34
You will find that the only people Jesus was recorded to have compassion for were those who came to him, not those who rejected him (They will spend eternity in the lake of fire, that’s not very compassionate)
If one will read the Bible one will begin to realize that the long haired soft spoken Jesus they are tickled with on Sunday mornings is not the Jesus of the Bible.
Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read...
Isaiah 34:16
Ask, and it shall be given you; “seek, and ye shall find”; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and “he that seeketh findeth”; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Quotations mine)
Matthew 7:7-8

It doesn't appear that the Castro district is awash in poverty:

Thank you for letting me know that about the mayor in San Francisco telling the two young men to take down the effigy and the arrests in Michigan. I seriously didn’t know that.
I live in Maine. I was reading comments on an article last week about clergy in Maine who support gay marriage. Another this week of our Catholic Bishop writing a letter on banning gay marriage in the state of Maine. If you go to the comments section and read the comments you find the disrespect that some of the gay community has for Christians and those who support the gay community against the christian people. There is something boiling in the pot and the cover is about to blow.
I believe we are all called to prayer. But I also believe we are called to action. We have to make sure that the police do their jobs. I don’t believe in violence but I do believe there is power in numbers. If we are silent, it will only get worse. We are to pray, witness, and we are called to action. That may mean contacting those we have elected and voicing our opinions on key issues that effect our families and communities.
California is known as a liberal state at least pockets of California. It just really surprised me the reaction I saw on the Bangor news comment section. Is this a glimpse of what is going on through out the rest of the country?
I am not sure who made this comment..”Immorality is un-American and a threat to National Security”. I believe that. I think we have it in our power now to take action before it’s too late. That quote may have been from Father Corapi and repeated by President Bush.
Sadly I was wondering the same thing. Wasn't it Billy Graham that said ( paraphrased)," If America isn't judged He'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah?" I was wondering what the crowd of people were doing outside Lot's home back in the early days.
I asked a person what "Stop the breeders" meant and got severe verbal abuse two days ago. Nothing worse than being naive when it comes to homosexual words and phrases I can't keep up with( I was near a march in the town of Eureka, California and heard the phrase yelled out) Yesterday in church a person clued me in on the phrase. The hatred and anarchy is revealing.
Notice how the homosexual biggot radicals react. Their first response is to put up a blockade to prevent views in contrast to their prefered sexual behavior.
This is like a petulant child screaming “la la la la la” when the do not want to hear the truth.
Wow.
I do like how the article says Prop 8 passed by a narrow margin, does that mean Obama won by a slim margin too?
One can only hope there obscene actions does more to harm the “gay marriage” movement than help it.
He did. Our Lord personally forgave sins on serveral occasions noted in Scripture. He did this to show that He was God, with the right to forgive sin.
However, He was also a Man, and on some occasions He did things as a man -- as an example to us. By asking His Father to forgive those who were killing Him, He showed us how we were to treat our enemies.
And that whole "let he who has no sword, let him sell his cloak..." thingy?
Our Lord was no pacifist. He was friends with many people who bore arms, from Roman soldiers to Temple guards to zealots. He never condemned military service, nor did He rebuke any military man on the basis of his profession. In fact, He Himself used violence against other people on more than one occasion.
However, it is important to note that Our Lord never used violence in self-defense, nor did He allow Peter to use the sword to defend Him. Instead, the Creator of the Universe meekly allowed His own creatures to torture and kill Him.
The problem isn’t violence. Violence can be a good and holy thing. The problem is hatred — the act of thinking of one’s enemy as being less than human. Our Lord never hated anybody, and we are to follow His example. We may licitly use violence, and even kill, if our duty to defend nation, the public peace, or innocent life from an aggressor demands it — but we must never allow ourselves to hate our enemies.
