President Obama is pushing the gay agenda, and our nation will be judged for it.
From One News Now:
Obama most 'gay'-friendly president in history
"Less than halfway through his first term, President Barack Obama has appointed more openly homosexual officials than any other president in history.
Homosexual activists say the estimate of more than 150 appointments so far -- from agency heads and commission members to policy officials and senior staffers -- surpasses the previous high of about 140 reached during two full terms under President Bill Clinton.
'From everything we hear from inside the administration, they wanted this to be part of their efforts at diversity,' said Denis Dison, spokesman for the Presidential Appointments Project of the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute. (See reaction from Concerned Women for America's Janice Crouse)
The pace of appointments has helped to ease broader disappointment among homosexuals that Obama has not acted more quickly on other fronts, such as ending the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy that bans homosexual men and women from serving openly in the military."
Read it all.
Since I'm discussing homosexuality, it seems like the perfect time to address what God says in His Word about the perverse lifestyle. And it turns out, that Jesus did indeed address the subject.
Read from Defend Proclaim the Faith:
[...]
"In an attempt to neutralize the Bible, homosexuals and their supporters claim Lord Jesus never mentioned or condemned homosexuality. In their thinking, because He did not use the word homosexuality, then it must not violate God's word. This argument is constantly used by homosexuals and their advocates.
(Does that remind you of anyone, Diogenes?)
It is true the Bible does not use the word homosexual or homosexuality; while it is not true the Lord Jesus never condemned the act. The word homosexual was not coined as a word until the late 1800s or just a little over 100 years ago. The word was first used in Germany and then picked up later in 1892 in the English dictionary. The King James Version could not use this word because it was translated 300 years before the word was coined in the English!
The Lord Jesus very clearly condemned homosexuality. He used the word for His day which would have identified the homosexual act. The New Testament uses the word fornication to identify homosexuality. Once it is understood the New Testament used this word to identify homosexuality, then it is clear that the Lord Jesus condemned it.
The Book of Jude ties together homosexuality with the word fornication. The homosexuality of Sodom and Gomorrha was identified as fornication. The Bible warns that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha was an example to those who would practice this same fornication.
Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
The Greek word for fornication is ekporneuo, and it means to be utterly unchaste. It is the Greek word from which English derives the word pornography. A person who is utterly unchaste would have continuously unclean thoughts. That is why pornography is so dangerous because it can completely control the mind and make ones thoughts unchaste.
The Bible then defines fornication as any sexual activity outside of marriage. It is an inclusive term. Remember, marriage is between one man and one woman. The definition of fornication would then include: heterosexual relations before marriage, homosexual relations at any time, incest, bestiality, prostitution and pornography. All sex outside of marriage is considered fornication by God.
With this understanding that the New Testament identifies homosexuality as fornication, let's look and see what the Lord Jesus said about it. The Lord said that what comes forth from the spiritual heart of a man defiles him. Sin originates from the heart and then proceeds to action. Fornication is one of the sins that He listed which defiles a man.
Sin first originates in the heart, then is dwelt upon in the mind and then acted upon by the will. The Lord Jesus said that the act of fornication defiles a man. Fornication is lumped with the evils of murder, thefts, lying, etc. Both the books of Matthew and Mark record the Lord Jesus condemning fornication. He clearly addressed homosexuality and how evil it is. These Scriptures follow:
Mark 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. (21) For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, (22) Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: (23) All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. (19) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: (20) These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
The New Testament has more to say about fornication than just the Lord Jesus' statements that it comes from the evil of man's heart. In Scripture after Scripture, the Bible warns about the sin of fornication. The Bible in several places lists fornication with many other sins. These sins would include: adultery, idolatry, drunkenness, witchcraft, hatred, heresies and the list goes on and on. The sin of fornication/homosexuality is always listed with these other sins. In fact, fornication is usually one of the first sins listed. These Scriptures follow:
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness … and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Ephesians 5:3-7 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints … For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Colossians 3:4-6 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
All the above Scriptures give a severe warning to those who practice fornication/homosexuality and the other listed sins. Each section of Scripture states the wrath of God will come upon those who practice fornication and they will not inherit the kingdom of God . The Bible leaves no doubt that homosexuality is unacceptable to God. These verses first condemn homosexuality and then gives a stern warning to those that commit this act.
[...]
Supporting the homosexual agenda shows a deep rebellion against God and classifies that person as a reprobate. To God there is no difference between an active homosexual and a heterosexual who condones this act. They both are linked to the reprobate mind. This means the American society is loaded with reprobates. They are clergy, politicians, judges and college professors. They are news analysts and Hollywood stars."
Much more here.
But, the good news is that Jesus loves homosexuals and their advocates, just not their sin. However, because He is a holy God, this sin, as well as other sin, keeps us from eternity in Heaven with him, unless, and this is the key part, we repent of our sin and ask Him to be our Savior. Then, He opens his arms and welcomes us into His kingdom and we become children of God, with our sins washed clean in His precious blood, never to be remembered again. Hallelujah! This opportunity is as available to homosexuals as it is to heterosexuals.

Wow! I hope you didn't strain anything, twisting and turning into such contortions!
Yea, fornication includes homosexuality. But as you point out, it really refers to any kind of sex outside marriage.
Are you willing to condemn EVERYBODY who meets that definition in the exact same way that you condemn homosexuals?
They can't openly serve in the military?
They can't adopt kids?
They can't get married??
They're hounded in society, at virtually every turn, by Religious Rightwingnuts?
IS MORELIES A REPROBATE?
You will do or say ANYTHING to advance your ultrarightwingnut agenda.
Wrong, Diogenes! My goal is to honor the Word of God because I once was a reprobate. But God so mercifully forgave me of all my numerous sins. I would like others to see the freedom which comes through knowing Christ and the joy of knowing my sins are forgiven when I did not deserve such mercy.
My intention is not to condemn anyone, but instead to show them the truth. You think you are a friend to gays by encouraging them in their perversion and reasoning it to be acceptable when God's Word clearly says it is not. Gays are heading to the edge of a cliff, and you are cheering them on, whereas I am trying to show them the error of their ways and how to get back on course. So, who's truly looking out for the best interest of gays?
Your suggestion for these bans bans for heterosexuals is ridiculous. Sex beween a man and woman is God's plan, just within marriage. Same gender sex is NEVER acceptable in God's eyes.
You are just going off topic because I proved that Jesus spoke out against homosexuality.
You didn't prove crap, MoreLies. You're lying, yet again.
And save all your putrid patronizing "I'm just trying to save these poor sinners from themselves" manure. You always say it, but all anybody has to do is watch what you post, and you become transparent as hell. You want gays eradicated as an affront to Religious Rightwingnut Amerika. You want them stomped on, just the way that Rand Paul official stomped on the woman at the KY debates earlier this week. (Funny how you never posted a story on THAT, huh?)
If fornication includes homosexuality (which I agree it does) and you use that as the basis for discrimination against homosexuals (which you do) then you ought to treat ALL fornicators in exactly the same way. ANYBODY who is a "fornicator"(which is anybody and everybody that has sex outside of marriage) should be treated the same way: second-class citizenship in your Amerika.
But you won't do that, will you? You Religious Rightwingnuts are more than willing to cut heterosexual fornicators a break, but slam the homosexual fornicators with all sorts of abuse.
The word is "H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E", MoreLies. Have "Dictionary Boy" a.k.a. AnonyMouse look it up for you, and you'll see your picture.
Actually, Diogenes, I did prove something. You said Jesus never addressed the subject of homosexuality. I showed you that he did.
You are right in that the Bible does condemn heterosexual sex outside marriage. But, what you forget is the story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah because of perversion.
I do not want America judged for acceptance of homosexuality. If our nation and our children weren't affected by this, I could care less what gays do behind closed doors.
So, you so what you always do--attack me personally. You are a great student of Alinsky--the guy who dedicated his book to Satan. What kind of Christian would read a book dedicated to the devil and then brag about it? You are truly in deception.
And, yet again, why do you single out homosexuals for your abuse, MoreLies? Why not ALL fornicators?
Answer: because it doesn't fit your agenda.
Your tap dance routine is pretty stale.
Jesus did not single out homosexuality for special abuse.
Why do you?
Tou say "I do not want America judged for acceptance of homosexuality."
What about all the other forms of fornication? Won't America be equally judged for acceptance of sex outside marriage? Won't America be equally judged because of fornicators like Ted Haggard, Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggert? David Vitter, Jon Ensign, John McCain, Newt Gingrich?
You also say "If our nation and our children weren't affected by this, I could care less what gays do behind closed doors."
Are you suggesting that Jesus said fornication was OK, as long as you do it behind closed doors??? I missed that in my copy of the Bible!
If you're suggesting that Jesus' blanket condemnation of fornication somehow justifies your horribly un-Christian (mis)treatment of gays, then you HAVE to similarly mistreat any and all fornicators.
And you won't.
You know you won't. You can't.
But, if you admit that, you'll either be identified as someone who disregards Scripture. Or someone who'stalking out of their butthole, misusing Scripture to rationalize your horribly judgmental attitude about homosexuals.
Fraud.
For starters, I do not mistreat gays, nor do I support any mistreatment of them. I just do not condone their lifestyle or want their agenda jammed down my throat.
Nor do I condone heterosexual immorality. I choose not to watch immorality between heterosexuals on TV or at the movies because I find it offensive.
God is indeed judging America for its immorality of all types: heterosexual, homosexual, and pornography. Add to that abortion, tossing God out of our country, and harsh treatment of Israel. We are definitely in big trouble.
Speaking of abortion, you somehow "forgot" to comment on how the leftist media refuses to inform women about the link between abortion and breast cancer.
But, it was homosexuality which led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Apparently, it was singled out. That should tell us something about what God thinks about it.
Well, it might tell you what your god thinks. I kind of stick with Jesus as my guide, and He's a lot more compassionate than you seem to be.
As for the supposed link between breast cancer and abortion, I've read a few articles about it, and they universally claimed that there is no such link, that it's absolutely false data promulgated by the anti-choice crowd. But I don't know enough about it, one way or another, to comment. (Unlike you, if I don't really know much about a subject, I tend to stay quiet.)
Still waiting on that commentary about the Paul supporter stomping the woman's head.... should I hold my breath? LMAO
DiogenASS: the moveon activist attacked Ron Paul in his vehicle with her sign, thumbsucker!
http://www.infowars.com/new-video-shows-moveon-activist-attempted-to-assault-rand-paul/
She is lucky, if that would have been obama in the vehicle, I'm sure she would have received more than a few bruises.
No, Diogenes, I did not write about the altercation you referred to. The woman was a thug herself, but nevertheless, it shouldn't have happened. Nor did I write about the angry liberal trying to choke a conservative. You libs are an angry lot, and always outnumber us with your violence.
http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/10/unhinged-moveon-org-choker-admits-he-needs-better-self-control/
Yea, you rightwingnuts have an answer to everything,don't you? Awoman pushes a sign towards a car window, so she's wrestled to the ground. OK, I can MAYBE see that. But the Paul thug then putting his foot on the back of her head/neck and shoving her face into the concrete? Bullshit: another example of rightwingnuts thinking they can do whatever they want. Even their own guy reached towards the girl and admonished the thug for stomping on her that way.
But it's all OK in your book. If you can't beat liberals with your words (which you can't) you just kick the shit out of 'em. That'll learn 'em good!
(That's your cue, JustaDumbass,for flexing your nonexistent muscles.Preen, baby, preen!)
DiogenASS: if she didn't incite the incident, there wouldn’t have been any problems, now would there, thumbsucker?
Don’t start no shit, there won't be no shit, bitch!
Yeah, that's the same line of reasoning that allows morons like you to claim that rape victims "ask for it" by their clothing.
The Paul buffoon is allowed to use reasnable force to restrain her. Stepping on her head & neck and shoving her into the concrete is NOT reasonable... except in the Teabagger handbook.
We've got freedom of speech in this country, unless you protest against a Teabagger. THEN, "anything goes".
Don't like a protester in Kentucky? Throw them down and step on their head.
Don't like a reporter in Alaska? Have your securiy guards "arrest" him.
Don't like reporters asking you question in Nevada? Ban all reporters from your campaign events, and only talk to Sean Manatee on Faux Noise to plug your campaign contribution website.
DiogenASS: Have you ever been raped? It sounds like your speaking from experience.
Security can use any force necessary to protect a politician, even deadly force if the intended target is in imminent danger of being harmed or killed!
She barely got a scratch, go peddle your sob story somewhere else, you’re boring!
Uhhh, AnonyMouse? Let me say this as politely as I can: you have NO CLUE what you're talking about.
There was no credible threat to Pauls' safety.
Even if there were, that threat was ended when the girl was tossed onto the sidewalk.
The guy that stomped on her head AFTER she was thrown onto the sidewalk wasn't "security". He was a redneck volunteer who thought he had a free shot at some Yankee hippie chick.
And the report I read said she waas treated at the hospital for a concussion... a little more than a scratch.
And no, I haven't been raped... I've never personally met you, AnonyMouse. Nor do I ever care to.
DiogenASS: are you trying to convince yourself that a sign connected to a stick can't put someone’s eye out?
You are truly dumb as a rock!
Her sign was in her hand... kind of like your privates.
Why don't you find out what you're talking about? AnonyMouse, this one's for you:
'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
DiogenASS: watch the whole video when she sticks the sign in Paul’s window.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2010/10/tim-profitt-kentucky-head-stomper-rand-paul.html
Not just the leftwing medias cut version and propaganda!
That’s what’s wrong with thumbsuckers like you, you never get the whole picture, just the communist blinder versions.
Yeah, I looked at the whole video. Did you? Where's the stick? There is none -- except in your own overworked, overtaxed imagination. She was holding the opposite bottom corners of the sign with her bare hands.
AnonyMouse, you gotta cut tis out, for your own good. You make up plain old bullshit and then convince yourself you're seeing things that no one else sees. If you're not more careful, the black ops chopper is going to pick you up right after JustaDumbass, on their way to the asylum.
DiogenASS: you don't believe that someone with a cardboard sign could put out your eye?
You’re delusional, thumbsucker!
Truth is man and man clearly disdain Gods plan. Isn't it twisted how people call for civil rights for a pointless male and male relationship condem the fruit of the womb. See Satan and His children hate Gods design and so they seek to mock it. Homosexuality is the path of reprobates, as proven by those who engage in it and support it. Christians are persecuted, martyed around the world. Homosexuals don't know what suffering is. Now days Christian kids are bullied by proponents of the reprobate path.
God 's Word the Bible states That in the last days that which is right Shall be called wrong And that which is wrong Shall be called right. This is Satan 's way of confusing the truth To gain the upper hand. Not only is homosexuality Biological genocide It is also biologically confused and bad science. Homosexuality is no different from any other sin that so easily besets us. Accept the true Christ , the Christ of the Bible, Repent , Turn from the sinful lifestyle And stay within the boundaries That are meant to keep us safe.
