The Homosexual Agenda is a Spiritual Problem

One homosexual judge overturned the votes of 7 million California voters! What could be more unfair, undemocratic, unconstitutional and outrageously biased against the state of California, biased against the majority of voters in our state, and radically disparaging against our Constitutional Republic than that?

Christian News Wire:

Chief Judge of Federal District Court in San Francisco Vaughn R. Walker Overturns Proposition 8
Contact: Karen England, Capitol Resource Institute, 916-212-5607

MEDIA ADVISORY, Aug. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- Proposition 8, the 2008 California Constitutional amendment defining and recognizing marriage between a man and a woman, suffered a severe blow. Judge Walker ruled against the voters who approved Proposition 8 by 52 percent of the vote.

After California's Supreme Court overturned proposition 22, the statute approved by voters defining marriage, the voters took to the polls in reaction to the court's judicial activism.

"Today's ruling is indicative of an out-of-control judiciary willing to circumvent California's direct democracy by imposing their point of view," said Karen England Executive Director of Capitol Resource Institute (CRI). "Family values are under constant assault now more then ever. CRI was instrumental in passing proposition 22 in 2000 and we fought to get proposition 8 on the ballot and subsequently in California's Constitution. We will continue to battle interest groups who wish to redefine one of our oldest institutions; the institution of marriage. We will continue to represent the 7 million Californians who took to the polls in favor of marriage."

The case will head to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, a court popularly known for its left-of-center rulings.


Homosexuality isn't just a behavioral problem. It isn't just a "rights" problem. It isn't just a legal problem. It isn't just an emotional problem. It is a spiritual problem.

Even though the following essay was written years ago, Pastor DL Foster's Gay Christian Movement Watch: Gay Marriage - the Days of Noah Return post is one of the best I've ever read on the topic.

As you read the post at GCMWatch, you will notice a link between the "Days of Noah" and the "Days of Lot." This was an awesome discovery! Jesus himself likened the "signs of the times" of his return as being "as in the days of Lot" and "as in the days of Noah."

Excerpt:

Folger recounts how what we are seeing happen now before our very eyes is the beginning fulfillment of what Jesus said would happen before his return. Moreover, the people had sunken into such a perpetually degenerative moral condition these things were celebrated and viewed as normal.

As I wrote about in my book, “The Criminalization of Christianity,” Jeffrey Satinover, who holds an M.D. from Princeton and doctorates from Yale, MIT and Harvard, was on my radio program one day and I asked him about where we are in history. He explained that according to the “Babylonian Talmud” – the book of rabbis’ interpretation of the scriptures 1,000 years before Christ, there was only one time in history that reflects where we are right now. There was only one time in history, according to these writings, where men were given in marriage to men, and women given in marriage to women.

Want to venture a guess as to when? No, it wasn’t in Sodom and Gomorrah, although that was my guess. Homosexuality was rampant there, of course, but according to the Talmud, not homosexual “marriage.” What about ancient Greece? Rome? No. Babylon? No again. The one time in history when homosexual “marriage” was practiced was … during the days of Noah. And according to Satinover, that’s what the “Babylonian Talmud” attributes as the final straw that led to the Flood.


Folger’s article also contains astonishing commentary by Rabbi Aryeh Spero on what the Talmud reveals about homosexuality, state sanctioned homosexual weddings and the coming judgment of God.

25But first must He [Christ] suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man:
27They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30“Even thus shall it be in the Day when the Son of Man is revealed.


Notice that Jesus compared Noah’s day to Sodom and Gomorrah and then linked it to the time of his return.

Because the inhabitants of the earth had become so evil, God anointed Noah to preach righteousness and repentance right up until the time the door of the ark closed shut. He preached the same message for over 100 years. This was the mercy of God in action, a window of opportunity to repent. Some listened at first, but then overcome by the sin around them, eventually ignored Noah. Noah was openly vilified, mocked and called a liar. Why? Because the people saw no rain and they did not want to believe their activities were wrong.

One Ongoing Battle

Good and bad news about the ongoing (and seemingly never-ending) battle against homosexual indoctrination, continued lawsuits and the radical activists push for same-sex "marriage."

First, the bad news. Alliance Defense Fund has announced that there has been a class action lawsuit filed:

State Class Action Lawsuit Filed Challenging California Marriage Amendment

PR Newswire: “This lawsuit claims that section 7.5 of Article I violates the equal protection clause of the State Constitution. McCoy said, ‘we chose to bring this lawsuit in State Court rather than in Federal Court because sexual orientation is a protected class under California State Law and it is not recognized in Federal Law.’”

The complaint: Burns v. State of California


However, as the following comment tells us, this might be a blessing in disguise:

Karen Grube
Posted June 28, 2009 at 9:09 am
I love it! This would be a terrific opportunity to blow the lid off of the concept that sexual orientation should be a protected class at all. I would challed this law firm to prove there is any real way to measure or determine one’s sexual orientation the way there is one’s race, gender, or age. There is no DNA test, no ‘gay gene’ to prove one’s sexual orientation. We could prove, in court, that it is simply a lifestyle choice! How cool would that be? I’m serious. This could be the perfect venue to repeal the so-called sexual orientation protections that currently exist in California state law. Oh, and besides that, I would challege it on the basis that having such protections violates federal law, since federal law doesn’t recognize such protections. This could be terrific! Use this as the opportunity to PROVE people don’t get special protections for their lifestyle choices! That would be wonderful!


Karen Grube makes some excellent points! Why is an aberrant behavior being given protections in California state law that are not recognized in federal law? Should people get special protections (read: over and above the protections of those who do not participate in such behaviors??) for their lifestyle choices?

This is exactly why the "hate crimes" legislation currently being debated in Congress must not pass! Not only would there be special protections for an aberrant sexual deviancy, but there would be SPECIAL PUNISHMENT(S) FOR THOUGHTS OF THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR IS A SEXUAL DEVIANCY!

On the good news front, Pastor DL Foster has launched his new Gay Christian Movement Watch website!

America's Complaisance With Evil

My day turned out to be busier than I had expected. I had originally planned to post a comment from a previous post, expand upon it with some of my own thoughts, and then post a portion from Dr. David Jeremiah's book "What In The World Is Going On? - 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford to Ignore."

Tonight, at least I can get started on the post. I plan to add more over the weekend.

Here is a copy of the comment from "Anonymous" that was posted in response to the "Holder is the Coward" post:

What was discussed at a closed session of the U.S. House of Representatives?


Tuesday March 25, 2008 7:37pm EST

BRISBANE, Australia - The House has held a closed session for the first time in 25 years and apparently discussed a hotly contested surveillance bill.

Republicans had requested privacy for what they termed "an honest debate" on the new Democratic eavesdropping measure.

Conspiracy theorists around the world have filled many pages of blogs and emails with theories as to why the public was prevented to hear what their elected representatives said and heard.

That is the nature of secrets: those "kept in the dark" want to know and in the absence of knowledge, seek answers.

Writers suggested that the special closed session of the U.S. House of Representatives discussed a lot more than the pending security surveillance provisions.

Last week's session was only the fourth time in 176 years that Congress has closed it's doors to the public.

Word has begun leaking from last weeks special, closed-door session of the United States House of Representatives.

Theorists wrote "Not only did members discuss new surveillance provisions as was the publicly stated reason for the closed door session, they also discussed: The imminent collapse of the U.S. economy to occur by September 2008, the imminent collapse of US federal government finances by February 2009, the possibility of Civil War inside the USA as a result of the collapse and advance round-ups of "insurgent U.S. citizens" likely to move against the government.

Also theorised was the detention of those rounded-up at "REX 84" camps constructed throughout the USA and the possibility of retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses and the location of "safe facilities" for members of Congress and their families to reside during expected massive civil unrest

Other answers included "the necessary and unavoidable merger of the United States with Canada" (for its natural resources) and with Mexico (for its cheap labor pool), the issuance of a new currency - THE AMERO - for all three nations as the proposed solution to the coming economic Armageddon.

Members of Congress were FORBIDDEN to reveal what was discussed and ABC News via WCPO web site at the link below CONFIRMS congress members were FORBIDDEN to talk about it!

Several are so furious and concerned about the future of the country, they have begun leaking info. Also,reported in Financial Sense article---- part of article here:
ECONOMIC COLLAPSE IN SEPTEMBER?
by Clif Droke
May 19, 2008

A rumor is swirling around the Internet that an inglorious end to the U.S. economy is imminent. Unlike previous rumors to this effect, this one carries the weight of recent events in the financial realm and has many believing the rumor will come to pass.

Let’s examine some of the claims being made: On March 18, 2008, a “closed door” session of Congress was held for only the fourth time in history. According to House Rule XVII, clause 9, it is forbidden for members of the U.S. House of Representatives to reveal the discussions held behind those doors. The penalty for leaking such information includes loss of seniority, fines, reprimand, censure or expulsion. According to news sources, one purpose of the meetings was to discuss new surveillance techniques to be used by U.S. Homeland Security. Rumors continue to swirl as to what the other topics of discussion took place in that meeting.

According to the Australia.TO newspaper, as reported in the May 2008 Last Trumpet Newsletter (LTM), several congressmen were so incensed about what was discussed behind those doors that they were compelled to leak the contents of the meeting. Following is what is rumored to have been discussed: Imminent collapse of the U.S. economy by September 2008; imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances by February 2009; possibility of civil war within the U.S. resulting from the collapse; detainment of “insurgent U.S. citizens” in anticipation of their moving against the government; the potential for violent action taken by citizens against members of Congress due to the collapses; the merger of the U.S. economy with those of Canada and Mexico as a solution to the collapse; the introduction of a new tri-national currency called the “AMERO” as another economic solution. And the LTN report of it here: MAY 2008

On the 13th day of March 2008, a rare "closed door" session was held by the United States House of Representatives. It was only the fourth time in the history of the United States that the House of Representatives closed the doors and met in absolute secrecy. Thus, those who were elected to represent the people of the United States would not allow the people to know what they were meeting about. Furthermore, House Rule XVII, clause 9, forbids the Representatives from revealing what was discussed. The penalty for leaking such information includes loss of seniority, fine, reprimand, censure, or expulsion! What went on behind those closed doors where every member was sworn to absolute secrecy, to always conceal and never reveal? We know that the only reason for secrecy is to hide evil. The news media said almost nothing about the secret conclave, but it was mentioned only that one of the items being discussed was the new surveillance techniques that are going to used by the U.S. Government to watch every American. (19)

After diligently searching for more information, I finally found what I was looking for in an Australian newspaper. The story appeared in Australia.TO from Brisbane, Australia. The article stated that ABC News via WCPO confirmed that Congress members were forbidden to talk about what went on in their secret meeting. Several of the Representatives, however, were so furious and concerned about the future of the country that they began leaking info. Here are some of the things that were reportedly leaked out regarding the secret meeting: Discussion regarding the imminent collapse of the U.S. economy to occur by September 2008 - The imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances by February 2009 - The possibility of Civil War inside the United States as a result of the collapse - The advance round-ups of "insurgent U.S. citizens" likely to move against the government - The detention of those rounded up at REX 84 camps constructed throughout the United States - The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses - The location of safe facilities for members of Congress and their families to reside during massive civil unrest - the necessary and unavoidable merger of the United States with Canada and Mexico - The issuance of a new currency called the AMERO for all three nations as an economic solution. (20) Obviously, there is no documentary proof for the above as the meetings were secret. The information, however, does fit the profile of what is going on around us. Our Almighty Saviour is ultimately in charge. Time will tell if these things are so, and time is running out! NOTE: 2-14-09 1.The economy did collapse in Sept.2008,and to prevent chaos a "Bailout" of $750billion dollars was forced on Congress under threat of Martial Law and was passed.It has failed and it is a projected $8.5 Trillion Bailout to date.The people flooded their Reps with calls in opposition 1,000 to 1 against it,but it was passed.2.On Feb.13th,2009,a "stimulus" package of $787.5 Billion was passed without one person reading it.This confirms the 2nd part of the leaked information above regarding bankruptcy of the government.At this date,regardless of what transpires in the next few months,it is clear that the information leaked about that Closed Door Senate Session was and is true.Since last September,2008 articles regarding a New World Order and possible civil war and Martial Law in the USA are now in the mainstream media.Already,we are seeing riots across the globe against governments that are collapsing and experiencing the same tyrannical abuse of its people as is taking place here.There is open talk of the NAU and Amero now.There's also open talk of a coming "generated crisis" in the USA before June 2009.Over 20 States in the USA are trying to pass laws on state sovereignty to protect its rights against the Federal government when Martial Law takes place.Gun sales have gone through the roof in the past six months.It appears that the Illuminati is going to crush the US economy and thus the world's stock markets to bring in the cashless society and NWO.

My initial response:


Christinewjc said...
I have heard about this "Illuminati" before. In the past, I just could not believe that it was plausible. In fact, I dismissed the hand sign that they were claiming was the "Illuminati New World Order" fellowship sign. It resembles the Texas Longhorns sports team(s) hand sign. There are photos of many U.S. leaders (including both former president Bushes and Bush 43's daughters) holding up their hands with that sign. Coincidence? I don't really know.

But now, with all that is happening in our government - where the usurper president and the Congress is going AGAINST what "We the People" are saying - causes me to think that there is something VERY SINISTER going on in our nation.

There is so much information to absorb, it can make the average person's head explode.

I have been aware of the "Alinsky method," the "Cloward-Piven method of orchestrated crisis," and how the media squelched a lot of the evil and negative information surrounding Obama to get him elected. Some of the people - not all, of course - were bamboozled into voting for this dangerous AND MOST PROBABLY - INELIGIBLE - man.

Who would have ever thought that such things would happen in the United States of America? Don't we have checks and balances to prevent such a takeover as this?

Anonymous @ February 19, 2009 10:24:00 PM PST, I don't know whether or not you read my previous post which contained the fact that a National Grand Jury (NGJ)is being formed. Since our three main branches of government have failed us (and are failing to adhere to the will of the people), the only recourse that we now have is for We the People to rise up and take action. I am hoping and praying that it doesn't lead to a civil war. It very well might reach the boiling point and happen. I hope that the formation of the NGJ will work and expel the neo-Marxists from our government for good!

Just yesterday, I thought it strange that Obama met with leaders in Canada. For what purpose? Could it have something to do with Anonymous' post here?

There is much more that I would like to share and discuss about Anonymous' post. Some may dismiss it as a wild and false conspiracy theory. Others may see that what was allegedly discussed in secret by Congress in May, 2008 as truth. Others may not know what to believe (include me in that category right now.) However, I don't see any reason why this can't be discussed with all viewpoints getting a hearing.

I am taking my dog for a walk. Then I will be back with a new blogment about Anonymous' post. I have much more to share (including a portion in Dr. David Jeremiah's book - What In The World Is Going On? - 10 Prophetic Clues You Cannot Afford to Ignore) that speaks about America's moral decay being the ultimate cause of America destroying itself in the last days. It's quite compelling reading so stay tuned.

Thanks, Anonymous, for your comment. I do have a few questions, though.

Since several Congress members back in May 2008 are not currently in office now, do you think that they are speaking out (anonymously, of course) to warn the people of what they had learned?

Also, since all of the new Republican and existing House members of the Congress voted against the recent StimuWASTE bill, were they all not privy to the secret information discussed in that special meeting? Or, did they go against the vote because they genuinely knew it was bad legislation? Did it not matter because it was known that the Republicans didn't have enough votes to prevent passage?

Three RINOS in the Senate are mostly responsible for this awful bill being passed. All three were in Congress back in May 2008. Is there a distinct connection here?

It is hard for me to believe that conservatives would let this happen in Congress. In the first StimuWASTE bill passage by the House, 11 NEW Democratic Congressmen (most considered as "blue dog" conservatives) voted AGAINST IT. Therefore, they were definitely not aware of the secret meeting in May 2008.

When the bill went back to the House, I think only 8 Democrats voted against it.

There are so many questions that need to be asked - with so few answers that are in any way satisfying. It makes me feel helpless as a U.S. Natural Born Citizen that the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to hear a case regarding Obama's ineligibility to be POTUS. It makes me feel unheard when I read that calls to Congress, urging them all to VOTE AGAINST the StimuWASTE bill were running 1,000 to 1 - yet - it was passed anyway. It makes me feel that I can't trust ANYONE in government anymore - especially when Cheney did not allow for objections when the Electoral votes for Obama were counted and cast in Congress.

The presidents (both Bush and now Obama) will not hear or listen to the people.

The Congress will not hear nor listen to the people.

The U.S. Supreme Court and several judges in states across the country will not hear nor listen to the people filing lawsuits.

Where does this leave us as a nation?

Be back soon to write the new blog post.

With both comments in mind, read what Dr. David Jeremiah wrote in Chapter 6 - Does America Have A Role In Prophecy?:

America Will Be Infected with Moral Decay


The average lifespan of all the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about two hundred years. During that two-century span, each of these nations progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; and from dependence back into bondage.35


Where are we right now in America? I think that during the election cycle, many Americans were living "in the midst of the apathy to dependence." Their apathy led to them falling for the hoax being spouted by Barack Hussein Obama - the "one" who repeated the phrases "change we can believe in" and "hope." Trouble is, his followers and voters didn't pay any attention to the man's past associations. Nor, did they see that the "change" he was presenting was a neo-Marxist bag of dependence and "nanny state" existence that the people thought would satisfy their every need. Instead, we are headed back into bondage - similar to the bondage we were under until we declared our independence from Britain.

Dr. Jeremiah continues:


At what point is America in this cycle? Popular blogger La Shawn Barber answered this question in an article titled, "America on the Decline." She wrote:

In The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, author Edward Gibbon discusses several reasons for the great civilization's demise, including the undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home and the decay of religion. America has been compared to the Roman Empire in secular and religious ways. Regardless of its ultimate legacy, America is a civilization on the decline. A couple of centuries from now (or sooner), someone will lament the loss of a once-great civilization that brought prosperity to the world and tried to make it safe for democracy. The glory that was the United States will lay in ruins, brought down not by terrorists but its own debauchery and complacency.36


Barber's analysis is right on the money with one exception: given the present situation in our world, another "couple of centuries" for America is not in the equation. Nevertheless, her analysis is perceptive, and she continues it by referencing an expert from decades past. In 1947, forward-looking sociologist Dr. Carle Zimmerman wrote a text called Family and Civilization. He identified eleven "symptoms of final decay" observable in the fall of both the Greek and Roman civilizations. See how many characterize our society:

1. No-fault divorce.

2. "Birth Dearth"; increased disrespect for parenthood and parents.

3. Meaningless marriage rites/ceremonies.

4. Defamation of past national heroes.

5. Acceptance of alternative marriage forms.

6. Widespread attitudes of feminism, narcissism, hedonism.

7. Propagation of anti family sentiment.

8. Acceptance of most forms of adultery.

9. Rebellious children.

10. Increased juvenile delinquency.

11. Common acceptance of all forms of sexual perversion. 37


Is it no surprise that we now have a usurper for a president who whole-heartedly accepts most of the items on that list? Articles have been written about Obama's narcissism. Obama has admitted (proudly) that he is a "feminist." His acceptance, promotion, and outright celebration of the radical homosexual agenda can be seen in his desire to change military policy to allow "gays to be who they are openly" rather than keeping a policy put into place by Bill Clinton that has worked quite well - the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. He has also appointed about a dozen openly homosexual people who push for the radical homosexual agenda in our nation to key positions in his administration.

Dr. Jeremiah continues:


One cannot read lists such as these and doubt that America is throwing away its treasured position as the most blessed nation ever on the face of the earth. Remember, as we noted earlier, God blessed this country for a reason: our nation was founded on submission to Him. But now as the reasons for His blessings upon America are eroding, we can expect the blessings themselves to fade as well. It's a simple matter of cause and effect: remove the cause, and the effect ceases. Once, we invited God into our nation. From the first moments of our existence, we opened our national doors to Him and made Him welcome as our most honored guest. But now our culture seems bent on shutting Him out, as author Mike Evans laments:

Most can remember the classic painting of Jesus standing outside a door waiting to be allowed entry. That poignant portrayal of Christ on the outside, wanting to fellowship with His creation, has never been more powerful than it is today. Prayer has been excised from schools, suits have been filed to force Congress to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance, displays of the Ten Commandments have been removed from public buildings, and the motto, "In God We Trust," is in danger of extinction. Teachers have been forbidden even to carry a personal Bible in view of students, Christian literature has been removed from library shelves, religious Christmas carols have been banned from school programs, and "spring break" has replaced Easter vacation.38


Almost six decades ago, former president Herbert Hoover wrote a warning that I fear America has not heeded. After calling attention to several new programs and concepts, including "New Freedom" and "New Religion," Hoover stated, "We have overworked the word 'new'...The practical thing we can do, if we want to make the world over, is to try out the word 'Old' for a while. There are some 'old' things that made this country...Some old things are slipping badly in American life and if they slip too far, the lights will go out of America!"


Hoover's unheeded words of warning can be seen as practically prophetic today! Start making a list of "things that are slipping badly - and way too far" in our nation today. How long is your list?

Dr. Jeremiah continues:


Among the old things he listed: "Old Virtues of religious faith, integrity and whole truth...honor in public office, economy in government, individual liberty...willingness to sacrifice...Our greatest danger is not from invasion by foreign armies. Our dangers are that we may commit suicide from within by complaisance with evil."39


Make a list of the things you have seen that fall under the category of "complaisance with evil." How long is that list?

Dr. Jeremiah:


It saddens me to say it, but I believe the signs make it certain that America is now infected with the deadly disease of moral decay. And as that infection eats away at our foundations, we can expect the law of cause and effect to come into play. Scripture often warns us that even a long-suffering God will not forever strive with men. If we ignore divine directives, we cannot expect God's blessing. A limb that cuts itself off from the trunk will not continue to live.


Note that Dr. Jeremiah speaks of "divine directives." He stresses that as Christian believers, we are not to ignore them.

I truly believe that many Christians (like Stephen Pidgeon of the Alliance Defense Fund, for example) are following a divine directive in their lives - trying to do what is right because God's word informs us - "because the days are evil." We are to not only wait for Jesus to return and rescue the faithful from a world that we don't belong in, but we are also supposed to be busy watching and working - doing the will of our Father in heaven all the days of our lives - to fulfill His purposes in our world.

Jesus warned us, "In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! For I have overcome the world."

He was telling us that we will experience longsuffering while on this earth. We may even face dreadful times. It will be natural to experience discomfort in this world because we are "not of this world" anyway! Our real home is our eternal home with Christ in eternity. Meanwhile, despite our uneasiness as the signs of the end times become more and more apparent, we can still have confidence in such events because we know that they have been put in play by our Lord - the Creator of the universe!

Dr. Jeremiah puts it this way:


He (God) knows the end from the beginning, and because we are His friends, He is letting us in on the eternal secrets of His determined will.

[O]ur trust has never been in governments, civilizations, or cultures. By the standards of eternity, these institutions last but a moment, crumbling into dust to be swept away by the winds of history. They are helpful while they are here, but they have never been worthy of our trust. We have always put our trust in the One who stands above institutions, above history, and even above time itself - the One by whose power and permission these things exist, and who knows their times and the ends of their days. Only He is worthy of our ultimate allegiance.
That person is the only One - our Savior, Lord and King - Jesus Christ!

Update 2/21/09:

People are VERY ANGRY about the StimuWASTE Porkulus bill! Take a look at this article and the over 2,700 comments!

My comment there:

Wow! There are A LOT of angry people out there. I only glanced through the last few comments, but it appears that most are absolutely furious about this StimuWASTE bill.

Once people begin to connect the dots to see what got us in this mess, anger will turn into action (I hope). Those who ignored Obama's terrible associations with criminal and corrupt "advisors" - some of whom are now in his corrupt, income tax evading administration - did not heed the dire warnings that conservatives were making through the entire election process. Those who voted for Obamafraud, and those who previously voted in PeLIARsi and ReiDISASTER are now seeing how absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It is amazing to hear such a hypocritical statement coming from Barack Obama. Of course, he and other pro-death-to-babies-in-the-womb advocates never include the pre-born in such statements.

I was reading a newsletter from Coral Ridge Ministries. Here is a portion of what was written about FOCA:


Any passage of a FOCA bill would supersede Roe v. Wade. The radical and far-reaching measure would essentially enshrine a "woman's right to choose" into federal law.

Sen. Boxer wouldn't mind if that happened. The CA senator was the most recent legislator to introduce a FOCA bill in Congress. She once called a woman's right to choose a "fundamental right." But during his lifetime, Dr. D. James Kennedy took exception to that point.

A woman's right to choose "is a very interesting concept. It is an aborted sentence. It ends rational discussion; it is an emotional declaration; it is a sentence without a predicate," Dr. Kennedy once said. "Obviously, a moment's reflection would indicate that a person does not have an unlimited right to choose anything he wants to do (including killing someone)."


I can't help but think of what Jesus said about little children - and those who would do harm to them (no less kill them before they are born!):

Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Mar 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

Luk 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Update: Apparently, Obama tried to lecture people at the National Prayer Breakfast. With his typical foot-in-mouth manner, Obama moronically pontificates, "all religions teach people to love" and "...there is no religion whose central tenet is hate."

Really?

GateWay Pundit states: Obama forgets about his vile church and radical Islam!

What is Ahead for America?

The title of this post is a question on many minds as we are about to witness the inauguration of the 44th president. I had sincerely hoped that it would have been ANYONE other than Barack Hussein Obama. I had sincerely hoped that one of the lawsuits against Obama to prove whether or not he has met the "natural born citizen" requirement for POTUS in Article II Section 1 of our United States Constitution would have been resolved by now. However, with the courts being closed this coming Monday and Tuesday, any decisions or hearing looming on the horizon will not be completed until after January 20th. It appears that only an act of God could change the course of this liberal licientious, Marxist socialist from taking office.

Early this morning, I found an absolutely awesome biblically based Christian website! It is called American Prophet.org. If you will notice, I have made it my "website of the week" and the link can be found at the top of this page in my sidebar. I would encourage everyone to go to that link check it out.

There are so many excellent articles at the site! It was difficult to choose just one for this post. However, I have settled on the one entitled, "Prophecy 2009 – What is Ahead for America" by Rev M. Bresciani.

The following is Rev. M. Bresciani's essay in its entirety:

Quote:

This article was birthed December 16, 2008 the day after the Electoral College cast their votes making Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States. I felt compelled and duty bound to say these things to anyone who has ears to hear. I have no doubt not many will listen but I also know that as each year passes I will gain hearers exponentially.

Although Obama isn’t the only key figure to watch, his presidency will set the stage for hundreds of events that will shake America. A shaking I generally predict will be the worst period in our entire history as a nation. He managed to skip over the eligibility question and has entered his administration with doubt hanging over it and its constitutionality. At this moment not many people care about that.

My first prediction is that those who have questioned his eligibility as a natural born citizen will not stop trying to uncover the truth at any time during his presidency. My second forecast is that a growing number of people who once supported Barack Obama will join that investigation in time. When the honeymoon period is over the truth may then come out, that will be one of the most confusing days America will ever be asked to face.

For the first part of 2009 it will be like a circle of happy children dancing around the Maypole with everyone in blithe anticipation for the next move Obama makes. In 2010 the tables will shift and by the end of his first term he will lose over half of his original support.

I can safely say not as a prediction but as a prophetic surety that his administration will not end without the greatest economic downturn in our history as a nation. In the end it will make the stock market crash of 1929 look like a boom time.

Trusted financial institutions will fold like a house of cards and the Fed will be helpless to save them. Consumer goods will start to disappear and gasoline will be the least of our problems. These things will begin in late 2009 and will take a few years to unfold entirely.

Those who hold a Jeffersonian or Deistic view of God, agnostics and atheists will always doubt that God exists or if he does that he bothers to intervene in the affairs of men. Here is America’s biggest mistake. God not only does guide every detail of history but he does not need a mighty nation to bring down a reprobate people. They are bringing themselves down.

Why would God diminish the economy? The answer is almost too easy. Firstly it is because our securities are what we all hold dear. The economy is always the talk of the nation and morality, abortion, the gay agenda and all else are made to take a back seat to the revered matter of Americas fiscal well being. When all the warnings have been ignored; judgment strikes at the very heart of a nation. Sadly most Americans today are convinced that the economy is the heart of the nation. I can safely say it is not nor has it ever been

Secondly it might serve well to grab a calculator and sit down for some quick math. The reason most often heard for an abortion in this nation is so the child will not be brought into a situation where the support may not exist. President Elect Obama is basing his promise to make abortion available to anyone at any time during their pregnancy as a first act in office on this notion. If he does a double term of eight years another twelve million babies will be aborted during his administration.

Add to the twelve million the fifty million already aborted at the rate of 4,000 per day since 1973 and you have a grand total of 62,000,000 human lives snuffed out to save a buck for moms who don’t think they can find the dough. Now let’s get out the calculators. The average cost of raising a child for a single parent in the U.S. from birth to four years in a public college is $190,000. Multiply that times sixty two million and the amount totals over twelve trillion dollars.

We talk about the national debt but no one thinks we are indebted to God. In fact we are. Economic collapse; yes about twelve trillion dollars worth. That is exactly what I predict the interest notwithstanding.

Wishy washy Christianity will also rack up a few deficits. This church that finds nothing more to preach about than earthly prosperity is a ragged bunch of spiritually starving positive thinkers who have become the greatest negative example of discipleship in American history. Jesus is about to spit the lukewarm water out of his mouth. Rev 3:16

Christian ministries will not only suffer from their own apostasy but major house bills and social trends will squeeze the true church to the point of open persecution. Conservative Christian organizations like ADF one of America’s top defenders of our rights and the rights of Christians and Churches started a 2009 budget projection at $8,000,000, compare that to the ACLUs $220,000,000 projection and you’ll get the picture.

You will see dozens of multilateral decisions made by this administration that will erode the sovereignty of the United States. The solid base of support for Israel will also begin to suffer.

Not once in my entire life have I ever so much as even guessed at whom in our world could be the Antichrist or the False Prophet described by the prophets of old and the book of Revelation. During the meteoric rise of Barack Obama I first began to think he may be the False Prophet who aids the rise of the EU ruler we will all come to know as the Antichrist. I am still watching that and I am not ashamed to say that it looks like more of a possibility with each passing day.

It should be noted that regardless of exactly who Antichrist or the False Prophet turns out to be the stage must be set first. Only the blind could not see that the stage is already set. Secular liberalism is a worldwide phenomenon that has reared its head with the age being inundated with demonic forces (Rev 16:13) most of them will be readily received after being offered by the leaders of the last days world leaders.

With abortion, euthanasia and the gay agenda leading the way the judgments will come long before those waiting with bated breath can see the first man wander outside of our own solar system in a man made craft.

Those leading the world in the last days are all believers. No not believers in the gospel but believers in their own secular agenda. The blank committed stares and almost childlike impassioned rhetoric seen in Hitler, Stalin, Saddam and Osama Bin Laden are prime examples of believers. They are always convinced that what they are doing is right. They are always wrong. They become extremely dangerous when a majority of people start to believe them.

If that is so then it is only the bad news before the good news. I am sure that near the end of my life or shortly thereafter every promise of the second coming of Christ will be fulfilled and he will be standing in person in the city of Jerusalem only moments after the end of the battle of Armageddon. Every army in the world will be gathered in the plains of Esdraelon approximately 55 miles north of Jerusalem and will meet their doom in that valley.

My life is nearly over and while it may last just a little longer than you can hold your breath you may not want to start a 30 year retirement fund.

There is nothing new here for me I have been forecasting these things for over three decades the only difference now is that they are unfolding right before my eyes.

Many people think they should grab their things a huge supply of food and head for the mountains. They are merely looking for a door or a way out of it all. Is there a door and what is the way out?

I will let two passages spoken by Jesus Christ answer that question and my best advice is that you take them very seriously.

“I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” (Jn 10:9)

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.” (Mk 8:35)

Regardless of the details of prophetic events Christ is still the “door” by which you can change your eternal destiny and direction. This proclamation has seen its peak of public acceptance and is now waning in general acceptance but it is meant for only one individual at a time. It is my prayer at the beginning of 2009 that the person who heeds this warning will be you. /quote
