"I love you Pastor 'A'.
The two of you are such a Beautiful 'One'.
Most would say 'Couple', however the two of you are truly 'One'. This I know, for a fact.
Thanks, sis...and I will give him a big hug for you!!!Aw that's sweet.. Big hug for Pastor 'A' !
That's the deception of satan...makes people think that hell is fabulous...but just the look on this young man's face reveals that he has been taken over by a demonic spirit. So sad.....
Sis, that's the truth. That spirit is so present and it's so ominous.
Thanks, sis! We are truly 'One' that's for sure and I so appreciate you saying this...thank you
Thanks, sis...and I will give him a big hug for you!!!

Thanks for sharing this video. I always see kids supporting gay marriage in the media. It was a breath of fresh air to see this brave little girl speak about her mom and dad. Now if we can get more adults in front of these legislatures that would be a blessing.
Great Article on the Marriage March...
http://www.tfp.org/current-campaigns/traditional-marriage-crusade/march-for-marriage.html
Excerpt:
If the national media are to be believed, the two demonstrations should have been a classic clash of cultures. On one side—supposedly on the side of history, one would expect to find a numerous throng composed of “oppressed” racial and other minorities, civil rights activists and youth. On the other, expect to find an entrenched minority, the rich and the upscale establishment intent upon holding on to power.
This clash did not take place. In fact, anyone who approached the pro-family March for Marriage might conclude that this was the wrong march. Something was seriously wrong with the media script. It seems all the people the media say should be supporting same-sex marriage are on the pro-family side.
To begin with, just look at the numbers. The pro-marriage throng of well over five thousand clearly outnumbered the 500 or so same-sex “marriage” advocates that lined the sidewalk near the Supreme Court. The pro-homosexual tide that supposedly has turned did not turn up.
The next striking impression of the pro-marriage crowd was its diversity. There were huge numbers of African Americans who stood for marriage and felt insulted that some sought to equate marriage “equality” to civil rights. There were Hispanics and other ethnic “oppressed” minorities who came out in large numbers dispelling the idea that this bloc is a natural ally of the same-sex “marriage” crowd.
And the youth? Plenty of youths of all ages and races. Students, teenagers, boys, girls, infants all were well represented and gave a refreshing tone to the whole affair and indicating that traditional marriage has a future.
Mainstream America was also present as people from all over the country travelled incredible distances to be present. One could find families of all ages and people from all walks of life who felt the need to be present to defend marriage

If they were forced to perform the marriage they couldn't be forced to do a good job of it. Can you imagine a minister witnessing on and on about how biblically incorrect it is. I would not want someone presiding over my marriage who didn't want to be there.
I can't imagine anyone who would. when my DH and I were looking for someone to marry us, he spoke with a Chaplain on his Army Base. The guy acted like marrying us would inconvenience his life, because I was "mildly" pregnant lol. We just kept it moving and found a wonderful Minister willing to marry us.

The difference with this is that gays are viciously suing anyone who refuses to 'agree' with their lifestyle. They are purposely soliciting the services of those who do not agree with gay marriage and then attacking them with lawsuits because of their principles.
Their entire plan is to punish anyone who does not accept homosexuality as a normal lifestyle. The fact still remains that it is not normal, nor will it ever be; however the gay activists are retaliating by filing lawsuits against them.
What these gay activists don't realize is that thery are building their own gallows.

Yes I am speaking of tax benefits, insurance, etc.
The case before the court against DOMA is that two women were together for 40 years.
Now that one is decreased, the other had to pay 350,000 on a house instead of receiving a tax break.
This is simply the 'wages of sin' as the consequence of her lifestyle.
I'm not being condescending by stating this; however it's a fact. She 'chose' the life and this is the consequence. Sin does not pay, instead it penalizes and this is her penalty.
She is not entitled to be 'rewarded' for how she chose to live nor is anyone else in that lifestyle or any other outside of a Holy Union between Man and Wife... period.
Now tere are laws and wills that can be set in place which is what could have been done. However, redefining marriage just to reward one's sin is not grounds for for the Supreme Court or any other entity on this earth to defile what God has ordained for a man and a woman, not those of the same sex.

Done. This whole thread has become sacrilegious.
HauteHippie
The truth is not sacrilegious.
What IS sacrilegious is the 'notion' and the 'pushing' for gay marriage.
The reality is that gay marriage is the definition of sacrilegious which is:
irreverent toward what is or is held to be sacred
Marriage between One man and One woman is sacred. Anything 'against' it, is sacrilegious.

It is not fact because the issue that I put forth was not concerning marriage, it was concerning taxes and laws. I did not say that she has to be granted marriage, I did not say she has to be granted anything. I did say that it makes no sense for her to pay 350,000 for owning a house with another person, which is what the last part of your post correctly addresses. Since you are speaking from a religious standpoint I will say that homosexual should be judged and punish by God, not by the IRS.

This is my main problem. They want the world to validate their lifestyle. And while many people are hopping on the bandwagon, I'm not falling for it. For the people naive enough to think that this won't affect churches who are against, homosexual marriage, think again.
They will be sued for discrimination. Just you wait. Wasn't there a lawsuit against a photographer who didn't want to do the wedding of a homosexual couple? Also, remember what happened when the Chick-Fil-A owner came out and said he supported traditional marriage? Yeah, we are getting to a point where it's not going to be ok to say you support traditional marriage/traditional family values or else you will be called a bigot. I will NOT be censored or silenced.

Making light of hell
One of the enemy's most successful tricks is blinding people from the consequences of their choices/actions. This person has no earthly idea about the ramifications of his choices. One day his eyes will be opened, and then woe unto him if he doesn't have the time or the conscious to repent.

I think Shimmie's point was that if they weren't married,just as a man and woman shacking up and getting a house aren't married, then the other person in a heterosexual non-married situation would still have to pay the taxes. The consequence of not being married was having to deal with the tax issue. Likewise, the gay couple would find themselves in the same situation as a fornicating hetero couple.
Was that it, Shimmie? Let me know if I got that right.

Exactly. They will try to force this on the churches just as they've forced it into other areas of society. Just look at how they're already trying to force contraception and abortion on us through HHS.
That's it exactly. Thank you Galadriel 
The wages of her sin is her penalty and there's no escaping that. She is not entitled to spousal benefits. And in this case and ONLY
in this case, there is a comparison where both situations bear the same judgement, neither has spousal rights. However gays are attempting to 'cheat' the system and have their unions deemed the same as marriage which it simply cannot be. These activists for gay marriage are trimming all around the crust and killing the pie. They are destroying the true meaning and beauty, and the sacredness of what Marriage truly is. There is nothing more beautiful than a Man and Woman who come together as one, Man and Wife, whom no man (no gay activist) can put assunder.
This is my main problem. They want the world to validate their lifestyle. And while many people are hopping on the bandwagon, I'm not falling for it. For the people naive enough to think that this won't affect churches who are against, homosexual marriage, think again.
They've already 'changed' the Bible with the so-called "Queen James Version" ...

How silly is this? They obviously have absolutely no awareness or respect for God. None whatsoever.
This was done to 'erase' what God says about homosexality being a sin. They've purposely eliminated / re-worded all scripture that does not validate their lifestyle.
Anything that does not 'agree' with their lifestyle is called 'hate', which it is not.
Look what they did to eHarmony (the first dating sight). The owner was sued in court by two gay men, because he did not 'cater' to gays. So he 'had' to agree to put up a section for gays in order to stay in business. If you go to the eHarmony website, you'll see it under the categories.
At first, I didn't want to believe that the owner did this, as he is a professed Christian. Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed in him for caving in like that, especially knowing the God we Know who will contend with those who contend with us.
I'm kind and respectful to everyone, but I refuse to cower and bow down in fear because of something as silly as this. And it is silly. I refuse to be bulldosed by anyone or anything. It's not going to happen.

Hello.
I made a post on my facebook page about me not wanting to go natural and out of nowhere, one of my gay friends (who happens to be married to a nice guy) attacks one of my other facebook friends, solely for having an avatar of a woman stick figure holding hands with a man stick figure...
Let me repeat that my post was regarding my hair and had nothing to do with gay marriage, straight marriage, marrying a dolphin or whatever.
This isn't the first time this has happened on Facebook. I am attacked daily solely because I am a Christian. Daily. Daily.
It seems that emotions get high and flaming solely because I am not a fan of sin. Period.
I wouldn't get beat up so much if I was buddhist, or hindu, or even muslim. As soon as I say that I am Christian, all my gay friends treat me like I was Adolph Hitler.
I have a different destination. It will be a sad day if this all goes down.
If anything, I'm the one that needs to be protected... more than they do. I'm the minority.
I don't know where all this is coming up. Hard for me to get my feelings together.

Be encouraged Beloved...
Jesus said that we would be persecuted for His sake. That 'men' would revile us, because we are connected to Him.
But Jesus also said that we are not to worry for we are Overcomers even more because of Him.
This persecution goes all the way back to Genesis when satan seduced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. After which God told satan that the 'Seed of the Woman' (the Birth of Jesus) would bruise his head.'
The seed (Jesus) would be conceived, born, live, die and be Resurrected, to remove the power of the enemy (satan).
Jesus (before He ascended into Heaven), said that 'All power, both in Heaven and in earth, has been given unto us'. That greater works would we do; casting out demons, healing the sick who would recover; raising the dead... and that the Holy Spirit would be given unto us, to lead and guide us into ALL truth, empowering us to will and to do the will of God our Father.
Everything that we bear witness to, everything that we are 'attacked' with serves to prove only one thing: God is still with us, no matter what and we will do His work and overcome by the Word of our Testimony and by the Blood of the Lamb.
We have our 'Shield of Faith' which quenches every firey (facebook) dart of the enemy.

Jesus told us this would happen, and He also said we would be rewarded! I agree with Shimmie and just wanted to add:
There are several Scriptures that speak about this
Matthew 5:11-12 - (NKJV)
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Here's the lawsuit settlement that eHarmony made. Actually they 'compromised' and abandoned their stand upon the priniples of God.
I'll be honest, I'm more annoyed with eHarmony than I am with the gay lawsuit. How dare they surrender and compromise the faith. It's the last sentence of this report (Highlighted in dark red) that truly, truly, TRULY angers me that this man sold out. And for what? To whom does he give glory?
Here's the Press Release from eHarmony.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
eHarmony, Inc. Settles Class Action Lawsuit Over
Same-Sex Matching
PASADENA, Calif. – January 26, 2010 – eHarmony, Inc. has entered into an agreement to settle a class action lawsuit brought against the company. The action, Carlson, et. al., v. eHarmony, Inc., et al., was filed in 2007 on behalf of a class of gay, lesbian and bisexual individuals in California who alleged that they were unable to use the company’s website to be matched with same-sex partners.
The company has not admitted any wrongdoing or liability. The proposed settlement is subject to approval by the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, following notice to members of the class.
In March 2009, eHarmony launched a same-sex matching service called Compatible Partners. The settlement agreement includes provisions by which eHarmony will modify and maintain certain features on the eHarmony.com and Compatible Partners websites to make them even more welcoming to people who seek same-sex matches.
These provisions include:
•Maintain the Compatible Partners website and the ability for people to select “man seeking man” or “woman seeking woman” options from a drop-down menu on the eHarmony.com homepage
•Identify Compatible Partners as a service “Brought to you by eHarmony” instead of “Powered by eHarmony”
•Display eHarmony’s trademark logo on the Compatible Partners page
•Indicate in the URL line, HTML line or a tab to first-time Compatible Partners users that they are on an eHarmony website
•Include a “Gay Dating” link on the bottom of eHarmony.com alongside other links to “Jewish Dating,” “Senior Dating,” “Hispanic dating,” and the like
The Settlement Agreement also provides for individuals seeking both same-sex matches and opposite-sex matches to pay a single subscription fee.
Additionally under the settlement, all claims will be dismissed and a $2 million settlement fund will be established. Approximately $500,000 will be designated as a fund for claims by the class. Any unclaimed portion of this fund will be donated to a charity designated by the court. Fees to the class counsel will be awarded by the court.
Terms for distribution of the settlement fund and other settlement terms will be disclosed in a notice to be sent to class members after preliminary court approval.
“We are delighted that eHarmony is making its remarkable technology available to the gay and lesbian community in a way that is more welcoming and inclusive,” said Todd Schneider of Schneider Wallace Cottrell Brayton Konecky LLP, co-lead counsel for the plaintiff class.
“eHarmony can be proud of the reputation that it has built as the best dating site on the Internet and it can be proud of the relationship that it is building with the gay and lesbian community,” said Jeremy Pasternak of the Law Office of Jeremy Pasternak, co-lead counsel for the plaintiff class.
“This is an excellent agreement. It is gratifying to see eHarmony, Inc. support matching for the gay and lesbian community, which makes the Internet a more open place,” said Joshua Konecky of Schneider Wallace, co-lead counsel for the plaintiff class.
“eHarmony is happy to move beyond this litigation so it can continue building Compatible Partners into a successful service,” said Robert Freitas of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, outside counsel to the company.
I forgot the link:
http://www.eharmony.com/press-release/25/
-------------------------------------------
They are happy to build the gay site into a sucessful service....
I can't even utter what I want to say.... 
I gonna say it anyway. eharmony is a weakling.
