"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.....
Thanks, sis! We are truly 'One' that's for sure and I so appreciate you saying this...thank you

Excellent video...got me all excited!!!
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.
I try to tell people the same thing. If the Catholic church can refuse to marry or acknowledge a marriage because of divorce, I'm sure they're not worried about being forced to marry gays.
I don't have a problem with church folks standing against gay marriage. I just hate this particular argument.

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.
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.
Done. This whole thread has become 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 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.
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.
Making light of hell A bunch of foolishness

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

Sis, read what scriptures they actually changed to suit the gay lifestyle....wowThey've already 'changed' the Bible with the so-called "Queen James Version" ...
http://queenjamesbible.com/
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.

It wouldn't allow me to copy and paste, but this is the reader for the book (I will not call it a bible) on amazon.
I did not know about the dating site...i'm sure we will see this a lot more...lovers of money more than lovers of God...
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.
