California Attorney-General turns against Prop 8

SAN FRANCISCO - California's attorney general has changed his position on the state's new same-sex marriage ban and is now joining forces with homosexual activists to overturn the results of Proposition 8.

Is anyone out there?

 I have to wonder what is going on in the body of Christ, and more specifically with Church leadership. Things that used to bring us to our knees and cause our voices to rise in support of righteousness, now cause not even a small ripple effect.

Not content to just live life as they choose, one single gay man has forced eHarmony to provide a gay dating service to their site. This should trouble anyone who cherishes our freedoms and liberties. eHarmony is a private owned business, and receives no tax dollars nor does it have a tax exempt status. Yet, one angry and misguided individual has found an equally misguided activist Attorney General in New Jersey, to compel eHarmony to take this ridiculous action against their will. Just as California is still under assault by a vocal and militant minority because a majority of voters said no to gay marriage, one person has forced a private company to succumb to political correctness and surrender it’s legal right to operate how they see fit. Forget the moral or political implications of this issue. This should trouble all of us, for our majority vote now means nothing, if about 2% of the population can force the other 98% to embrace their ridiculous and godless agenda.

Lets set the record straight on a few misconceptions regarding Barack Obama’s positions 2 key issues for Christians.

 Barack Obama is merely “pro-choice”.

Fact- Obama promised Planned Parenthood that upon assuming the office of President, he would immediately sign the Freedom of Choice Act, which would remove nearly all restrictions on abortion in America. Obama voted NO on prohibiting minors from crossing state lines to get an abortion. He voted NO on notifying parents of minors who cross state lines to obtain abortions. Obama voted NO on defining the unborn child as eligible for SCHIP. He declared pro-lifers objections on moral grounds “unproductive”. Obama has voted against banning partial birth abortion. Barack Obama says he hasn’t decided when life begins and went so far as to declare that expressing a view about when life begins was “above his pay grade”. Obama received a 100% grade from pro-abortion groups like NARAL, and a 0-mark from pro-life NRLC.

Here’s the ugly truth….Barack Obama is proactive in the assault on the unborn.

Stop it…Just stop it

When I ponder the results of this election. I am horrified at the similarities with the words found in 1 Samuel chapter 8. Despite warnings from God's man, the people demanded a king so that they could be like everyone else. Well, the mob gathered on Tuesday demanding a king to rule over them. Despite warnings from God's prophets of today, they demanded and were granted their king. What happens now is in God's hands. 2 Chronicles 7:14 declares our only hope. It is time now for God's people to humble themselves, and seek God in prayer for divine intervention. My greatest fear is that the voices of countless millions more of unborn, aborted babies will cry out for rescue, but their little voices will go unheard. The deviant sexual appetite of men will be unrestrained and traditional marriage will be erased from the landscape. Ultr-Liberal Supreme Court judges will legislate a godless agenda from the bench, and the will of the majority will not be heard. Our Christian heritage that is the foundation of this great nation will be diminished and marginalized as never before. God awaken His church. God have mercy on us, and please heal this land.

There's a new poll out of Californai voters re: the vote on that state's marriage amendment next month, and the results are encouraging.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― A new CBS 5 poll finds that California's Proposition 8 has picked up support in the wake of a television ad campaign that features footage of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom proclaiming same-sex marriage is here to stay "whether you like it or not."

The poll conducted for CBS 5 by SurveyUSA indicates that support for the measure to ban gay marriage has grown among voters in the state over an eleven day period — most especially among young voters.

According to the poll, likely California voters overall now favor passage of Proposition 8 by a five-point margin, 47 percent to 42 percent. Ironically, a CBS 5 poll eleven days prior found a five-point margin in favor of the measure's opponents. ...

Well, you may have wondered how long this was going to take. First, a one vote majority of the California Supreme Court (4-3) votes to legalize gay marriage in that state, and now the state begins to issue politically correct marriage licenses that not only make no reference to gender, but refuse to allow recognition of either "party" as "bride" or "groom".

From World Net Daily:

ROSEVILLE, Calif. – "Brides" and "grooms" are no longer allowed to marry in the State of California.

That privilege is only extended to individuals who allow themselves to be called "Party A" and "Party B" on marriage licenses.

Pastor Doug Bird of Abundant Life Fellowship in Roseville, Calif., was alarmed to find the state now rejects the traditional terms after he officiated his first marriage ceremony last week following the California Supreme Court decision to overturn Proposition 22.

The couple had written the words "bride" and "groom" next to "Party A" and "Party B" because they wanted to be legally recognized as husband and wife.

However, the Placer Count marriage license was denied. ...

I believe the biggest threat to marriage is divorce, not homosexuals seeking marriage rights. I wish this organization would take action to outlaw divorce or at least make it possible only after one year of intense couples therapy. Any thoughts?
