CHRISTIAN
LEADERS COLLECTIVELY STAND AGAINST GAY MARRIAGE
Excerpts taken from FoxNews.com
Prominent religious leaders throughout the nation united in a
pledge to stand against a Supreme Court ruling, should the highest court in the
nation uphold gay marriage.
Part of the document titled Pledge in Solidarity to Defend
Marriage read,
“We respectfully warn the Supreme Court not to cross that line. We stand
together in defense of marriage. Make no mistake about our resolve. While there
are many things we can endure, redefining marriage is so fundamental to the
natural order and common good that this is the line we must draw and one cannot
and will not cross.”
Signees include Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, former US
Senator Rick Stantorum, National Religious Broadcasters President Jerry
Johnson, Pastor John Hagee and Franklin Graham, President and CEO of the Billy
Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse.
The pledge was codrafted by Catholic Deacon Keith Fournier and
Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel. Others involved in formulating the
pledge were Rick Scarborough, President of Vision America Action and James
Dobson, founder of Family Talk Radio.
“We’re sending a warning to the Supreme Court and frankly any
court that crosses the line on the issue of marriage,” Staver told Fox News
investigative reporter and author Todd Starnes.
Rick Scarborough told Starnes that outrageous penalties are
being assessed against people of faith simply because they refuse to
participate in same sex marriages.
Oregon bakery owners are facing steep fines for refusing to make
a cake for a lesbian wedding, which is strictly against their faith.
Scarborough also referenced a Washington State florist who faces stiff fines
for refusing to participate in a gay wedding.
Another Christian family has been fined for refusing to host a
gay wedding at their farm.
Try forcing Muslims to facilitate Christian baptismals,
or bake Christian cakes with something like the Bible, or a cross on it.
Barack Hussein Obama
would immediately be on the phone threatening someone in that event.
Jesus spoke of these signs preceding His return,
“Then shall they deliver you (Christians) up to be afflicted and
shall kill you (happening in the Middle East now), and you shall be hated of
all nations for My name’s sake” Matthew 24:9.
The Prophet Daniel wrote concerning the antichrist in the latter
days,
“He shall speak great words against the Most High, and shall
wear out the saints of the Most High, and think to change times and laws and
they (Christians) shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the
dividing of time (three and a-half-years – during the last seven years of the
great tribulation – Revelation 13:5)” Daniel 7:25.
Christian persecution will escalate, according to Bible prophecy. The spirit of
antichrist is already at work in the world and he is truly, as we can see, wearing out the saints of God today.
Those who love the Lord with all of their hearts, minds, souls
and strength will endure.
Not only has satan fledged his attack on our society as a whole, but his vile agenda has
infiltrated public schools to the point that Planned Parenthood and Obama’s
Common Core aim to teach your 10-year-old children exactly, step-by-step, how
to perform sodomy on one another; and they label that atrocious and blatant
child abuse “sex education” (http://rt.com/usa/206311-chicago-5thgraders-sex-ed-anal/).
Please visit the Home Education page for helpful information and alternatives. The church needs to wake up now, or lose their children to the
son of hell!
Jesus said concerning the time of His return,
“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot...even thus shall it
be in the day when the Son of Man (Jesus) is revealed” Luke 17:28, 30.
What was going on in the “days of Lot?” Well, sodomy was so blatant in the City of Sodom (named after its prevalent sin) that God Himself
abhorred it and He sent two angels down from heaven to rescue Lot, the nephew
of Abraham, out of that city and then destroy it with fire and brimstone (Genesis
19).
The Word of God also tells us,
“The same day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all” Luke 17:29.
In like manner, as soon as the Lord catches up the saints of God
from this evil and wicked generation (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18), He will pour out His fierce
wrath upon it (Ephesians 5:6).
Hundreds of Bible prophecies have been fulfilled
and those remaining will surely come to pass. Are you prepared to stand before
God and give an account of the life you have lived on this earth? If not,
salvation is only a prayer away. Please visit the How Can I Be Saved page - your eternal destiny
depends on it. God bless you.
