Homosexuality - from a Christian Perspective. There is help available...

Advocates of same-sex marriage seek to change the definition of marriage, they are trying to force us or “impose on us” to accept their beliefs, their choice, or their “way of life” and their redefinition of marriage to what they want it to be. If these propositions do not pass – the gays and lesbians and same-sex marriage advocates will be "imposing" on us to change our churches, to change what is being taught in our schools to our children, and to change our way life… to conform to the lifestyle they have ‘chosen’ to live.

Advocates may argue that homosexuals have not "chosen" this. They are comparing it with the disabilities acts and the civil rights movement. Being gay isn't a disability or an ethnicity. Even if one is born with these tendencies, it still is a choice one makes to live the lifestyle. There are many organizations like Portland Fellowship (see: http://www.portlandfellowship.com/) whose belief is that there is freedom from homosexuality and it comes through a person... the Lord Jesus Christ. Their programs were inspired by men and women who have experienced freedom from homosexual desire and behavior through the love and mercy of Jesus Christ. Their ministry has helped hundreds of men and women find biblical resolution to their homosexuality and has ministered to their families, friends, and church leaders. Homosexual advocacy groups would have you believe there is no way to change so just accept it and change God's word.

We are all have weakness. We choose to act on them. If someone chooses to act on a weakness and go against God's word, we can't change the fundamental truths in order to conform or fit their lifestyle.

Some may claim if my son were gay - I would feel differently. Fundamental truths do not change. If my son were gay, I would feel the same. I would still love my son, but I couldn't change truth. We can't change God's word to suit our purposes. We can love the person, not the sin.

Advocates for same-sex marriage wish to breaking through religious barriers and promote this lifestyle. In supporting this amendment I am not advocating hate for those who choose to stay in and live this lifestyle – I recognize that it is a natural tendency. I don’t understand the struggles they go through. I’m not judging them or discriminate against them, or telling them they have to do what I think is right. I just want the values of traditional marriage to be upheld not changed. God tells us to love all but to stand for the truth and be strong in the faith even if it isn't the popular thing to do.

"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let all your things be done with charity." 1 Corinthinians 16: 13-14

There are others not just Christian who know there is a way to change. Advocates would have you believe there isn't a way, but it is just not true. It is a choice. Watch the videos to find out more info.







Gun Control???

Want to see who really supports gun control? Watch the video...

Where do you draw the line?

If gay marriage is OK - What about three men getting married? What about four or five of them getting married? Marriage should be for anyone who loves each other. It is a well known fact that gay men are typically not monogamous - so suppose three or four of them want to get together. Why keep the definition of marriage limited to two, that is not fair to those who love more than one person.

And if homosexual men can marry more than one, then it should be alright for anyone to have multiple wives and husbands. Let's reintroduce polygamy back into our society. It is not fair to all the polygamist that have been hiding and doing this in isolation. Let them come out and we should all embrace their lifestyle too - very discriminatory, if we don't, right?? If we want to have a "live and let live" policy then we can't say yes to homosexuals - but no to polygamist.

And what about brothers and sisters getting married, or brothers and brothers getting married? If they love each other and want to spend and commit the rest of their lives together - why should we stop them. If we want to have "live and let live" policy - then we need to be fair. If we want to change what marriage means for one group of people then if other groups want to change it - we have to be fair and let them change the definition too.

Watch the video below and see what supporter of same-sex marriages have to say about the other kinds of marriage? hmmmm - do you think they are being a bit discriminatory?? Think about it.

Where do we draw the line???

Let's keep the traditional definition of marriage. Vote Yes for Marriage - one man and one woman!

Have you thought about it...

Coming Out Day!

"'Coming Out Day' involved children as young as kindergarten at Faith Ringgold School of Art and Science in Hayward, California.

"This is an event where they have pictures [and] posters up, telling stories and encouraging people who feel that they are homosexual or opposite gender to freely express that and articulate and affirm that," Dacus explains.

According to a PJI press release, parents noticed that the posters -- which claimed to promote families -- depicted homosexual "families" only. The legal firm says the school is continuing to celebrate Gay and Lesbian History Month for the rest of October, but parents are being ignored in the process.

On November 20, the school will host "TransAction Gender-Bender Read-Aloud," where students will hear adapted tales such as "Jane and the Beanstalk."

"Do we need any further proof that gay activists will target children as early as possible?" the Christian attorney asks."

Watch the video below to find out what kind of values they want to teach to our children.

Another reasons why Assisted Suicide is Wrong

This is what it leads to.
This is from a while ago - remember Terri Schiavo, this "murder"...
Next time, instead of her "husband" trying for years to kill her, he can just give her a lethal dose of medicine.





Assisted Suicide is NOT Death with Dignity





Camille Pauley of Kenmore, WA stated:
"When my mother lay dying of a debilitating stroke, her suffering was not an unbearable burden for her, nor for her family, because there was love. We will all die. The tragedy of allowing doctors to help people kill themselves is that it completely abandons the patient, and ignores our responsibility as a civilized society to create systems that enable everyone to die with the true dignity, love, and care that my mother received" from http://noassistedsuicide.com/qanda.html

I couldn't agree with Camille more. Having gone through the experience of losing a loved one, everyone should die with true dignity, love and care. Giving someone a lethal dose of pills to take - abandons them and shows them that we as a society really don't care about them, nor want to take care of them, nor value their life.

All life is precious and we should fight to protect all life. The Declaration of Independence states:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Government was set up to protect life, not to create laws to make it legal to take life. We are making doctors into killers.







Join the people against assisted suicide in Washington

Ok - this is an issue in my state & I can't believe I haven't put any posts about it.

I remember hearing about Barbara Wagner on the Victoria Taft show before she passed away. It is truly a conflict of interest for the state - the state saves more money if they pay for the suicide instead of the cancer treatment. The state government "tries" to save money in the budget - which they are suppose to do - but by doing so - they are recommending suicide to people. That is not the government's place to recommend suicide to patients. The government is suppose to protect life - not encourage suicide.

Here is some information about the measure:
All information from: http://noassistedsuicide.com/

"What is I-1000?


I-1000 would legalize assisted suicide and redefine suicide as a medical treatment. It would allow doctors to order lethal drug overdoses to people with life-limiting illnesses, even if they are depressed.

What's wrong with I-1000?


I-1000 lacks real protection for people suffering from depression and mental illness.
People who are diagnosed with a life-limiting illness often become depressed. This depression is usually temporary and treatable. I-1000 does not require assessment or treatment for depression. [I-1000, Section 6]. Because the waiting period is only 15 days, a suicidal "cry for help" could be met with a bottle of lethal drugs, instead of encouragement and treatment.

I-1000 harms spouses and families.
Under I-1000, a spouse or family member need not be told about the lethal overdose. [I-1000, Section 8]. Families might never know the truth of how their loved one died.

I-1000 endangers our health care, especially for the poor.
With the passage of I-1000, health plans would be given an incentive to cut costs by steering patients towards suicide. In Oregon, where assisted suicide is legal, this is already occurring. Consider Barbara Wagner. The Oregon Health plan refused to pay for a cancer drug to prolong her life, but did offer to pay for her assisted suicide. Unable to afford the drug herself, she was steered towards suicide. See above video.

I-1000 does not require a witness at the death.
Once the lethal dose is issued by the pharmacy, there is no oversight. Most importantly, I-1000 does not require that the death by lethal overdose be witnessed. See I-1000 entire text (no witness required at the death) at www.secstate.wa.gov/elections/initiatives/text/i1000.pdf

Without a required witness, the opportunity is created for an heir or stressed-out caregiver to administer the lethal overdose to the patient without his consent. Even if he struggled, who would know? With no required witness, I-1000 creates the perfect alibi.

What's wrong with Oregon's law?
Since Oregon passed its law in 1994, physician-assisted suicide and/or euthanasia proposals have been introduced in 21 states, some multiple times. Not one has passed.

In Oregon, the state health plan pays for assisted suicide but doesn't pay for some chemotherapy for people with cancer. I-1000 is similar to -- but more expansive than -- Oregon's problem-filled assisted suicide law.
Why I-1000 is more dangerous than Oregon's law.

I-1000 is written more broadly than Oregon’s law, has less accountability, more secrecy, and contains significantly less protection for everyone except a small group of pro- assisted suicide doctors and bureaucrats.

Who opposes I-1000?

National and State Medical Associations oppose I-1000
Assisted suicide is opposed by the American Medical Association and state medical associations in 49 states, including Washington. (WSMA press release, July 2, 2008). The 9,000 member Washington State Medical Association “strongly opposes” I-1000. (WSMA Brochure, "I-1000 is not the Answer".)

Prominent Democrats and Republicans oppose I-1000.
Liberals and conservatives, pro-choice and pro-life people across Washington have joined together in opposition to Initiative 1000 because it is a dangerous law that goes too far.

Many prominent national and local disability rights organizations oppose I-1000.
Society often dismisses the value and quality of the lives of people with disabilities, making many disabled people vulnerable to pressure and manipulation. Many people with life-limiting illnesses also struggle with disabilities and are therefore vulnerable to assisted suicide.

We don't need I-1000

The people of Washington can already choose to refuse any medical treatment they don't want. They can already choose to receive good end-of-life and hospice care, excellent pain control, and the relief of discomfort. The people of Washington need quality end-of-life care, not the lethal drug overdose I-1000 prescribes.

Proponents of I-1000 argue that it is a humane step toward improving healthcare. Suicide is, however, not a medical "treatment." Patients have a right to care, not suicide. In the words of Professor Rheba de Tornyay:

"Do we want a potentially dangerous law that fewer than 50 people a year use in Oregon? ... Or do we want to spend our resources assuring the preservation and expansion of Medicare and private insurance hospice benefits to promote a peaceful
end so that all our citizens might truly experience death with dignity?"

Obamamessiah

Obama’s followers often compare him to Jesus Christ. Many Obama supporters say Jesus was a community organizer just like Obama was. Young children sing the praises of their Dear Leader Obama. Young men, dressed in military fatigues, praise Obama as if he is a demi-god. Obama's hero worship is disturbing and chilling.

"A "leader" in the American sense is someone chosen to act as chief executive to handle a particular task for a particular period. He is a member of the team - the chief member, perhaps, but still a teammate. The fact that he is president is no different, except in scale, from someone running a charity drive, a company, or the army. The individual does the job, is suitably rewarded, and goes home.

It somehow comes as no surprise that American liberals have been trying to undo this innovation for much of the past century. To a convinced liberal, a leader is in no way limited to anything as mundane as running a country. A leader is a transcendent being, someone more than human, someone with a touch of the divine. Leaders don't handle tasks, they lead movements, they embody the spirit of the age. They transform. Leaders, to put it simply, are führers.

This explains why liberals are so attracted to tyrants on the international scene. Stalin is the classic historical example (for a dose of political hagiography at its most nauseating, see the film Mission to Moscow) though we've witnessed the same type of thing more recently involving Castro and Hugo Chavez. The search for this precise type of idol explains the visits to Chavez by the Sean Penns and Naomi Campbells. The fact that they've settled for Chavez, who on his best day reminds me of nothing more than a crazier Manuel Noriega, shows how pathological this urge can be.

Barack Obama is our new liberal messiah, offering redemption for our country's original sin. In the early stages of the campaign, he was viewed as a nice fella with an interesting background and a sad lack of real experience. But now we're asked to believe that at some point, perhaps while flying between Ottoumwa and Dubuque, the Mandate of Heaven settled on his shoulders, and he became "The new JFK" (the Times of London), "a glamorous and romantic figure" (the New York Sun), "the hope of a new generation" (everybody).

Here is Gary Kamiya of Salon:

"Obama's victory seemed almost otherworldly--as if the laws of space and time had been suspended, and a quality as evanescent and fragile as hope had suddenly become real. I am not a religious person, but it was hard not to feel that his triumph vindicated the essence of what I think of as the secular essence of religion, something even nonbelievers can believe in: the possibility of inner transformation. A transformation at once personal and national."

Uh-huh. And here is Nicholas Wapshott, in the New York Sun:

"That Mr. Obama appeals to young voters, both registered Democrats and Independents, is evident. You can see it in the long lines of young faces waiting in the cold to hear him speak. You can tell from the size of the turnout, where record numbers of new voters have been taking part in grass roots democracy for the first time. Not since the flowering of the new democracies of South Africa and Iraq have so many so eagerly come out to cast their votes."

Is Barack Obama the Messiah?
"... a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany ... and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama" - Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Why Not Gay Marriage?

"What happens if these Marriage Amendments do not pass?

If they do not pass, then the institution of marriage remains vulnerable in these states to the national movement of homosexual activists who are working to redefine it. In Florida, the Supreme Court will go through a major transformation, with 4 new justices being appointed out of the sitting 7 justices in less than 6 months. With the new make up of the court, there is no way to know how the court would rule on a case challenging marriage laws. What happened in California and Massachusetts could easily happen in any state – with the court overturning the law protecting marriage and imposing same-sex marriage on the rest of society. This will require schools to begin teaching that homosexual marriages are equal to marriages between a man and a woman. Public schools will be forced to teach young children that two men being intimate are just the same as a husband and wife.

Isn’t a ban on gay marriage like bans on interracial marriage?

Bans on interracial marriage were about keeping two races apart so that one race could oppress the other. Marriage is about bringing two sexes together, so that children get the unique love and nurture of both a mom and a dad. Having a parent of two different races is just not the same as being deprived of your mother—or your father. Race and ethnicity are not inherent properties of marriage. Gender on the other hand is an inherent property of marriage.

What about gay partners who want to visit each other in the hospital?

Homosexual couples already have a right to sign contracts and do proper estate planning. The Marriage Amendment has no affect on citizens to acquire these personal legal agreements.

What would be the harm of allowing gay marriage? How can “Adam and Steve” hurt your marriage?

The real question is how will same-sex marriage affect all of society? No society ancient or modern has ever sustained itself with a buffet like mentality when it comes to marriage and family. Same-sex marriage will subject children to a vast untested social experiment. A loving and civilized society always comes to the aid of fatherless and motherless families. But a loving and civilized society never intentionally creates fatherless and motherless families as a matter of law and public policy.

Are you saying gays cannot be good parents?

Two men might each be a good father, but neither can be a mother. The ideal for children is the love and nurturing of both a mom and a dad. No same-sex couple can provide that. So the question becomes, which parent is not important for a child, a mom or a dad?

Marriage is a foundational institution in our society that provides many benefits to the public good. Redefining marriage would hurt children and lead to further problems in our communities. The resources below offer solid reasons for defending marriage and protecting the definition between one man and one woman.

Thousands of social science research studies over the past 40 years in peer reviewed journals all demonstrate that children always do better in every category when raised in the context of a married mother and father. Click here for just a sampling of this voluminous research. "

Yes 2 Marriage



"Many people ask the question, "What's the big deal about gay marriage?" The big deal is that when you change the law to allow for same sex marriage, you simultaneously you are changing hundreds of other laws at the same time. The effect on children in public schools is profound. The resources below document what has occurred to parents and children in Massachusetts over the past couple years."

from: http://www.yes2marriage.org/learn-more/public-education-and-same-sex-marriage/

"The most important consequence of marriage is, that the husband
and the wife become in law only one person... Upon this principle
of union, almost all the other legal consequences of marriage
depend. This principle, sublime and refined, deserves to be
viewed and examined on every side." -- James Wilson (Of the Natural Rights of Individuals, 1792)

"Dear Friends,

We thought that anti-marriage forces might resort to this...

In Florida, the Yes2Marriage.org web site reported that in the last week its computer system has been hacked and infected with viruses. The attacks are obviously designed to shut down their efforts in these final days before the vote.

And it gets worse...

Last week the California Teachers Association donated another $1 million to the effort to defeat California’s marriage amendment.

So California's teachers have joined with the public utility,
most of Hollywood, the governor, Barack Obama and the
rest of the liberal elite in OPPOSING MARRIAGE!

Yet the good news in both Florida and California is that the polls show marriage has gained ground and victory is within reach!

+ + Voter turnout will decide the fate of marriage

It is now clear that voter turnout will decide whether marriage survives in these key votes!

Encourage all your friends and family to vote!"
