Supporters of marriage across the country have been charged by governmental entities with "discrimination"

English: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Now that the US Supreme Court has illegitimately redefined marriage , it's open season on Christians and other people of faith who continue to believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. Supporters of marriage across the country have been charged by governmental entities with "discrimination" and subsequently fined , shamed and punished. In Washington , the state Attorney General is suing a 70-year old grandmother simply because she didn't want to personally participate in arranging flowers for a gay 'wedding' because doing so violates her religious beliefs. He has threatened her with financial ruin unless she agrees to apologize, change her ways and pay a fine. Across the border in Oregon , the state has fined two Christian bakers $135,000 because they did not want to bake a cake celebrating a gay 'wedding' even

National Surveys Show Decline in Support for Same-sex 'Marriage'

National Surveys Show Decline in Support for Same-sex 'Marriage' We reported last week about the phenomenal change in public opinion concerning the public's support for same-sex 'marriage' as documented by a national survey conducted by the Associated Press/Gfk . The AP/GfK survey found support for SSM down 6 points since April, and opposition up by 4 points — a combined 10 point swing in public opinion. Two other national polls have been released, both showing a similar trend. Ipsos/Reuters found in its most recent survey that 51% of adults support same-sex 'marriage,' down 3 points since April. And the latest Gallup poll showed support for same-sex 'marriage' at 58% with opposition at 40%. As we've pointed out previously , the support number is artificially high due to Gallup's use of the dubious practice of "priming" whereby they ask a leading question designed to elicit support for same-sex couples right before asking about ga

Leviticus 18:22, 20:13, and a "man who lies with a man"

English: Israel Map - Lev HaSharon Regional Council עברית: מפת ישראל - מועצה אזורית לב השרון (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Lev. 18:22 ‘You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination ." ( NASB ) "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." ( ESV , NKJV ) Clearly, the Old Testament condemns homosexuality.  What else does it mean when it says "you shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female"?  The term "lie with" here refers to sexual intercourse in the phrase "lie with a male as one lies with a female."  It is an abomination.  The word here is  תֹּועֵבָה   towʿebah ,  toʿebah. 117 occurrences; AV translates as "abomination" 113 times, "abominable thing" twice, and "abominable" twice. 1 a disgusting thing, abomination, abominable. 1a in ritual sense (of unclean food, idols, mixed marriages). 1b in ethical sense (of wickedness etc. ). 1

ROME, January 17, 2014 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The homosexualist lobby, one of the most powerful at the European Union and Council of Europe, has been busy over the last month, particularly with preparations for opposing Russia’s “gay propaganda ban” in the lead up to the Sochi Winter Olympics. The main player in Europe’s branch of the movement is  ILGA Europe , (International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association,) an NGO funded directly by the European Union and a consortium of far-left foundations.  The group works tirelessly and systematically to bring  the homosexualist ideology  to legal and social fruition in every country of the European Union, issuing demands, normally with the wholehearted support of activist MEPs, that nations like Serbia and Croatia toe the line before they are considered for membership in the EU. In countries where civil partnerships are already established, they work to change the definition of marriage to include same-sex p

City Hall of Portland, Oregon (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) January 20, 2014 ( FRC ) - In a politically correct world, the costs of running a business are a lot more than dollars and cents. For Aaron and Melissa Klein, the owners of a small Oregon bakery, the price is their First Amendment rights . Their dream of opening a dessert shop near Portland, Oregon turned into a nightmare when two lesbians refused to take "no" for an answer on their request for a same-sex "wedding" cake. Exactly one year ago, the Kleins explained that they couldn't take the order because it would violate their faith to participate in a same-sex "marriage" ceremony. Furious, the women filed a complaint with the state. The story made national headlines, as the young couple became another face in the war on religious liberty. "We still stand by what we believe from the beginning," Aaron told reporters. "I'm not sure what the future holds, but as far as
