Immoral Homosexual ‘marriage’ arrives in Minnesota and Rhode Island. Expect anti-Christian bias

Image
August 1 marked the first day of legalized same-sex “marriages” in Minnesota and Rhode Island , after both states’ legislatures passed laws redefining marriage to include homosexual couples last spring. That brings to 13 the number of U.S. states that have redefined marriage, along with the District of Columbia. In Minnesota, Governor Mark Dayton proclaimed August 1 “ Freedom to Marry Day ,” and homosexuals started lining up outside government offices the evening before to be among the first to take advantage of the new law. At midnight, Minneapolis’s City Hall was packed with about 1,000 people who came to witness Governor Dayton, Mayor R.T. Rybak, and a handful of Hennepin County judges “marry” 67 gay and lesbian couples. In Rhode Island, there was no such fanfare. Municipal offices opened as usual at 8:30 a.m., and both homosexual activists and county clerks told local media they weren’t expecting a rush on marriage licenses. Since same-sex nuptials are already legal in a...

Minnesota legislature approves same-sex ‘marriage;’ governor to sign bill

Image
ST. PAUL, MN, May 14, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Tuesday night, at a ceremony on the steps of the state capitol, Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton is expected to sign a bill redefining marriage in the state to include homosexual couples.  The State Senate approved the bill Monday by a 37-30 vote.  The State House voted on the measure last week,  passing  it 75-59.  Governor Dayton , a Democrat , has called the legislation “one of those society-changing breakthrough moments.” When the law is signed, Minnesota will be the 12 th  U.S. state to legalize same-sex “marriage,” and the third in just ten days. Delaware and Rhode Island both passed gay “marriage” earlier this month.  Homosexual couples will be able to “marry” in Minnesota starting August 1. Gov. Mark Dayton is expected to sign the bill Tuesday evening. Thousands of demonstrators from both sides of the marriage debate flooded the capitol Monday for the Senate debate, which lasted four h...

Ron Latz states God makes homosexual sin

Image
Via:  @jhiscock Minnesota will become the 12th state in the country, plus DC , to allow same-sex couples to marry, following a 37-30 vote of the state’s Senate on Monday. I want you to note one particular comment.  Judiciary Committee Chair Ron Latz  said, “ God made gays. And god made gays capable of loving other people of the same gender . Who are we to quibble with god’s intentions?” This accusation against God's nature, his holiness and righteousness is pure  arrogance. It is possible that Latz is ignorant as to the nature of God , or that Latz maybe referring to another God but not the God of Holy Scripture.  Latz is accusing God intentionally of creating sinful beings, while at the same time scripture clearly declares that God condemns homosexuality as a grevous sin.  Yet scripture says we are made in God's image. That sin entered the world through Adam via Satan in rebellion against God.  Accusing a holy righteous God ...

Homosexual activists in Minnesota move to ban unsupportive speech in schools

English: Bullying on IRFE in March 5, 2007, the first class day. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) ST.PAUL, MN, March 11, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Homosexual activists in Minnesota are pushing for a broad “Safe and Supportive Schools Act” that would outlaw speech that could interfere with a student's ability "to participate in a safe and supportive learning environment."  The bill is being promoted as the strongest " anti-bullying " law in the nation, but critics say it could have a chilling effect on free speech, especially in religious schools that teach Christian beliefs on sexuality.  “We agree … that school bullying is a serious issue that needs to be ameliorated,” said Pete Noll, education director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, testifying before the state legislature.  “All children are entitled to a safe, secure learning environment.”  But he disagreed that the “Safe and Supportive Schools Act” should apply to religious schools. The bill, a...

Target flip-flops, funds same-sex ‘marriage’ organization

Image
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA , May 23, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Two years after funding a pro-marriage politician, the Target Corporation has decided to fund an organization dedicated to same-sex “marriage.” Target has announced it will make a donation  worth up to $120,000  to the Family Equality Council (FEC), a homosexual political advocacy group. LGBT groups put Target in a bulls-eye after it donated money to a pro-marriage candidate in 2010. In the month of June, the chain will donate the proceeds from  online sales of a special collection of shirts, including one  designed by singer Gwen Stefani , to the organization.  The Minneapolis-based retailer faced backlash in 2010 after it gave $150,000 to MN Forward , a political group that supported Tom Emmer , the pro-life, pro-marriage Republican candidate  for governor of Minnesota. He narrowly lost to pro-abortion Democrat Mark Dayton . At the time, the corporation resisted calls to make ...

Forgiveness, wrath, grace & homosexuals

Image
Image via Wikipedia Jesus died so that heterosexual and homosexual sinners might be saved. Jesus created sexuality, and has a clear will for how it is to be experienced in holiness and joy. His will is that a man might leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and that the two become one flesh ( Mark 10:6-9 ). In this union, sexuality finds its God -appointed meaning, whether in personal-physical unification, symbolic representation, sensual jubilation, or fruitful procreation. For those who have forsaken God’s path of sexual fulfillment, and walked into homosexual intercourse or heterosexual extramarital fornication or adultery, Jesus offers astonishing mercy. Such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God ( 1 Corinthians 6:11 ). But last weekend this salvation from sinful sexual acts was not embraced. Instead there was massive celebration of sin. One estimate  s...
