Two veteran street preachers in Houston are facing a bench trial for spreading the biblical message about homosexuality and other sins on one of their favorite corners for preaching in Houston.
That the message was direct is obvious, from a photo of the situation that developed for David Stokes of BulldogMinistries.com and Dave Allen of HornofSamuelBook.com:
Their sign warns those who are "Drunks, homosexuals, abortionist, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, atheists, witches, idolators" that "Hell awaits you."
Their hearing will be in Houston Municipal Court, which is run by Barbara E. Hartle, who, according to the Dallas Voice, is listed by the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund as "one of only a few out members of the Texas judiciary."
She was appointed to the position by Houston Mayor Annise Parker, identified by the Los Angeles Times as "the first lesbian to head a major American city."

I absolutely agree with you and I say that because my oldest daughter has chosen to live as a lesbian and one of my brothers is a homoseexual and I have seen the narcissism up close.
Exactly.
It’s a bible verse, guys.
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Cor 6:9-10, King James Version.
Some hold differences with the translation, but that’s what it says.
Scripture makes little distinction between “good witches” and “bad witches”. It’s not based on Satanism, but on going to anyone but God for supernatural aid.
I agree with you. IMHO, homosexuality is a sexual dysfunction, and closely tied with self-image problems. So many of them are narcissists and exhibitionists. Of course, they don’t see it.
When you see them running around half naked, being flamboyant, and jumping on one another in public, many of them somehow think they are doing what “straights” do - because their thinking about sexuality is deranged. Many of them don’t have any idea how they are viewed by normal folk.
All of the sexual “acts against nature” — including homosexual sex, contracepted sex, and all of the perversions— are partner-assisted masturbation. Thank you for supplying me with the appropriate phrase.
I do believe that this is far less incendiary than the infamous Fred Phelps / Westboro Baptist Church “free speech” which was ruled within the First Amendment.
An earlier English translation of the Bible had "bugger" instead of the KJV's circumlocution.

Not many doing this so I don’t thing we have to worry about a lot of people getting arrested...............
Obviously when James Madison put “freedom of speech” and “freedom of religion” in the 1st amendment, he never expected anyone to abuse those rights by quoting the Bible to condemn homosexuality. He assumed people would stick to nice uncontroversial texts like “peace on earth” or “the Lord is my shepherd” or “slaves, obey your masters.”
{...Homosexuality will bring in the persecution of the church.}
It also brings in money and sadly some church leaders are willing to sell out.
The judge dismissed the charges: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=373737
RE: The judge dismissed the charges:
Well, well, well, don;t let anyone tell you that Lesbians cannot be fair after all. Maybe this is a court managed by a conservative gay judge...
My Pastor says in the next 5 years he will be prosecuted for preaching from the book of Romans...
I have always thought he was right.
Oh and he will preach even if prosecuted.
