(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama opened his second inaugural address by quoting the statement from the preamble to the Declaration of Independence that all men “are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights."
He then went on to say that if men were in fact created equal, then homosexual “love” must be equal as well.
“What makes us exceptional, what makes us American," said Obama, “is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago: ‘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.’"

Well if you see Reggie Love around the WH again, you’ll know.
They were not created that way.
“Male and female, He created them”
The perversion of soul and flesh has been entrenched in the human experience for quite some time as noted in Deuteronomy 32.
(On a slippery path and the time be due.)
Can a person learn to do or like something for which they have no talent or natural ability or affinity for?
Is the reverse true as well?
Do we have "free will" and therefore can choose to do right or choose to do wrong? Good or evil?
Or are we merely puppets who blamelessly can only "dance on the strings of powers we cannot perceive" and nothing more?
How about James 4:4-6, Jude 1:6-11. Obama has no idea what the Bible says about sin, evil and perverted behavior in this world. If he were a Christian, he would know.
It is a time like this that we are fortunate we are not a theocracy.
That's what his equal will bring US.
If God truly created us equal pedophelia is equal as well
If God truly created us equal polyandry and poligamy are equal as well
Obama, the joker, the psychopomp, seeks the destruction of civil society so he can substitute his Utopia, where no one is exceptional, everyone is average, and equal. 1984 looks more desirable than Obamaland.
But I'm getting impatient, too.
God created us equal - all with temptations to sin and all with opportunities for joy within the boundaries He has set for us. We don’t (yet) say, “if God ‘truly’ created us equal, adulterous ‘love’ is equal as well”. I am quite confident that if God decides to change His Word regarding adultery, homosexuality, or any other transgression in the Bible, He will let us know unambiguously. He will almost certainly not not use so doubtful a figure as Obama for His messenger.
Good points. The other thing I like to ask people who claim that homosexuals are being denied some kind of “right”, I ask which right, as stated in the Constitution/Bill of Rights are they being denied? The right to a free press? The right to worship? The right to assemble? The right to a jury trial? The right to bear arms?
Obviously, homosexuals aren’t being denied any “right” as declared/defined by the Constitution. They even have the same ability to get married as I do (I could only marry someone of the opposite sex, therefore they also could marry someone of the opposite sex).
What all of this is, as you pointed out in a different way is an attempt to redefine what society and God have declared to be deviant and call it not just good, but wonderful and necessary.
But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Further, God has given everyone different talents and abilities, different ability to learn things. To excel at certain things if enough effort is provided. Not everyone has the same job (responsibilities) and abilities and so people are not equal in what they earn. Some people earn less than others but have more power to do things than those who make more.
Hardly equal. Equal as people in the image of God, but not equal in any other way.
Someone ought to tell O-hole that selective reading of the Bible isn’t how it “works”. You don’t get to skip over the stuff you don’t like. God is God, nobody is equal to Him, and that means you don’t get to ignore the parts of God’s Word you wish were different or not there.
“Since we ought to be no less persuaded that the propitious smiles of Heaven, can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained: And since the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny of the Republican model of Government, are justly considered as deeply, perhaps as finally staked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.”....

James 1:12-16 explains that when someone wants to do something wrong that it is never God who is tempting him. Temptation is the result of man’s own evil thoughts and wishes. Jesus is not tolerant of evil behavior. This is what people that have never opened a Bible just don’t get.
