God bless Kim Davis - and JimRob :-)
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. 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.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

The Supreme Court cannot overturn God’s Laws.
I am glad.
But it still angers me that so many worship the State here.
Amen Jim
How many Clerks in liberal States issued Gay Marriage Licenses against the STATE LAWS, not a court decision but STATE LAWS, in some cases STATE AMENDMENTS TO STATE CONSTITUTIONS!
Remember Proposition 8 in KaliFornia?
I wonder how many liberal clerks were Imprisoned going against that..... Probably Zero, they just got a tiny welt on their wrist after their slap on their wrist....
Page 5:
Finally, the First Amendment ensures that religions, those who adhere to religious doctrines, and others have protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths.
Page 27:
Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered.
If the judge is going to cite the Supreme Court ruling, then where is this protection? Were there not other alternatives short of imprisonment that could have taken first, if they were serious about protecting the First Amendment rights, too, during all of this?

Support at your own risk!
I said way back in 2002 that this was not a political war, but a spiritual war. I was right.
According to the Bible, we shall be persecuted for some time, but God wins in the end.
(You might be surprised to hear me identify with Christians... my early-2000's attempt to try out my birth-father's religion, Judaism, failed. I'm a Christian on my mothers side, so I returned)
Excuse my butting in here, but....
2 Corinthians 6:14 (ASV)Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness?
I won't shop at target, for example. They're removing the boys and girls department to satisfy the PC crowd [The army of darkness - PC (the doctrines of demons) is the opposite of the 10 Commandments].
I have no problem supporting Hobby Lobby. I know every dollar I spend at these places is like a "vote" for their companies beliefs. I just can't give my "vote" away freely to those I disagree with.
Sure, I'm not perfect by far. I'm sure I'm supporting things I'm unaware of. But I do shun those I know about, and I believe withholding my "vote" from a PC organization is a "vote" for the good guy!
I do my part.
Nice insight.
You bet. Listening to the news yesterday was like living in another dimension.
One high school kid who "feels like a girl" wants access to the girls shower room at school. 150 kids walked out of school to fight it, yet the school believes making one queer nut job feel good about himself while making the other 150 normal students suffer is beyond belief! In what sane country would something like this happen?
Planned Parenthood was busted for killing, dismembering, and selling the internal organs of human infants and the government gives them another $1 million in additional aid to kill even more! In what world does this make sense?
This poor woman just wants to keep her conscience clean and live out her life in faith, and she gets put in jail for being a Christian. Yet at the same time, homo perverts, killers, and rapists of certain races, nationality, or political affiliation are becoming a protected class? What happened to the planet Earth?
What about black lives matter? Inner city thugs get shot or die from a self inflicted illness and somehow the police who protect the lives of everyone else are considered the bad guys? What? really?
Then there's the nuke deal. We're actually paying Iran $11.9 billion to build a nuclear bomb to strike the U.S. and Israel as long as they promise not to do it until Oboma and the current batch of Democrats leave office. This is how out of control our leaders are! And the Republicans, who were given a major go ahead to stop Oboma from his evil rampage are sitting in their luxurious offices playing solitaire!
The U.S. government, and the courts, have all become possessed or something. It's like they're deliberately trying to destroy their own country for some reason.
Could someone please explain this upside down world to me? What the heck is happening to to peoples minds? Many voters actually support all this destruction, too. It's like they can't even see their hands in front of their faces.
Amen!
Let’s roll!
What are you talking about? Kim Davis is a practicing lesbian? Can you back that up?
AMEN !!!! AMEN!!!!! Standing right beside you brother!
Bump to the top.
No, that’s not what I wrote. What I wrote was be careful who you choose as a symbol, it can come back and bite you. Everybody was lifting the girl from the movie “Juno” onto their shoulders as positive role model. She came out about a year later as a woman homosexual. The people who put her up as a positive role model ended up with their egg on their face.
What does this fight for freedom look like?
Article VI, Clause 2 (the Supremacy Clause) of the U.S. Constitution, confirmed by the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, give individual states valid basis for nullifying and rejecting unconstitutional federal acts which by definition are acts of tyranny. Individual states must begin doing this, which, of course will mean those states must be ready for financial independence from the feds but of course that is the basis of America to begin with INDEPENDENCE.
Individual states must in good-faith nullify unconstitutional federal acts and notify the feds and the world why the nullified and rejected acts are unconstitutional. This is the only basis for further action which one would hope would not be needed unless necessary.
At some point, individual state secession may be necessary. The Declaration of Independence gives instruction and guidance for valid secession. The D of I shows valid secession 1) should not be for light or transient causes 2) requires a certain patient sufferance while evils are sufferable 3) notifying and submitting the facts of abuse to a candid world (27 specific abuses are listed in the D of I) and finally 4) When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such Government. This is not a constitutional dictate, but, as the D of I says, what Prudence, indeed, will dictate...
