Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (JN 8:32)
Christians are slaves of Christ. The world does not understand the freedom in slavery to Christ but we are free from the penalty of sin. What a paradox! The world instead is a slave to sin. Now that is true bondage! Again, what a paradox that the blind do not see!
A secular government can be composed of legislators who have biblical values and yet still not be a theocracy. Christians can and should be committed to a democracy and oppose sharia law. The imposition of sharia law is theocratic. Under sharia law, death is imposed for homosexuality. Activists should focus their energies on opposing that instead within the Middle East. Don't waste your time...more

Amen! The Truth stands independently of men's/women's personal opinions. An exceedingly wicked generation can poll 100% against same-sex marriage and still it is immoral. All the laws in the world may legalize it and yet it is still immoral. God has the last determination and no one should dare to challenge His dictates.

Need we remind ourselves how small man is in the face of an earthquake or tsunami? God speaks through nature and man trembles. Let's not fool ourselves into thinking how much control we have over our lives as we flaunt our sins. Time is short and judgment is coming!less
David0296--Another continued flaw in the analysis---there's the distinction between an immutable characteristic, like race, and sexual preference, which is not immutable, as proven by the existence of ex-homosexuals. So the correlation of interracial marriages to same-sex marriages does not support your argument,
The most educationally advanced people can struggle with addictions to sin. No one is immune. Truth does not need to be attractive and market savvy. Truth bears up to ridicule and scorn but remains truth. Truth does not sway with conventional wisdom and popular opinion polls. The reality is that Exodus International ministers hope, encouragement and support for many ex-homosexuals. The...more

Truth does not sway with conventional wisdom and popular opinion polls.
The reality is that Exodus International ministers hope, encouragement and support for many ex-homosexuals. They are living proof that homosexuality is a chosen lifestyle. They is why they are intolerantly rejected by the homosexual movement. Freedom from the bondage of homosexual addiction is true freedom that many would only dream of tasting.
So go laugh, scorn, ridicule,, and mock. Those who follow Christ in radicial obedience have spiritual peace, the hope of heaven, the forgiveness of sins and true Christian discipleship, All others merely have the temporary pleaures of sin for a season. How short-sighted!less
Obama and DOJ are in constant communication. Holder was nominated by Obama. Holder works at the whim of Obama. They have regular meetings all the time. The courts had no criteria for how DOMA was to be defended. In fact, it is the President's constitutional duty to defend the Laws of the land, not to interpret the law with his personal biases. No matter what the official appearance may be, ...more
Obama and DOJ are in constant communication. Holder was nominated by Obama. Holder works at the whim of Obama. They have regular meetings all the time. The courts had no criteria for how DOMA was to be defended. In fact, it is the President's constitutional duty to defend the Laws of the land, not to interpret the law with his personal biases. No matter what the official appearance may be, the unofficial chain of operations was such that Obama consulted with Holder whereby Obama's views were made known. Holder knew what to do & decided to abdicate his responsibility in defending the Laws of the land.
Pastor Jackson is correct--no human rights are violated by DOMA. Race is immutable. It is inherently born. Sexual preference and sexual behavior is chosen. One can choose to abstain or not to abstain. Sexual activity is not immutable. One can be a virgin for a lifetime. It is not impossible. Each person has the same rights to marry someone of the opposite sex. All persons have that same privilege. No one has the right to marry someone of the same sex. We are all equally bound by the same marriage laws. Once the redefinition of marriage is forced on society, then all boundaries of marriage are legally meaningless. The eventual challenges of all permutations of marriage relationships will not survive the legal challenges mounted upon them because there will be no logically relevant legal reasoning capable of success. If one wants to have get married to 2, 3 or 4 people in marriage, then what is stopping that? If one wants to get married to a horse, then there is no stopping that either. Once redefinition of marriage occurs, the tsunami will happen in court with all combinations of sexual preference groups under the sun challenging the current marriage laws to have their version of marriage made legal. There is no logical stopping point. Polygamy and incest advocates will successfully mount legal challenges to marriage laws when marriage laws are redefined.
Yes, the courts decide the constitutionality of our laws. But elected officials do have significant influence over who is nominated to serve on our courts. Case in point, Obama nominates radical liberals--Sotomayor and Kegan. Lesson learned---vote the liberal Democrats out of office.
DOMA and the religious test of sanctity---that is the weakest argument ever put forth to challenge DOMA. Marriage between one man and one woman is universally supported by atheists and agnostics alike. Five thousand years of civilization, the laws of biology, and mere common sense support the union of a male and a female in marriage.less
Please learn to distinguish between biblical description versus biblical prescription. The Bible describes the lifestyle choices of many people, warts and all. But the Bible also prescribes the proper boundaries within which certain behaviors are appropriate,

Are you struggling with unwanted same-sex attractions?
Maybe you have lived as a homosexual but now are looking for a way out.
You have come to the right place! For over thirty years, Exodus International has offered hope and help to people seeking freedom from homosexuality. We believe and we have seen in thousands of lives that this freedom is possible through the power of God working in our hearts and minds.
The bottom line – you don’t have to be gay! You can lead a life of fulfillment and holiness as God intended, a life far better than what you have experienced so far.

There is no human right to redefine marriage for the imposition of same-sex marriage upon society. The right to sin does not need to be enshrined as a human right in law. It ought to be stigmatized as such and seen as such. The shame belongs to the advocates of sin not to those who advocate biblical values.
Americans are sick and tired of blasphemy laws that persecute religious minorities in Islamic nations. Where are the protests of the American Muslims against such laws? Why the silence? They enjoy the religious freedoms in the U.S. but Christians do not have such freedoms in the Middle East. There should be a world-wide uprising against Sharia law and blasphemy laws.
It is presumptuous to assume that so-called "Christian films" cannot be used by God to reach a secular audience. Whoever said that all films must be targeted to the unbelieving world?
