Gene Robinson said “It never occurred to anyone in ancient times that a certain minority of us would be born being affectionately-oriented to people of the same sex”. Who is included in this “anyone”? Is God? Is Paul? God certainly knew then and knows today the depravity of the heart of man! Depraved Robinson added that the reporter’s “question would take about two days to answer, but to explain simply...the passage – like any other in the Bible – needs to be understood in its own context.” It may take Robinson two days to explain the passage but it only takes a short time to read these verses and the meaning of God’s Word is not hard to understand! Romans 1:24 -27 “Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”

His reply was, ‘I'm glad that man died’. ‘Why?’ I asked. ‘Because he's a Christian and English and we're Muslim’.” “The case continues.” If this is like a lot of news one will never read of it again.

Australian Professor Dr Sotirios Sarantakos published a well-researched paper, Children In Three Contexts, in 1996. His extensive research included children within co-habiting heterosexual couples, same-sex couples and heterosexual married couples. The research concluded that the best environment for the social and educational development of a child was within the surroundings of a heterosexual married family. WAKE UP IOWA!

http://www.ottumwacourier.com/local/local_story_042004643.html February 10, 2010 COUPLE REACTS TO FAILED EFFORT TO BAN GAY MARRIAGE (Edited by DCB) – It should not be news because it should never have happened but it did. Sodomite Jenni Lathan-Hormann is “happy” the Iowa State legislature “failed this week to force a vote on the issue in an effort to amend the Iowa Constitution and ban gay marriage.” Where are Iowans finding their elected officials? Even in sodomite relationships there is a husband and wife for “Jenni and her wife, Sonya Hormann, of Ottumwa, were married in May, only a few days after the Iowa Supreme Court unanimously agreed to legalize same-sex marriage.’ So here we have two women acting like a “normal” couple with one claiming to be the “wife”. Therefore it must mean the other is the “husband”! Listen to Romans 1:26 “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.”
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/61231 AIRPORT BODY SCANNERS VIOLATE THE TEACHINGS OF ISLAM, SAYS MUSLIM GROUP 11 February, 2010 (Edited by DCB) –The very group of people who are the reason for these security measures says “It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women.” The Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) “says it supports airline safety, but it is ‘deeply concerned’ about the use of airport scanners that show nude images of the human body.” FCNA said “While exceptions can be made in cases of ‘extreme necessity,’ FCNA indicated that passenger body scans do not rise to that level.” The FCNA has advised Muslims to “choose pat-down searches over scanner images – in cases where searches are necessary.” It will be interesting to see who is pulled aside and who is not pulled aside to go through these scanners at airports.

A GREEK CRISIS IS COMING TO AMERICA 10 February 2010 (Edited by DCB) – Greece is in deep financial danger but with a President that throws money around like there is no tomorrow, credit rating Moody’s Investors Service has warned the triple A credit rating of the United States “should not be taken for granted.” Larry Summers, now director of the National Economic Council, asked this question before he went to work for Obama “How long can the world’s biggest borrower remain the world’s biggest power?” Good question but from what has taken place one would wonder if anyone in this present US administration understands simple economics!

Thankfully the taxpayer gets some reprieve as the detail and implementation of how such a tax would work could take longer.

Because of Calvary,
