When "Gay Day" Comes Your Way ~ Results Of The Homosexual Rite Being Law Pt. 3

Freedom Of Speech, Religion & The New Gay Rights

Aside from the NCAA final Four one of the most hotly contested situations in Indiana this weekend is the states position of the intersection of freedom of speech, free exercise of religion and values, and the implementation of gay rights as defined by gay advocacy groups including Lambda Legal, GLAAD, the HRC (Human Rights Campaign), and the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union).

In short, the Indiana legislature took it upon themselves to look back nearly 22 years into American history adopting their version of The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) which reiterates policies that both political liberals and conservatives all agreed upon at a time in American history...that No one has a right to infringe on the closely held beliefs and religious freedoms of anyone else in America, nor does anyone have the right to force another, through law or otherwise, to set aside their religious freedoms and values in order to satisfy the whims of another group or class of people without "compelling interest".

Indiana Governor Mike Pence

Before the ink was dry, the Indiana law was was under attack. Indiana Governor Mike Pence was denigrated and the legislative efforts of Indiana Lawmakers was touted by gay advocacy groups as racist, discriminatory, archaic, and insulting to the gay community. The misrepresentation of the law was so fever pitched, that major corporations threatened to boycott the NCAA basketball tournament, (which has nothing to do with the laws of the State).

Governors of other states, in efforts to look good, cancelled state sponsored trips to Indiana for bona-fide business purposes, and major news organizations, whose correspondents I believe purposely misreported the law(1) as being bigoted, placed all their efforts on examining the law with over the top skepticism, un-objective journalism, and rank criticism. The governor of Indiana, looking like a rag doll caught by the cat, was overwhelmed trying to balance his political career with his moral values. At times seeming to explain that the law really meant nothing... In all, it seems that anyone, who voiced their opinion in support of the law, was met with public shame, wrath and indignation sparked by false reporting, misrepresentations and an absurd view of closely held American rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Due to this confusion, the State of Arkansas, before they could even roll out a similar law, began to backtrack and modify its position due to fear of continued media backlash, and because Arkansas corporate giant Walmart, said that they were displeased....WHAT???

When "Gay Day" Comes Your Way ~ The Homosexual Rite Becomes Law

Special thanks to Sister Pat, a regular contributor and reader of the Dunamis Word. Thanks Sister Pat for lookin' out and bringing conditions in California to my attention and may the Lord continue to bless you and the family is our prayer!

One of the most controversial subjects of modern times is homosexual rights. President Elect Barack Obama has clearly and unequivocally stated that although he doesn't believe in homosexual marriage he is a firm believer in "Civil Unions" of same-sex couples. These "Civil Unions" would effectively have all property rights, insurance rights and rights of ownership that heterosexual marriages do today. In effect the term "Civil Unions" only becomes a smokescreen or at best a precursor for same sex marriage. Might I remind you of President Obama's own words regarding his view of scripture on the issue of homosexual unions:

"I am not willing to have the state deny American citizens a civil union that confers equivalent rights on such basic matters as hospital visitation or health insurance coverage simply because the people they love are of the same sex – nor am I willing to accept a reading of the Bible that considers an obscure line in Romans to be more defining of Christianity than the sermon on the mount." ~ Sen. Barack H. Obama

Now, I believe that any number of websites have put together clear arguments on why homosexuality and homosexual marriage is contrary to God's word. I have set forth a clear argument on the subject on our sister site The Dunamis Word 2 under Homosexuality & The New Testament. The Bible is clear on it's message without question and for President Obama to say that any scripture regarding this subject is obscure or limited to Romans is either a misunderstanding of scripture or a total perversion of scripture. As smart as President Obama appears to be I doubt if the scripture has been misunderstood.

Nevertheless, what I want to focus on at this crucial and critical time is the real cost at ground level for allowing this SIN (not to be confused with a Civil Right) to proliferate within the church and community. As science scrambles to find a genetic link to homosexual behavior, there has been a more dangerous and ominous banner that has been carried by the educational system to promote imagery and the acceptance of gay and lesbian lifestyles under the name of "diversity" and "multicultural awareness" programs.
