Hm, people are gonna do what suits them...my opposition is, "why call it marriage?"
I don't know what your "it" is but I have several "it's.".
First and foremost, even though I'm not perfect, this shifting and changing of God's word to suit what people want is blowing my mind. There is definitely a spirit at work here that we need to pray against. I'm proud of what my state did yesterday. God's will prevailed. And there were some people who are gay on my FB minifeed asking people to pray that God would prevent it from passing. I couldn't believe it. And now a certain politician announced yesterday that he is supportive of this nonsense. I don't believe that people who are TRULY living for God would support it. Why should we support sin? And that's exactly what it is.
On a final and slightly random note, as a people I think we are speaking this "stuff" into existence. How many times do we hear someone just see a guy and declare that he's gay? Or a woman. Seems like every other "secret" revealed about someone famous is that they are gay. We know that we speak things into existence and I think we need to stop speaking that into existence.
Okay rant over.
aw man i didn't see this thread. whoops started another one oh well
No, not the natural one.
Shimmie, I was at school when I saw the "breaking news" on CNN. I just shook my head. But I am so not surprised. Not at all.
In that moment, I also thought about you. Because I know how passionate you are about the issue.
I just remember that God is the ultimate supreme ruler. He has the final say in all matters. His ways are just and good. What happened yesterday is not about equality for anyone (for goodness sakes, look at the timing of this), it is about politics pure and simple. Thank God that His ways are higher than ours. Tis all...

I am talking about spiritual FIRE.
You have 'it' when you talk about some subjects like it.
God is the ultimate judge..it's all politricks; at the end of the day we ought to hate what God hates and that is sin ...
I read this "Folks, it's time to get in the ark, the rain is coming!!"
I remember hearing a word that goes with what @Nicola.kirwan posted concerning the dividing line......
2012 would be the year where you truly find out where you stand with God. This is the year where you will have to choose which side you are on. All the lukewarmness would get exposed. You are either hot or cold. The pressure is here and it is only going to increase.
Num. 6:24 The Lord bless you and keep you;25 the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.You just know me all too well.
Yeah... it's definitely 'fire'.
Call 911 ... Prayer Team
It's a dividing line. And it forces people to stand on one side or the other.
Num. 6:24 The Lord bless you and keep you;25 the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
Thank you, Crown. I love that scripture.
Just now as I was replying to you, this came into my spirit...
'Be still ....... and know that I am God.' (Psalm 46)
I love this verse... I just wish I could abide by it with the things I am dealing with in my life...
Ladies, when I say this I am serious. We got to seek the face of God like never before. Away with the cares of the world, and our emotions. The bible speaks about when judgement was about to come upon the face of the land, that they called for the "mourning women". Women who laid before God and cried out for mercy for the nations. We still have this power, we still have this same access. Trouble is coming...let's prepare for war.......
OUT OF CONTROL.
Well I vented on LHCF about a week ago. Homosexuality is everywhere, BOLD BRAZEN IN YO FACE, in songs, on the television, all in public, on the job. Its the loudest most clarion announcement of confusion. And we know who the author of confusion is. . .
All of these churches that collect T&O need to do what God said with the money.
I think a lot of people did. And honestly, even though the company is pretending to be free-thinking and changing with the times, the way they did it tells me that they were straddling the fence. They created an image that could be viewed ambiguously.^^that's what that is..I thought it was a mother, daughter and granddaughter ...
I saw this too. I was disgusted by it.JC Penny's Mother's Day Ad... Lesbian couple (another example)
http://www.towleroad.com/2012/05/jc-penney-still-wont-kowtow-to-anti-gay-conservatives.html
C Penney garnered plenty of right-wing criticism last year for its decision to hire Ellen DeGeneres as a celebrity spokesperson. Then, earlier this month, those same conservatives -- allied under the American Family Association's "One Million Moms" campaign -- shook their collective fist at the retailer for including a lesbian couple and their children in a recent catalogue.
JC Penney, however, refuses to give up. Commercial Observer reports that JC Penney, about to open a new location in New York's Soho neighborhood, is standing by their LGBT support, and in doing so they celebrate lesbian mothers everywhere.

A child is formed by a man and woman... not man and man nor woman and woman.
The start of being a mother is conception of a man's sperm into her egg.
Two eggs cannot fertilize to make a child. Two sperms cannot fertilize to make a child.
No offense to Ellen, but JCPenny's needs to get rid of her as their sponsor.
I am not surprised at all about "it". Obama has always been friends with gays.
But he has just sealed it and confirmed who he really is.
I can't imagine how this world would be in 50 years. We are really at the end of times.
Jesus please come soon!!!
We need to pray for our children.
When I first saw the picture, I immediately thought "gay" because of Ellen Dengeres and "freedom of expression" across the front of the ad. I didn't see Ellen as the grandma. The little girl on the ad looks so lost/confused.Poohbear...
Question: When you 'first' saw the picture, how did it 'appear' to you? Did you think it was what it has now been revealed? I actually thought it was a Mom/Daughter/Granddaughter.
And you know what? I don't remember seeing any men in this catalog at all, which is another ploy to throw people off. Usually there is a husband in a Mother's Day picture with the children showing love to 'Mom'.
By using all women, it's a deflection. I don't think Penny's is ready to lose 'all' of their customers by being too open all at once. They purposely did not have the gay couple on the front of the catalog.
