Ex-Pro Football player defends marriage

[Shimmie]

I feel that the media is trying to force feed a lifestyle to us that we don't want, and when we decline they get angry. Though the West Boro Baptist Church isn't helping the Christian cause any and when the media talks about gay rights being threatened they always use them as the Christian example and how we hate everybody, smh.

But, in church yesterday, the minister said that all bad things aren't always put in motion by the devil, sometimes it's put in place by God. He's testing us and our faith, he wants us to cleave to Him and find the way out of the foolishness.

Good post.

Oh, and David Tyree is in my prayers today
as the fiery darts come. http://twitter.com/#!/dtyree85

How ironic his name is David and he played for the Giants.

Sorry OP, I'll get off my soapbox now. God bless...

This is awesome, Laela... I like this, alot. A wonderful revelation.

DH watched the vids last night and we had a healthy discussion about the lack of black MEN OF GOD speaking up on marriage today.

The women are all over that.. Well, I believe it's something that's overdue, esp in the black community! Folks can't always depend on ordained ministers to speak up for us.

Anyone who accepts Jesus as Lord of their life has a ministry..it's part of the Great Commission. Wherever we go/ wherever we stand is our pulpit. There's no need to hide behind the cloth, behind vocal community leaders, spiritual Harriet Tubmans.

It's not good enough to be a cheerleader. All is required is trust in God...when we open our mouths, He will speak plainly for us. Matthew 10:20 because, the persecutions WILL come.

Amein

God told the prophet, Be not afraid of their faces. Speak what I tell you.

Of course the devil is waiting to try and stiffle God's Truth; he can't handle the Truth... (sorry, been watching Jack Nicholson - Men of Honour -- )

I have never been afraid to speak up. The devil is gonna hate me anyway, so I may as well make it well worth it. :reddancer: All he can do is 'flee' from me'.

No apologies needed. Go where ever the Spirit leads you.

Your information is eye-opening and needs to be exposed. Satan and his minions are clever at deceiving those that lack discernment.

Your information has been a blessing to me and I'm sure to others.

First, I apologize for posting so much in your thread. It does 'tie' together.

My focus on preserving the pureness of Marriage is very strong. I've been studying the 'enemy's strategy for quite some time. Marriage is my Ministry and I'm fighting to uphold it's true meaning. gays don't get to have this.

Your thread just opened up a flood gate of the years of studying and researching information that I've been looking into regarding this issue.

Thanks for allowing me to share. I have lots more, but the Lord is re-directing me for a 'minute'.

Love and blessings to you.

 

[Laela]

Yes, floodgates opened. lol this is good, healthy discussion for the country. The responses by gay Christians is astounding. This nation needs prayer, Christians and non-Christians alike, that God would heal this country. An open wound heals faster than one covered up by band-aid.

They are driven by a demonic spirit; one in high places; it is spirit of control that is vicious. It literally 'spits' upon the Holiness of God and His order.
There is so much conspiracy going on, especially in politics which is more corrupt than ever.

On one hand, they are cleverly using the 'human pain' side of gays as their pawn, ace in the hole, ( I said 'ace' ) to place guilt upon citizens and on the other hand, pressure upon lobbyists and delegates and senators, and governors, and mayors AND the President.

They even denied citizens the right to vote on the gay marriage issue in Washington DC. This information was posted in 2009:

Marriage Matters!

With wealthy gay activists mobilizing all across the country to legalize homosexual marriage, there's never been a more important time to preserve and protect marriage in the District of Columbia once and for all. Marriage has served as the foundation of society and the bedrock of families for millennia.

Marriage brings the two complementary halves of society together to create binding commitments for themselves, for their children and for all of civilization. Marriage deserves to be preserved and protected from special interest groups and politicians who would redefine the institution in order to satisfy small, but vocal groups of gay marriage activists. Marriage is and has always has been between a man and a woman.

There are important reasons to keep it so. Marriage binds men and women together and creates the ideal situation for nurturing and rearing children. While death and divorce too often prevent it, the ideal situation for children is to be raised by a married father and mother. Children need both a mother and a father. Every same-sex relationship involving children intentionally denies children either a mother or a father. Marriage Matters!

This past May, the District Council passed a law providing for homosexual marriages performed elsewhere to be recognized as a valid marriage in the District of Columbia. This law was passed without meaningful opportunity for debate or even notice to the public. Council representatives refused to allow voters to cast ballots on this critical issue before it was rushed into law.

Unfortunately, the District's Board of Elections prevented citizens from pursuing a referendum on this issue, denying voters the right to have their own say.

Now, some Council members are vowing to go further and attempt to legalize homosexual marriage in the District itself. If they succeed, there will be profound consequences to citizens.

Marriage Matters! It is time for the People of the District of Columbia to be able to decide whether homosexual marriage should be legalized. Voters in 30 states have already been able to decide this issue themselves, and it is high time that voters in the District of Columbia be able to do so as well.

A voter initiative has been filed to preserve and protect traditional marriage. Backed by a coalition of community, civic and religious leaders of every faith, the "Defense of Marriage Initiative" will ensure that marriage in the District of Columbia will remain as it always has been - between a man and a woman.

Preserving marriage as it has always been understood is not an attack on gays.

Gay couples in the District of Columbia already have full legal rights under our extensive domestic partnership laws.

Rather, the Defense of Marriage Initiative is an affirmation of marriage as an essential element of society.

Please join with us today to support traditional marriage and the Defense of Marriage Initiative. Demand that your voice be heard and that voters be allowed to decide this issue for themselves!

Please support Stand for Marriage D.C. now!

Well to bring this up to date...DC has illegally legalized gay marriage

The thank you button was not enough!

Christians especially really need to open their eyes and discern the devil's strategy. This demonic force is indeed an attack on what God ordained and created between a man and woman and how society should function on this earthly realm.

I truly believe this is one of the reasons why so many women, especially black women are single in this day in age.

Delightful2Him

Thanks so much for sharing this.

I am but two hot seconds from smacking the arrogance off of that CNN 'woman' reporter. Who does she think she is...? :hardslap: Is David Tyree not allowed to hold true to his faith and beliefs.

Let me go public. Soon enough I will and I absolutely DARE anyone to challenge the Truth that I believe which is God.

Here's a news flash... gays don't rule. God does. gays are walking upon God's earth and upon His grace over their lives. Their agenda will never 'trump' the will of God. They cannot change God's order.

Changing the definition of marriage is all about stupidity and satan's arrogance against God and God's love for humanity. This is satan's stone against the Cross and the Blood Covenant of Jesus, saying, 'Is this what you died for? Yet the answer from Jesus will always be yes, for Jesus does indeed love gays as He loves All of God's creation.

In Marriage, God's word is clear, "Thy Word O' God is forever settled in Heaven' (Psalm 119) God ordained marriage between a man and a woman and made it clear, 'For this cause, shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife'.

NOT a man should leave and cleave unto a man NEITHER should a woman leave and cleave unto another woman. Jesus, Himself made this clear and it's not changing.

Another thing: I've had it the fearful victim reactions on the media. NOW Tracey Morgan was 'dead' wrong for what he said in his comic stint...'dead wrong' No one deserves to be 'killed' for being gay; they need Jesus who died for them and their sin.

However, I've had it with the gays on the media acting as if they are sooooo afraid of everyone who expresses their feelings anti-gay.

Now --- Tracey Morgan is doing an Isaiah Washington which is ONLY for FEAR of losing his job with NBC is 'changing' his views and is now out to support the gay agenda (GLAAD). Just say you're sorry and don't say it again. Don't be an even bigger fool and join them.

So now Tracey Morgan is no more than a 'slave', with a 'ring in his nose' and a noose around his neck, being dragged through the mud to do their bidding.

Ummmmmmmmm, guess what Tracey? Just like actor Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy, who went to therapy for being anti-gay -- they're gonna fire you anyway. They're gonna string you up on the gay tree and linch you as an Ex-Sample to anyone else 'Black' in Hollywood, who even dare tries to oppose or offend them. Then what?

I'm still not liking how the owner of Chick Fil A backed down from supporting 'pure marrage' so as not to offend gays. Is not God his leader, provider and protector? I eat enough of his waffle fries to keep him in business.

Too many Christians are backing down for fear of appearing adversarial or non-Christian. One can still be a loving and supportive Christian without fear or compromising their faith and belief in God's word. Since when is supporting a gay lifestyle more Christian than one who does not support it? erplexed

At least Brother Tyree is not backing down. GOOD FOR HIM! He KNOWS that God is his source, not gays nor anyone else.

AND gays better STOP trying to compair their struggles to that of Blacks. They cannot come near it and they never will. The gay community and their agenda is not about Blacks, it's about them... gays and no other culture. Please don't even try to put my struggles on the same level. It's not!

Here the message... Anyone who takes a stand for righteousness will always have an attack launched against them...nevertheless... "No weapon formed against them shall prosper; every tongue that rises against them in judgement shall be condemned'....proven wrong.

My question to the media: How is it the same? How is a gay marriage the same as that between a man and a woman?

It's not and will never be.

AND "Iniquity -- the lying media --- shall shut 'her' mouth'.

I challenge you to a duel.

No you don't. The weapons of my warfare are not carnal.

End of non-discussion.

Caught some Hagee today with a sermon on marriage, part of a series he's doing. Got a few chuckles, but the core of the message: Marriage is very important to God.

Some notes:

When God sees a married man and woman, the two become one in His eyes.
Hagee's chuckle: "After 30 years, you start looking alike, talking alike, thinking alike..sigh.."

Sexual immorality not only covers beastiality, adultery, homosexuality, but also includes impropriety in attire. Hmmm...
Haggee's chuckle: "I've learned, the older you get, the more clothes you need."

Food for Thought from Hagee: A married couple is like mashed potatoes...there is no telling the potatoes apart, once you make it. You take two individual potatoes, you wash them, peel them, slice them up, and put them in boiling water (tests). Then you take the potato masher and mash them,add some milk and butter, and some salt. When you’re done, can they be separated into two individual potatoes? Well, you can make two separate helpings out of them, but each helping takes a part of both potatoes with them.

I pray God blesses me with a 30 + year marriage.
