I wish I had seen this much earlier! On the other hand, what do you say to someone who just picks through a paragraph, and find the bits and pieces that he wants to make an argument with? Maybe he's 12. Yes, that must be it.

That's not for people following Christianity to decide, since they should have already known that the world was going to get more and more wicked as time goes on.

What amazes me is how people want to take the Bible and rework it to be accepting of gay people. Or rather, the behavior of gay people. Every time homosexuality is mentioned in the Bible, it's mention in a bad light. Not just in a bad light, it flat out says don't do these things. So, where is the confusion? If you don't want to listen to what the Bible says, then don't. But stop trying to rework it to say something else. I could care less about the political agendas. Make all the rules you want that benefit gay people. Just stop trying to tamper with the Bible.
You assume that it has not already been tampered with?

Sin of the flesh only points to sin in the spirit. If a person of the spirit is condemning a person who commits acts in the flesh, then the person who is committing homosexuality in the flesh is better than he who commits it is the spirit and this is why it is said,'' Two men in a bed, one taken, the other left behind.''


These two men were in a spiritual marriage of two men, although they are one person. When God comes, he should find a submissive virgin to the will of the spirit and this perfect union brings about sons. A man submits the will of the spirit because he knows all his imaginations are evil and so he brings his desires and the fruits of his flesh under authority and begins to use his body in love which produces the fruit of the spirit instead of the fruit of the flesh. This is done under surrender to the will of the spirit.




Living by the Spirit


16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.


19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.


ENVYINGS, Murderers that commit murder simply by judging and hating their brothers in unforgiveness, strife, hatred, and sheer hatred at that when the supposed righteous judge their brethren.










22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
24And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.




If God comes and finds two men in a bed, it is because he expected to find a very humble female whose sins are every before her face, and she is trying to submit and to be a true servant of God.


Instead, he finds the vain, the proud, and all he great false prophets of judgment who think they are men who should judge anyone at all, it is they in the first place to whom God has come, because God will take the weakest and the worst to prove all mankind is evil.






WHERE IS THE SUPPOSED RIGHTEOUS MAN, BRING HIM UP SO THAT WE MAY LOOK UPON THAT BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR WHO HAS NO SIN, OR ONE WHO THINKS HIMSELF ABOVE ANYONE, AND I WILL SHOW YOU A HOMOSEXUAL BY THE SPIRIT.


which is worse, He who comits adultery against his wife, or he who commits adultery against God?
Which is worse, He who will not submit to a marriage he is in BECAUSE he supposes himself the male spirit instead of the submissive bride?


There is the alter, let him be cut in half from head to toe so that all may walk amongst the half to see what he is through and through and through,


Let him be beheads and let us put the head in it's place, gather ye the intestines, and let them be put in their place and then gather the heart and let the 3 be judged by the intentions of himself.


Was he behead fro Christ or died he move along the grass as a serpent upon his belly because from his intestine rules his whole creature and all will see it.


What says the head and the heart, is man a man truly ready to have his head cut off, and then viewed by his intent or doe he know himself? Know thyself.


What this truly a man who was lain down in a sleep of death to obtain a bride? Such a reward DEMANDS sacrifice, if the Holy spirit cannot come, the man is still alive, how can the spirit come, or the spirit for the bride lest the water and blood testify and create a bride?


Two man grinding at the wheel.


Not a good thing.


That man should be cut asunder, and for what?


God came and there was two men INSTEAD of a male spirit and a submissive RIGHTEOUS BRIDE woe could hear the voice of the bridegroom, and he hears her voice, woe be unto those against the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, she bears are such that no other animals love their children more.


When the righteous brides will bear their sons, the dragons come out as they do, but the bears and wolves all stalk them and as they flee from one, and to rest their hand upon a wall, there shall be a viper, and there shall be no escape from the mother of all mothers, the first born son has come and the earth will open it's mouth against who sons. Beware of a bear, a wolf, a snake, or any poisonous thing, because a mother loves her son, and people actually think that Mother nature isn't true, karma is true, and it will find you. You become a son of this Earth and the Earth will you, ask of it what you will.

Yet society allows GAMBLING, Psychics, DRUNKARDS/ALCOHOL, ADULTERY, RACKETEERING, FRAUD, BLASPHEMY, (even elected a person guilty of each of these) and a whole host of other "sin" for which there is no protests or laws being written to deny the continuance of these sins..

Pushing the agenda of CHRIST....

Are you still using FEAR and INTIMIDATION to sell your god's plan of "salvation?"

Christ doesn't know whence you come from, as your garments are soiled.

Maybe it's not as much about protesting as it is in just wanting to have a say in our society. We are voting Americans.

In my state I've personally engaged in anti-gambling campaigning. We don't have casinos here and there have been out-of-state interests with paid petitioners that I have met.

As for the rest of it? I don't engage in them and I have preached against all of them.

Have you DENIED or encouraged others to deny service to those who participate in these "sins?"
