California Supreme Court overturns gay marriage ban
In a 4-3 decision, the justices rule that people have a fundamental 'right to marry' the person of their choice and that gender restrictions violate the state Constitution's equal protection guaranteeBy Maura Dolan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer | May 16, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO — The California Supreme Court struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage Thursday in a broadly worded decision that would invalidate virtually any law that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation.
The 4-3 ruling declared that the state Constitution protects a fundamental "right to marry" that extends equally to same-sex couples. It tossed a highly emotional issue into the election year while opening the way for tens of thousands of gay people to wed in California, starting as early as mid-June...
"And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel." —1st King 14:24
God created Adam and Eve; NOT Adam and Steve! The Bible calls homosexuality (referred to as "sodomy" in the Old Testament) an "abomination," i.e., hatred for a sin coupled with disgust. Homosexuality is not only sinful, it is horribly disgusting in the eyes of God. Leviticus 20:13 warns... "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." This is what the Bible, God's Word, teaches!
This week, the state of California's Supreme Court ruled to allow same-sex marriage...
Woe unto America!!! Gays can now legally marry in the state of California. Sick! California has certainly lived up to it's reputation as "the granola state" (i.e., the land of fruits and nuts). Whether it be false cults, financial scams, sexual immorality, or weirdoes—California seems to produce a steady supply of them. It is no secret that San Francisco has a high concentration of homosexuals. San Francisco is a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah...
Gays have already sought and received affirmative action recognition, in San Francisco, for instance, where 20% of all city appointments have been granted to homosexuals, and in Seattle, where the police department has established hiring quotas for gay officers.
I cant help but think immediately of California when I read the following Scripture...
Song Of Solomon 6:11, “I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded.”
Can you imagine a city so wicked that careers are provided for people simply because they're homosexual, while no such provisions exist for born-again Christians? This is evil. There was a time in America when an employer would hire someone who was a Christian, because they knew they were hiring a trustworthy employee. Nowadays, taxpayers are forced to support homosexuals, regardless of their personal character or skills. This is wrong. Homosexuals are demented and immoral people. Fifty years ago in America, psychologists considered homosexuality a disease!
The homosexual agenda has infested American culture, corrupting our nation. From the Food Network to Home and Garden TV, homosexuals are being featured to maintain political correctness. The tragic result is that society is being desensitized to the evils of homosexuality. Gay-marriage is rebellion and sin against God. No one is born gay, because God doesn't make mistakes.
No doubt, it's just a matter of time until gay-marriage becomes allowable under federal law. God will not bless a nation that honors homosexual marriages. Gay marriage is a grim act of rebellion against the God of the Bible. Sin always undermines a nation. America is damned of God because of our nation's slaughter of nearly 50,000,000 human beings by abortion, because of our nation's warmongering and bloodshed of innocent people in other countries, and for our tolerance and promotion of homosexual marriages. We are a wicked nation of booze, gambling, lewd dancing, and materialism. Television is rightfully called "hellivision." We've even renamed one of our biggest cities "SIN CITY" to spite God. Yet we hypocritically sing... "God Bless America!" No Sir! ... God Damn America! We certainly deserve to be punished severely for our wickedness.
God is a patient and loving God,
Who according to 2nd Peter 3:9 "...is longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
God hates homosexuality, which is a horrible sin; but He loves all sinners,
so much that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to
die for their sins (John 3:16-18).
Same-sex Marriage is a Sin!
I do not publish articles like this to be unkind; but rather, to take a stand for what the Word of God teaches is right. Someone needs to stand for the truth! The wicked aren't going to do it. It is the responsibility of every born-again Christian to expose Satan's works of darkness (Psalm 94:16; Ephesians 5:11). Gay-marriage is of the Devil. Homosexuality is gross, it is tastelessly indecent and just plain wrong, and cities who cater to homosexuals are deplorable places for decent people who love the Lord to live. Gays didn't come out of the closet, they came out of a cesspool of iniquity.
While most people today are becoming sympathetic and acceptant of homosexuals in society, Christians must be vigilant to criticize and cry aloud against such wickedness. Homosexuality is a sin.
The "gay life" is short, lonely, and filled with cheating, insecurity, disease, and danger. Although held captive by sexual addiction rather than brick and bars, homosexuals exhibit many of the same psychological traits as those imprisoned in death camps. The pathologies of homosexuals fit the traditional social-psychiatric view: Happiness and well-being are earned through social and sexual productivity, not "sexual freedom."

Same-sex marriage is a sin. Children ought not be taught that homosexuality is acceptable and tolerant. God hates the sin of homosexuality, and has pronounced judgment upon homosexuals in Romans 1:24-32. Yet, God dearly loves each and every person, and is not willing for anyone to perish in their sins (2nd Peter 3:9). If Lot couldn't win the men of Sodom by calling them "brethren" (Genesis 19:7), then neither will Christians today win homosexuals to Christ by accepting them.
