National Organization for Marriage to Protest Same-Sex Weddings Statewide this Sunday

• Why one of the two thieves hanged with Jesus choose to go to Hell Leviticus 18:21-24 KJV  And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.  (22)  Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.  (23)  Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.  (24)  Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you In that era at the part of the world it would've been well known to people that any violation would prohibit a person from being welcomed by God into paradise. Matthew 27:38-44 MKJV  Then two thieves were crucified with Him, one off the right, one off the left.  (39)  And those who passed by blasphemed Him, shaking their heads,  (40)  and saying, You destroying the temple and building it in three days, save yourself. If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.  (41)  And in the same way also the chief priests mocked, with the scribes and elders, saying,  (42)  He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.  (43)  He trusted in God, let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him. (For He said, I am the Son of God.)  (44)  And also the thieves who were crucified with Him reviled Him, saying the same. The chief priests mocked him saying that they doubt that God would have Jesus, if that was the general consensus amongst Elders, scribes, and chief priests there could be no doubt about homosexuals being unwelcome by God. Luke 23:39-43 MKJV  And one of the hanged criminals blasphemed Him, saying, If you are Christ, save Yourself and us.  (40)  But answering, the other rebuked him, saying, Do you not fear God, since you are in the same condemnation.  (41)  And we indeed justly so, for we receive the due reward of our deeds, but this Man has done nothing amiss.  (42)  And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.  (43)  And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise. One of the hanged criminals asked to be free of his punishment, not a place in Paradise with Jesus. It is here where the criminal gives away that he has no doubt that he is beyond saving. He continues to blaspheme Jesus instead of showing fear of God. Mark 15:27-32 MKJV  And with Him they crucified two thieves, the one off the right, and one off the left.  (28)  And the Scripture was fulfilled which said, "And he was numbered with the lawless."  (29)  And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, Aha! You razing the temple and building it in three days,  (30)  save yourself and come down from the cross!  (31)  And also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes, said to one another, He saved others but he cannot save himself.  (32)  Let Christ the King of Israel now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe. And they who were crucified with Him insulted Him. Here the scribes testify to Jesus saving others, but only one of the hanged thieves shows fear of God. It is here where the thief who goes to hell by choice shows that he had already accepted that he would not be welcomed by God. This is a private interpretation and is inspired by the Three Crosses placed alongside the highway in Mid-Michigan during the late 80's-early90's, by a person who made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, while never declaring a reason what the act of the display meant.  

• Thanks for the emphasis on the resurrection.  It is Christ's resurrection power that enables the believer to live a new life. Many an individual has gotten victory over additive sexual sin through the power of Christ. The resurrection is the Father's stamp of approval on the righteousness and vicarious death of Christ.

• Funny...I was always taught that the glory was in His resurrection because that meant the price for our sins had been paid. Strange what people glean from Christianity these days...

• There are two kingdoms in this world, The kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness.  In the kingdom of darkness man is the measure of all things and everyone does what is right in his own eyes.   In the kingdom of light our Creator rules, and what delights His heart delights ours and what is an abomination in His eyes is an abomination in ours.  In the kingdom of God the sexual sins of fornication, adultery, beastiality, child molestation and the unnatural sin of homosexuality are to be repented of as men pursue the likeness of Christ. Thank God that the gospel of His Son has the answer to all of our sin.  There is nothing more glorious than the representative righteousness and death of Jesus the Messiah.

• If you show up to protest NOM, make sure and bring a bunch of signs that say things like "Who's Funding NOM?" and "Investigate NOM for Criminal Campaign Finance Violations" and "Why Won't NOM Tell Us Who's Giving Them Money?" and if by chance you should talk to a reporter, be sure and raise the issue of NOM's funding, their constant breaking of campaign law even after they've been ordered by courts to comply, and why they keep engaging in criminal behavior. Demand to know "Where's the donor's list?" as NOM is legally obligated to provide, and in state after state refuse to do so, even after they've been ordered to by the courts.  Does Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown get to use their bigoted phony front as their own personal slush fund, or do we start demanding that they be held to the exact same laws as everyone else?

• It's funny how this photo of anti-gay bigots actually looks like a photo of a same sex couple on their wedding day!  And come on...Brian Brown looks particularly fay in that picture!

• Ooooh, politicians decided for the good of their constituents and stopped pulling that Republican Anti-American theocrat-fascist cr*p and now that's all bad??? Welcome to the 21st century New York!!!

•  There were irregular and illegal procedures to railroad this law through.  72 hours to digest the bill when they were only given 2 hours and no time limits on debate when they were limited to 2 minutes are just 2 of them.  Add to that, the reps WERE LOCKED IN and then tell me 'Swartslaura' , "It has been approved".  Congress CAN vote for this to go to an amendment.  One-person, one-vote. If it passes then you can say 'it has been approved'  

• I am truly ashamed to be (originally) from one of the cities that will be hosting a march of protest against same sex marriage! Shame on you Rochester!! It has been approved....deal with it!!! Leave these people in peace to enjoy their big day!!

• NOMbags. That is all.

• It's so unfair to vicious gay-bashing bigots that anti-gay discrimination in marriage is coming to an end!   How could anybody expect them to have anything better to do than to protest this coming Sunday?  It's not as if there were any soup kitchens in need of volunteers to help feed the poor, you know!  And even if there were, why would Maggie Gallagher, Brian Brown and Reverend Ruben Diaz want to help feed the poor, when they could instead by doing the more important work of protesting the end of sexual orientation apartheid?  I actually did call the confused Senator/Reverend/Whatssit's office, and asked, why does Senator Diaz think it's more important to protest equality than to help feed the poor?  His staffer told me "Because the Senator is a Reverend, and he is bound by the Bible."  So if you are in Senator Diaz's district on Sunday, and happen to see any homeless people on the streets, or poor people obviously in need of better assistance - remember - their State Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz couldn't be there to help them, because he is bound by the Bible to protest love.

• If you were a municipal cesspool, you couldn't possibly be more full of shit that NOM's Maggie Gallagher.  Her fraudulent and oft-repeated claim that marriage equality "diminishes" her marriage is like my saying that her grotesque obesity diminishes my thinness.
