Do God's Work and all Your Needs will be Met | Fri May 23, 2014 12:22 am by Camille | God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.
Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

| Subject: Does Abortion or Same Sex Marriage Create a Theocracy? Fri Jul 19, 2013 7:57 pm | |
| Opposition to abortion or same-sex marriage, for example, does not entail the establishment of a "theocracy." Churches and the Bible also teach that murder, theft, and child abuse are wrong, but no one says laws prohibiting such acts establish a theocracy or are a violation of the "separation of church and state." In fact, if the government could not pass laws consistent with church or biblical teachings, then all criminal laws would have to be overturned because they are all in some way consistent with at least one of the Ten Commandments.
Second, there are churches on both sides of these issues. In other words, some liberal churches, contrary to scripture, actually support abortion and same-sex marriage. So if church-supported positions could not be put into law, then we could not have laws either way on abortion or same-sex marriage.
Absurd!
Finally, most proponents of same-sex marriage argue as if they have some kind of moral right to having their relationships endorsed by the state. They claim that they don’t have "equal rights" or that they are being "discriminated" against. Likewise, abortion advocates claim they have a moral "right" to choose an abortion. None of these claims are true, as I have explained elsewhere
If you have a problem with the morality, don’t blame me. I didn’t make it up. I didn’t make up the fact that abortion is wrong, that men are not designed for other men, or that natural marriage is the foundation of a civilized society. Those unchangeable objective truths about reality are examples of the "Laws of Nature" from "Nature’s God," as the Declaration of Independence puts it, and we only hurt others and ourselves by suppressing those truths and legislating immoral laws.
When we fail to legislate morally, others impose immorality. For example, totalitarian political correctness is already imposed in states such as Massachusetts where the implications of same-sex marriage override the religious liberties of businesses, charities and even parents. As documented here and illustrated here, same sex marriage prevents you from running your business, educating your children, or practicicing your religion in accord with your Conscience. And soon, as is the case of Canada you may not be able to speak Biblically about homosexua behavior. That is because those who say they are"4 tolerant" are often the most intolerant. http://crossexamined.org/you-cant-preach-the-gospel-without-freedom-2/ Nevertheless, their arguments, while flawed, expose the fact that independent of religion they seek to legislate their morality rather than the morality. |
