Proposition 8 outcome key for America's future...
Homosexual activists are paying close attention to the outcome of the upcoming election.The results are crucial to the pro-family, traditional marriage foundation of America, and a wrong outcome could make things tough, according to Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality.
"More and more the Democrats are pushing for a full repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Nancy Pelosi's on record for that," he explains. "Barack Obama is calling for a full repeal of DOMA, the law signed by Bill Clinton that protects states from being forced to recognize out-of-state gay marriages."
LaBarbera believes the California vote on Proposition 8, which would protect traditional marriage, would have national repercussions if it fails. "And if that doesn't pass, it's a bad sign for the pro-family movement, and the gay lobby would just be overjoyed and go into overdrive to promote their agenda across the country," LaBarbera contends.
In fact, if Prop. 8 fails and Democrats gain the White House and a congressional majority, a same-gender marriage bill is likely to pass in Washington, DC, in January, according to activists and city hall insiders. Evan Wolfson, executive director of the same-sex marriage advocacy group called Freedom to Marry, told The Washington Blade, "Where California goes, so goes the nation."Genesis 2:23-24
23 The man said,
"This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called 'woman, '
for she was taken out of man."24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
God says on:
Leviticus 18: 22 “Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.
Leviticus 20: 13 "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
The Apostle Paul says in Romans 1:26-27 "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
Isaiah 5:20 (The Message)
Doom to you who call evil good
and good evil,
Who put darkness in place of light
and light in place of darkness,
Who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!http://www.godsaidmansaid.com/topic3.asp?Cat2=244&ItemID=1080

Former homosexual offers self as proof change is possibleA former homosexual has written a book directed at people still in the lifestyle to encourage them to change their orientation.
Ken Jackson lived the homosexual lifestyle for 20 years and knows how difficult change can be. "It's certainly a fight," he acknowledges, "but then...after awhile -- when you're not as rooted in the Word, as I've started to become now -- the enemy really picks up his attacks...."
And at one point during those attacks, says Jackson, he just gave up. "[I] just surrendered to the enemy and just started living the lifestyle -- and that was it," he laments. "It just started spiraling from there."
It was quite a change when he left the lifestyle, considering the fact that he was a homosexual activist previously, even setting up group meetings to help homosexuals adjust to the lifestyle. "When you're on the battlefield and you're working for the enemy and then you turn sides, you realize the fight is a lot more intense than you thought," he shares.
But the battle is winnable -- and Jackson himself is proof. One of the keys, he says, is that a homosexual must die to self before dying to Christ.
"... [W]hen we give up and we turn to the [homosexual] lifestyle, a lot of times there's some selfishness there that we take on," he says, "and we don't care who we hurt when we go into the lifestyle -- because it's all about us."
Jackson was diagnosed with HIV 18 years ago, but through God's grace has stayed healthy, permitting him to be an advocate for change. His book is called Lost and Found: One Man's Journey from Sinner to Saint.
