    Homosexual marriage Law passes in New York

    Just moments ago the NY Senate passed the Assembly version of the bill. The law will take effect 30 days after the Governor signs it. Gov Cumo did push the law and is expected to sign it immediately.

    Why was this bill so important that the Senate had to stay until 10 pm to vote? Hmmm

    Mike Long, Chairman of the NY Conservative Party has stated that any Senator or Assemblyman who voted for the bill WILL NOT receive the Conservative endorsement in 2012. Conservative endorsement can often mean the difference in winning an election as NY has the fusion ballot. No Republican has won statewide office in years without the Conservative Party line.
    CPNY web page

    Duane Motley stated " (New Yorkers Family Research Foundation)
    "The amendment language does nothing to protect cake bakers, caterers, photographers, florists, or other people of strong religious faith opposed to same-sex 'marriage' that refuse to provide services for same-sex couples.""
    Motley, there are plenty of cake bakers, caterers, photographers, florists, et. al. who are more than willing to serve the gay community, and many of them gay themselves. Your argument is weak. These people aren't going to change your life, but your hatred will kill you.

    Come quickly Lord Jesus

    I preached in a church revival on Mon night. The pastor had told the congregation he was in Albany talking to legislatures. The Pastor said he talked to one man who said "I'm Gay for Jesus" :tear:

    What's sad is that most likely that man is not one who Jesus is for. :( What hurts too is how many of those I see on Facebook are celebrating this. Yes, I have friends on Facebook who are not Christians - and one who said she was but is now living with her girlfriend and no longer walking with the Lord. :( Very sad.

    If they call it marriage, is it? Not in my book. Marriage is for a man and a woman. They can do what they want and call it what they want but it still is not marriage unless it is between a man and a woman.

    And the Cancer of Sin Continues to Grow!

    This is just another sign of the times. In Romans 1, Paul falks about men and women thinking they know best, and Paul says that the sin they crave and live for will become the spiritual undoing.

    This may have had its roots in San Francisco, but like any cancer (sin) if no one is willing to the error of their ways, then like Paul said, "thinking themselves wise, they are (in truth) being spiritual deluded and allowed to walk down that wide highway to hell!"

    Sorry it has reached NY, Ann, I know how you feel, because my wife and I have this same sense of sadness out here on the west coast.

    Pastor Paul :type:

    Oh, boy! I'm practicing my, "I'm sorry. We embrace our exemption here." line. Now maybe the Governor and legislature can get back to fixing high unemployment, outrageous taxes, crumbling infrastructure ......

    What is it with homosexuals? Do you all feel, as I do and others I've talked to, that they always have their feelers out there trying to find out what you "think" about their chosen and unseemly work between themselves? Do they wish to make us think the way they want us to think? Sure they do. So does the government.

    We have two homosexuals across the street. They not only sense, but know that I disagree with their unnatural dishonoring of their bodies. Thus, I feel not a little hatred pouring from them. For, we must tolerate them, but they must not tolerate us.

    Most people are saying in support of them "they are such nice people!" They say the same about the two across the street, but, I exposed them to some who felt this way, as a worker came across the street to tell me about what one had said to him while working. And then two more workers. Same thing. He was a little angry. So were the others. Yet, they tell others how they are monogamist. Dedicated to one another. This is all baloney, they portray themselves as innocent, and as this representation and role model of stability in relationship, and this is a direct outright lie.

    And enough of this "gay" and "lesbian" and "bi" nonsense. What does the Bible call this, and name them?

    That this has become a political issue is shameful. We are being closed-in upon. I worry and pray for my children.

    Sad they wont just let the people vote on the issue. Of course the only way to pass something like this is by not allowing a vote. I think the record of when this has come to a vote speaks for itself.

    The street word used to be "Queer" but your not supposed to say that in polite society. Now its "Gay" & boy do they gay it up in their Gay Pride Parade in NYC. They also flaunt & flit around in the Halloween parade (something originally designed for city kids who couldn't go door to door in Manhattan). They themselves have become the kids; generally the bad overindulged ones at that (Exposing themselves, doing sex acts in public) & so you cant bring real kids to the event anymore. Personally I think "Queer" is the correct terminology for these deviants.

    We love a parade in Upstate New York. I'm not sure how these folks would fit in between the fire trucks, Cub Scouts and John Deere tractors but I'm sure the 4H club would let them follow the horses. :thumbs:
