Dear sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus, part of a growing repentance remnant globally,
Going against Jesus' Words on marriage, or any other topic, puts any nation in immediate peril. Unless we repent His Judgment will be upon us.
Jesus/Yeshua could not be more clear: then, today, FOREVER: In Matthew 19: 3-6, King James version, His Word says: "The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE, And said, FOR THIS CAUSE SHALL A MAN LEAVE FATHER AND MOTHER, AND SHALL CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE: AND THEY TWAIN SHALL BE ONE FLESH? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
And in Mark 10: 6-9 Jesus' Words are repeated, connecting Holy Marriage to the beginning of the creation by God: " But from the beginning of the creation God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. FOR THIS CAUSE SHALL A MAN LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, AND CLEAVE TO HIS WIFE; AND THEY TWAIN SHALL BE ONE FLESH: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
Today's humanists, anti-God fools in every legislature, flatly go against His Holy Word. Here is the latest news from Washington:
- "Legislation introduced Monday would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and bolster protections for married same-sex and interracial couples nationwide.
- The House is set to vote on the measure this week.
- Lawmakers said the bill’s introduction is a direct response to an opinion authored by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas that signaled marriage equality could be at risk.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers on Monday introduced legislation to officially repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and require federal recognition for same-sex and interracial marriages nationwide.
The measure’s introduction comes in response to an opinion by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas last month following the court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that established the constitutional right to an abortion.
The Respect for Marriage Act, introduced Monday by top House and Senate Democrats, would repeal DOMA, the 1996 law that defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The Supreme Court in 2013 ruled that a section of the law preventing the government from recognizing same-sex marriages for the purposes of determining federal benefits was unconstitutional, but the remainder of the law is still technically in place, albeit unenforceable.
The new legislation would also address a national patchwork of marriage laws by requiring states to legally recognize same-sex and interracial marriages if those marriages are valid in the states in which they were performed.
The bill is slated for a floor vote this week, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Monday.
“LGBTQ Americans and those in interracial marriages deserve to have certainty that they will continue to have their right to equal marriage recognized, no matter where they live, should the Court act on Justice Thomas’ draconian suggestion,” Hoyer said.
“If Justice Thomas’s concurrence teaches anything it’s that we cannot let your guard down or the rights and freedoms that we have come to cherish will vanish into a cloud of radical ideology and dubious legal reasoning,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), one of the bill’s sponsors, said Monday in a statement. “As this Court may take aim at other fundamental rights, we cannot sit idly by as the hard-earned gains of the Equality movement are systematically eroded.”
The Respect for Marriage Act has been introduced in several previous Congresses, beginning with a 2009 bill that was also backed by Nadler.
- Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), the measure’s GOP sponsor in the Senate, said the proposed legislation builds on previous victories like the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and is “another step to promote equality, prevent discrimination, and protect the rights of all Americans.”
The Respect for Marriage Act is co-led by members of the Congressional LGBTQ Equality Caucus including Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.), who despite being with his partner, Randy, for more than 30 years, has only been legally married to him for eight. “For families like mine, the Respect for Marriage Act is a necessary step to protect our fundamental rights,” Maloney said Monday."
PLEASE JOIN ME IN PRAYER, IN JESUS' HOLY NAME: " HEAVENLY FATHER, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, IN JESUS/ YESHUA'S HOLY NAME, I CONFESS THE SINS OF MY NATION THAT WE HAVE LEGALIZED AND SANCTIFIED, SOMETHING CALLED 'MARRIAGE' WHICH CLEARLY IS DIRECTLY CONTRARY TO YOUR ETERNAL WORD. IT IS SIN AND AN ABOMINATION TO YOU. TEAR DOWN THIS WICKED, PERVERSE THINKING AND BEHAVIOR WHICH GLORIFIES FLESH INSTEAD OF YOU. HELP US TEACH AND MODEL INSTEAD YOUR BEAUTIFUL GIFT OF MARRIAGE BASED ON YOUR WORD, ESTABLISHED AT CREATION. GIVE US YOUR WISDOM AND YOUR FAVOR AS WE COUNTER THIS WICKEDNESS CLEARLY FROM THE ENEMY. MAY THE SPIRIT OF CONVICTION OF THIS SIN SWEEP THIS NATION AND OTHER NATIONS. MAY WE CELEBRATE THOSE WHO HAVE COME OUT OF THE SAME SEX MARRIAGE LIFESTYLE, HAVE REPENTED, AND HAVE FOUND YOUR BLESSING IN TRUE BIBLICAL MARRIAGE. THANK YOU, LORD, FOR YOUR ETERNAL TRUTHS AND YOUR HOLY SPIRIT WHICH EMPOWER US TO ADVANCE YOUR KINGDOM IN THE FACE OF WICKEDNESS. WE THANK YOU FOR THE VICTORY. WE THANK YOU THAT YOU, ONLY, DEFINE MARRIAGE. WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY, ALMIGHTY GOD. AMEN "
