The Bible has a lot to say about the speech we use and it is important to know that God does not think it is acceptable to speak that way.

Psalm 50:23, Proverbs 13:3, 18:7-8 & 21, Matthew 12:36-37, Luke 6:45, Ephesians 4:29-32, James 1:26, 3:6, 1 Peter 3:10

Deity of Jesus

Was Jesus really God and Man?

Divorce has escalated in the past 40 years to the point of being as bad in the "Church" as much so as in the world. Divorce was never a thing that God wanted to happen but because of man’s consistent disobedience it was a concession made to alleviate the situation.

Matthew 5:31-32, 19:3-9, 1 Corinthians 7:1-16

(once you are saved can you ever lose it?)

There is a strong drive in society today trying to sway the minds of people that homosexuality is not only hereditary but should be accepted as an alternative lifestyle. The homosexual movement is making powerful efforts to convince society that it is a normal happening. The media and Hollywood has jumped on the band wagon with them by using movies, TV shows, and tabloids to promote this perverseness. Regardless of what popular opinion has to say the Word of God is clear that it is an Abomination to God and a SIN.

• Romans 1:24-27-- Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25. who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
• Leviticus 18:22-- You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.
• Leviticus 20:13-- If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.
• 1 Corinthians 6:9-10-- Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
• Deuteronomy 22:5-- A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God.
• Jude 7-- ...as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
• 1 Timothy 1:9-10-- ...knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane...10. for fornicators, for sodomites...
• Colossians 3:5-6-- Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.

**The following are facts that the Homosexual movement does not want made public:**

Set forth and distributed at the "Gay Pride" March on Washington, D.C., April 25, 1993

1. Demand the repeal of all sodomy laws and legalization of all forms of sexual expression. (Including pedophilia, changing age of consent laws to allow sex with youth.)
2. Demand defense budget funds be diverted to cover AIDS patients' medical expenses, and taxpayer funding of sex change operations.
3. Demand the legalization of same sex marriages, and legalization of adoption, custody, and foster care within these structures.
4. Demand the full inclusion of lesbians, homosexual men, bisexuals and trans-genders in education and childcare.
5. Demand that contraceptives and abortion services be made available to all persons, regardless of age.
6. Demand taxpayer funding for artificial insemination of lesbians and bisexuals. Forbid religious based concerns regarding homosexuality from being expressed [as is already the case on radio & TV in Canada].
7. Demand that organizations, such as Boy Scouts, be required to accept homosexual scoutmasters.

In their blueprint for homosexual activism, After the Ball, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen teach that activists must "desensitize straights to gays and gayness, inundate them in a continuous flow of gay-related advertising." They advocate that the portrayal of homosexuals should be positive and non-threatening, "First you get your foot in the door, by being as similar as possible. Then, and only then—when your one little difference is finally accepted—can you start dragging in your other peculiarities, one by one."

"In the early stages of any campaign to reach straight America, the masses should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to homosexual behavior itself. Instead, the imagery of sex should be downplayed and gay-rights should be reduced to an abstract social question as much as possible. First, let the camel get his nose inside the tent — and only later his unsightly derriere!"

Marshall Kirk, Erastes Pill,
The Overhauling of Straight America

When a diversity consultant in 1994 asked whether some employees might be reluctant to undergo sensitivity training on homosexuality, openly homosexual U.S. Patents and Trademark Commissioner Bruce Lehmen replied: It's got to be forced down their throats. If they want to be bigots, they can go work for someone else's department.

Washington Times, 9/8/94

Last year the California Legislature voted to allow citizens to use public, taxpayer money to sue Christian organizations (like radio stations or schools) that refer to homosexuality as a sin. (You know, like in the Bible?) This bill, AB257, actually passed in both Houses, only to be vetoed by outgoing Governor Pete Wilson. Another bill, AB310, would have put churches under state regulation, so they would be forced to hire homosexuals.

In 1973, the APA removed Homosexuality from its diagnostic category of mental illnesses. This action came not as a result of new research and findings, but was ultimately brought about by militant protest staged by activists at the APA annual convention. In other words, intimidation was a key motivation. In fact, only 16% of the entire APA membership actually voted in favor of the radical change. Homosexuality, Dr. James Mallory, Head of Psychiatric unit – Rapha Center, Atlanta, Ga.; Ronald Bayer, Homosexuality and American Psychiatry: The Politics of Diagnosis (N.Y.: Basic Books, 1981), 101-54; Wm. Dannemeyer, Shadow in the Land (San Fran.: Ignatius Press, 1989), 24-39.

The assertion that homosexuals are a true minority group is false. Minority status has been determined by the U.S. Supreme Court Based on three criteria:

1. Economic Deprivation – NO! Those engaged in the homosexual lifestyle are among the most advantaged people in the U.S. On average, they have a higher per capita income than heterosexuals, and higher household incomes. (W.S. Journal, 2/10/89; N.Y. Times, 8/22/90).
2. Political Powerlessness – NO! Homosexuals demonstrate great influential political power far beyond their actual numbers. The Human Rights Campaign Fund has annually donated millions of dollars to candidates, more than most other non-corporate PACs. (The Economist, 4/24/93) Media news and entertainment coverage is overwhelmingly favorable. (Turn your TV on!)
3. Immutable Characteristics – NO! Minority groups share unchangeable, benign, non-behavioral traits such as race, ethnicity, disability or national origin. Homosexuals are the only group to claim minority status based on behavior!

The Bible does not use the word ‘race’ in reference to skin color. In Genesis 10:5, 20, and 31 the people are divided according to tongues, families, nations, and lands. In Revelation 7:9 the redeemed of God are said to have come from "all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues." The Bible does not separate men according to the color of their skin. In fact Acts 17:26 indicates that we originated from "one blood" to fill the whole earth. The only scriptures that those use to stand against interracial marriage are scriptures that speak of nationalities and beliefs, not color of skin. The Bible clearly says that God is not a respecter of persons, so what gives us the right to be?

Parents have a great responsibility to bring up their children in the knowledge and admonition of the Lord. Probably the best instructions for parents regarding these responsibilities are in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 6 verses 4-9. These verses describe how that the Law of the Lord should be written upon the doorposts of the house and on the gatepost. It was to be spoken of all of our waking hours and to be on our minds constantly. It is so important to have this atmosphere with our children to show them the importance of God in our lives.

• Proverbs 13:24-- He who spares his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
• Proverbs 19:18-- Chasten your son while there is hope, and do not set your heart on his destruction.
• Proverbs 22:6-- Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
• Ephesians 6: 4-- And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
• Colossians 3: 21-- Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

Pornography is a poison used by satan to destroy one’s mind. Once pornography is viewed it is etched in the mind and only the power of the Holy Spirit can remove it. It is very dangerous and it destroys one’s concept of true and pure love as God intended.

• Ephesians 5:3-5-- But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4. neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
• Matthew 5:27-28-- "You have heard that it was said to those of old, `You shall not commit adultery.' 28. "But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
• Mark 7:20-23-- And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22. thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23. All these evil things come from within and defile a man."

Suicide is not specifically mentioned in the Bible as such, although there are many scriptures that deal with the subject. Mainly the 6^th commandment in Exodus 20:13, "Thou shalt not kill." Suicide is self-murder and is thought to be deliberate and premeditated; therefore it is a sin against this commandment. Another aspect of this act is that it takes away one’s dependence on God and presumes to become the Judge and Jury on your life. God is in control of all things and promised to not let more be put on us than we can handle, but make a way of escape for it (1 Corinthians 10:13). Notice that God will make a way to escape the situation, but you must put your faith in Him.
