Enough Already!

This isn't part two of the Gog/Magog post, obviously...still working on that. But in my news articles this morning I was accosted with hate crime laws and repealing them, or not repealing them, etc. I am so tired of this!

Basically what hate crime laws do is add at least 5 years on a sentence of a crime committed against someone based on race or gender. Do I think it's okay to commit a crime against someone based on their race, or the fact that they are homosexual? OF COURSE NOT. I don't think it's okay to commit a crime against ANYONE. That's the point.

In the New King James Version of the Bible, Exodus 23:7 it says, "Keep yourself far from a false matter; do not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not justify the wicked."

"You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’" Mark 10:19 NKJV

On October 28, 2009, President Obama "makes it a federal crime to attack someone because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center says it elevates people engaged in deviant sexual behaviors to a special, protected class of persons under federal law." (www.cnsnews.com)

Leviticus 18:22 (New Living Translation) “Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin."

1 Corinthians 6:8-10 (New Living Translation) "Instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your fellow believers. Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God."

Note that the Bible makes no differentiation between homosexuality, sexual sin, prostitution, thieves, drunks, abusive people...and if IT doesn't, our law shouldn't! The church is the one who prioritizes sin. This sin is worse than that one...Well, sin is sin is sin to God.

Oh, but we must have TOLERANCE. Well, the road to hell is paved with tolerance. That's the problem with this country. Everyone wants everyone else to tolerate everything. Well, I say NO! I will NOT tolerate the law changing so homosexuals can get married. No I will NOT support affirmative action, because the most QUALIFIED person should get the job, whether he or she be a he or a she, white, red, yellow, black, whatever! I will NOT support the law for "hate crimes" because ALL crime is horrible. I could find a reason behind any crime to make it a hate crime: the victim was a woman. A white man. A black man. A gay woman. A straight woman. A Jew. A Christian. A Mormon. A Jehovah's Witness. A man with blue eyes. A woman with green eyes.

I can hear some people now: but that's NOT the same thing. OH, but it IS! Can't you see that?

Recently there were 3 men tortured in the Bronx. Before I go any further: what these men suffered is unspeakable. The men who beat them and tortured them should go to prison forever. They should be charged with assault, kidnapping, rape, torture, and whatever else criminals can be charged with. But they should be charged like that because the men they hurt were INNOCENT, not GAY.

Christians all over the world are persecuted solely for their beliefs. IN THIS COUNTRY Christians are assaulted and discriminated against just because they are Christians. And if they are attacked? Whoever hurt them should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Because the victim was just that, a VICTIM, not because he was a Christian.

What hate crimes do is turn thoughts into crime. Last time I checked, the Constitution still protected my right to free speech, and my gosh, free thought! Now the government is going to tell me what I can think? Whether what I BELIEVE is right or wrong? Not while I have control of my faculties, that's for sure.

Please stand up for what you believe. Get into the WORD. Find out what GOD thinks about a situation. I can't believe something that God's Word tells me is not true. I cannot NOT believe something IN the Word of God because man tells me it's NOT true.

I realize that I may not have the most popular opinion. But the "opposition" has many, many voices. I'm not sure I can be heard over the din, but I have to try. I can't let MY GOD go undefended. (Even though He can stand up for Himself!) I will not stay silent while people malign the Word of God.

Will you?
