I will not be continuing my Creationism posts today. I do plan to return to them soon.
Then, I plan to answer the response about Iraq. I am sorry for the change in plans. Plans, in reality, often are altered for one reason or another. “The best laid plans … often go astray.” Thank you for your understanding and patience.
How many unborn toddlers were murdered today because of the humanistic, paganish, barbaric decisions of the United States Supreme Court?

“Vision Forum’s new ‘Reclaiming the Culture DVD Collection’ sale ends at Midnight, May 30, 2008 (CST).: This engaging seven-part video series—which features messages by Ray Comfort, Doug Phillips, Dr. Paul Jehle, and Geoffrey, Anna Sofia, and Elizabeth Botkin—is designed to dispel worldly myths that undermine biblical womanhood, honor, evangelism, and America’s providential history and to recapture these priorities in a way that reflects God’s Word and gives hope to our children.”
The seven titles in the series include:
1) “Training Dominion-Oriented Daughters”
2) “What Is Biblical Femininity?”
3) “We Cannot But Speak—How to Gain a Passion for Evangelism”
4) “Guerilla Apologetics for the Glory of God”
5) “Seven Foundational Elements of a Godly Estate”
6) “The Promise: The Beauty and Power of the Fifth Commandment”
7) “The Providential Nexus of Plymouth & Jamestown”
I have not seen any of the DVDs so I can not comment on the content. I am mentioning the sale to make you aware of the opportunity.
“Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” I Peter 3: 1-7 (NIV)
Peter, like Paul, when referring to marriage recognizes marriage as being between a man and a woman. He makes no other reference to any other type of union. If GOD, JESUS the SON of GOD, Paul, and Peter recognize only marriage between a man and a woman; why would Christians today try to change that which is established by GOD? We do not have the authority nor do we have the wisdom to try to alter GOD’S plan for marriage. Any attempt to change marriage is an earthly, human attempt to alter that which GOD has established. Any such attempt is contrary to GOD’S will!
“So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.
We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.’ We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred
mountain.
And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the mourning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of
Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of
righteousness, and seven others; if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives
of lawless men (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)—if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey—a beast without speech—who spoke with a man’s voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.
These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.” II Peter 1: 12-21 and II Peter 2: 1-19 (NIV)
In this passage of Scripture; Peter, like JESUS, Paul, and Isaiah, confirms the historical accuracy of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He continues that this condemnation of the UNGODLY in those two cities was an example of what is going to happen to WICKED, unrepentant SINNERS—endless spiritual punishment. “… the Lord knows how … to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority.”
However, the context of the passage is somewhat different than Paul’s reference to Sodom and Gomorrah. Peter is making a contrast between two groups—those who tell GOD’S truth through the Scriptures and those who are FALSE teachers. In relation to the study of HOMOSEXUALITY and the Bible it is evident that there are also two groups—those who assert that HOMOSEXUAL behavior is a SIN and those who maintain that it is not a SIN. Those are the only two groups that are possible. Either it is or it is not a SIN. There is no such thing as a partial SIN, or a situational SIN, or a conditional SIN. GOD recognizes the righteous and the unrighteous.
Therefore, either the individuals who claim that HOMOSEXUAL acts are a SIN or those who claim that it is not a SIN are wrong. Both sides of the position can not be correct. Peter emphatically declares that “there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.” If the Bible instructs that HOMOSEXUALITY is a SIN as I believe has been conclusively demonstrated by numerous passages of New Testament Scripture, then those who claim that HOMOSEXUAL behavior is not a SIN are denying the sovereignty of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and GOD the FATHER.
One of the two positions is FALSE. One of the two positions is denying the sovereignty of GOD. It can not be anything else. Peter asserts that these FALSE teachers will be punished for their FALSE teachings. To lead people into SIN is itself a grievous SIN before GOD. “They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.” It is the spiritual responsibility of Christians to teach the TRUTH through the Scriptures and to encourage and help those living in SIN, as all of us once did, to repent and live our lives in obedience to the one and only CREATOR of the universe—the one true GOD and SAVIOR. Those who select to teach the ways of the world will according to Peter be condemned to “blackest darkness.”
“Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.
In the very same way, these dreamers pollute their own bodies, reject authority and slander celestial beings. But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, ‘The Lord rebuke you!’ Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals—these are the very things that destroy them.
Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
These men are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.” Jude 1: 3-13 (NIV)
Now; Jude along with JESUS, Paul, Isaiah, and Peter cites the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as a historical event that is important for Christians. It is important because it is one of several examples of GOD punishing people because of their unrepentant SIN. Jude says further that it is “an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.” It is an earthly example of everlasting spiritual punishment. Jude states specifically that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of their SEXUAL IMMORALITY and PERVERSION. Paul in Romans the first chapter refers to HOMOSEXUAL actions as a PERVERSION. Now Jude also refers to the SEXUAL IMMORALITY of Sodom and Gomorrah including HOMOSEXUAL behavior as a PERVERSION.
As Peter did, Jude also warns of FALSE teachers referring to them as “godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.” They are godless men who try to claim that there is no problem with going against the will and commands of GOD. They think they know better than GOD what is good for mankind. They think they know but they are wrong! Their end will be their spiritual destruction for their disobedience and for turning people away from GOD. Jude vigorously declares “blackest darkness has been reserved forever” for them.

what is your obsession with homosexuality? Its normal for someone to be this concerned with other people do in their private lives. It could almost lead people to believe that you are trying to compensate for something or cover something up.
Apparently, the writer has nothing else in the whole wide world to do. Seems that his private life is so full of void, that just maybe, it is compensating or covering up.
