All Democrats, who voted, voted in favor of repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. All Democrats who are up for reelection in 2012 voted for repeal except Joe Manchin of West Virginia who did not vote. Eight RINO Republicans voted in favor of homosexual behavior and in opposition to the wellbeing of our military forces.
The eight Republicans who voted against morality, voted against our military, and voted for sinful, evil, wicked behavior are:
1) Scott Brown (Republican-Massachusetts up for reelection in 2012)
2) Richard Burr (Republican-North Carolina up for reelection in 2016)
3) Susan Collins (Republican-Maine up for reelection in 2014)
4) John Ensign (Republican-Nevada up for reelection in 2012)
5) Mark Kirk (Republican-Illinois up for reelection in 2016)
6) Lisa Murkowski (Republican-Alaska up for reelection in 2016)
7) Olympia Snowe (Republican-Maine up for reelection in 2012)
8) George Voinovich (Republican-Ohio up for reelection in 2016)
Up for reelection in 2012 [Start recruiting conservative candidates NOW!]
1) Scott Brown (Republican-Massachusetts up for reelection in 2012)
2) John Ensign (Republican-Nevada up for reelection in 2012)
3) Olympia Snowe (Republican-Maine up for reelection in 2012)
Up for reelection in 2014
1) Susan Collins (Republican-Maine up for reelection in 2014)
Up for reelection in 2016 [Did they tell use in the 2010 campaign they were going to support immoral behavior as a civil right?]
1) Richard Burr (Republican-North Carolina up for reelection in 2016)
2) Mark Kirk (Republican-Illinois up for reelection in 2016. I‘ve said all along he is a RINO. I was upset that Republican leadership supported him even before the primary election began. It was a horrible mistake on their part. We as a nation will reap the consequences of his support of immorality. He also lied about his military service which was exposed after the primary election.)
3) Lisa Murkowski (Republican-Alaska up for reelection in 2016. RINO who lost in the primary and then cheated in the election. Some of this is on the shoulders of Republican leadership.)
4) George Voinovich (Republican-Ohio up for reelection in 2016)
From an obscure—according to Barack Hussein Obama—New Testament passage:
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents, they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also APPROVE (my capitalization—my addition) of those who practice them.” Romans 1: 18-32 (NIV)
The Bible, the WORD of GOD, clearly states in both the Old and New Testaments that homosexual behavior is a SIN. It is NOT now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be a civil right according to GOD’S WILL. Why are these elected Senators of the United States so willing to try the patience of GOD, the CREATOR of the universe? Do they have a spiritual death-wish for the nation?
As I concluded on my December 2nd and December 4th posts, “there are NO militarily assessed benefits to this insane policy which flies in the face of GOD’S proclamation that homosexual behavior is detestable, indecent, a perversion, and sin that will keep the practitioner from the kingdom of God . ‘‘Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman that is detestable.’’ Leviticus 18: 22 [NIV] ‘Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.’ Romans 1: 26-27 [NIV] ‘Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.’ I Corinthians 6: 9-11 [NIV] In both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, there is NOT one instance where the Bible is either neutral or positive toward homosexual behavior. Homosexual behavior is universally condemned in the Bible. Congressmen be warned and beware! Changing this policy will ONLY result in HARM to the nation. This is NOT about equality. That’s a lie of Satan! This is about SIN. God is in control NOT you! There will be a COST to you and to the nation. You are NOT above GOD!
Homosexual behavior is SIN. Any law that gives support to homosexual behavior is SIN. SIN has consequences for the individuals involved and for the government that permits and encourages that SIN to occur.
GOD intended sexual relations for one man and one woman—period!!! GOD created sexual relations for the benefit of one man and one woman—only!!! GOD does NOT need man’s assistance to improve upon HIS CREATIONS!!! GOD created man and woman. HE did NOT create man and man and/or woman and woman.
HE did that for a reason. ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.’ Genesis 2: 24 [NIV] ‘‘Haven’t you read,’ he [JESUS, the SON of GOD—my addition] replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.’’ Matthew 19: 4-6 [NIV] Congress be warned and beware: Your pay grade is well below what is necessary to change what GOD has ordained through HIS WORD! You don’t have the power, you don’t have the authority, you don’t have the intellect to change GOD’S design for man!!!”
Those Senators who are voting according to GOD’S will are doing GOOD! Those Senators who are voting contrary to GOD’S will are doing EVIL, by definition! In the end EVIL loses! It’s that simple. And that is the Biblical TRUTH!
