Rev.13: 11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns (two horned mitre?)like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Homosexuality and the Church
Political correctness is admittedly out of control in our country. I don't think anyone who finds themselves here would argue against that. Unfortunately, it has not only entered in to the "Church", but has conquered large portions of it. Political correctness is worldly...carnal...fleshly, and not Godly.
An abomination is something that is hateful to God. Actually, in looking at the definition in almost any resource, you see that it is "disgusting, loathsome." God is the same yesterday, today and forever. His nature is eternal. His attitudes are eternal. Anything contrary to His nature will always be contrary to His nature.
An old testament abomination will always be an abomination to God, because He can't change. He doesn't need to. We need to change, or repent, to come in to alignment with God's outlook. He gives the gift of the Holy Ghost to the repentant.
Acts 2: 38. Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39. "For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.''
40. And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, "Be saved from this perverse generation.''
Lets look at some abominations to see if we can agree that these are still loathsome and disgusting and should be considered contrary to the nature of God... and the church.
Deut. 18: 9. When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
10. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Offering our children as burnt sacrifices to a pagan god...yeah that's obviously abominable. Using spiritualists/tarot/fortune tellers, etc. a lot of "Christians" have been suckered into thinking these are OK, but they are generally understood by mature Christians as abominable. The "supernatural" obsession of TV, movies, and books without God as the focus, is satanic and deceiving many into deeper darkness. People need to wake up!
Prov. 6: 16. These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Can at least the church agree that these things are detestable?
Then look at this:
Levi. 18: 21. And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
22. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
23. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Homosexuality and bestiality are both becoming protected "alternative lifestyles" by our government! So will pedophilia and necrophilia if this government isn't stopped in it's downward moral spiral. Also please note that there is a reason Christians claim that homosexuality is on the same level with bestiality. They get that from the Word of God.
How has this happened? How is it that such a small percentage of the population can control our government so completely? Homosexuals claim to be 10% of the population, but realistically they are only numbered at about 2-3 %. 4% self identified themselves as homosexual on exit polling during the 2008 Presidential election, according to wikipedia. If you consider that many straights didn't vote, and homosexuals were more politically motivated, the numbers can be questioned. Even if they are completely accurate, 4% of the population should NOT be dictating policy to 96%!
What is the real political force behind this? What small percentage of highly placed political people are reputedly aligned with homosexuality? The Roman Catholic Church. Wait, don't freak out yet. Roman Catholic Fr. Cozzen has written a book, praised by many Roman clerics as being one of the most important books to come out in years regarding to condition of the priesthood, called "The Changing Face of the Priesthood”. In this book he estimates the percentage of homosexual priests may be as high as 60%. Jesuits have their fair share of this percentage. Do your own Google search and see for yourself. I'm not just making this stuff up because I have an axe to grind with Roman Catholicism. I hate the false religion for all kinds of reasons. This is just one of them.
Seminary applicants have dropped drastically in recent years; older priests have dropped out to marry, so the percentage rises. The priesthood is being seen as a bastion of homosexuality, perversion all over the world. The millions of dollars paid out to victims of the priesthoods preying on young boys has become fodder for comedians. The practice of shuffling perverted priests and hiding them from scrutiny is too well known to deny. It was never a glamorous job, but the truly dedicated are being marginalized out by the mother organization.
According to the Associated Press Jan. 2000, several hundreds of priests have died of AIDS.
This tragedy was caused by the Roman Catholic Canon Law that forbids priests to marry.
1Tim.4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
This devilish perversion, of homosexuality invading "Christianity" has grown beyond the RCC and has now invaded most of "Christendom". Queer folk want it all. They want to stay queer, but be regarded as normal. 4% falls far short from being in the normal range in anything. As a Christian, you either follow God's will,or you follow your own will. Following your own will drops you from following God's will. You can't have the world, and have God, too.
1 John 2: 15. Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16. For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world.

Presbyterian: OK gay clergy June 28, 2008 per LA Times
Episcopal church- US branch 2003, OK gay clergy
Methodists still holding out, BUT…acknowledge they have retained an openly lesbian minister without censure.
So, is the New Testament silent on the subject as many claim? "Jesus never condemned homosexuality" they say. Jesus was Jehovah of the Old Testament. If Jehovah said it ...Jesus said it. See my posts on the godhead. The apostles continued the message as close as any could without error.
New Testament:
Rom. 1: 16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31. Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Christians need not be arrogant and/or self-righteous in this matter. The next chapter slams the self-righteous pretty well. But, we need to recognize that sin is sin, God's word reveals homosexuality is sin, and unrepented sin isn't covered by grace!
Read God's word regarding the leaders of Sodom and their attempt at treading on both sides of the fence:
Isaiah 1: 10. Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11. To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13. Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
If you find yourself in a church that has lapsed, and you still believe the word of God is to be loved and obeyed, you should probably leave to find a church that still teach all the full council of God. I would recommend an Apostolic Pentecostal assembly, but that's just me.

During floor debate on H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act, Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) admitted that this so-called "hate crimes" bill will protect the 30 mostly bizarre sexual orientations listed by the American Psychiatric Association.
These 30 sexual orientations/paraphilias are among numerous listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) and in other psychiatric literature.
After ridiculing his Republican colleagues for proposing an amendment to exclude these 30 orientations from H.R. 1913, Hastings openly admitted that they would be included as protected federal categories under civil rights laws - and he approves of this coverage.
Here is Hastings' transcript from the Congressional Record, April 29, 2009:
Mr. Speaker, I have been on the Rules Committee a considerable amount of time, both in the minority and in the majority, and I have seen things come to the Rules Committee that I thought were trivializing the process, but yesterday took the cake for me.
We had an amendment offered by one of our colleagues to this particular legislation. I guess it was done in a creative fashion, and certainly the author of it did spend some time looking in the dictionary or creating new terms. And I apologize to our transcriber, but I am going to put in the Record what we have to put up with in the Rules Committee.
"The term sexual orientation," this proposed amendment said, "as used in this act, or any amendments made by this act, does not include apotemnophilia, asphyxophilia, autogynephilia, coprophilia, exhibitionism, fetishism, frotteurism, gerontosexuality, incest, kleptophilia, klismaphilia, necrophilia, partialism, pedophilia, sexual masochism, sexual sadism, telephone scatalogia, toucherism, transgenderism, transsexual, transvestite, transvestic fetishism, urophilia, voyeurism, or zoophilia."
All I can say is the late-night comedians need to come up there with me sometime so that they can get into the spirit of spuriousness that comes there on certain occasions.
This is serious business. Mr. Speaker, we can't legislate love, but we can legislate against hate. This legislation may not rid us of the intolerance and prejudices that continue to taint our society, but it will provide an added deterrent to those for whom these feelings manifest themselves into acts of violence. They will be fully aware that, should they commit a hate crime, there will be no lenience and they will not slip through the cracks of the American legal system.
Further, passage of this Hate Crimes bill will increase public education and awareness and encourage Americans to report hate crimes that all too often are silent.
Mr. Speaker, this bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice, and to guarantee that all Americans, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability--or all of these philias and fetishes and isms that were put forward--need not live in fear because of who they are.
I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule so that we continue to move this country toward fully achieving its promise of justice and liberty for all Americans.
I urge a ``yes'' vote on the previous question and on the rule.
In this statement, Rep. Hastings has made it clear that these mostly bizarre sexual orientations will be made into federally-protected minority groups if the so-called hate crimes bill becomes law.

Further, passage of this Hate Crimes bill will increase public education and awareness and encourage Americans to report hate crimes that all too often are silent.
Mr. Speaker, this bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice, and to guarantee that all Americans, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability--or all of these philias and fetishes and isms that were put forward--need not live in fear because of who they are.
I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule so that we continue to move this country toward fully achieving its promise of justice and liberty for all Americans.
I urge a ``yes'' vote on the previous question and on the rule.
In this statement, Rep. Hastings has made it clear that these mostly bizarre sexual orientations will be made into federally-protected minority groups if the so-called hate crimes bill becomes law.

The Roman Road to Salvation-put into perspective.
As long as I am re-posting favorites, this needs to come too. This is what the church is supposed to be teaching, I believe, but got led astray through Roman Catholicism, and never got back on course through the Reformation. Please seriously consider this point of view.

Romans 3
23. For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5
8. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6
23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 10:
9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved.
10. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
13. For whosoever shall
call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Is
This the Doctrine used By the First Century Church?
·
You
would think so by the witnessing plan found in almost every tract, book on
evangelism, and sermon heard on TV, radio, and from most church pulpits…
·
BUT IS THAT WHAT SCRIPTURES REVEAL? The only yardstick for
truth is scripture. Let’s look closer….
Timing…
The book of Romans was written about
60 A.D.
HOW DID PEOPLE GET SAVED BEFORE ROMANS
WAS PENNED?
Who was the Book of Romans Written
to?
6. Among whom are ye also the
called of Jesus Christ:
7. To all that be in Rome, beloved of
God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8. First, I thank my God through Jesus
Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole
world.
Who
are the other books after the book of Acts written to?
Corinthians
2. Unto the church of God
which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus,
called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus
Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
Galatians
2b:… , unto the churches of
Galatia:
Ephesians
1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by
the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus,
and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Philippians
1. Paul and Timotheus, the servants of
Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus
which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Colossians
2. To the saints and faithful
brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thessalonians
1. Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus,
unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father
and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Beat Goes On
Every letter, epistle found after the
book of Acts was written to churches, saints, preachers, fellow-laborers, etc.
ALREADY SAVED FOLK!!
The only book after the gospels written
to explain how the church came into being, the doctrine that established the
church is the book of Acts.
The Roman Road
To use the Roman Road for the N.T. plan
of salvation is to take those verses out of context. The context of Romans is
that it was written to those who had already repented, had been baptized in
Jesus name for the remission of sin, and been filled with the gift of the Holy
Ghost.
Acts 2:
41. Then they that gladly received his
word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three
thousand souls.
42. And they continued stedfastly
in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of
bread, and in prayers.
Acts 8
12. But when they believed Philip
preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus
Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13. Then Simon himself believed also:
and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the
miracles and signs which were done.
14. Now when the apostles which were at
Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them
Peter and John:
15. Who, when they were come down,
prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16. (For as yet he was fallen upon
none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17. Then laid they their hands on them,
and they received the Holy Ghost.
(they believed and were baptized, but
still lacked the baptism of the Holy Ghost)
18. And when Simon saw that through
laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them
money,
19. Saying, Give me also this power,
that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20. But Peter said unto him, Thy money
perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be
purchased with money.
21. Thou hast neither part nor lot in
this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22. Repent therefore of this thy
wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven
thee.
23. For I perceive that thou art in the
gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
(Simon believed and was baptized, Peter said he was still a lost sinner)
Gentiles…
Acts10:1-33 God prepares Peter to go to
the gentiles.
Acts 10:34-43 Peter preaches the
gospel- death, burial and resurrection to gentiles.
Acts 10:44-48 gentiles repent are
filled with the Holy Ghost, and baptized in Jesus name.
Acts 10:
44. While Peter yet spake these words,
the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45. And they of the circumcision which
believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the
Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46. For they heard them speak with
tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47. Can any man forbid water, that
these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well
as we?
48. And he commanded them to be
baptized in the name of the Lord.
Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Acts 19:
1. And it came to pass, that, while
Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to
Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
2. He said unto them, Have ye received
the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much
as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
3. And he said unto them, Unto what
then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
4. Then said Paul, John verily baptized
with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should
believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5. When they heard this, they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6. And when Paul had laid his hands
upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and
prophesied.
In Summary
·
Peter
preached repentance, baptism in Jesus name and receiving the Holy Ghost for
salvation
·
Paul
preached repentance, baptism in Jesus name and receiving the Holy Ghost for
salvation
·
The
dispersion spread the Apostles doctrine (see above)
·
The
letter to the saints in Rome ~60 A.D., after a great number of churches had
been started.
False teachers entered into
the flock, changing the doctrine Acts 20:29-30
The Ascension of the Roman
Catholic Church- illegal to own Bible, etc. Change doctrines
Reformation- taking R.C.C.
doctrine with them
Roman Road to Salvation –
reformation doctrine, not taught by 1st church.
Rather than perpetuate an error just
for the sake of unity, we should rather teach the original New Testament plan
of salvation as taught by the apostles, and first century church: Acts 2:38…
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and
be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
