Church Won’t Do Weddings For Straight Couples Until Same-Sex Marriage Is Legal

A local church has elected to stop performing marriage ceremonies for straight couples until same-sex marriage is legalized.

In a statement posted on the front page of their website, officials at the Green Street United Methodist Church said that they ask other churches to join in the movement to “refuse to sign any State marriage licenses until this right is granted to same- sex couples.”

Pope seeks interfaith team to fight 'gay' marriage

Pope seeks interfaith team to fight 'gay' marriage

On multiple occasions just this month, Pope Benedict XVI has hinted that it is time for people of various faiths to take a common stand against the spread of same-sex marriage.

In his annual Christmas address to the Vatican bureaucracy earlier today, Benedict explained the traditional family needs to be protected because it is “the authentic setting in which to hand on the blueprint of human existence,” and said of international campaigns to legalize same-sex marriage, “There is no denying the crisis that threatens [the family] to its foundations – especially in the Western world.”

Cardinal Timothy Dolan's Benedictions At RNC And DNC (FULL TEXT)

Cardinal Timothy Dolan's Benedictions At RNC And DNC (FULL TEXT)

Offering a benediction to close the Democratic National Convention, Cardinal Timothy Dolan largely stuck to a similar script as he did when praying in front of Republicans at their convention last week, with two notable exceptions.

"We ask your benediction on those waiting to be born, that they may be welcomed and protected," Dolan, who as the Archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has spoken out strongly against abortion, said at the DNC.

And making what seemed to be a allusion to same-sex marriage, which President Barack Obama and the DNC have endorsed, Dolan said: "Show us anew that happiness is found only in respecting the laws of nature and of nature’s God. Empower us with your grace so that we might resist the temptation to replace the moral law with idols of our own making, or to remake those institutions you have given us for the nurturing of life and community."

NO COMPROMISE FROM THE ARCHBISHOP. THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING IN PULPITS NATIONWIDE. I WAS DELIGHTED THAT THIS DNC2012 CONVENTION IS HISTORY.

And it did make history. God was taken out of the Platform and then resurrected to dissing and booing God. Also Jerusalem reinstated as the capital of Israel.

This Democrat Party was not happy with the results. Their values are truly antithetical to Christianity ... They are.

Black pastors group launches anti-Obama campaign around gay marriage

A group of conservative black pastors are responding to President Barack Obama’s support of same-sex marriage with what they say will be a national campaign aimed at rallying black Americans to rethink their overwhelming support of the President, though the group’s leader is offering few specifics about the effort.

The Rev. Williams Owens, who is president and founder of the Coalition of African-Americans Pastors and the leader of the campaign, has highlighted opposition to same-sex marriage among African-Americans. He calls this campaign “an effort to save the family.”

THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE PROFILES IN COURAGE. THE WINDS OF THIS CULTURAL WAR ARE BLOWING AGAINST GOD'S PEOPLE.

I stand with them leaning into that wind no matter what this president and his government says. This is the right thing to do. It's the only thing to do.

We won't get this nation back on course until we get these matters of sinful behavior right with God.

EVOLUTION COMPLETE: DEMS TO ADOPT SAME-SEX MARRIAGE PLATFORM, REPORT SAYS

Yesterday, the Democratic Party platform drafters approved language that would make same-sex marriage a plank in the platform. According to Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), an openly gay congressman who sits on the committee, the 15-member panel universally supported the same-sex marriage plank. “I was part of a unanimous decision to include it,” Frank explained. “There was a unanimous decision in the drafting committee to include it in the platform, which I supported, but everybody was for it.”

Virginians disapprove same-sex marriage by a margin of 49-42 percent; North Carolinians approved Amendment One, the Constitutional amendment protecting traditional marriage, by a margin of 61-39.

Black pastors target Obama

Black pastors target Obama

A large coalition of African-American pastors, snubbed by President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder in their demand for a meeting to discuss same-sex marriage, are calling on blacks to boycott the president and sign a petition demanding that the administration withdraw support for gay marriage.

“By embracing gay marriage, President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path,” said Rev. William Owens, president of the 1,300-member Coalition of African-American Pastors. “Some things are bigger than the next election.”

THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER

TONY DIGIROLAMO- "President Obama is leading the country down an immoral path..." indeed he is on many more levels than Same-Sex Marriage.

How about the path to homosexual rights, abortion and his disdain for the Constitution of the United States.

We're with you Reverend Owens... God bless you for standing firm on the principles and precepts of God's Word!

PCUSA Vice Moderator Resigns Amid 'Divisive' Comments

Days after being elected as vice moderator of the General Assembly – the second highest elected position in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) – the Rev. Tara Spuhler McCabe resigned on Wednesday after realizing that her recent participation in a same-sex marriage was going to be disruptive.

"The amount of conversation in person and comments online indicate that my confirmation has obviously touched a nerve," she said in a speech to the Assembly. "The tension over all of this is real, and clearly the energy and passion about this issue runs deep – and isn't going away."

If the homosexual agenda in the church squared with God's Word there would not be any confusion. People that understand the Truth of the Scripture know that this is an abomination.

Coalition Calls on Black Christians to Withhold Support Until President Grants Meeting

The Coalition of African American Pastors demanded on Monday that President Obama meet with the group to address his stance on same-sex marriage. So far, the White House has refused to acknowledge the group's request but leaders say they plan to "turn up the heat" by asking black Christians to sit on the sidelines for the time being.

THE CHRISTIAN POST

TONY DIGIROLAMO- MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. THESE BLACK PASTORS ARE PATRIOTS COMING DOWN FROM THEIR PULPITS AND THEY HAVE SPOKEN AND TAKEN A STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THEY ARE TURNING AMERICA BACK TO THE FOUNDERS... AND THE CREATORS INTENT FOR THE NATION.

"We can't compete with the Hollywood folks who are raising the big bucks for the president," (Rev. Bill) Owens said. "But it was black folks who rallied around him in 2008 and for him to ignore our request with a group of clergy who represents tens of thousands of black Christians of many denominations is an insult."

This is what it means to be a Patriot! These Black pastors are heros! Honor them! Honor them!

It will be their vote that will save this country! Yes honor them! Stand with them!

God bless them, God bless America.

Southern Baptists: Gay rights not civil rights

A day after electing their first African-American president in a historic move that strives to erase its legacy of racism, Southern Baptists passed a resolution opposing the idea that same-sex marriage is a civil rights issue.

Thousands of delegates at the denomination's annual meeting in New Orleans on Wednesday were nearly unanimous in their support for the resolution that affirms their belief that marriage is "the exclusive union of one man and one woman" and that "all sexual behavior outside of marriage is sinful."
