Gay Marriage Now the Law in All 50 States!

Is the Supreme Court ruling today a surprise?

Nope.

Is it still shocking to see it in headline news and realize it's now a reality?

Yep.

The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the U.S. Constitution provides same-sex couples the right to marry, handing a historic triumph to the American gay rights movement.

The court ruled 5-4 that the Constitution's guarantees of due process and equal protection under the law mean that states cannot ban same-sex marriages. With the landmark ruling, gay marriage becomes legal in all 50 states.

Immediately after the decision, same-sex couples in many of states where gay marriage had been banned headed to county clerks’ offices for marriage licenses as state officials issued statements saying they would respect the ruling.

President Barack Obama, appearing in the White House Rose Garden, hailed the ruling as a milestone in American justice that arrived "like a thunderbolt."

"This ruling is a victory for America," said Obama, the first sitting president to support gay marriage. "This decision affirms what millions of Americans already believe in their hearts. When all Americans are treated as equal, we are all more free."

Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing on behalf of the court, said the hope of gay people intending to marry "is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization's oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right."

Kennedy, a conservative who often casts the deciding vote in close cases, was joined in the majority by the court's four liberal justices.

Kennedy, appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan in 1988, has now authored all four of the court's major gay rights rulings, with the first coming in 1996. As with his 2013 opinion when the court struck down a federal law that denied benefits to same-sex couples, Kennedy stressed the dignity of marriage.

"Without the recognition, stability and predictability marriage offers, their children suffer the stigma of knowing their families are somehow lesser," Kennedy wrote.

In a blistering dissenting opinion, conservative Justice Antonin Scalia said the decision shows the court is a "threat to American democracy." The ruling "says that my ruler and the ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court," Scalia added.

Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts read a summary of his dissent from the bench, the first time he has done so in his 10 years on the court. Roberts said although there are strong policy arguments in same-sex marriage, it was not the court's role to force states to change their marriage laws.

Let's go an revisit an article I first saw in 2008 when the state laws of gay marriage were starting to tip as California and MA legalized it .  Please notice what was happening in the DAYS OF NOAH.

Both the Massachusetts Superior Court and the California Supreme Court by a one-judge margin redefined what marriage has always been in every culture and every religion for more than 5,000 years of recorded history.

Why does this matter?

As I wrote about in my book, “The Criminalization of Christianity,” Jeffrey Satinover, who holds an M.D. from Princeton and doctorates from Yale, MIT and Harvard, was on my radio program one day and I asked him about where we are in history. He explained that according to the “Babylonian Talmud” – the book of rabbis’ interpretation of the scriptures 1,000 years before Christ, there was only one time in history that reflects where we are right now. There was only one time in history, according to these writings, where men were given in marriage to men, and women given in marriage to women.

Want to venture a guess as to when? No, it wasn’t in Sodom and Gomorrah, although that was my guess. Homosexuality was rampant there, of course, but according to the Talmud, not homosexual “marriage.” What about ancient Greece? Rome? No. Babylon? No again. The one time in history when homosexual “marriage” was practiced was … during the days of Noah. And according to Satinover, that’s what the “Babylonian Talmud” attributes as the final straw that led to the Flood.

Wow!  Jesus said at His return for His Bride that things will be AS THEY WERE IN THE DAYS OF NOAH!!

Matthew 24
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away.

Could the fact that America is now going to marry gays in all 50 states be one more sign that Jesus is close...and that the END OF THE AGE OF GRACE is at hand?

"When you see all these things beginning to happen then lift up your heads for your redemption is near."--Jesus

Yep, lots of "these things" are all happening ALL AT ONCE.  Are we all ready to meet Jesus?  Are we all ready to give an accounting of what we have done with the talents He has given us?  Are we all satisfied with number of disciples we have made in Jesus' name?  Are we all ready to give an accounting of our works done AFTER salvation to the Creator of the Universe, Jesus Christ?

If not...what are we waiting for?

Accept Gay Marriage or USA Won't Defend You From Muslim Terrorists

Every day we post articles that some may find concerning.  These next comments by Congressman Louie Gohmert are particularly troubling.

On June 4, 2015, Rep. Louie Gohmert spoke before the United States House of Representatives and the chilling things he said were put into the Congressional Record. He said there have been articles (I assume in newspapers) that say a Catholic Bishop in Nigeria asked the United States to help the Christians that are being killed, kidnapped, raped and abused by the violent Islamic terrorists known as Boko Haram.

Mr. Gohmert said according to these articles, officials in the Obama Administration told the Catholic Bishop the Nigerian Christians would not receive any help from the United States unless they changed their laws about same-sex marriage and agreed to start paying for abortions (Google it).

Mr. Gohmert also put into the Congressional record that other members of Congress have told him the same thing that the articles said. He said other members of Congress have traveled to East African nations and come back saying the Obama Administration has informed East African Christians that the United States will help defend them against terrorism and persecution if they will change their beliefs about same-sex marriage and start paying for abortions, but the United States won’t help them if they refuse to make these changes.

Mr. Gohmert also put the following in the Congressional record: “If there is a God as the Bible talks about, there will be a price to this nation for acting in such a way.”

Wow!  Do gay marriage and kill your children or USA won't help you!!  Is that really coming from this "great" nation??  A nation that still claims to be a Christian nation?

Back when the Jews were being rounded up and butchered, Cuba turned back a ship (S.S. St Louis) with some 900 Jews on it who were seeking safety from the Nazi death camps.  The ship then sailed to America and was refused safe harbor.  Ultimately they had to go back to Europe where as many as 90% are claimed to have died at the hands of the Nazis.

As I read that story I always asked how America could do that to the Jews?

As the ship neared Havana, only 27 passengers with “valid” entry documents were allowed to disembark before the vessel was turned away by Cuban officials. The St. Louis then steamed toward the Florida coast, where passengers saw the lights of Miami in the distance. Once again, the ship was turned away, this time by the U.S. government, which cited quotas that limited the number of immigrants who were allowed into the country each year.

On June 6, 1939, as the ship sailed back to Europe amid growing media publicity about its fate, European Jewish organizations and government representatives arranged for Belgium, Holland, France, and Great Britain to receive the remaining passengers.

But as hostilities in Europe were escalating, it became clear to Eva’s parents that Britain would be the safest choice. On June 21, the Great Britain contingent arrived in Southampton on a cargo ship and was taken to London. Upon arrival, the German-Jewish Aid Committee helped the passengers find housing and obtain living expenses.

“I was the youngest girl on the St. Louis,” said Eva Wiener. “There was a baby boy on the ship that was two months younger. But as I grew up, my parents shared the truth of that journey with me. I was always aware of the circumstances that forced us to take that trip.”

Estimates vary as to the number of passengers who survived, with some researchers claiming that some 50 percent of them perished. But according to Wiener, only 10 percent of the passengers who returned to continental Europe survived the Holocaust; 90 percent died at the hands of the Nazis. Some members of Wiener’s family who had never left Europe simply disappeared, she said.

Now as I read Rep. Gohmert's comments I wonder how America can be so totally oblivious to the cries from Christians around the world.

Even more appalling is that most Americans sitting in their church pews sipping Starbucks daydreaming through another sermon on grace, have NO CLUE how these Christians are suffering.

And even if we do know....do we really care?

Russian Islamists Pledge Allegiance to ISIS

Everyone likes to side with the winning team.  Maybe that explains the appeal of ISIS to so many Muslims from all over the world?

As ISIS seems to make the daily news with more victories and more hi-def videos of gory executions, Muslims from all over the world are attracted to them and their bloody quest for world domination.

Honestly, who can explain the power of Satan and his uncanny ability to deceive?

Islamists in four regions of Russia's Caucasus have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, according to a recording which was welcomed by ISIS after being posted online.

The voice recording posted on YouTube Sunday said Islamists in Russia's Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia and Kabardino-Balkaria regions had all swore fealty to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, head of the feared jihadist group.

"Obeying the order of Allah... we are declaring our allegiance to Caliph Ibrahim ben Awwad ben Ibrahim al Badri al-Qoureishi al Husseini for obedience and subordination," the recording in both Arabic and Russian says, referring to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

"We testify that all mujahedeen of the Caucasus... are united in this decision and there are no disagreements among us on this issue," the male voice says, listing the four Russian regions.

A spokesman for Islamic State group, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, on Tuesday welcomed the news in a recording of his own.

"We congratulate the soldiers of Islamic State in the Caucasus... we congratulate them for making allegiance to the Caliph. He accepts your allegiance and names Sheikh Abu Mohammad al-Qadari as (governor) of the Caucasus."

Russian officials maintain that thousands of Russians, many of them from the Caucasus, have traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight alongside the Islamic State group.

On Wednesday, the deputy secretary of Russia's security council put the figure at "up to 2,000".

Some jihadists from the region have already issued videos supporting al-Baghdadi.

Their return, usually through Turkey where they "pretend to be tourists who lost their documents" will "pose a problem," he was reported as saying by Interfax.

The Bible lists some nations who will be prevalent in the VERY Last Days....so we watch for news regarding these nations to better understand the season we are in.  Russia, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Turkey and Israel are a few of those nations....all of whom have been front and center in the news almost every single day for the past few years.

Of course we have no idea if the Muslim-horde consisting of Boko Haram, Hezbollah, Hamas, ISIS, Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood and numerous other murderous Muslim groups will simply burn themselves out once they get sick of raping and murdering...OR....if it's a demonic cancer that has now metastasized and is in the process of strengthening and spreading to the entire world?  We just don't know.

I just wonder where all the "Moderate" Muslim armies and nations are?  How come they haven't risen up and been appalled at the behavior of ISIS?  Why haven't more joined into the fight against ISIS?

One retired U.S. General interviewed on FOX said that there is nothing the USA can do about stopping ISIS.  The million dollar bombs we are dropping everyday on ISIS targets aren't going to stop them and we have no intention of sending a few hundred thousand troops over there to try and referee this Muslim-death-cult-free-for-all.

So for now all we can do is watch the Islamist propaganda videos and HOPE it burns itself out....before the blood-lust invades Europe and America.

Apostle Paul told us our battles aren't against flesh and blood but against the unseen, spiritual forces of Satan who are dragging the souls of men into the pit of hell every single day.  We won't defeat 1 billion Muslims with guns and bullets....it will have to be done with prayer.  Does America, running headlong into idolatry and godlessness, have many prayer warriors anymore?  Are the pews of our churches sound asleep to the enemy at the gate?  Are there enough pastors sounding the alarm?

Personally, I don't think so.  Lord help us.

Ahmadinejad Says USA Trying to Arrest 12th Imam

Our old friend, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is back in the news!  He's still looking for the 12th Imam to be revealed on planet earth so he can commence setting up his global caliphate and start killing all the Jews and Christians.

But now he has a warning to his followers...

Is there no end to the evils of the Great Satan?

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has claimed the United States is trying to arrest the Shia Muslim messiah, known as the "Hidden Imam," in bizarre speech to his supporters Monday.

In comments made to a group of clerics, which were posted by his supporters on the Dolatebahar.com website, Ahmadinejad claimed the US was putting an intense effort into capturing the Hidden Imam, whose imminent return is expected by followers of the so-called Twelver Shia sect of which the former president is a member.

"They've done so much research about the Hidden Imam in the human science universities of the United States that I am not exaggerating by saying that it is a thousand times more than all the work done in the seminaries of Qom, Najaf, and Mashhad," he told supporters, according to a translation by Radio Free Europe, referring to three Shia holy cities in Iran and Iraq.

According to Twelver Shias the "Hidden Imam" is the "Mahdi" - the Muslim messiah - and the twelfth in a series of Shia religious figures born in the 9th century, who will return to earth along with Jesus to redeem mankind. Other Muslims, including most Shias, believe the Mahdi has not been born yet.

"To quote a friend, they've completed a case against the Hidden Imam, and closed it also for his arrest," he said of the US, accusing the "evil" American government of fearing that the Imam's return would end its "empire."

​"It is really a government established by Satan to prevent reaching God and the Hidden Imam... This evil government knows that its end will come if the Hidden Imam reappears," he railed.

But it appears the Hidden Imam still has something of an edge over US intelligence services, since according to Ahmadinejad "the only [evidence] they lack is his picture" - an crucial piece of evidence no doubt.

Ahmadinejad warned those gathered not to be complacent, though he admitted that many people "laugh about these comments."

Never.

It's easy to read these articles and wave your hand and say, "That dude is crazy!"...thereby dismissing the entire thing.  But that's too easy and it simply isn't true!  These Muslims aren't crazy...they are deceived by Satan but they aren't crazy.

"But Dennis, they think YOU are deceived by Satan since you accept Jesus as your savior and believe he is the eternal Son of the living God.  So how do you know YOU aren't the crazy one and that Ahmadinejad is actually correct?  If you are watching for Jesus and he is watching for 12th Imam, maybe you are both crazy!"

Sorry.  The Bible is the ONLY book that has accurately foretold the future thereby PROVING that it is a book that was written outside our time zone.  The Koran and the Hadiths were written 800 years after Christ had been resurrected and ascended into heaven.  Christianity had spread over the entire Middle East and Satan decided he didn't like its rapid spread....so he got hold of an illiterate-pervert named Muhammad and started to whisper to him in a cave....whispering lies that REFUTED the TRUTH that Jesus had successfully delivered 800 years earlier.

One thing for sure....we DON'T want to have Iran get access to nuclear bombs....knowing that many of the powerful folks there believe they are to play a part in ushering in the Satanic lie called the 12th Imam.

It's very possible that many Muslims will believe the lies of the Antichrist because they may believe he is the 12th Imam.  If you doubt that line of thinking, read the book ISLAMIC ANTICHRIST by Joel Richardson.

ISIS Reveals New Ways to Kill People

Cutting people's heads off with a steak knife is terrifying....but let's face it, ISIS can only make so many videos of carving people's heads off while they gurgle in their own blood.  They need to come up with video ideas of heinous ways to kill people!

Oh yeah....they did burn that one guy alive in a cage...that was pretty heinous.

But now they give us video of three new ways to kill people!

1)  Lock them in a cage then lower the cage into the water and have underwater camera videotaping the terror of being drowned alive.

2)  Lock them in a car and then shoot the car with a grenade launcher while videotaping them men exploding into burned-alive bits.

3)  Wrap detonation explosive cord around their necks and explode their heads off...making sure to capture it all on video to entice more Muslims from around the world to come join your blood-lust-worship to the demon-moon-god, Allah.

Islamic terror group ISIS has released harrowing footage appearing to show caged prisoners being lowered into a swimming pool to drown alongside other horrific executions.

The vile group claimed that 16 men were killed in Nineveh, Iraq, after being accused of spying in a set of horrifying killings.

In the first round of executions, five terrified men can be seen being lowered into the water while locked in a cage together.

Minutes later, the cage is lifted, which shows the mean lying motionless on the cage floor.

The barbaric footage even used pricey underwater cameras which were fitted around the swimming pool to capture the scene from below the water.

But after that horrific ordeal, the video is not finished with its brutal executions.

It then cuts to show four victims locked in an old-looking car in the desert.

The video then cuts to an ISIS executioner brandishing a rocket-propelled grenade, who fires in the direction of the car.

The footage then lingers on the exploded car as in languishes in flames.

See it all here;  http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/isis-brutally-execute-prisoners-drowning-5934470

Of course we have no idea WHO these men are that they are killing...are they Christians, are they other 'moderate Muslims' or are they other 'extremist Muslims' who simply weren't extreme enough for ISIS?

I wonder WHO in the world is going to stand up to ISIS and bring them to justice?  China?  Russia? Anyone in Europe?  India?  All the "peaceful" Muslim nations like Iran, Pakistan or Turkey?

Nope, nope, nope, nope and nope!

There really is only one nation that could stop ISIS and America is simply too bankrupt (financially and spiritually) to take on the task....so we will just watch from afar and remind ourselves daily that Islam is a religion of peace, gay people getting married is a good thing, abortion is all about giving rights to women and as long as you are "spiritual", it doesn't matter what spirit you worship....because they are all pretty much the same.

Jesus asks if he will find any faith on earth when He returns.  That's a good question!!

"I am THE way, THE truth and THE life.  NO MAN comes to the Father except through me." --Jesus

Stocks Surge on Greek Debt Deal Optimism

Does the average American have anything to do with the stock market?

Maybe.

As NBC reported a hand full of months ago, most Americans don't have $500 in savings so it would be a safe assumption top say that MOST Americans don't really have anything to do with the stock market.

How about all the millions of poor people trying to live off a few bucks per day in Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala?  Do they have anything invested in the stock market?

Nope.

How about the millions of Arabs in Syria, Iraq or Yemen?  Do they have any money invested in the stock market.

Nope.

How about the hundreds of millions of poor people in India, China and Africa?

Nope.

So why is it that the rising stock market in America is headline news everyday if MOST of the world has no knowledge or interest in the stock market?

Stocks surged Monday as a  relief rally around the globe is underway that sent the Dow up more than 100 points and the Nasdaq to an all-time record high.

Stock markets in Europe are up sharply and market action on Wall Street in early trading is bullish amid hopes that a revised, last-chance Greek proposal will kick0ff real negotiations at Monday’s emergency meeting of European finance ministers. Even if a deal doesn’t get hashed out today, investors view the improved tenor of the talks as a sign a deal will likely get done later this week.

After the emergency meeting broke up, Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chairs meetings on his euro-area counterparts, confirmed that the Greek government earlier Monday submitted a new set of proposals to end the impasse over more aid to Greece.

Dijsselbloem told reporters in Brussels, according to Bloomberg, that the proposals were welcomed and that a more complete assessment is still to come.

“It’s an opportunity to get a deal this week and that’s what we’ll work for,” he said.

In early trading, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 120 points, or 0.7%, to 18,136. The Dow is on pace to erase all of Friday’s triple-digit loss. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gained 0.7%.

The Nasdaq jumped 0.7% and hit an intraday record high of 5159.36. The Russell 200 also hit a new intraday record.

Here;  http://americasmarkets.usatoday.com/2015/06/22/markets-enjoy-relief-rally-amid-greek-deal-optimism/

Let's review:  Greece cooked it's books to convince the European Union to let it in.  Once they got let in they were effectively granted the same credit rating and credit access as the responsible Germans. So the Greeks started spending and borrowing money like drunken sailors.  Once the global recession hit in 2008 the hangover began to take affect and the Greeks had piled up a massive bar tab.  They didn't have anyway to pay for it because their economy, tax collections and welfare systems have been broken for a long time.  Now the EU started to panic because it would look bad if an EU member had to drop out....so they doubled down and loaned the Greeks some more money so they could make the payments on the old money they had borrowed!  Sounds awesome!!  Anyway, the Greeks are now mad at the European Union and the IMF for loaning them more money and now they don't want to pay it back. They want the rest of the world to pay their bar tab....and now the EU isn't so sure they want to triple down.

BUT.....the U.S. stock market is soaring today because the TALKS between Greece and the EU might be going better than hoped!!

Can you see how ridiculous this all is folks?  Can you see how this who money-thing is just a big room filled with smoke and mirrors?  Can you see how one day it's all going to collapse?  Can you see how the stage seems to be getting set for the Antichrist to take control?

Remember, we all need to keep our eyes fixed on the unseen things because the things that we can see here on earth seem to be getting more deceptive every day.
