Friends, on 26 June 2015 America died,
this date will live in infamy. The “Supreme
Idiots” on America’s Dictatorship Court overturned hundreds of years of
Judeo-Christian rule of law and vetoed over 50 million votes of Americans in
several states who voted for traditional marriage. God will not be mocked and
this abomination will ultimately be destroyed by God. I believe his judgment
will be sooner rather than later. We have moved from God’s chastisement to God’s
judgment. For example, the drought on our west coast will accelerate. The
President must have had a “heads up” because that evening he lit the White
House in LBGT colors.
Friday was the last nail in the coffin of
our states’ rights.
The conquering rainbow (6 colors signifying the sign of
man, vs. the 7 colors of God’s rainbow signifying completeness and God’s
eternal promise) flag of the LBGT movement has replaced the Confederate states
right flag.
In Psalm 2:1-6, 10-12 God says, “Why
do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth
rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed,
saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the
Lord scoffs at them. He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his
wrath, saying, “I have INSTALLED
my king on Zion, my
holy mountain.”
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned,
you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with
trembling.
Kiss his son, or he will be angry and
your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him
The human educated idiots on the Dictatorship Court demanded that the American
people walk away from millennia of history and the reality of human nature.
Dr. David
R. Reagan, the Founder & Director, Lamb & Lion Ministries wrote the
following:
In reaching a
decision so lacking in foundation in the text of the Constitution, in our
history, and in our traditions, the Court has done serious damage to its own
legitimacy. Just as with Roe
v. Wade in 1973, the
courts will not have the final say on this profound social matter. We will not
lapse into silence but will continue to speak uncompromisingly for the truth
about what marriage is, always has been, and always will be: the union of one
man and one woman.
The Supreme
Court decided that it is the Supreme Being. It spit on God's Word and endorsed
the abominable, immoral concept that the definition of marriage can be expanded
to include a union between two people of the same sex.
The God of
this universe is the One who created and defined marriage as a union between
one man and one woman, and no one has the authority to change that definition
(Matthew 19:4-5).
Further,
God's Word makes it crystal clear that homosexuality is an abomination in God's
sight and its practice is sufficient to preclude one from the kingdom of God (1
Corinthians 6:9-11).
And the first chapter of the book of
Romans states that a society's acceptance of homosexuality is a sign that it is
under the judgment of God and is begging for destruction (Romans 1:18-27).
From a
secular viewpoint, it must be noted that the Court's decision, like its
previous decision legalizing abortion, is unconstitutional. Such matters as abortion and
marriage are entrusted to the States under our national constitution. The only
proper decision by the Supreme Court from a legal viewpoint would have been for
it to deny that it has any jurisdiction and that the matter of defining
marriage is a power of the States.
Chief
Justice John Roberts emphasized this point about State's rights in his
dissenting opinion:
"...this Court is not a legislature.
Whether same-sex marriage is a good idea should be of no concern to us. Under
the Constitution, judges have power to say what the law is, not what it should
be... The fundamental
right to marry does not include a right to make a State change its definition
of marriage. And a State's decision to maintain the meaning of marriage
that has persisted in every culture throughout human history can hardly be
called irrational. In short, our Constitution does not enact any one theory of
marriage. The people of a State are free to expand marriage to include same-sex
couples, or to retain the historic definition."
Further, all the dissenting judges (Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas) emphasized
that it is completely undemocratic
for the Court to impose its viewpoint concerning such an important social and
moral issue on the entire nation. Consider the words of Justice Antonin Scalia:
"Today's decree 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. The opinion in these cases is the
furthest extension in fact — and the furthest extension one can even imagine —
of the Court's claimed power to create 'liberties' that the Constitution and
its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by
an unelected committee of
nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of
liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the
Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves."
Chief Justice Roberts agreed with Scalia on this important point:
"Those
who founded our country would not recognize the majority's conception of the
judicial role. They after
all risked their lives and fortunes for the precious right to govern
themselves. They would never have imagined yielding that right on a
question of social policy to unaccountable and unelected judges."
Many years ago I remember seeing an interview of Justice Hugo Black (1886-1971)
on television in which he was asked about his role as a Supreme Court Justice.
He made it very clear that the role of a justice should not be to determine
whether or not a law is a good or bad one, or whether it is stupid or
reasonable, but only whether or not it is constitutional. The majority of
justices who agreed today to Justice Anthony Kennedy's opinion have rejected
that concept. They argued that not all issues could be foreseen by our nation's
Founders, and so they argued that the Supreme Court must serve as the arbiter
of those issues, not the democratic process. They ignored the fact that our
Founders provided for such matters by providing for a system of constitutional
amendment.
Accordingly,
Justice Scalia branded the Court's decision as a "judicial putsch."
He wrote, "The five
Justices who compose today's majority are entirely comfortable concluding that
every State violated the Constitution for all of the 135 years between the
Fourteenth's ratification and Massachusetts' permitting of same-sex marriages
in 2003." In like manner, Chief Justice Roberts called the Court's
decision an exercise in "judicial
supremacy."
Justice
Scalia, known for his brilliant, scathing dissents, summed up his feelings with
these words:
This is a
naked judicial claim to legislative — indeed, super-legislative — power; a
claim fundamentally at odds with our system of government. Except as limited by
a constitutional prohibition agreed to by the People, the States are free to
adopt whatever laws they like, even those that offend the esteemed Justices'
'reasoned judgment.' A
system of government that makes the People subordinate to a committee of nine
unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy.
Justice Scalia supplied a very interesting insight into the Court itself when
he pointed out that it is not representative of the nation in any way and
therefore has no right to legislate. He noted that all nine justices have law
degrees from either Harvard or Yale. Six are from New York or New Jersey
(Scalia, Roberts, Alito, Ginsburg, Sotomayor and Kagan), two are from
California (Breyer and Kennedy) and one is from Georgia (Thomas). Not a one of
them is from the Southwest, nor is there a true Westerner on the Court. And
most significantly, none of them are Evangelicals or even members of a
Protestant denomination! Six are Catholics (Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, Kennedy,
Alito and Sotomayor) and three are Jews (Breyer, Ginsburg and Kagan). Scalia's
conclusion about this make-up of the Court was as follows:
...to
allow the policy question of same-sex marriage to be considered and resolved by
a select, patrician, highly unrepresentative panel of nine is to violate a
principle even more fundamental than no taxation without representation: no social transformation without
representation.
Justice Scalia also expressed sincere concern about how the Court's decision
will impact the free exercise of religion on the part of those who differ with
the decision on biblical grounds. He pointed out that the majority decision
emphasized that the decision would not impact the right of believers to
continue to "advocate" and "teach" their views of marriage.
But the First Amendment guarantees the free "exercise" of religion,
and that is a word the court "ominously" did not use.
We can be
assured that there will now be an all-out assault on Christians by the Gay
Mafia as they attempt to force us to violate our biblical beliefs. They will
confront all Christian businesses that participate in any way in marriage
ceremonies, they will insist that ministers perform their marriage rites and
they will demand that churches host their weddings. And when churches and
ministers refuse, there will be a demand for them to be stripped of tax exemptions
and benefits (like the housing allowance for pastors). And you can also be
assured that ultimately there will be attempts to make even anti-Gay speech,
including sermons, illegal as "hate crimes."
Note the date: June 26, 2015. It is the
date that should be put on the headstone of our nation because it is the day
that America died. We have sealed our destruction. We are now a walking-dead
nation.
In Psalm 73 God says: 1Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
2But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh
slipped.
3For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the
wicked.
4For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued
like other men.
6Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence
covereth them as a garment.
7Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could
wish.
8They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they
speak loftily.
9They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh
through the earth.
10Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are
wrung out to them.
11And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the
most High?
12Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they
increase in riches.
13Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in
innocency.
14For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every
morning.
15If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the
generation of thy children.
16When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
17Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their
end.
18Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them
down into destruction.
19How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are
utterly consumed with terrors.
20As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou
shalt despise their image.
21Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
22So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
23Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by MY
RIGHT
hand.
24Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to
glory.
25Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that
I desire beside thee.
26My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my
heart, and my portion for ever.
27For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast
destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
28But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in
the Lord God, that I
may declare all thy works.
