Same sex, wicca, magic,

Peter said to believers,

What the bible says"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may DEVOUR"


This page is not focused or directed on any religion or company. It is just stating the facts. All the materials on this page have been researched.  I invite you to do your own research if you are in doubt or question anything and come to your own conclusion. Always use prayer in everything you do in thought, word, or deed!  To me all this coming out about sexual abuse is not just in one church it is in ALL denominations. And as such denomination compromise and accept the 'sin' of such God will continue to clean house. God loves us ALL, yes everyone, but He must turn his back upon sin. So if a church supports the sin of the sinner, then does that not mock our God? I tremble to think about things that are going on within our Christian fellowship throughout the world in all denominations. I think that the comment made on the Catholic Church blog from a man named David sums it all up very clearly:

" David,

Pardon me, but I do not see it written in the Scriptures that Jesus loves the sin. Yes, he loves sinners but at the same time he admonishes them to sin no more.


Priest Says Bishop Olmsted Unfair to Gays

What is the churches view on same sex? Click here

Fr. Chris Carpenter, former pastor of Christ the King parish in Mesa, Arizona, has accused Bishop Thomas Olmsted of mistreating lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) Catholics.  Fr. Chris writes: "I refuse to serve as a priest in a church environment that is increasingly sending a false and destructive message that my LGBT brothers and sisters and I are little more than immature, defective sex addicts."

The priest was one of nine priests who signed an ecumenical statement of support for gay people in January 2003.  Seventeen months later, Bishop Olmsted required the signers to revoke their support.

So what do you think?  Our should I say what does the Bible Say, what is GOD'S view?

Compromise? London, Jul. 28, 2008 (CNA/CWNews.com) - The largest Catholic adoption agency in England and Wales has decided to implement an adoption policy that does not rule out same-sex couples in the face of new laws that forbid such screening. The change in its adoption policy was made with the full support of the bishops who oversee the agency. [What does this teach children about God's Standards?]

According to a new study on religion in the U.S., a majority of Americans believe that faiths other than their own can lead to eternal life. Everyone has the right way, the REAL deal, the only way. There is only one WAY. We justify our actions by man's denomination, Lets get back to the Bible. No wonder our children kill each other, drug use, sex, crime, it is the adults that have compromised over the years to allow such things that have year by year taken the heart of religion, our homes, schools and families. We like to use the word tolerance.........

This is how Christians have compromised today: Roger Oldham, a vice president with the executive committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, bristled at using the word "tolerance" in the analysis.

"If by tolerance we mean we're willing to engage or embrace a multitude of ways to salvation,[Compromise] that's no longer evangelical belief," he said. "The word 'evangelical' has been stretched so broadly, it's almost an elastic term." Compromise is the word I like to use.
God has a ZERO tolerance on SIN?

One Preist says........

"I personally, as a priest, support gay marriage. But I am unable to conduct gay marriages in my church building at present because of my bishop's policy about that," he said.

Just How much will God Allow?  Could this be a warning? Or will the big EarthQuake make the point?

 Just a act of Nature one may say?  I wonder what the people of Sodom thought? Just a rainstorem?

Week of June 23rd 2008/ An "unprecedented" lightning storm is blamed for starting more than 840 wildfires in Northern California. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he finds the number "quite shocking," as firefighters from Nevada and Oregon help battle the blazes.

From Snow White to Harry Potter   "Little Foxes spoil the goods" Just look at our values and morals today, the compromise, in our music, our movies Im not speaking porn or adult content, I'm talking childrens movies with adult content represented by companies you would never expect. Even toys that children play with have had sexual content within them. The devil since the garden used SEX as a tool. If not why did Adam and Even want to hide themselves and cover themselves. God created man and woman as a beautiful thing, the devil perverted it as he still is today in 2008. Marraige in the eyes of God was a very special covenant made between a man and a woman and with compromise of man and his choice in lifestyle will follow with consequences from God. They are coming!

NEWS BRIEF: "60,000 Gays Find It's A Small World At Disney", Detroit Press, by Brad Reuter, , Monday, June 9, 1998. Now 20 years latter 2008 the floodgates of HELL have been opened.

In our denominations it is becomeing and some have allowed it? What message does this send to our children. Snow White is ok with magic and our churches say this lifestyle is a devine gift? Then the Bible is a LIE?  The Little Mermaid?  The city of Gold the roads lead to a giant? Yes your eyes see the same thing that is very clear. It is time we open the eyes of our HEARTS to see what is really been happening for the last 20 years.  There is no mistake.....the pictures below are not modified or changed it is the REAL thing. The perversion of our culture that we have opened the doors to and been so blinded year after year.

Little MermaidYes this is what you think it is Yes you see it right. It is what you think it is. Even childrens plastic playsets contained a 10" one detailed so graphic right in the center of the tower for children to put together. How could this be such a mistake, to go into production with a childrens playset model of the City from The Little Mermaid if it was not done intentional? Think about it. You would think that A Toy companies excutives would know whats going on in the production of their toys dont you think? Well many children took out a 10" one and wondered what is this? Yes Disney said that they were so sorry, but this attack upon our children and Christian morals and values have attacked the Word of GOD with compromise now for the past 20 years the battle is being lost taking children who now are adults into the generation of compromise...anything goes?

It is important that we teach children about the Word Of God and not how society and mans law's says that certain lifestyle's are ok? It is on T.V. in movies and now in our land. Just how far will God ALLOW us? I think it is ever so important to teach children about Soldom and Gomorrah. We should warn them about the truth of this lifestyle!

It started with the introduction of just simple little things. Its only a Movie? Hey its Snow White!.  Little by little, inch by inch and now it is out of control. Christian parents have allowed the 'little foxes to spoil the goods". Hey prayer out of schools, moving away from the 10 commandments, now submitting to allowing all this the flood gates of hell have been opened upon our children. Yes even Snow White changed? However this sequel, which obviously had completely different animation, also introduced several new characters, including the Seven Dwarves cousins the Dwarf-Elves, which each had a special power.

Anything goes God has a ZERO tolerance on sin

A Vatican spokesman has defended the Harry Potter books and films, saying they are consistent with Christian morals. But the church denouces "The Golden Compas" movie and book series.  Stealing a penny from someone or a dollar from another they both are sins are they not? What makes Harry Potter different from The Golden Compass, the church the author claims to be a member of?

The Rev Peter Fleetwood, a member of the Vatican's council for culture, was speaking at the launch of a document warning of the dangers of "new age" spiritual beliefs to the Catholic faith. The draft document is designed to counter a perceived drift away from the church toward belief in crystals, feng shui and other practices not based in Christian teaching.

Asked whether the Harry Potter books fell into the same category, Mr Fleetwood said, "I don't see any, any problems in the Harry Potter series." He went on to say that the good v evil message of the books was consistent with Christian morality.

Countering suggestions from some evangelical groups that the tales of magic school add glamour to occult beliefs, he said, "I don't think there's anyone in this room who grew up without fairies, magic and angels in their imaginary world. They aren't bad.

Compromise? What does the Bible say about Harry Potter?

Yes Mr. Fleetwood we all grew up with fairirs, magic, and angels but I thank God that I had Godly parents that showed me the truth in the Word of God about such things.

Compromise is in all areas of life. Compromise opens the doors to danger!

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12I just sent a e-mail recently to a local church. I saw on T.V. that they were taking part in the new Harry Potter Movie the rise of the Pheniox. Though they did not sponser the movie they were taking part in passing out pop corn..to which I was shocked. The minister replied with a very kind mail: "We are there to reach out to the people that come, whatever the movie is, in a simple practical  way to let them know that Jesus loves them.  You may choose to say that we should only come to the movies that fit a certain criteria, but since we don't choose the movies, we've chosen to be there for the people that come as a witness of God's love for them.  Again the motive is great, to show the love of God, but their is compromise to support be present, part of this movie. The movie opens up to a spiritual attack.

 The Devil is a powerful and formidable adversary and those Christians who smugly make light of his abilities and dabble in things the Bible warns against are teetering on the very edge of disaster.

Peter said to believers, What the bible says"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may DEVOUR" (1 Pet 5:8).  And such little foxes are present all around us, and it is very visible indeed.  If children see adults attending this movie from a certain church, then they think it is ok because the so in so church member are here giving us pop corn. Think about it? I am not judging the Word of God makes it so very clear, "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them" (Ephesians 5:11). What part of this is so hard to understand. Again compromise, they could have not been present for this one movie or passed out tracts against such evil not popcorn?

Please take special note of God's prohibition against a person being a medium, or who is a wizard or who is demon possessed, here referred to as having a familiar spirit. Disney re-created Mickey Mouse in the early 1970's, as they put a wizard's hat on him and gave him a magic wand with which he cast spells. Folks, Disney made Mickey Mouse into a wizard, which God expressly forbade!! Yet, Christian parents continuously allow their children to watch this type of witchcraft on TV, in the movies, and on video. The more serious sin of Disney, in our opinion, has been the steady diet of witchcraft that Disney has been feeding our young children since Mickey donned the witches' hat in the early 1970's. Since then, we have had a very steady diet of witchcraft fed to children in very effective comedy and cartoon settings. Shows like Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Fantasia,Aladdin and Snow White are good examples of witchcraft being shown as normal and exciting.

TumnusLet's talk about Movies: Within 15 minutes of the opening scene, viewers of Walt Disney's movie, NARNIA, are face to face with Pan, the pagan fertility god which Wiccan witches worship and adore worldwide.  The image to the left pictures PAN, the pagan sex god.  The image's below is a statue of the character, Mr. Tumnus, in NARNIA. 

 Pan the sex godPan is deceitfully renamed to "Tumnus" in the movie, but anyone who is familiar with Satanism and witchcraft can instantly recognize Pan, the evil sexually-perverted god...

"Despite the declaration of his death, however, Pan is widely worshiped by Neopagans and Wiccans today, where he is considered a powerful God and an archetype of male virility and sexuality."

I believe that teaching our children witchcraft under a different guise is far more dangerous to their young minds, hearts, and souls than is homosexuality. Parents can more easily convince their children that homosexuality is sin, than they can fight this insidious instruction in witchcraft. Parents have biology on their side in fighting homosexuality, but it is far more difficult to fight this slick selling of witchcraft.

In the Lion King, for example, the monkey served the role of Shaman; yet, how many people really picked up on that? We know that the Antichrist will be an Adept in Black Magick Witchcraft [Daniel 8:23. The phrase, "a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences ..." literally means that he will be an adept in witchcraft.

         [Top of page]   Compromise in values and morals

"ORLANDO, Fla. -- There was something different this weekend about the crowd at Walt Disney World -- perhaps it was the man in a black patent-leather miniskirt and pink-rhine-stoned mouse ears amid the family vacationers."

" Gay Day , or Gay Days as it became this year, has been an annual event at Walt Disney World since 1991, when a group called Digital Queers chose Disney World as a place to meet face to face. This year, the three-day Friday to Sunday event swelled to include about 60,000 homosexual visitors."

Disney Childrens Book Division published two pro-homosexual books targeted for young minds. They were titled, "Lettin' It All Hang Out" and "Growing Up Gay". Growing Up Gay was authored by three homosexual comedians who aim their book at "gay youngsters who were bred by heterosexuals".

Schools in Sodom and Gomorrah surely taught that homosexuality was a "viable option". This pervasive attitude lead directly to the `shrieking' and `crying' that God heard emanating from their homosexual behavior. God destroyed them. It is getting very similar in America. In Genesis 19, we see that the homosexual men of the city, who surrounded Lot's house in their desire to have sexual relations with the two angels outside in public, did not fear being arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior. Why were they not afraid of arrest? Because the laws of Sodom were such that they did not prohibit such public homosexual activity. Why were the laws written this way? Because the public institutions that comprised the city were supportive of all types of homosexual sex, public and private.

We see this same situation developing in America today, with Disney leading the charge.

                        WE MUST TEACH OUR CHILDREN ABOUT MORALITY AND SIN

                                                         Hey if Mickey say's its ok?

Love the person but the sin is a sin. It is not OK in God's eyes.

Genesis i: 26, 27, 28.

26  And God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female image, created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.HERE is the sacred historian's first account of the advent of woman; a simultaneous creation of both sexes, in the image of God. God had a purpose, a plan, it is man that has used his own freewill to choose a lifestyle of same sex.

Animals Do It, So It's Natural, Right? WRONG

This line of reasoning is unsustainable. If seemingly "homosexual" acts among animals are in accordance with animal nature, then parental killing of offspring and intra-species devouring are also in accordance with animal nature. Bringing man into the equation complicates things further. Are we to conclude that filicide and cannibalism are according to human nature? 

  1. There is no "homosexual instinct" in animals,
  2. It is poor science to "read" human motivations and sentiments into animal behavior, and
  3. Irrational animal behavior is not a yardstick to determine what is morally acceptable behavior for rational man.
There Is No "Homosexual Instinct" In Animals

Anyone engaged in the most elementary animal observation is forced to conclude that animal "homosexuality, are exceptions to normal animal behavior. Consequently, they cannot be called animal instincts. These observable exceptions to normal animal behavior result from factors beyond their instincts.

 Clashing Stimuli and Confused Animal Instincts

To explain this abnormal behavior, the first observation must be the fact that animal instincts are not bound by the absolute determinism of the physical laws governing the mineral world. In varying degrees, all living beings can adapt to circumstances. They respond to internal or external stimuli. Second, animal cognition is purely sensorial, limited to sound, odor, touch, taste and image. Thus, animals lack the precision and clarity of human intellectual perception. Therefore, animals frequently confuse one sensation with another or one object with another. Third, an animal's instincts direct it towards its end and are in accordance with its nature. However, the spontaneous thrust of the instinctive impulse can suffer modifications as it runs its course. Other sensorial images, perceptions or memories can act as new stimuli affecting the animal's behavior. Moreover, the conflict between two or more instincts can sometimes modify the original impulse. 

Jacque Lynn Schultz, ASPCA Animal Sciences Director of Special Projects, explains further:

Usually, an un-neutered male dog will mount another male dog as a display of social dominance--in other words, as a way of letting the other dog know who's boss. While not as frequent, a female dog may mount for the same reason.Dogs will also mount one another because of the vehemence of their purely chemical reaction to the smell of an estrus female: Not surprisingly, the smell of a female dog in heat can instigate a frenzy of mounting behaviors. Even other females who are not in heat will mount those who are. Males will mount males who have just been with estrus females if they still bear their scent.... And males who catch wind of the estrus odor may mount the first thing (or unlucky person) they come into contact with.

Other animals engage in seemingly "homosexual" behavior because they fail to identify the other sex properly. The lower the species in the animal kingdom, the more tenuous and difficult to detect are the differences between sexes, leading to more frequent confusion.

 "Homosexual" Animals Do Not Exist

Although homosexual behavior is very common in the animal world, it seems to be very uncommon that individual animals have a long-lasting predisposition to engage in such behavior to the exclusion of heterosexual activities. Thus, a homosexual orientation, if one can speak of such thing in animals, seems to be a rarity.Despite the "homosexual" appearances of some animal behavior, this behavior does not stem from a "homosexual" instinct that is part of animal nature. Dr. Antonio Pardo, Professor of Bioethics at the University of Navarre, Spain, explains:
Properly speaking, homosexuality does not exist among animals.... For reasons of survival, the reproductive instinct among animals is always directed towards an individual of the opposite sex. Therefore, an animal can never be homosexual as such. Nevertheless, the interaction of other instincts (particularly dominance) can result in behavior that appears to be homosexual. Such behavior cannot be equated with an animal homosexuality. All it means is that animal sexual behavior encompasses aspects beyond that of reproduction.

There are those who like to say that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality.  Various verses are cited (out of context) and the verses that people use to show that homosexuality is wrong are explained away.  The world wants to change God's words and meanings into something more suitable to its sinful desires.  Nevertheless, the truth stands:  The Bible condemns homosexuality as a sin. Let's look at what it says.

Lev. 18:22, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination."

Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them"

1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper."

      Homosexuality is clearly condemned by the Bible.   It goes against the created order of God.  He created Adam and then made a woman.  This is what God has ordained and it is what is right.  Unlike other sins, homosexuality has a severe judgment administered by God Himself. This judgment is simple: They are given over to their passions. That means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins (Romans 1:18ff). As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance and trusting in Jesus. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.

What should be the Christian's Response to the Homosexual?

      Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for him (her). Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin, it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross, repented of, and never done again.
      As a Christian, you should pray for the salvation of the homosexual the same you would any other person in sin. The homosexual is still made in the image of God -- even though he is in grave sin.  Therefore, you should show him same dignity as anyone else you come in contact with. However, this does not mean that you are to approve of their sin. Don't compromise your witness for a socially acceptable opinion that is void of godliness.

In the Biblical worldview, God looks upon the collective behavior by the citizens of a nation, and assigns the appropriate national morality. If the leaders of a nation, or a city-nation as Sodom was, refuse to enforce God's commands, then what must God do? God must then, at some point, carry out His prescribed punishment on the entire nation! In the case of this type of sexual crime, God's punishment is Capital Execution, "so shalt thou remove the evil from among you".

                        top of pagetop of page

    We must teach our children about Sodom and Gomorrah, and how God delt with such actions.

What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah? The Jude passage mentioned earlier cites "fornication" and "going after strange flesh." The Genesis passages (ch. 18 & 19) mention the citizens wanting to molest visitors, then turning on Lot who was keeping the visitors safe. Jeremiah also seems to mention sexual sin (23:14) along with lying and "strengthen[ing] the hands of evil doers." The most detailed list of Sodom's sin is found in Ezekiel 16:49 (if indeed it is not speaking figuratively of another city); "pride" and "prosperous ease" head the list, followed by the converse of Jeremiah's complaint, they "do not strengthen the hand of the poor and needy," and finally, stating that they were "haughty" and "committed abomination before God." The magnitude of Sodom's sin is also mentioned throughout the Bible as "great and grievous" (Gen.18:20), so pervasive that Abraham doubted that there were even 20 righteous people in it (Gen. 18:32), and that they acted without shame, openly displaying their sin, not hiding it (Isa.3:9).

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven. (Genesis 19:24)The Bible attributes the destruction of the cities to a fiery storm that rained down from above. Thick layers of burnt material covering the remains of the cities in the area bear this out.Stephen Collins, an Albuquerque biblical archaeologist, says he has uncovered the definitive site of Sodom and Gomorrah in Jordan.Collins has excavationed at what is known as Tall el-Hammam and is planning several more.  He is the dean of archaeology and biblical history at Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque.Its not just because we think it might be Sodom but that we can learn how people lived and what kind of crops they were growing and what kind of language if we discover inscriptions, he said. We can get a real understanding of 5,000 to 6,000 years ago and how people came and went.To give sanction to homosexual marriage would be to give approval to that lifestyle, which the Bible clearly and consistently condemns as sinful. I believe that Christians should stand firmly against the idea of gay marriage / same sex marriage. Marriage is ordained by God to be between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:21-24; Matthew 19:4-6). Homosexual marriage is a perversion of the institution of marriage and an offense to the God who created marriage. God forbids and condemns homosexuality, so He clearly is opposed to homosexual marriage. As Christians, we are to seek to share the love of God and salvation through Christ with homosexuals. We are to be loving and kind to homosexuals, while at the same time not condoning their sinful lifestyle.

When mainstream Corporate America, like Disney, begins to promote homosexuality heavily and officially, you know we are looking at one of the key prophecies telling us that we are at the End of the Age. In Luke 17:28-30, Jesus foretells, " Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed."

We are getting very close to the day when Jesus will reveal Himself, a blessed event which will occur at the end of the Tribulation Period. People will be acting much like the people in Sodom and Gomorrah, both in their daily lives and in their sexual activities. The End of the Age is upon us. Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
