Proposition 8 Judge Vaughn Walker Admits To Being Homosexual

Retired Federal Judge Vaughn Walker who became especially well known for overturning Proposition 8, a gay marriage ban, has finally come out of the close himself. 

In an recent interview with Reuter’s on Wednesday, Walker admitted to being involved in a 10 year homosexual relationship of his own. So what could be Walker’s motivation for doing so now? More than likely it is with the hope of marrying his gay lover in an officiated same-sex marriage which he has now legalized in the state of California.

“Walker had never previously discussed his sexual orientation in the press, but on Wednesday said he was in a 10-year relationship with a physician,” the reporter wrote.

Although, Judge Walker left the bench in January,  he did not do so without first pounding his gavel one last time to overturn Proposition 8 and thereby legalize same-sex marriages as a law for California. This was nothing more than an ungodly attempt by a practicing homosexual judge to redefine the history and institution of traditional and biblical marriage by using the courts to do so.

Walker overturned Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment which clearly defines marriage as being that between one man and one woman.  Furthermore, Prop 8, was voted on and approved by a majority of California voters.  Thus Walker’s decision was one that would allow him to become a ’beneficiary’ of.  He excused himself before reporters with the following reasons for not recusing himself from this case,

To do so would be to go down a slippery slope where judges must recuse themselves from a judicial matter because of one’s race, gender or nationality. “It would not be a positive development if you thought a judge’s sexuality, ethnicity, national origin or gender would prevent a judge from handling a case,” he told reporters.

There was much speculation swirling about in the media and newspapers about Vaughn Walker’s sexual preferences in February 2010.  However, despite questions about his sexuality, Walker never attempted to disclose his secret gay lifestyle until now. Why?  Because rather than allowing justice to be truly served, Walker attempted to allow justice to serve and benefit him as well as other practicing gays and elesbians, by overturning Proposition 8.

Furthemore, prominent legal analysts and experts are now calling for Vaughn Walker’s controversial decision to be immediately vacated as the evidence suggest that the judge was clearly a “direct beneficiary” of his own biased ruling. 

Judge Vaughn Walker did protest to much.  The Bible says, ”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.” 

DOMA: Gay Marriages Miss the House in Rhode Island

A small DOMA victory happened in Rhode Island, and that is “Gay Marriages could not pass the House." Edith Ajello, a prominent Providence progressive, admited that the proposed bill fell short of the required number of 38 votes by at least to 6-8 needed to pass the Rhode Island House.

This was speculated to be one that rivals could easily take to the bank by some same-sex advocates.  Furthermore, even Senate members are somewhat perplexed as to why they should be pressed to vote on a bill with a public outcry on a bill believed to be already dead on arrival in Senate.  Senator Robert Flaherty, D-Warwick remarked, “The Senate’s not going to pass.” Continuing he classified the action as an "exercise in futility."

So as you can see this is yet another great victory within DOMA’s reach.  While we celebrate at this moment there is still a lot of work to be done.  As Marriage Equality Rhode Island is still promising its supporters that the bill will still pass some time this year. However, please know that your pledge of monetary or verbal support is making a huge difference!

The Emergence of Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriages

There was a time when homosexuality was not as public as it has become now.  At one time, it was viewed as shameful and grave sexual misconduct.  This behavior was often kept hidden, and kept in the closet, so to speak, by those engaged in this type of lifestyle.  However, now homosexuality and elesbianism has become up close, and personal.  Furthermore, it is a controversial issue that has been flooding the headlines, and regrettably this type of lifestyle has touched the holy institution of MARRIAGE.

In recent years, states in America has been legislating and performing wedding ceremonies for gays and lesbians, which is widely known today as same-sex marriages.  So why is this happening and becoming prevalent in a once Christian America?  It is because homosexuality is no longer regarded and viewed by a multitude of people, such as the president, federal judges, secular as well as some Christian denominations, as to what it truly is and that is a SIN.  This is what can be labeled ladies and gentlemen as religious tolerance or indifference and it is only continuing to spread as many toss up their hands in willful compromise.

A classic example of compromise, I believe can be seen when a popular Christian owned ebusiness known as eHarmony, underwent a legal battle against a New Jersey man who accused the company back in 2008 of discrimination for not including and matching same-sex partners. Consequently, eHarmony, which was launched in 2000 and widely recognized and heralded as the No.1 Trusted Relationship Service Provider, decided to settle and end the legal battle, and as of today likewise provides gay dating services.  While some may call the allowance and acceptance of same-sex unions as progression, I can only classify it as a moral regression by which the Lord will once again have to judge the world.

Respect For Marriage Act is to Respect Sin

The Respect For Marriage Act does not truly hold or have a respect for the institution of marriage as its name appears to suggest, and in this post you will discover why.  First of all, what is it and where is it originating from?

This 'would be law' is being proposed, and sponsored by a Senator in California, Dianne Feinstein.  Furthermore, what The Respect For Marriage Act is hoping to legislate into law, if able to successfully repeal DOMA through Congress, is that "same-sex couples - if married in a state that recognizes their unions - would be eligible for federal benefits such as Social Security and survivor benefits, etc."

While the proposal of this law may appear to sound noble and for the benefit of the underdog, and that is the gay, lesbian, and homosexual community and their recognition by federal law of same-sex marriages or unions, it really is NOT.

First of all, The Respect For Marriage Act has NO respect for God, because it has no respect for biblical and traditional marriage as declared, instituted, and set forth in the Constitution of His Word by Him---THE HOLY BIBLE and, thus, in its efforts to legislate this apparent law upon repealing DOMA, proves to only demonstrate and legitimize a respect of willful sin (i.e. homosexuality) by mankind.

Regrettably, 15 years since passing the DOMA LAW, peoples beliefs and values has likewise been on a moral and spiritual decline.  And if the Pew Poll is accurate - 45% of adults now support same-sex marriages while 46% oppose it.  However, what this suggests is NOT any type of advancement in our society, but rather a digression, as multitudes of people have allowed themselves to become tolerant of what the Bible clearly categorizes as SIN, and furthermore CONDEMNS, likewise compromising God's truth.

Finally, supporting The Respect For Marriage Act or any type of immoral or ungodly behavior of any kind is to likewise respect and promote what has been biblically classified as sin, and will prove in the end to not be for the overall good of humankind, but rather to its ultimate detriment.

Defend DOMA: Take the Challenge For Marriage

This is a clarion call going out to ALL supporters of traditional and canonical marriage.  As outlined and set forth in the divine constitution of the Holy Bible, the Creator declares that marriage is His design and is to be between one man and one woman only. Furthermore, scripture clearly and fully supports this law known as DOMA, because Section 3 clearly reflects the LORD's divine mandate and law concerning men and women who decide to marry.  Yet, with Obama's recent decision or better yet betrayal concerning DOMA, there are now many challenges that lie ahead.  Nevertheless, we can all still make a difference. 

So I invite you to join us by likewise signing up to take the challenge for marriage and thus support DOMA with either a one time financial gift or a small monthly gift.  Whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated.  For we should all participate and do what we can as servants of the Lord our God to make out voices heard by taking the necessary action to help enable the appropriate officials to continue in the fight to legally enforce this law.  Afterall, we don't need a LEGALIZED Sodom and Gomorrah in America nor the world for that matter.

President Obama Just Says No To DOMA



Photograph by Zimbio

 President Barack Obama has just said NO to DOMA.  In February of this year our U.S. leader finally took off the DOMA Mask that he has been masquarding behind since entering the White House. Revealing his true thoughts and intentions where DOMA is concerned, Obama has declared and asserted it to be "unconstitutional."

Whereas many may think President Obama has suddenly done an about face where this 1996 federal law is concerned, we beg to differ.  In our opinion, we believe that the President has known since entering office that he had NO real intention of allowing the federal government to continue in its efforts of re-enforcing and backing DOMA. Thus, this law no longer has his or the federal government's full support or allegiance and furthermore, it was inevitable and only a matter of time before he would finally stop the charade altogether.

Several sources have cited the President as saying "he was still grappling with the issue...his feelings were still evolving." Yet, Obama did not appear to be grappling with the issue when campaigning and running for office when listening to his so-called eloquent speeches.  Maybe, he had not read Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act at that time.  Regardless, the President has definitely had a paradigm shift. 

Consequently, it would be wise for the people of America to heed these words from the Holy Bible, and that is "a double minded man is unstable in all of his ways" and maybe it is high time the American people stop grappling with the issue on whether to re-elect him as president or not.  After all, President Obama promised CHANGE and we've seen the negative effects and consequences of it, and you can bet there is more on the near horizon too, especially with him behind the helm.

Myths About Marriage and Long Life

Will You Marry Me?

On a lighter side, we thought you might enjoy taking this brief quiz concerning two possible myths surrounding marriage, whether you are currently enjoying marital bliss or are single and on the prowl.

1. To raise the chances of a long life, women should get married. Myth or On the Money?

2. To raise the chances of a long life, men should get married. Myth or On the Money?

First, before providing the answers to these questions , let's just look at a few scriptural references on what the Bible has to say about living a long life and its association with that of being married. First in Genesis 2, we discover that God created the woman for the purpose of being a "help meet" for man. 

• In Genesis 2:18 the Lord says that "is is not good that man should be alone; I will make him an help meet (i.e. suitable and opposite) for him."  So the institution of marriage was established by the Lord and not by man. 
• Proverbs 5:18 likewise encourages "husbands to rejoice with the wife of their youth."
• I Corinthians Chapter 7, Paul encourages the single person where marriage or not being married is concerned.  It reads, "every person has his/her proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that." This means that whether you're single or married it is a gift of God.

So what does the Bible say about long life and its connection with marriage, if anything?

• The only thing that I have read is that children are instructed to "honor and obey father and mother: that their days may be long upon the land." (Exodus 20)
• Also, in Psalm 91:14-15 we read about those who "set their love upon the Lord and know his Name does He promise to satisfy with long life."
• And in Psalm 90:10 tells us that our "days are 70 years of age; and if by reason of strength they be 80 years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away."

Well with that said, let's get on to the answers to these two intriguing questions.

And the Answer is ...

Question 1: Myth. The Longevity Project clearly revealed that single women and divorced women often stayed healthy without a husband.

Question 2: Maybe On theMoney. Men who were suited to marriage, and who got and stayed married, lived longest. But men who got divorced, especially if they then remained unmarried, were at very high risk of dying. Remember, 100% of divorces begin with marriage.

However, as far as the Bible is concerned, it does not explicitly state whether marriage adds longevity or not.  Yet, something KEY to remember is that a "happy heart is like a medicine" and maybe men are much happier and healthier when they are living in a state of marital bliss.

America: A Modern Day Sodom and Gomorrah

America has become a modern day version or even a replication of the two wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.  And God who is "beholding the evil and the good" is steadfastly looking at the gross wickedness and evil intentions of a multitude of people today, especially leaders such as Presidents and judges who have, and are bent on continuing to legislate into law that which is evil, such as abortion and as of late same-sex marriages. Thus, America most definitely resembles Sodom and Gomorrah and here are just a few ways through comparison and contrast.

The Judges of Sodom and Gomorrah
The Book of Yasher, which is an ancient book discovered in the 1800's reads in Chapter 19, Verses 1 and 3 that "the cities of Sodom had four judges to four cities...And by desire of their four judges the people of Sodom and Gomorrah had beds erected in the streets of the cities, and if a man came to these places they laid hold of him and brought him to one of their beds, and by force made him to lie in them." It is apparent that the streets became the playground for the sex crazed Sodomites, and it would appear that it was acceptable by those in authority, such as the unrighteous judges of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Likewise, our President and judges today are tolerant and accepting of such unrighteous behavior. (See Holy Bible regarding references to The Book of Yasher in Joshua 10:13, 2 Samuel 1:18).

The Judges of America
In ancient times, there was never an effort made to legalize or morally legitimize homosexual unions or legislate into law same-sex marriages, like there presently is today.  Perhaps, it was due in part to the fact that even the heathen nations feared the One true God, and this is most definitely lacking in our nation and the world. 

Increasing Wickedness Running Rampant Throughout the Earth

All kinds of violence has currently been sweeping across cities, states, and countries everywhere.  In the entire world there is apparent CHAOS as news reports cover senseless crimes and increasing bloodshed, such as the attempted overthrow of tyrannical leaders in Libya and Egypt.  Why? There is absolutely NO regard for human and innocent life, because there is NO regard for God our Creator.  Even now, we live with the constant threat of terrorism on a daily and ongoing basis, which is not new by the way.  It was something that the antediluvians also had to face, and another reason that the earth inevitably had to be destroyed (Genesis 6:5-7,11-22; Genesis 7; Genesis 17).

Sexual Immorality
Sexual immorality and infidelity has definitely been on the upswing, and you DO NOT have to look as far as Hollywood to see this to be true.  This was also a major sin that the two wicked cities were involved in.  However, again one of the "abominable" sins of Sodom and Gomorrah was that of homosexuality.  Like the judges who also passed a law that involved the erecting of beds in the streets of those cities in order to facilitate the homosexual practices, likewise America's judges are attempting to facilitate homosexuality and gay unions, by passing into laws to legalize same-sex unions, which is in direct opposition to God's divine law.

Finally, Marriage is a holy institution established by God and is NOT to be tampered with. The Bible clearly and explicitly warns that what "God has joined together, let NO one separate or divide."  When mankind violates and tampers with God's created order of male and female, by exploring a same gendered relationship, the result is category confusion, with one partner of such unions being mascularized and the other feminized in every instance.

Yet, in spite of this America has likewise and selectively chosen the path of the antediluvians of Noah's and Sodom and Gomorrah's day, whose end was DESTRUCTION when God destroyed the earth with a global and world-wide flood as well as burnt the cities of the plain, Sodom and Gomorrah, to the ground (Genesis Chapter 7; Genesis 18:20-33; Genesis Chapter 19) . And once again America and the world by an large has made itself ripe for His divine and, yes, impending judgment.

The Righteous Judge Declares Same-Sex Marriages Unconstitutional

In the news as of late, we have heard how several federal judges, particularly the ruling by Federal Judge Joseph Tauro of Boston's First Circuit Court, declared DOMA as being "unconstitutional."  READ HERE Judge Tauro's blasphemous remarks.  Likewise, in February of this 2011 year, we learned of our leader and chief, President Obama's and the Federal government's recent decision to no longer defend or support DOMA which we will address fully in another post.

The Obama administration can also go on record as labeling and proclaiming this 1996 law, designed for the sole purpose of preserving, protecting, and defending traditional and biblical marriage, as likewise being "unconsitutional." READ HERE Attorney General Eric Holder's puppet statement. Furthemore, there are over a dozen other sources that can be cited. So what is the problem here with America and the world by and large?  SIN! 

UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

This nation and the world has fast been taking on the appearance and resemblance of the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah, by condoning that which the Righteous Judge of all the earth has already condemned, by attempting to overthrow this sacred institution, MARRIAGE, established NOT by man, but only by the Creator. Thus, God has decreed by His own Everlasting Laws Same-Sex Marriages and unions as "UNCONSTITUTIONAL!"

So whose laws do you think will take precedence and prevail in the FINAL scheme of things? God's or Man's? The answer is quite obvious and should be apparent to all who have ears to listen as well as hearts to receive.  See the only outcome for those continuing along this course, whether by attempting to legislate into the laws of this land (i.e. federal judges, the United States President, Senate and Congress, etc.) or whether through active participation and engagement in this type of lifestyle and behavior, thereby, denying the TRUTH (i.e. homosexuals, lesbians, etc.), is an OVERTHROW by God. 

The Righteous Judge, Jesus Christ, will inevitably allow the fires of His wrath to burn as He pours forth His divine judgment against gross sin and wickedness of all kinds, and much like He did with those two wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.  Why? Because, the laws and ordinances of God have already established and fitted the sexes together, as well as having defined marriage as that of being between one man and one woman, and anything in opposition to the will of God is SIN.  Same-sex marriages or unions, the Righteous Judge has already revealed and declared as "UNCONSTITUTIONAL" by His standards and as outlined in The Consitution of His Word, The Holy Bible (See Genesis 1:27, 2:18, 22-24; Leviticus 18:22, 20:13; Matthew 19:4-6; Romans 1:26-27 to name just a few).

Jesus Words About Marriage

Jesus tells us that Marriage between a man and woman is a holy union instituted and established by God.  He said in Matthew 19:5-6 that when a man and woman come before God in matrimony that they are no longer two, but are joined together as one flesh.  He quoted from Genesis 2:24, and He used the word "cleave" which means to join fast, cement, or glue. 

Marriage is a sacred bond that is not to be taken lightly, or interfered with in any way, by any person, including the President or Judges of the Courts.  In fact, Jesus emphasized the sanctity of marriage, saying, "therefore what God hath joined together, let not man put asunder (i.e. divide or separate)."  However, most people in our society today no longer view marriage as sacred.  Many couples are entering into loveless marriages which only seal their fate for failure.  Others are forsaking their marriage vows by engaging in adulterous relationships and affairs. 

Furthermore, Courts and judges in some countries are now passing legislation permitting "same sex marriages" which further makes a mockery out of this holy institution, and only to this world's detriment and destruction.  Thus, this is where a law known as DOMA came into play back in 1996.  DOMA defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman for purposes of all federal laws, and provides that states need not recognize a marriage from another state if it is between persons of the same sex. So the purpose of DOMA has been to protect and defend traditional or biblical marriage which is the only union decreed and outlined by the Laws of God, as ACCEPTABLE or PERMISSIBLE.

Jesus said in Matthew 19:4 the following, "Have you NOT read , that he which made them in the beginning made them male and female."  Paul, in a letter to believers at the Church of Rome, urged them to avoid engaging in behavior similiar the heathen and unsaved, saying in Romans 1:26-28, 32 the following, "This is why God has given them up to degrading passions; so that their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural; and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burned with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appopriate to their perversion."  In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things." CJB

Remember, God created marriage to be a union between a man and a woman.  For God's Holy Name will never figure into the equation of "same-sex unions", "loveless marriages", or "adulterous affairs."

DOMA: The Origin of Canonical and Traditional Marriage

The very origin of marriage began with the first created couple known as ADAM and EVE.  Furthermore, the holy institution of their marriage was performed by the Creator God Himself.  He was the Father of the Bride (i.e. Eve) who brought her and gave her away to Adam, and God stood beside him as Best Man too.

God saw after creating man, that he needed a like or similar companion.  Genesis 2:18 says that the Divine Trinity said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet (i.e. suitable) for him." And, the Word of God says that even the created animals of every kind could NOT satisfy or meet this requirement (see Genesis 2:20).

So what did the Lord do?  He caused Adam to go into a deep sleep.  So while Adam was sedated so to speak, and in a deep REM sleep, the LORD took a rib from the man and formed what Adam himself identified and referred to as Wo-man (see Genesis 2:21-22).  See even he recognized that she was a vital and necessary PART of him, proclaiming "this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man."

The divine ordination of marriage act as declared by God surrounding this most sacred and holy institution as listed in the Covenant designed only between male and female unions is GENESIS 2 VERSE 24: Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his WIFE: and they shall be one flesh. For it apparent that even in our created and gendered bodies, that the obvious complement of a man is that of the woman's and vice versa.  This is the only natural and normal process by God which allows for procreation and the bringing forth and continuance of children, offspring, and future generations.  And the Word of the Lord says there are NO EXCEPTIONS to this!
