It looks as though gays will be able to serve in the open soon. The headd shop personnel say it will not hurt moral and other things. I say it will and you will have a lot who will not want to serve along side of someone who admitts he or she is gay. Many will be afraid of getting AIDS on the battlefield if wounded. I also say moral will be hurt deeply. Many will not openly talk about it or to the person, but will hold it inside allowing it to fester until it bursts. Also you have family housing in the military. Will men and women who marry a same sex partner be able to obtain on base/post housing? This will cause a uproar I feel. The problems of opening the so called can of worms has not even begin to show their nasty heads, but will in the end. May GOD touch the hearts of all who are gay and they will open the door when our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST Knocks. All who are gay and believe that they can have a close and open realsonship with GOD are wrong. Being gay is a sin and GOD hates sin. May GOD help us in the days or months ahead.

Hell’s Best Kept Secret by Ray Comfort Page 5 of 10

1 Timothy, chapter 1, verse 8, says, “But we know that the law is good if it used lawfully for the purpose for
which it was designed.” God’s law is good if it’s used lawfully for the purpose for which it was designed. Well, what
was the law “designed” for? The following verse tells us: “The law was not made for a righteous man but for
sinners.” It even lists the sinners: homosexuals, fornicators. If you want to bring a homosexual to Christ, don’t get
into an argument with him over his perversion; he’s ready for you with his boxing gloves on. No, no. Give him the
ten commandments. The law was made for homosexuals. Show him that he is damned despite his perversion.

If you want to bring a Jew to Christ, lay the weight of the law upon him; let it prepare his heart for grace as
happened on the day of Pentecost. If you want to bring a Moslem to Christ, give him the law of Moses; they accept
Moses as a prophet. Well, give them the law of Moses and strip them of their self-righteousness and bring them to
the foot of a blood-stained cross. I heard of a Moslem reading our book Hell’s Best Kept Secret, and God soundly
saved him purely through reading the book. Why? Because the law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul.

To permit OPEN SIN in the U. S. military puts all our troops in jeopardy.

They are not only in DANGER of getting AIDS, but

GOD HATES SIN and how can HE assist victory for sanctioning SIN?

He cant.

Our troops are punished for the damned 0bama policy.

Queer Theories and Theologies
Mike Adams
Monday, February 08, 2010

I’ve decided to enter the ministry. And I’m going back to school in order to prepare. My choice of schools is Meadville-Lombard Theological School. I want to go there so I can take the course “Queer Theories and Theologies” under Laurel C. Schneider.

Professor Schneider’s description of “Queer Theories and Theologies” is, to say the least, pretty queer, especially given that it’s offered in a seminary:

“This course is a close examination of the development of ‘queer theory’ out of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered liberation movement on the one hand, and the international development of critical theory on the other. Our particular interest throughout the course will be first in exploring queer theory as a public academic discourse and second in discussing what impact this discourse may have on theology and ministry.”

Professor Schneider’s course objectives are perhaps the most appealing aspect of “Queer Theories and Theologies”:

“1. To get confused and yet not give up on thinking. 2. To improve in critical thinking about the intersections of theory (system of rules or principles) with public action so that we may be better able to recognize the ways in which theory often flies ‘under the radar’ in the public realms of church and ministry, government, social movements, and culture. 3. To make at least one practical connection between queer theory as you come to understand it and public theology.”

I’m pretty confused by some of those objectives. But I’m not quite ready to give up on thinking. There’s hope for me yet.

Whenever one is confused in Professor Schneider’s course he (or she or it or undecided) has an opportunity to submit a “weekly reflection.” This is the part of the reading schedule that includes a “reflection question” meant to help guide reading for the session. The good news is that the student can use the question to frame a one-page response to the reading, or (and I’m quoting directly from the syllabus) the student can “ignore the question and address one of (the student’s) own that emerged for (the student) in response to the session’s reading.”

I can hardly wait for this part of the class because the readings are both godly and scholarly. For example, students read “The Queer God” by Marcella Althaus-Reid. Later, they read an article by Howard Eilberg-Schwartz, which is in “God’s Phallus and Other Problems for Men and Monotheism.” Mark Jordan’s “The Invention of Sodomy in Christian Theology” also makes the list. But the highlight of the readings is none other than professor Laurel Schneider’s article “What Race is Your Sex?”

I thought about writing a rebuttal to Schneider’s article called “How Tall is Your Age?” But I decided to call it “What color are your brain farts?”

By session nine of “Queer Theories and Theologies” the student is expected to formulate a central question or thesis statement for a project, which constitutes 30% of the final course grade. Mine will take the form of a final paper called “Why Queers Enter the Ministry.”

Some years ago, a man asked for my opinion on why his good friend, an atheist, had decided to go to Yale Divinity School. I told him that the Enemy could do more harm trying to destroy an institution from within than from without.

And so it is with the so-called GLBT (Gilbert) movement. The Gilbert has equal rights. He is not fighting for anything. He is only seeking to destroy anyone or anything that will not validate him. That is why only 4% of gays who live in states giving them a “right” to get married actually do get married. They do not seek to enjoy marriage. They seek to destroy marriage. All because it denies them validation.

Originally, all Unitarians and Universalists were Christians who didn't believe in the Holy Trinity of God but, instead, in the unity of God. Later, they stressed the importance of “rational thinking” and the “humanity” of Jesus. Since the merger of the two denominations in 1961, Unitarian Universalism has emphasized “social justice.” Hence the interest in the Gilbert movement.

We live in a time when Gilberts are invading Christian denominations in an effort to destroy their core Christian beliefs. I intend to enroll in Meadville-Lombard Theological School in order to reverse this trend and bring the Unitarians and Universalists back to Christianity.

I want to set them straight, so to speak. I want to save them before their symbol, the flaming chalice, is replaced by a flaming phallus.
