Your Constitutional Freedom of Religious Speech is Attacked.
The morality of your family, children and church are under attack.
The "faith of your fathers/ancestors" is under heavy attack.
The U.S. Senate Democrats support hate crimes legislation that
threatens your freedom of religion and religious speech and gives
special rights to a few based only on their sexual conduct. Under
the law they support, Jewish Rabbis, Catholic priests and Christian
pastors and lay ministers can be convicted of a felony and go to jail
for simply reading out loud from the Bible what the Bible says about
Biastophilia (assault and rape); Changophilia (girls morphing during
sexual intercourse), Erotic asphyxia (asphyxia of oneself or others),
Erotophonophilia (murder), Exhibitionism (exposing oneself sexually to
others; variantly with or without their consent), Hebephilia (sex with
pubescent children), Infantophilia (sex with children five years old
or younger), Necrophilia (sex with corpses, dead people), Nepiophilia
(sex with infants), Raptophilia (committing rape), Telephone
scatologia, Telephonicophilia (obscene phone calls, particularly to
strangers), Vorarephilia (eating or being eaten by others; usually
swallowed whole, in one piece), and Ephebophilia (Sexual attraction
towards individuals in mid- to late adolescence, typically ages 15–
19? The Democrats, including Ted Kennedy and Obama have supported
making these "philias" protected classes, protected against "hate
speech", which for them includes Christians declaring publicly what
the Bible says about these sex sins.
The APA [American Psychiatric Association] has a list of 547 different
"paraphilias" that would be protected by members of Congress under the
"hate crimes" bill. All "sexual orientations" are protected by this
law that protects all "sexual orientations" of all Americans, no
matter what sex acts their orientation involves.* Rep. Alcee Hastings,
D-Fla., a "hate crimes" supporter, agreed, admitting that the bill
would protect all 547 forms of sexual deviancy listed by the APA.
Here's what Hastings said on the floor of the U.S. House itself:
"This bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice
and to guarantee that all Americans regardless of race, color,
religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender
identity, or disability or all of these 'Philias' and fetishes and
'ism's' that were put forward need not live in fear because of who
they are. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule…"

Instead of committee hearings and open debate, Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid is reportedly rushing this measure forward by having it
attached to unrelated legislation.
Sen. Reid and others want to shield this dangerous bill from debate
and scrutiny. They don’t want the public to know that this bill
mandates greater criminal penalties for crimes against people who are
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, or who engage in a broad range
of other sexual aberrations. It creates a two-tiered system of justice
in which some, including pedophiles, are more equal than Christians,
Jews and Moslems.
But that’s where we come in.
Please call or email your senators and let them know you oppose S.
909, the "Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act." The Senate
switchboard is
(202) 224-3121 or
(202) 225-3121. To identify your

Don’t let homosexual and immoral pressure groups railroad into the
law of the land this legalization and endorsement of what the Bible
declares to be immorality
Together, let’s stop this endorsement of behaviors that the Bible says
causes people to not " inherit the Kingdom of God." (1 Cor 6:9,10); to
become the objects of the "wrath of God" (Eph 5:4); and spend
eternity "in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone" (Rev
21:8). Please call or email your senators now—and then forward this
email to 10 or 20 friends!
Sincerely in Christ,
An Old Servant
Talking Points
The Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act (S909):
Is an Assault on Liberty of Conscience. In free countries, criminal
acts are punished—not beliefs or views. The proposed hate crimes bill
would result in two convictions—one for the criminal act, and another
for the beliefs or thoughts behind it. This is a road to "thought
crime" tyranny that is unfolding already in Europe and Canada.
Is Not Needed. Every state legal code already protects men and women,
whatever their "actual or perceived … sexual orientation," against
criminal assault. There is no hate-crime "epidemic" in America. The
FBI reports that so-called hate crimes, which are difficult to
identify because only God can know the human heart, are a tiny
fraction of all crimes.
Puts Pastors At Risk For Prosecution. Anyone, including pastors, can
be accused of creating a "climate of hate" that leads to violence—
merely for speaking biblical truth. Under Pennsylvania’s hate crimes
law, 11 Christians were arrested and jailed in 2004 for preaching the
gospel at a Philadelphia homosexual street festival. Rep. Louie
Gohmert (R-Texas), a former judge, said that under this federal bill,
clergymen and others could be charged with encouraging or inducing a
"hate crime" if they preach against homosexuality.
Writes Inequality Into the Law The hate crimes bill before the Senate
gives special legal protection to persons who are lesbian, gay,
bisexual, or transgendered by making crimes against them more heavily
punished than the same crime against a child, a veteran, a pregnant
woman,Christians, Jews, Moslems or the elderly. We have already seen
in California how violently evil immoral activists have physically
assaulted Christians on public streets (Fox News reported it),
vandalized churches, obstructed ingress and egress of public church
services, vandalized private property that had Yes on 8 signs etc.
Consider the following:
Focus on the Family hosted a "Love Won Out" conference in Grand
Rapids, MI., to help Christians in that area manage the issue of
homosexuality in
a Christ-like manner. Over the last 10 years, these
conferences have equipped thousands of Christians to become voices of
God's love and liberty to homosexuals.
As often happens wherever these conferences are held, gay activists
spare no invective as they denounce the idea that Christ can help
someone struggle free of unwanted homosexuality. Just two days before
our conference, Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids hosted a
seminar entitled, "Religion and Homophobia: Spiritual Violence in our
Community." (Doesn't that sound tolerant?). The conference was stacked
with gay activist speakers, and it was held under the auspices of--are
you ready for this?--the Vice President of Inclusion and Equity, Dr.
Jeanne Arnold. So Focus on the Family staff phoned Dr. Arnold and
asked to have one of their speakers included in her conference. The
FOF offer was rejected.

It's becoming more and more obvious that the homosexual agenda isn't
really about tolerance after all. It's about imposing a radical agenda
on our society and using nasty rhetoric and fascism, i.e. the force of
law to suppress majority opinions that oppose their minority agenda.
Anyone who dares to stand for Biblical notions of sexuality will face
the intolerance of homosexual activism and possibly criminal
prosecution for hate speech. This is a clear and present danger to our
freedom of religious speech guaranteed by the Constitution's Bill of
Rights
Christian patriots resist this tidal wave of evil and expose it, for
if we don't act together, they will certainly "hang" us separately.
Eph5:6 No one should deceive you with vain words, for on account of
these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7
Be not therefore co-participants [in] or fellow-partakers [of their
evil] with them; 8 for you were once darkness, but now light in Lord;
walk as children of light, 9 (for the fruit of the light in all
goodness and righteousness and truth,) 10 proving what is agreeable to
the Lord; 11 and do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of
darkness, but rather also reprove, confute, admonish, convict,
convince and rebuke [those who do them], [patiently, gently, humbly
and respectfully] telling [others of their ] fault. [With Gal 6:1]
"24 A servant of the Lord must not argue. Instead, he must be kind to
everyone, teachable, willing to suffer wrong, 25 and gentle in
refuting his opponents. After all, perhaps God will allow them to
repent and to come to a full knowledge of the Truth, 26 so that they
might escape from the devil’s snare, even though they have been held
captive by him to do his will." 2 Tim 2
"1 And you did He make alive, when you all were dead through your
trespasses
and sins, 2 wherein you all once walked according to the course of
this world,
according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that
now
works in the sons of disobedience; 3 among whom we also all once
lived
in the evil desires of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and
of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: 4
but God, being rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved
us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive
together with Christ (by unmerited kindness have you all been saved),
6 and raised us up with Him, and
made us to sit with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus: 7
that in the
ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His merciful grace
in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus:
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the
devil; for God was with him. - Acts 10:38
O Lord GOD, thou hast
begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what
God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy
works, and according to thy might?(Deut 3:24). The God you worship is
almighty, and He is greater in mighty. I am the Almighty God(Gen
17:1). He delivered the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt by his
might. And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and
that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand
and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee
to keep the sabbath day.(Deut 5:15). Jesus was filled with the might
of the Lord during his life time on this earth. His might delivered
many people from sickness. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself
that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and
said, Who touched my clothes?(Mk 5:30). And the whole multitude sought
to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
(Lk 6:19). Jesus Christ was filled with the power of God similarly God
wishes to fill you up with his power. Finally, my brethren, be strong
in the Lord, and in the power of his might.(Eph 6:10). When you are
full of God’s power very easily you can overcome Satan and his evil
power. And also you release the power of God to the people around
you.
You receive the power of God when you have faith in His word
and walk accordingly. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.(Jn 14:12).
Elijah was full of God’s power. Elisha wanted to be filled with the
power of God just like Elijah. There fore he was always following
Elijah like his shadow. He was praying that he should receive twice
the power of Elijah from him. And it came to pass, when they were gone
over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee,
before I be taken way from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a
double portion of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou hast asked
a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee,
it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.(2King
2:9-10). According to the word of Elijah, Elisha saw Elijah being
taken. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that,
behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and
parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into
heaven. And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the
chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more:
and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. He
took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back,
and stood by the bank of Jordan; (2King 2:11-13). You will also fill
with power of God if you are focused on Jesus and walk according to
His word. Pray to Him that you might be filled with his power in the
name of Jesus.
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall
by any means hurt you. - Lk 10:19
