Why the Christian Right Is Protective of Marriage

2012-05-14T12:28:42Z

The Christian marriage not only represents an exchange of vows and a few promises, but it is a spiritual covenant that speaks to the Christian heart in ways secular society could never comprehend. The biblical wedding between a man and a woman symbolically represents Jesus and the Church. It is God’s blueprint hidden within the ancient Jewish wedding and the biblical feasts describes a prophetic viewpoint from his perspective.

Most marriages consisted of a man choosing a woman or a woman choosing the man (conservative scenario.) But in the days of Abraham, families would arrange the marriages. The father of the Groom would either choose the Bride for his son or he will send his son out with his servant at tow, to choose his bride. (Hosea 2-19-20). The Groom would offer a payment for the bride to her father. (1 Corinth 6:20. 1 Pet 1:18-20) The Bride and her father would agree to the terms with a toast of wine to the new covenant between their families. (1 Corinth 11:25) His time spent with his fiancé would be short lived because he had to return to his father’s house. He would leave his servant as a chaperone and to keep other suitors at bay. She would wear a veil, sealing her from prying eyes and as a warning to other men. (Ephes 1:13) A written deed or legal document was drawn up between the Bride and the Groom describing what is expected as she waits his return. (2 Corinth 11:2)

He must make room at his father’s house for her before he returns. (John14:1-4). She would solicit him seeking to know the date of his return. Unfortunately, he could not truthfully give her a firm date of his return, so she must always pay attention the announcement of his arrival. (Mark 13:32-37) It would take 2-3 years for the Groom to return , sometimes returning in the middle of the night and the Bridal party would have walk the dark streets to meet him. (Matt 25: 1) His arrival would be announced by a loud Trumpet and by a shout from his companions that were accompanying him. (1 Thessa 4:16)

Once the bride and the Groom are rejoined, they disappear into a bridal chamber for a specified amount of time to consecrate the marriage. They reappeared shortly after the ceremony to celebrate at the banquet with the guest and the final toast of wine. (****,Rev 19:7-8)

The betrothal, the wedding procession and the final banquet represents the salvation story of Jesus and the Church woven within the folds of matrimony. (Gen 3:15). Under his father’s orders, he left to seek out his bride (Church). His own blood, more precious than Gold or Silver, was his final payment to the dowry. He told us to keep watch his return and to be remain loyal only to him. He gave his servant, the Holy Spirit and his Bible became our contract. Patiently his Church (Bride) listens for the Trumpet call of his return.

How can secular society claim a right to a proposal in which they refuse meet conditions set forth in the contract?

Is Liberalism Sentencing Homosexuals To A Slow And Torturous Death?

2012-05-12T03:07:39Z

“But even more than the government, it is the psychiatrists who have experienced the full rage of the homosexual activists. Over the past two years, gay-lib organizations have repeatedly disrupted medical meetings, and three months ago—in the movements most aggressive demonstration so far—a group of 30 militants broke into a meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in Washington, where they turned the staid proceedings into near chaos for twenty minutes. ‘We are here to denounce your authority to call us sick or mentally disordered,’ shouted the group’s leader, Dr. Franklin Kameny, while the 2,000 shocked psychiatrists looked on in disbelief. ‘For us, as homosexuals, your profession is the enemy incarnate. We demand that psychiatrists treat us as human beings, not as patients to be cured!’”

The Social Liberal Parasite

2012-05-11T02:23:44Z

For a couple of months I have been entrenched within the social media groups discussing various issues plaguing our country and the current GOP primary. I always wanted to write an Op-ed on how the average liberal perceives the world without the right wing media contempt for liberalism saturating my opinion. To be fair, my specimen had to have a college background, be struggling to provide for his family and come from Calipornia where the human plague of liberalism has slaughtered the state. Oddly enough, that specimen presented himself on a conservative site. He was in the process of stalking another conservative he has known for several years. Out of respect, I will call him “Bill Lowney” for the rest of the article.

Who Slipped Ann Coulter Shrooms?

2012-01-25T19:55:58Z

Some conservatives are oblivious to the ship listing to the portside. They advocate for gun rights, free market health care, sanctity of marriage, energy independence, lower taxes, smaller government and less spending; but they have latched on to the extreme opposite of what they defend.

The Most Transparent President E'vah Has Released More Documents Than Mitt Romney

2012-01-24T21:19:10Z

The most transparent President E’vah has release more documents than our most current Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Maybe I am not searching in the right places, but I have not seen his birth certificate, his college transcripts nor have I seen the last tax returns for the past 10 years.

The Liberal Fox in The Conservative Hen House: Part 1

2012-01-24T20:32:21Z

As Governor, Romney quadrupled Gun Licensing fees and vowed not to “Chip Away” at tough gun laws. (Link) Gun owners were upset with the Romney administration because he raised the [firearms license] renewal fee from $25 to $100 in a single year. Gun owner action League’s James Wallace called Romney’s action a tax on all gun owners. (Link) “It’s a tax on an individual’s right to bear arms in Massachusetts… basically, we’re being robbed.”(Link)

Obama Is Thankful That Legalized Abortion Has Given His Daughter's A Future

2012-01-23T21:06:24Z

Obama gave a speech at the anniversary of the controversial decision, Row vs. Wade, proclaiming the decision to choose abortion over pregnancy is a Constitutional right. This decision will give his daughters a better chance at a future that was only afforded to boys.

“And as we remember this historic anniversary, we must also continue our efforts to ensure that our daughters have the same rights, freedoms, and opportunities as our sons to fulfill their dreams.”

2 Stories... Both Victims Shoot At The Robbers

Both of these victims could be dead if we allowed the Liberals and anti-gun activist get their way.

A Comprehensive Look at the Left, Right And Center Candidates of the GOP Primaries

2012-01-23T03:51:43Z

The liberal media has been focusing their attention on Newt Gingrich, because he scares them. They have given Mitt Romney a free pass because he falls in line with their ideology. Ron Paul scares the hell out of the left and right because he will destroy the cronyism, government spending and big government.

Ron Paul Statistically Tied to Obama in Recent CNN Poll

2012-01-21T02:08:19Z

Baffling CNN, a recent poll showed Ron Paul was statistically tied with Obama in a hypothetical match. Can this actually put to bed the worry some voters have that Ron Paul couldn’t win the election? I was a bit surprised when I first saw this.

Ron Paul on Abortion and Defense Budget

2012-01-21T01:40:01Z

I agree with Ron Paul's position. The Federal government shouldn't have a say, nor should they force the citizens to pay for a procedure that violates the tenets of their faiths.

Ron Paul on Abortion

I have to appreciate this postion also.

Ron Paul on Defense Spending

It's going to be a long primary. I hope Ron Paul is able to articulate his position just as well as he did these times.

Chuck Norris endorses.....

2012-01-20T22:16:02Z

“I’m tired of watching our country being torn to shreds by those who think the answer is more government debt and control. I’m tired of being in bondage to a tax system that robs U.S. citizens like the King of England did before the Revolution,” Norris writes. “I’m tired of watching our sovereignty being sold by foreign loans and loose borders. And I will not sit back and merely watch this decay and degradation of the U.S. and then hand it over to my children and grandchildren to deal with.”

Presidential Candidate on Foreign Policy from 1987

2012-01-20T19:35:56Z

This careless notion, so frequently repeated, that the President is in total charge of foreign policy, cannot be justified by anything read in the Constitution. Congress has the major responsibility for any foreign commitment.

Iran Admits They have Control of Iraq, Southern Lebanon and Afghanistan

2012-01-20T18:27:01Z

Leader of Iran’s Al Qods force admits that Iraq and Southern Lebanon is under their control. The News media coming out of Iran are very open about their intentions of wiping Israel off the map. We should take a hard look at the consequences if the world largest shipping lanes are disrupted when a conflict erupts. Any upset within the region will disrupt the oil flow and destroy the already fragile economy. Obama’s plan to give Afghanistan back to the Taliban will end up with the same problems we have seen in Iraq and Egypt.
