First, she?s a woman, and it?s unbiblical for women to have any authority among men. The scourge of feminism must be stopped! Even more importantly in this case, is that the She-Devil is a <gasp> lesbian! I have preached many times that God has removed his protection from this nation for three reasons: feminism, homosexuality, and abortion. To vote for this Rod woman is to vote for a candidate that will ensure that God will continue to turn His back on America, and you will be dammed to hell for all eternity should you vote for this ?person?!?

Now, he?s apparently come up with a new code (similar to his ?Intolerista? label) in which using exclamation punctuation is The Scarlet Letter, if you will, to mark those in the LGBTQ community. What a sad , fat, impotent little man he?s become in the sunset of his life. I guess the unbiblical hate that he routinely preaches has finally consumed the last of his soul. What a surprise . . . not.

He?s no longer respected outside a few truly fringe groups. He is simply old news with no power outside, no national draw, no longer able to even successfully import converts other than those with mental health issues that make things like patriarchy attractive to the miscreants. His message has become too offensive for respect even amongst other conservative Evangelicals . . . yet local wingnut conservatives still think he?s something other than a bigoted hate-monger. Behind the times much?

There are more than a few intelligent, articulate, successful Republican business women in Moscow, yet GMA chose to again run a white male only slate of candidates for the City election. What on earth is wrong with the GMA and its leadership?!

In the course of that exhortation I said that it was not the church?s business to descend into partisan factionalism, but that it was our responsibility to pray that we would be allowed to ?lead a quiet and peaceable life? (1 Tim. 2:2). I said that we ought to be voting in the same direction as our prayers, which means that we should be voting in the direction of civil magistrates leaving us alone. That would include doing something about zoning commissions that are used as a cat?s paw for various intoleristas.

> >

The rule should be a church standard, and this means the IRS has absolutely no authority to be setting restrictions on what ministers may say. So the first point is that this was said as part of a nationwide challenge to the IRS. This was made possible by the candidacy of Gresham, a well-known member of our Christian community operating with a biblical worldview ? a man who fears the Lord, is a man of truth, and who hates covetousness (Ex. 18:21). It was an exceptional circumstance for a specific situation.

To use the power of the pulpit to lean this way or that in a wobbly canoe would be inappropriate.

That is not a partisan issue, and it only appears to be such because the Democratic Party has been captured by bloodthirsty ghouls.

This blog is owned and operated by me, the proprietor, and is not supported in any way with tithe money, which means that I am functioning here as a private citizen, albeit a noisy one in a party hat. That means I can say I voted for Lambert instead of Chaney, and in the council race, the voter has three votes that he can spread over four candidates. It is not necessary to use all three of your votes, but it is important not to use any of them in favor of Rebecca, a woman who uses exclamation marks on her yard signs, a thing which ought not to be done. So I voted for the three non-Rebeccas. Those who are interested in more information can check with the Greater Moscow Alliance.
