Re: “A lawsuit against Carnival Cruise Lines continues”
"Until Cunard makes Charleston a port of call, I couldn't give a shit."
Of course, Cunard is owned by Carnival Corp., so any finding in this case would apply to them as well, though I doubt any Cunard ship will be calling in Charleston anytime soon.

Re: “A lawsuit against Carnival Cruise Lines continues”
I admittedly haven't been following this issue very closely, but wasn't the environmental component - one that was dismissed - essentially the backbone of the complaint? SELC obviously has to put a positive spin on its dismissal and focus on the nuisance and ordinance components, but honestly, is that worth it? I would really like to know. The city can't even enforce noise ordinances on drunken college kids, so if the lawsuit succeeds will it be willing or able to enforce them on a multi-million dollar industry?

So Joe, by your reckoning the Whites from Europe are the wrong-race invaders of North America and their genocide against Native Americans is unacceptable, so they have every right to perform towards Whites that you do against Blacks? Oh, OK, I get it now. Guess I'd better high-tail it back to France, and where are you headed Herr Berger?
Re: “Charleston Pride moves downtown for its fourth year”
lifestyle and consider themselves as saved Such an idea is also contrary to sound reasoning and sound doctrine. The Word of God is very clear on this matter. "He that covereth (conceals) his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy” (Pr. 28:13). An admission that such a lifestyle is wicked is a step in the right direction. A confession of such sin or “coming out of the closet” is a step in self-justification. But a confessing and forsaking before God through the Lord Jesus Christ will forever free you from this abominable bond.
Finally, due to space restraints, we briefly mention the problems with the ideas of “sexual orientation” and of being a “minority” group. Sodomites are not, in one respect, “born that way”. That is, it is not a DNA problem but rather a natural perversion due to the natural depravity of man inherent in us all. The natural man walks in his own lusts and is driven by his own perversions and desire to sin. A perverted curiosity of some drives them in that direction to the point, like father Adam, they act upon it or “take and eat” thus fulfilling their perverted lustful desires. In order to excuse the wrong, like Adam, they blame God with; “We were born that way.” Thus, casting the blame on another so as to excuse themselves and quiet their consciences. This, in turn leads to the excuse of “sexual orientation.”
Sexual Orientation
What is meant by the term? Webster’s 1956 edition states that to “orient” means to arise, to define the position of, to adjust the bearings of. “Orientation” is ‘the act of turning or the state of being turned toward the east….such as the position of the dead in their graves.” Such an interesting application is probably unnoticed by those who so love the term of orientation. The modern Webster’s defines orientation as “to set in a definite position, to direct toward the interests of a particular group” this definition seems to avoid the issue of the Sodomites while it leaves the door open to interpretation or application. Sexual orientation is seen as the idea that one may gravitate towards whichever sex (male or female) they desire. It is considered by them as a right or freedom; nothing is seen to be wrong with it however unnatural and depraved the idea is.
Further, Sodomites are not a “minority” group and are an insult to those who do classify themselves as such. Sodomites as well as thieves, drunkards, adulterers, etc., exist among all races and classes of people and therefore cannot be classified as a persecuted minority. The “minority” card is used to gain notoriety, privileges, and protection under the law which once prosecuted sodomy as a felony. Racial persecution should not exist, but laws against such vile immorality should.
The real attack is not upon so called “gays” but the rather upon the Word of God or, “hath God said?” Ω
Re: “Charleston Pride moves downtown for its fourth year”
Them that "recompense (Rom.1:27 ) or reward for such sin in the form of AIDS, they will not repent.They, the rether, strengthen themselves in their sin and demand that our government support them by allowing Sodomite marriages.
IV
They seek to defy man’s law also.
This is done in order that they may gain control over the normal law abiding citizen. Those who are lost and yet in their sins, love the company of their own that they may feel the more comfortable about their sin. The best way to quiet conscience is to make others participate in like sin by deception and enlistment. This has been the very tool of Satan since the garden of Eden. If the Sodomite can convince their fellow man to accept them in their sin, they can convince them to accept the sin. Case in point: Many states have already abolished or refuse to enforce their Sodomy laws, which are now referred to as ‘bigoted laws.”
Simply put, the Sodomite, like as all of the lost of society, are at deep enmity or hatred against God and would make mockery against His institutions. Marriage between a man and a woman was the first institution made by God. It is the last institution, in the Sodomite mind, that needs to be perverted and destroyed. In this however, they shall never totally succeed as long as the Holy Spirit and the true church remain on earth. After the Rapture occurs, they may succeed. Does this tell you beloved, how close to the Rapture we may be? (See Luke 17:27.)
V
Why the pursuit of same-sex or Sodomite marriage?
It is done to gain more publicity for their cause in perversion. It is done because they greatly despise the normal lifestyle of a man and woman in marriage. It is done to quell their own conscience which testifies against them, that they, as Sodomites are a sin-sick, depraved, perverted people. Many of them are so troubled from within that they need and long for the approval of society. If they cannot get this approval, they will lobby to have the laws changed in order to justify themselves, their filthiness and depraved actions; all is so that they might feel the better about themselves.
Our land, beloved, is throwing off a strong stench of sin in the nostrils of God. We need to be much in prayer for its people and its leaders. I feel a great evil is about to befall this land for the iniquity done and allowed within her. “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate…..shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you” (1 Cor. 6:9-11). It would not be proper to close and not remind ourselves that there are, as the Word of God shows here, some who have been saved and who have come out from among the Sodomites and their lifestyles. The Lord be magnified and glorified for His great longsuffering and mercy upon the sinner indeed! The Lord Jesus can free anyone from all their sins. But let those who dare to think that they can still continue in such an abominable lifestyle while attending a Sodomite “church” and listening to a Sodomite preacher be aware. Sin that is not repented of is still sin. One cannot continue in such a
Re: “Charleston Pride moves downtown for its fourth year”
Those who would pervert this great and blessed institution of marriage bring an affront to the heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit because they have perverted the meaning of the Word of God. Do we not see why such actions are so abominable? Adam typified Christ who laid down His life or “fell asleep” to bring forth His bride. Eve came forth as a result of Adam’s obedience to the Word of God. This idea, though expressed here briefly, was perhaps the main reason for the institution of marriage. It is a portrayal of the finished work of Christ who looks with satisfaction upon His finished work and even now prepares to call His bride unto Himself..
III
What are the reasons for the desires of same-sex marriage?
This is briefly defined in our opening verse of Scripture: “...yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations” (Isa. 66:3). Again, “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” (Rom. 1:32). They have chosen their way, their delights and their abominations. Their aim is to proselytize others to themselves that they may “have pleasure in them that do them.” This is part of the self-will, self-esteem crowd that would dictate to all of us. Beloved, be not deceived, the Sodomites have money, intellect, influence and power. Proof of this is constantly seen in the media publicity, TV sitcoms, etc., that foster their agenda. If freedom of speech and of the press were censored, as it once was for moral standards, perhaps much of this sin sickness would go away or at least from public eyes and ears. Many Sodomites run Hollywood, many of the TV networks, and we must not forget Disneyland/World. Their goal is to corrupt our children and our nation with the guise of “no more intolerance, no more hate speech, and freedom of expression.” Their main objective is to do away with the Bible and Christianity; to do away with moral and legal standards without which no nation can continue to exist as a free people. In short, the Sodomites want to establish ‘their own ways,” their so-called “Gay agenda,” their idea of a one world order that they may be free of moral restraint.
We ask again, Why same-sex marriages? The Sodomites are in love with their sin and themselves. This is their god that they will not forsake. It is always open rebellion against God and His Word. Proof of this lies in the fact that the Sodomites despise and mock the institution of marriage. They make mockery of it to satisfy their own ego and perversions: “Their soul delighteth in their abominations.” It is a me attitude. Nothing else matters to them but their world and how they can so arrange it to suit themselves. They have the ear of the media, the courts, and now have contaminated our government. Our “representatives” have bought into it and think that Sodomy laws are antiquated and need to be done away with. Where, oh where, is our national shame! Where is the humbling of ourselves before God because we have allowed such wickedness in the lands? Can it also be said of this nation that “their soul delighteth in their abominations”? Yea, they will not have the Word of God to prick their conscience, and though the Lord sent upon

Re: “The SPLC's gender assignment case comes down to civil rights”
Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White countries for everyone?
Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY White country and ONLY into White countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY White country and ONLY White countries to "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites.
What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-Blacks were brought into EVERY Black country and ONLY into Black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?
And how long would it take any sane Black man to notice this and what kind of psycho Black man wouldn't object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the White race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White.

Re: “Charleston Pride moves downtown for its fourth year”
another woman. God did not make another man from Adam’s rib for Adam. As observed in these Scriptures, the purpose and intent of marriage has always been for a man and a woman to begin a family and to find joyous satisfaction in one another and their children.
No! Same-sex “partners” and same-sex “marriages” are not okay, are not normal, are vile, are perverted and need to be repented of. Our government run schools need to stop telling our children that such lifestyles are “different” and that we must be “tolerant” and “open minded about it.”
In Deut. 7:3 we read of the Jews being forbidden to marry outside of their nationality or race. “Neither shalt thou make marriages with them (other nations); thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.” This was commanded in order to keep the vile sins (such as sodomy) that the other nations were guilty of out of the nation of Israel. We observe that parents were placed with the responsibility of marrying their children off. I do not see, by the way, where God ever took this responsibility away from the parent. This is the standard we need to go back to; but many children no longer honor the parents in this matter. But here in this Scripture we observe that interracial marriage is forbidden for causes previously mentioned. This is spiritually emphasized again in 1 Cor. 6:14, and without question there is no such thing as same-sex marriage even implied in the Word of God for such is a wicked abomination before Him.
We read again of marriage in Ezra 9:12. “Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons…” The book of Ezra was written centuries later after the book of Deuteronomy, but we observe that the Word of God stays firm on the subject of marriage: sons and daughters, men and women, husband and wife! There is no room here for some strange perversion. Thus marriage is a God created and ordained institution to be bestowed solely upon a man and a woman. Any so-called religious leader, priest, rabbi or preacher who performs a same-sex marriage, not only supports a wicked and ungodly lifestyle, but also is a partaker of their evil deeds in so doing. How fearful is the day that awaits them.
The main objective of marriage is to “replenish the earth” or procreation, along with a loving companionship between the opposite sexes. To try to claim that the same situation prevails between two people of the same sex is an absolute impossibility, an absurdity, and is most abominable. Lev. 18:22 tells us, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind (a man), as with womankind: it is abomination …. For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people” (Lev. 18:29). To be an “abomination” means that it is “an object of disgust; something vile and loathsome; something hateful.” Make no mistake dear friends, God’s standards will never change because He is an unchanging God. What was abominable to Him then is still abominable to Him to this very moment.
Again, marriage centuries later after Ezra is still considered solely for a man and woman. In 1 Cor. 7:2 we read, “To avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband". That is, to prevent the sin of fornication and the burning of ones lust,get married to the opposite sex! (To continue).
Re: “Crisis Ministries launches internal investigation, continues fundraising efforts”
Libby is married with a child. Does she have a house? If so, it now belongs to Crisis Ministries and can be sold after the paperwork is done. Her family? Too bad. If the husband was the crook, we would have no problems taking his assets, would we? I hope the courts put a lien on anything and everything this woman and her family own, and take it toot sweet and sell it off to the highest bidder until the lost money and expenses related to this crime are paid off. And then put the worthless bitch in jail for a while. Stealing from such a good program is unforgivable.
Re: “Charleston Pride moves downtown for its fourth year”
Many Sodomites attempt to claim that “they were born that way, but the Word of God states, “….male and female created he them” (Gen. 1:27). Each one of us is born into this world as a particular sex. We are expected by God to fulfill our role in the sex we were born as. There is no justification in the idea that, as some put it: “I have long felt that I should have been born a woman,” or vice-versa. The idea is contrary to sound reasoning, depraved, and very repulsive; it is also a self-serving madness.
I
What is Marriage?
Until recently the word marriage was defined as: “The state of being married; relationship between husband and wife.” To marry means “To join as husband and wife; unite in wedlock. To join (a man) to a woman as her husband, or (a woman) to a man as his wife. To take as husband or wife in marriage” (Webster’s 1957 edition). No one in their right mind would say that these two words of marry and marriage mean anything else, and most of all, a perverted idea of same-sex marriage. The idea smacks of lunacy. This age in which we are now living, beloved, is suffering one of the most wicked declines into sin since the days of Noah. How blind the nations have become in their lust for sin! How can anyone in their right mind sit back and observe this world-wide epidemic and deny the total depravity of man?
II
Where was marriage first introduced into the human race?
Let me say at the onset that marriage was instituted to establish a holy, sanctified, godly and moral standard for man to abide by in order that sin might not have dominion over him, that men would be restrained in their sin, and that their lives might be more joyous, blessed and content. But even the institution of marriage soon became corrupted as men perverted its intent by acts of polygamy.
With the further perverted idea of same-sex marriage we observe that a deep-seated hatred for God, His law and moral standards, is at the very heart of it. Now observe: if marriage sets a moral standard, it had to be derived from some form of moral code that is instilled within men, as nations and people, to a very large extent have some form of marriage ceremony within their culture. Even the most ungodly and barbaric peoples observe some form of marriage ritual between a man and a woman. This is undeniable. How did these ceremonies and rituals of marriage between a man and a woman come into the human race? Putting it very simply, marriage between a man and a woman was created, ordained and instituted by the Lord God. Many may scoff, mock, ridicule and distain such thoughts, but the facts of history prove them as true.
The first marriage between a man and a woman took place in the garden of Eden. The Lord Himself performed the ceremony and gave away the bride: “And the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. . . Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” (Gen 2:22 & 24). Added to these statements Genesis 1:28 tells us that God commanded the husband and the wife to “Be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth.” God did not make a woman out of the dust of the earth, remove one of her ribs and make

The Sodomite
and
Madness Marriage
By R. Belanger
“Yea they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abomination.” - Isa. 66:3
Are you taking a stand and speaking out about same-sex marriage? Can you hear it: “Another intolerant bigot has just jumped on the bandwagon. Your days are numbered, Mister! Your intolerance of ‘alternate lifestyles’ will not be tolerated. That is ’hate speech!’ You are without compassion. You are discriminatory. It will not be long before we have you and your kind jailed and silenced from society.”
These are more than likely the thoughts and desires of every Sodomite, not only in our land, but throughout the world. I suspect that just before the soon coming Rapture, such thoughts as the above will receive their fulfillment. Many pastors and faithful Christians will be jailed for slander, intolerance, hate-speech or whatever false charges may be dreamed up. Beloved, Jesus said, “Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you” (John 15:20).
We are living in the time in which the world is preparing the way for the entrance of that grand Sodomite, that grand homosexual, the Antichrist. In speaking of him the Word of God tells us in Daniel 11:37, “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” Here we are told of a coming Jewish leader who will have no moral values or standards since he regards not the God of Israel and therefore neither His Word. He will have no regard toward any form of religion or any form of governmental authority. Nor will he regard women and their desire for him. In my mind, there is no doubt that he will approve of same-sex marriage because he will not only be immoral, but he will also be anti-Christian. He will, without question, be a self-centered individual, well suited for today!
Same-sex Marriage?
The very idea or thought of lending credence to it is filled with madness. It is an idea that is totally without logic or reason; but it is an idea that our governmental leaders, our legal systems, seem almost anxious to embrace. Beloved, a rabid dog is without sense and most dangerous; so likewise is this madness of same-sex marriage. They that see nothing wrong with it obviously have taken leave of their senses and have become totally blinded to sound reasoning. Beside all this, in the eyes of God these can never be “marriages; all such are the effects of deep-dyed sin! ( To be continued)
