Comments by Dissenting Supreme Court Justices: The Chilling Consequences of Gay Marriage Ruling

Ben Johnson : Jun 29, 2015 : LifeSiteNews

(Washington, DC)—The Supreme Court’s conservative justices lambasted last week’s majority opinion that the U.S. Constitution grants an inalienable right to same-sex “marriage,” emphasizing the threat the opinion poses to religious liberty, the democratic process, and the institution of marriage even as it is redefined.

In a series of scathing dissents, each of the High Court’s four conservative justices took apart Justice Anthony Kennedy’s Obergefell v. Hodges decision piece-by-piece.

Chief Justice Roberts, joined by Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, wrote that “the majority fails to provide even a single sentence explaining” how the 14th Amendment applies to redefining marriage.

“The right it announces has no basis in the Constitution or this Court’s precedent,” he wrote. “There is, after all, no ‘Companionship and Understanding’ or ‘Nobility and Dignity’ Clause in the Constitution.”

Media Release – IF PREMIER ANDREWS ABOLISHES RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS, WE DEMAND REMOVAL OF ALL HALAL PRODUCTS FROM THE SCHOOL TUCK SHOP!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –  THURSDAY 27th AUGUST 2015

“VICTORIA” IS FAST BECOMING A MISNOMER FOR AUSTRALIA’S SECOND STATE; TRADITIONALLY OUR MOST CONSERVATIVE AND EDUCATED.

The only victories for the Garden state are those of the ALP “Stalinist regime”, as recently quipped by our Prime Minister. The Victorian Labor government has announced that SRI, the special religious instruction program will be dropped from classes at the start of 2016.

Boss Andrews has consulted neither the parent, teacher nor chaplaincy nor any religious group, with this red letter, bad decision.

Rise Up Australia Party leader Daniel Nalliah is struck by the rapid disintegration of our Christian values in what has always been a Christian nation:

“Generally, the blind acceptance of Islamic demands is very dangerous” Mr Nalliah said from his Melbourne office.

“The double standards of political correctness are staggering. A vocal, potentially brutal, minority have almost stolen Christmas”.

Absence of the Bible and religious instruction willingly volunteers our schoolchildren as cannon fodder for, inter alia, U.N. Agenda 21.

IT IS HYPOCRITICAL OF PREMIER ANDREWS TO REMOVE OUR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN HERITAGE FROM SCHOOLS WHILST ALLOWING THE NEAR MONOPOLY OF RELIGIOUS ITEMS IN SCHOOL TUCK SHOPS SUCH AS HALAL FOOD! BAH HUMBUG!

Great meetings in Darwin

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Ps Daniel spoke and ministered with his team this past weekend from Friday to Monday at several meetings in Darwin at a public hall, hotel, church and parliament.

Many who came for the meetings were greatly impacted to hear his message on “Why Christians should stand up for government.”

On Sunday at church the mighty presence of the Holy Ghost swept through the place as Ps Daniel shared the Word of God and led in worship and intercession.

Many people from other churches came to the meetings and were greatly blessed. Some stated, “We have never experienced anything like this ever before in Darwin.” Oh glory to God it was a great weekend!

People came to the altar weeping, asking more of God. Ps Merv the Senior Minister of the church, and a very well respected man of God stated, “Truly, God has sent this man (Ps Daniel) into Australia for an hour such as this to stand in the gap for our nation.”

Several people joined RUA Party understanding the importance of Christians having a voice in parliament.

Ps Daniel stated, “I thank and praise God for giving me this wonderful opportunity to serve Him in my nation Australia. I know Australia will turn back to Jesus. I also thank God for giving us the opportunity to go right inside parliament and intercede for our nation. It was just wonderful”.

Thank you Jan and all the team (our coordinator for NT) for doing a great job in standing in the gap for NT.”

UK: Muslim convert to Christianity persecuted for 19 years

July 2, 2015 – By Raymond Ibrahim

Nissar Hussain, a former Muslim from Pakistan who converted to Christianity in 1996, recently wrote a letter to his local MP recounting some of the violence, abuse, and other attacks that he and his wife and their six children have suffered at the hands of Muslims in the Bradford area where they live. Written to his MP—a Muslim, who did not respond—the letter follows:

Dear Naseem Shah MP,

Can I congratulate you on behalf of myself and family on your stunning victory and we can’t express our delight as our newly elected MP for the Ward of Manningham and wish you every success for the future. On a serious note can I express our utter misery and dire situation as Christian converts from a Mirpuri/Muslim background since 1996 [Mirpuri is a region in Pakistan].

We were forced out of our previous home after over several years of suffering as converts and in short my family and I endured ‘hell’ by my fellow Pakistani young men in the form of persecution which entailed assault, daily intimidation, criminal damage to property: smashing house windows and also 3 vehicles written off whilst the community looked on and even endorsed this. One of vehicles was torched outside my home. Despite witnessing another vehicle being rammed deliberately by a man who I knew, the Police did not even take a statement never mind an arrest. Finally after being threatened to be burnt out of my home these young men deliberately set the neighbours’ house (which was vacant) on fire in the hopes that our house would catch fire. When I had reported it to Police prior to this happening the Police sergeant’s response was: “Stop trying to be a crusader and move out!” In short the Police had wilfully failed us so as not to be labelled racists or seem to cause the Muslim community offence at our suffering and expense.

Franklin Graham: God Will Judge President Obama

6/25/2015 Jennifer LeClaire – Charisma

Franklin Graham doesn’t shy away from bold political statements—and he often disagrees with the Obama administration’s moves.

Graham, though, does agree with at least one thing Obama said recently. Unfortunately, Obama being right is all wrong for Bible-believing Americans.

“President Barack Obama was right about one thing in the speech he gave at a Gay Pride event he hosted in the White House yesterday. He said, ‘There has been an incredible shift in attitudes across the country.'”

Graham agrees, but he’s quick to note that it’s definitely not a shift for the good of America. The shift in attitudes to which Obama referred, he noted, is the moral decline we are seeing manifest daily around us.

“Accepting wrong as right—accepting sin as something to be proud of,” Graham said. “Yes, that’s definitely a shift. Should we be surprised that he thanked the LGBT community for all that they had helped him accomplish during his time as president?”

Queen meets survivors & liberators of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp

By Gordon Rayner, Chief Reporter, in Bergen-Belsen, – 26 Jun 2015

In a quiet room where the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh sat entirely alone at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, one simple message, left on a piece of paper by a recent visitor, summed up the personal tragedies among the mass graves outside.

Written in English, it said: “If I could live my life again I would find you sooner.”

The sheer scale of the atrocity committed at Bergen-Belsen risks reducing the human loss to a series of statistics; 70,000 dead, 30,000 of them Jews, 20,000 of them Soviets.

But here was a handwritten note that brought home to the Queen and others with no personal connection to the site that each of the jumbled bodies bulldozed into the grass-covered barrows that dominate the landscape was a unique individual who lived, who loved and who was cherished by others.

If Pastors Don’t Stand and Preach the Truth, America Will Fall

If Pastors Don’t Stand and Preach the Truth, America Will FallShane Idleman – Christian Post – July 15, 2015

A paraphrase that is often attributed to Alexis De Tocqueville—a Frenchman who authored Democracy in America in the early 1800s, helps to open this letter: “I looked throughout America to find where her greatness originated. I looked for it in her harbors and on her shorelines, in her fertile fields and boundless prairies, and in her gold mines and vast world commerce, but it was not there.”

“It was not until I went to the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her success. America is great because she is good, and if America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”

Over the last few decades, Americans have seen the destruction of the institution of marriage between a man and a woman, the removal of God’s Word in several areas, and the blatant murdering of millions of babies. This is an indictment against America and the pulpit is partially responsible – our silence speaks volumes.

The pulpit regulates the spiritual condition of God’s people which affects the nation. A lukewarm, sex-saturated culture (and church) simply reflects the lack of conviction in the pulpit as well as the pew.

Sadly, many pastors are exchanging truth for passivity, boldness for cowardliness, and conviction for comfort…they are not aflame with righteousness. We aim to be motivational speakers rather than preachers of righteousness.

The Holocaust and the Silence of the Church resulted in the deaths of millions of people / You must watch this to protect history repeating itself

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Last Sunday at church, we had Hugh Kitson, Producer, Director & Writer from Hatikvah Film Trust, as our guest speaker.

During his presentation he showed a video of the Holocaust.  You may click the following link to watch a brief clip of it from their Facebook page. When you watch this, just think, what did the Jews do to be slaughtered like animals (mother, father and children)?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMSupynF1Bc

It is not funny, but we all know history tends to repeat itself ever so often. In the full 1 ½ hour documentary (Jacob’s Tears) many Christian leaders of that day speak with great sadness on behalf of the Church which for most part stayed silent. One Pastor stated, “if the Church and the rest of the community had spoken up, we would have had possibly 10 thousand deaths and not 10 million+ deaths.”

The problem?? The Church was lulled into a false sense of peace and security. Unfortunately, we are looking at another Holocaust already happening all over the world through fundamental Islam. Most of the Church leaders, Government leaders and others are silent about it, with many Church and other leaders constantly denying that Islam is a violent religion. Due to political correctness, they state that Islam is a religion of peace.

Christians in China Stand Up to Government Tyranny: Restore Crosses After They have Been Removed

June 09, 2015 -Robert Marquand – Christian Science Monitor

A group of Protestant churches in China’s Zhejiang Province are staging an unusual tryst with local authorities who have knocked down the cross from atop their churches: They are fighting back and restoring the traditional symbol of Christianity.

In some cases, the often elderly evangelical resisters in 16 churches around the cities of Lishui and Fuyang have persistently replaced the cross three times in a single day. So far, the restored crosses – some of makeshift raw lumber – remain.

Such civil disobedience is part of a mostly polite but intensifying standoff between the faithful and party authorities in the wake of a state campaign to target Protestants in the place where their numbers are growing and their churches are visible.

A number of churchgoers who have conducted late night and early morning campaigns to reaffix the cross say they are acting out of conviction and aren’t afraid. One man, Zhao Lizhong, who tried in early May to defend the Pinguan church in Lishui, has not been heard from since police escorted him from the site.

Should the Church be involved in politics? – by Ps Daniel Nalliah

Dear family & friends in Christ,

I am sure everyone of us has asked the above question, “Should the Church be involved in politics?“

The simple answer is YES.

For many years, I was a strong believer, like many Christians, that the Church should not get involved in politics. Unfortunately, I believed in this lie for more than half of my Christian life, as the devil very cleverly deceived me.

But thank God that I had a major paradigm shift, when in Saudi Arabia on 21st July 1997 at 3.40am, Jesus appeared in my house and spoke to me for 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Just 40 minutes from Mecca in Saudi Arabia, Jesus very clearly spoke to me with His audible voice and said, “Your time here is over. I am taking you to Australia and you will go into many parliaments and be a voice for the voiceless speaking in My name.”

Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to be introduced in U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 10, 2015 (LifeSiteNews)

A bill to prevent unborn babies from feeling searing pain during an abortion will be introduced in the U.S. Senate tomorrow.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, will introduce the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act before the world’s most deliberative body tomorrow, following a press conference with pro-life organizations at the Capitol Visitors Center.

“Right now in our country, a child can be killed in his or her mother’s womb for any reason, at any point, up until the moment of birth. We are one of only seven nations in the world, including China and North Korea, to allow such brutality,” said Susan B. Anthony List president Marjorie Dannenfelser, who will join Graham at tomorrow’s press conference. “We are a better nation than this.”

The move comes just one month after the House passed the bill, which would ban most abortions after 20 weeks, with a bipartisan 242-184 vote. The House passed the law on the second anniversary of Kermit Gosnell’s murder conviction.

Israel Named One of “Top Five Happiest Countries in the World”

Viva Sarah Press : Jun 11, 2015 : Israel21c.org

“It’s because of our focus on relationships. Friends and family are very high up on our value scale, and quality time with them is given a priority.”

[Israel21c.org] Israel is one of the Top 5 Happiest Countries in the World, according to a new Better Life Index report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

“Israelis are more satisfied with their lives than the OECD average. When asked to rate their general satisfaction with life on a scale from 0 to 10, Israelis gave it a 7.4 grade, higher than the OECD average of 6.6,” reads the report.

Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland and Finland took the top four spots in global happiness. The United States did not crack the top 10 for the fifth consecutive year.

BILL SHORTEN PUTS THE “SHIP” BACK INTO LEADERSHIP

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –  THURSDAY 23rd July 2015

On a backflip of Olympic proportions, the ALP/GREENS Axis is now selling the same Border Protection [stop the boats] plan that we, and subsequently the Liberal-coalition, have proposed for a decade.

What the [socialist?] Media doesn’t report is the depth of salvation of lives.

For every deterred, ricketty vessel equipped with paying, illegal, nation hopping immigrants, dozens of other boats are deferred. Cancellation of this illegal trade has literally saved hundreds of lives!

“Processing” illegals, often here to capitalise on the Centrelink gravy train, is robbing other, worthier Aussies  like the average pensioner and returned servicemen of their benefits. Time and again, persons of malevolent

indoctrination, who care nothing for our Australian heritage are taking the place of the truly dispossessed, truly starving, the persecuted Christians and others.

Bill Shorten may be willing to sell his grand mum for the next boatload of votes, but we have a Nation worth fighting for.
