I never thought I’d see the day when professing Christians help anti-Christian bills pass.
But that’s what happened with some of the worst, anti-family bills of the year in California.
When Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, signed SB 1146 to initiate State control over religious matters on religious property, favoring the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda over constitutional religious freedom, he could only do it because the presidents of six large “Christian” colleges in California had dropped their opposition and instead supported this unprecedented, unconstitutional, subjective bill.
These “Christian” universities supporting the amended SB 1146 were Azusa Pacific, Biola, Cal Baptist, Point Loma Nazarene, Westmont, and William Jessup. Together, they issued a statement saying they “appreciate” and are “grateful” to homosexual activist and SB 1146 author Ricardo Lara, even saying they “look forward to working with Sen. Lara…to strengthen this partnership.”
 And when Gov. Brown signed AB 1732 to tear down “men,” “women,” “boys,” and “girls” signs, and replace them with pro-transsexuality “all gender” signs at single-user restrooms at every business, including home businesses, and every church school, religious daycare center or religious senior home, etc., it was because some professing Christians supported this intrusive bill, empowering it to pass.
In the California State Assembly, Republican Catharine Baker of Dublin voted “yes” for both AB 1732 and SB 1146. Yet Baker has publicly said she’s a “Christian” and has been a Sunday school teacher at San Ramon Valley United Methodist Church.
And in the California State Senate, Republican Anthony Cannella of Ceres is known as a professing “Christian” to locals and also to reporters. But Cannella spoke in favor of and voted for AB 1732 to force small and home businesses and church schools to replace “men” and “women” signs with “all-gender” signs at single-user restrooms.
Yet in California’s pro-family community, the most shocking support for AB 1732 came from a pro-family legal organization leader, who said the bill “makes a lot of sense,” that he say “nothing with laws” like AB 1732, that he would not oppose it, and commended the bill for being “sensitive to many transgendered people.”
What’s the upshot of all this? Pastors who preach and individuals who teach must purposefully strive to a) hold people in leadership positions accountable to biblical sexual standards, b) teach separateness from evil (holiness), c) warn against partnering with evil people, d) condemn political prostitution, and e) urge people to vote for candidates with proven moral-values integrity.
Because sadly, these dark days, a “Christian” who won’t “compromise” seems a rarity.
The harm of SB 1146 | SB 1146 votes
The harm of AB 1732 | AB 1732 votes
Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols?
2 Corinthians 6:14-16

UPDATE — Tuesday, August 23, 10 am: Please call Sacramento RIGHT NOW because the Assembly floor vote on the amended SB 1146 could be Tuesday.
Be glad that SaveCalifornia.com has delivered to state assemblymembers the awful truth about the amended SB 1146. If you can back us up — please leave brief messages to their office right now and ask staffers to take your message to the floor, which is in session.
Your immediate help is especially needed because homosexual activists are urging a yes vote on SB 1146.
Please continue calling your own assemblymember and the deciding votes to urge defeat of the unconstitutional, subjective, and oppressive SB 1146. SCROLL DOWN FOR PHONE NUMBERS.
 See our analyses of the amended SB 1146 and why is still harms religious freedom:
NEW Analysis: SB 1146 as amended August 19
How the Amended SB 1146 violates the First Amendment
“Separation of Church and State” means no State interference
PLEASE EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN NOW.
SB 1146’s ASSEMBLY FLOOR VOTE COULD BE AUGUST 22.
SCROLL DOWN FOR PHONE NUMBERS TO CALL.
Status: The amended SB 1146 is on the Assembly floor and can be voted on as soon as August 22.
Needed to win: In the 80-member Assembly, it takes 41 votes to pass bills. If no Republican supports SB 1146 and at least 12 Democrats refuse to support it, the bill will be defeated.
 WHAT TO SAY: Leave a short voicemail message at their Capitol office (and also, if you can, their district office). Just say: “Please oppose the amended SB 1146. The August 19 amendments still harm religious freedom by giving the State subjective and unconstitutional control over religious colleges. Oppose the amended SB 1146 — this bill is still bad!”
Find the Capitol phone numbers for your own state assemblymember and state senator. Call them right now. These are the only legislators for whom you should identify yourself.
 Leave VOICEMAILS for the deciding votes on the Assembly floor from 6pm to 8am Pacific Time. This is when no person answers the phone in legislators’ offices. IMPORTANT: Don’t identify yourself — not your name or where you live — just leave the suggested message on the voicemail urging them to vote NO on the amended SB 1146:

Posted in California Bills, California Legislation, California Legislature, Fighting for what's right, Good Government, LGBT, Religious Freedom | Comments Off on STOP the amended SB 1146, which still harms religious freedom
Sunday, June 26, 2016, 9:57 am | Randy Thomasson
You’re invited to stand with others in support of God-given and constitutional religious freedom on Wednesday, June 29 in Long Beach, California.
Join others with your moral values to publicly oppose the tyrannical SB 1146, which would permit homosexual and transsexual “students” at religious colleges, universities, bible colleges, and seminaries to file harmful and destructive lawsuits against these religious institutions for “unfair discrimination” — simply for upholding Biblical values and principles on sexual behavior.
If SB 1146 becomes law, say good-bye to man-woman married housing on campus and hello to man-man and woman-woman “married” housing.
If SB 1146 becomes law, say good-bye to female-only dormitories and female-only restrooms, since biological males calling themselves “female” can move in and walk in.
If SB 1146 becomes law, it will be illegal for a Christian college to counsel a student struggling with homosexuality.
If SB 1146 becomes law, Christian colleges cannot get rid of a professor who becomes a homosexual or transsexual activist, indoctrinating students to sin. And the list goes on.
 The public protest against SB 1146 is Wednesday, June 29 at 3:45 p.m. at 3939 Atlantic Avenue. This is outside the Long Beach office of SB 1146 author and state Senator Ricardo Lara. Change your schedule and do all you can to be there!
The Greater Los Angeles media will be invited, so please bring yourself, your children and grandchildren, and as many friends as you can to stand up for what’s right in God’s sight this Wednesday, June 29 at 3:45 p.m. in Long Beach.
Bring large signs with easy-to-read message, such as:
- Hands off our property — NO to SB 1146
- Keep your hands to yourself, hands off our Christian colleges
- SB 1146 violates ‘Separation between Church and State’
- Religious freedom is in the 1st Amendment — Oppose SB 1146
- SB 1146 unfairly discriminates against Christian colleges
- SB 1146 is intolerant of Christianity
- SB 1146 punishes Christianity
- Oppose intolerance, oppose tyranny, oppose SB 1146
- SB 1146 discriminates against religious diversity
- Stealing is wrong — SB 1146 steals from Christian colleges
- SB 1146 turns Christian colleges into “LGBT” agenda centers
- Jesus Christ taught against sexual sin in Mark 7:20-23
- The New Testament teaches against “LGBT”
- The Bible teaches marriage is only for a man and a woman
“Private universities should not be able to use faith as an excuse to discriminate.”
Democrat state Senator Ricardo Lara, homosexual activist and SB 1146 author
And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.”
Jesus Christ in Mark 7:20-23
