4 bills that God hates (and you should too)

Saturday, June 18, 2016, 1:15 pm | Randy Thomasson

BadBillsCalfornia

Because California voters are increasingly foolish and immoral, their Democrat-controlled State Legislature, to the detriment of children and adults, is attacking God’s design of human life and His creation of two distinct sexes — male and female. According to the Bible, God hates these bad bills — and you should too.

See why homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality
are unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, and tyrannical

AB 1732ladybathroomstall: Abolishes “men,” “women,” “boys” and “girls” single-user restrooms, naming them “all gender” instead; tramples religious freedom and private property rights; endangers women and girls
Status: Senate Transportation and Housing Committee hearing on Tuesday, June 21 at 1:30 pm in Room 4203
Action: Call the 11 committee members to urge them to “OPPOSE AB 1732”

SB 1146protectreligiousfreedom: Forces Christian colleges to promote homosexuality and transsexuality in admissions and hiring unless they specifically and publicly oppose it in their publications and postings on campus. SB 1146 tramples religious freedom and admits it. The official analysis of SB 1146 states, “This bill narrows the religious exemption afforded to these institutions, and requires disclosure of such exemption.”
Status: Assembly Higher Education Committee hearing on Tuesday, June 21 at 1:30 p.m. in Room 437
Action: Call the 13 committee members and urge, “OPPOSE SB 1146”

HR 54infantgirlandboy (Assembly) and SR 79 (Senate): Officially celebrates “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month.” Last year, 16 Republicans and the Democrats voted for this anti-family resolution.
Status: On the Assembly floor for a vote anytime
Action: Call your own state assemblymember AND state senator, especially if they’re Republican. Urge assemblymembers to “OPPOSE HR 54” and state senator to “OPPOSE SR 79” (Note: “Republican” Ling Ling Chang of Diamond Bar already voted yes in committee)

AB 2531eggandsperm: Creates a new “human” market; permits young women to be paid for their ovarian eggs without being informed how this often leads to physical and psychological damage. AB 2531 would repeal the ban on payment to women for their oocytes (egg cells) if they were used for research. Two big reasons for the ban are: 1) the lack of data on the long-term effects on donors from ovarian stimulation involved in egg extraction, and 2) embryos produced from oocytes for research are human beings who are ultimately killed.
Status: Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Monday, June 27 at 10 a.m. in Room 4203
Action: Call the 7 committee members and urge “OPPOSE AB 2531”


PSALM 139
God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Do these California Republicans deserve to win or lose?

When voting, do you have a minimum moral standard? For me, that minimum pro-family standard is the candidate must vote against murderous abortion, against the harmful “LGBT” agenda, for parental rights, and for religious freedom. I call these God’s non-negotiables.

But if your voting standard is “the lesser of two evils,” you can eventually vote for just about anything, right? Because “it’s all relative.”

My joke for professing Christians about the non-biblical “lesser of two evils” standard is to have them imagine a scenario where there are only two candidates: The Democrat candidate is the devil — and the Republican candidate is the Beast from the Book of Revelation. Professing Christians with a certain view of the end times, who have a lesser-of-two-evils voting standard, will justify voting for the Beast, saying, “He’ll give us three-and-a-half good years!” Listen to my SaveCalifornia.com Radio Minute on this

Now, all jokes aside, here’s something very important to think about this election:

If-ThenIf you support the sanctity of human life or oppose the unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, tyrannical homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda, ask yourself — will you support or oppose Republican candidates who oppose God’s non-negotiable values?

Joining nearly all the Democrats in the California State Legislature, 16 Republican legislators voted in 2015 to “celebrate” “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month”:

State Senator Anthony Cannella: Modesto-Merced-Fresno area stretching to Salinas and 101 strip on coast
State Senator Jeff Stone: Riverside County
Assemblyman Katcho Achadjian: All of San Luis Obispo County and north Santa Barbara County
Assemblywoman Catharine Baker: Walnut Creek-Danville-San Ramon-Dublin-Pleasanton-Livermore
Assemblywoman Ling Ling Chang: Chino Hills-Yorba Linda-Brea-La Habra-Walnut
Assemblyman Rocky Chávez: Northern coastal San Diego County
Assemblyman David Hadley: Los Angeles beach cities and south bay area
Assemblyman Matthew Harper: Coastal Orange County (Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach, Laguna Woods)
Assemblywoman Young Kim: Anaheim-Buena Park-Cypress-Fullerton-La Palma-Stanton
Assemblyman Tom Lackey: Lancaster-Palmdale area
Assemblyman Eric Linder: Corona-Eastvale-Jurupa Valley-Riverside
Assemblyman Brian Maienschein: Clairemont-Kearny Mesa-TierraSanta-Poway-Rancho Santa Fe
Assemblyman Devon Mathis: Tulare and Inyo counties
Assemblyman Chad Mayes: Yucaipa-Banning-Hemet-Morongo Valley-Yucca Valley-Twentynine Palms-Palm Springs-La Quinta
Assemblyman Marc Steinorth: Rancho Cucamonga-Redlands-Loma Linda-Highland-San Bernardino
Assemblyman Scott Wilk: Santa Clarita Valley and Simi Valley

pro-suicideAlso last year, 3 Assembly Republicans — Catharine Baker of Contra Costa County, David Hadley of the Los Angeles beach cities area, and Brian Maienschein of north San Diego and San Diego County — voted YES to make California a Suicide State via “physician-assisted suicide.”

Voting YES were 2 Assembly Republicans — Catherine Baker of Contra Costa County and Young Kim of Orange County — and 2 Senate Republicans Jeff Stone of Riverside County and Andy Vidak of Fresno, Kern, Kings and Tulare counties.

Please consider your own moral values. Will you vote for any California candidate — Democrat, Republican, or other — even if they attack your values? Something to think about as you prepare to vote June 7.

charlesfinney[T]he time has come that Christians must vote for honest men and take consistent ground in politics or the Lord will curse them. . . . Christians have been exceedingly guilty in this matter. But the time has come when they must act differently. . . . Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. But I tell you He does see it – and He will bless or curse this nation according to the course they [Christians] take [in politics]. The great American evangelist Charles Finney (1792-1875)

Children’s souls dissed by California Senate

It’s not only sad — it’s frightening and angering that the California State Senate has said giving a little more religious Released Time Education away from the iron-fisted grip of the public schools upon children’s minds, hearts, bodies, and souls… is a BADDDDDD thing.

The vote Monday in the 40-member California State Senate was 15 yes, 18 no on SB 1457 (21 votes are needed to pass), which would allow school boards to expand the hours of Released Time Education and give some school credit hours to attending students.

One of the most evil things that happened during the debate was that pro-perversity Democrats labeled religious education as bad:

Senate Bill 1457, which was opposed by the state’s powerful teachers unions, faced strong objections from Democrats who argued that it would undermine the secular foundation of public education and violate the Constitution’s “establishment clause” separating church and state. Several members noted that the state would have no influence over the content of the religious instruction, raising the possibility that students might receive credit for anti-gay or white supremacist teachings. Sacramento Bee story

Another evil thing was the massively wealthy California teachers union lobbied hard against the bill, even pulling a co-author, Democrat Jim Beall, into the abstain column. Can you say pimps and prostitutes? If the 7 senators that purposefully abstained voted yes, the bill would have passed!

What’s your reaction when the majority of state senators are against children learning to love their neighbor as themselves and learning stealing is wrong and that God is watching them? With this, you know that the majority of these legislators are evil, corrupt, anti-children, anti-God, and need to be replaced.

Fortunately, this is an election year, and half of these state senate districts are up for grabs (so are all 80 state assembly districts and all 53 California congressional districts).

So please, response to this attack upon the most sublime, basic, traditional religious freedom bill imaginable for children:

1. REPORT: Let other people know who voted for or against moral standards for children. See the 15-18 Senate floor vote and Democrat floor analysis

2. CALL SACRAMENTO: Since SB 1457 was approved for “reconsideration” — meaning the bill could return for a second vote within a week — please call the 7 swing votes to urge them:”Vote yes on SB 1457. Children need to be taught do not steal and treat others as you ought to be treated. This bill is optional for school districts. Please do what’s right and vote yes.”
