You can’t redefine the family

Friday, October 23, 2015, 11:28 am | Randy Thomasson

You can’t redefine the family.

A married father, mother, and their children is God’s institution. The self-evident truth is this natural, biological design is ideal for the benefit of children.

Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain,

and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.”
Genesis 4:1

And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Jesus Christ in Matthew 19:4-6

No surrender on marriage or homosexuality

VIDEO: Here I am on Sacramento TV representing real marriage and the written Constitution and here too

After doing TV, radio, and newspaper interviews blasting the U.S. Supreme Court’s unconstitutional 5-4 opinion attacking marriage and states’ rights, I took a photo of the rainbow flag being draped from the State Capitol by Democrat homosexual activists (see below), and went back to my office to consider what to write you.

And I want to remind you of something. No matter what any judge or politician or law or poll says, marriage has been, is, and forever will be for a man and a woman. Because homosexual “marriages” are counterfeit and false.

Consider these self-evident truths:

1. You’re born either male or female, as determined by chromosomes (a male inherits a Y chromosome from his father, but a female does not).

2. You need something from a man and something from a woman to conceive a baby through the miracle of procreation.

3. A man and a woman fit together perfectly and healthily (like a plumber knows there are male and female pipe fittings).

4. The only human pair that can achieve coitus are a man and a woman.

5. Children do best inside and out with a married father and mother under the same roof.

Bottom line, if you don’t have a man and a woman, you don’t have marriage. I’m going to keep saying this self-evident truth and I encourage you to do the same.

What’s more, on a legal level, the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion by a bare minimum of judicial activists on the bench is simply unconstitutional, completely illegitimate, and should be rejected by you, by pastors, by governors, and by everyone who knows that “the law” is what’s written in our Constitution, according to the original intent of its drafters. We each need to explain this to others to help them stop thinking that judges make the law — not in a republic they don’t!

You can also post the truth about homosexuality when you comment on news sites. SaveCalifornia.com’s Not Born This Way has eye-opening information to change minds.

And here are good articles on the reality of man-woman marriage and the delusion of homosexual “marriages”:

Matt Walsh: Gay Marriage Still Doesn’t Exist, No Matter What the Supreme Court Says

Top Christian Resources on the Marriage Debate (Books, Articles, Videos, Podcasts on Gay Marriage/Same-Sex Marriage)

From SaveCalifornia.com’s June 26 news release:

Facts:

1. Marriage licenses and regulation are not in the United States Constitution, are therefore the jurisdiction of voters in individual states (9th and 10th Amendments; Article IV, Section 4).

2. Article IV, Section 4 guarantees to every state “a republican form of government” — meaning 1) no monarchy and 2) no lawless mob rule, but a government of written laws representing the will of the people, who are sovereign. State constitutions represent the People’s will on marriage, which the federal judiciary must affirm. (See footnote recording James Madison’s definition of republican government as “a republican constitution and its existing laws” http://constitution.findlaw.com/article4/annotation18.html#t322)

3. The 10th Amendment explicitly says powers that don’t belong to the federal government, or what the Constitution does not prohibit among the states, are state powers. Therefore, marriage is under the states’ jurisdiction.

4. The 14th Amendment is one of three post-Civil War amendments and was about race — giving black former slaves the same legal rights of white freemen — not about marriage. The Amendment applied to the states what was already a federal right enshrined in the 5th Amendment — that no one should be killed (deprived of life), imprisoned or enslaved (deprived of liberty), or deprived of their property without a court order (due process of law). Further, the Equal Protection Clause in no way requires the recognition of same-sex “marriages” because homosexual couples are not the same as heterosexual couples. They cannot have a conjugal union that produces children, and one of the primary purposes of marriage is to bind together fathers and mothers for the benefit of the children they bring into the world.

Authorities — the Constitution of the United States:

Article IV, Section 4: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.”http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html

5th Amendment: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html

9th Amendment: “The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”
https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/ninth_amendment

10th Amendment: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/tenth_amendment

14th Amendment, Section 1: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_amendments_11-27.html

Get the picture that there are facts, evidence, and truth for you to know, embrace, and explain to others? Time to speak out! Let’s stand together as we boldly love for all that’s good and real for children and families!

“A government of laws, an not of men.”
U.S. Founding father John Adams in 1775

 

Are pro-family groups afraid of GOP governors?

Tuesday, January 6, 2015, 1:07 pm | Randy Thomasson

It’s a fact that homosexual “marriages” are happening in three dozen states, many during the watch of Republican governors. Because that’s what these professing “conservative”/”pro-family”/”constitutional” Republican chief executives are doing — watching and allowing children to be indoctrinated with unnatural, unhealthy, unbiblical, and tyrannical “marriages.”

I don’t expect any defense of real marriage from Democrat governors, who are virtually locked into the delusion of homosexual “marriages.” But Republican governors who say they believe in man-woman marriage — well, that’s an entirely different story with different expectations.

Governors have the duty and power to defend marriage in their states

You see, each governor pledges themselves to “support and defend” the plain words written in their state constitution, including the definition of marriage “for a man and a woman.” Governors raise their right hand and publicly promise to “faithfully execute” (or implement) these written laws!

What’s more, governors are commanded by their state constitutions to enforce the written laws.

Each governor is also authorized to call out his/her state’s militia or national guard to enforce written laws and maintain public order against foreign and domestic enemies.

And each governor has an administration that serves his/her pleasure that is in charge of state marriage forms (licenses and applications) that county clerks use.

Constitutional governors will take action, not merely go to court

Given these facts, it is state governors that are allowing homosexual “marriages.” And it’s not good enough for governors to merely protest by appealing to a higher court the unconstitutional decisions of judicial activists.

No, governors who are loyal to the written constitution of their state and of our nation must take action — instead of making excuses that they must “follow the law.” That is both a fallacy and a misnomer. The law is written in the constitution and was put there by the People or the People’s representatives. The law is not what is dreamt up by judges, which is only their opinion and is definitely not “the law.”

Pro-family organizations must lobby Republican governors now

So where does this leave us? America is in a constitutional crisis against forces of tyranny and immorality. It is high time for the moral majority to rise up. And it’s imperative that pro-family organizations take bold action now to lobby Republican governors.

Realize that in the last 12 months, unconstitutional judges have tyrannically opined that homosexual “marriages” must be publicly honored in a number of states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

In the midst of this severe crisis, SaveCalifornia.com issued our December 2 alert urging calls to Republican governors in pro-man-woman-marriage states.

Yet we have not seen similar “lobby the Republican governors” alerts from other pro-family organizations, neither at the state nor national level. This is unacceptable. For if pro-family organizations won’t urge “pro-family” governors to defend real marriage, who will? (And no, appealing a bad judge’s decision is not “all” a governor can do.)

Please contact as many national pro-family organizations as you can
–as well as the state-based pro-family groups in the above threatened states — and urge them to “Lobby Republican governors to not permit unconstitutional homosexual ‘marriages’ on their watch.”

Pro-family voters place conservative governors into office. Don’t these “pro-family” governors owe their allegiance to God, the written constitution, the voters, and to the pro-family groups that represent pro-family voters?

Now is the time for you to speak out so that pro-family organizations will speak out and lobby professing pro-family governors to use their own executive powers, not merely legal appeals, to defend the constitution and the People and preserve real marriage for one man and one woman.

“A governor’s oath is to defend the Constitution of both the federal government and his own state. Defending something by definition means protecting it when it is under attack, regardless of where that attack comes from — even if the attack comes from a federal judge, a federal court, or the Supreme Court itself. Governors have been meekly capitulating to judicial tyranny, one after the other, and timidly abandoning their posts.”
Bryan Fischer, “Time for a governor to stand up against judicial tyranny,” Nov. 26, 2014
