A first draft with a simple opening with more to follow:
If you look then perhaps take time you may realize that Christians are now at war. One that has been heating up for years. A war that as of yet has not caused any known physical casualties,but a war with Martyrs scattered by the thousand perhaps millions, but of whom no one takes notice.
Todays newest battle over marriage is not new it is one of many volleys fired at the church at Christ at the word of God.
One of the first shots of this war was at the Ten Commandments, the second the battle for the right to life and the third is gay marriage.
However should we be doing battle spending millions in courts when that money would be better spent in teaching and supporting law makers who hold to sound moral values. Should we support companies who support that which is counter to the faith? Many are the gay groups denouncing companies for the opinion of their owners why can Christian not do the same? Boycott any and all companies who support the gay agenda boycott all gay programing, let gay support gay and we the Christian will take our money somewhere else. For we are tired and wish to live and not be slandered. Why must we hang our heads in shame and be ashamed of the simple fact that we embrace God and His word. We are weary of the media love of gays and its hate for Christ Jesus. Why is it evil to teach children to respect their parents and others? what is evil in respecting ones spouse? why is it evil to the world to say you should not do murder? And why is it evil when I teach children not to lie,steal or be envious? But the world is against this, the media hates it and the modern segregationist (those of the division the hyphenation generation)revile this. And I must ask why is it so offensive to say; no to teach that everyone is entitled to a day of rest from physical labor? Why are the ten now flushed from our view and no longer held up as a tree leading to life a true way to live and honor one another?
If we are the seventy plus in this nation at least that is what polls say lets take hold, lets live as such. We have not forced anyone before, nor are we now forcing anyone ,but we are tired of this being forced upon, we must demand our civil rights be honored rather than stepped on by the courts.We must Win at the ballot box, not at the jury box. let gays be gays, Let Christian be Christian for we must remember Paul’s words in Romans. We must not do to them what they seek to do to us, the Psalms say bless them which curse you and that is what we must do as we are those new age Martyrs.
So remember Paul’s words tells us why gays are angry what they really want no what they demand. They want that the church sanctify their unions; they demand the church and her people go against doctrine the word and bless what is expressly condemned. They wish to bring God low.
So I suggest that all who stand against gay marriage who stand for the ten and who value human life; those who are threatened for their faith once again are modern Martyrs. Anyone who is ridiculed condemned and reviled for their faith in God and these ideas are Modern Martyrs.
These modern martyrs do not lash out they do not make threats they do not hate they seek only to live in peace. These modern martyrs just can not accept nor join with what the people outside their respective circle, for even in this they are told to separate. Because of this they are the object of hate of outrageous anger and threats. Their crime speaking out which is their right believing differently which is their right. I do not support gay marriage, no hate no anger it is counter to my faith and God word gives me the reason why, for it is written that such activity is an abomination and a stench in his nostrils Paul’s says it is lewd and lascivious behavior man chasing men and women chasing women. for it is unseemly and rancor (bitter, sour)
So once again these modern Martyrs are true monsters to the gay and lesbians, for they value human life but above all else feel that love and compassion for ones fellow human being is key to life. So these modern Martyrs do not strike back when attacked but offer simple prayers and blessing for those who attack why the Christian known the true faith of the soul that sins and has pity and compassion in hopes they may change but one.
