Bible Preaching Criminalized in Colorado!

By David J. Stewart | June 2008

"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For
men shall be lovers of their own selves... evil men and seducers shall
wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." --2nd Timothy
3:1,13

A new law passed in Colorado, SB 200 (.pdf), makes criminals of
God-fearing Christians who preach the Biblical message that
homosexuality is a morally reprehensible sin (Romans 1:24-32).

Biblical message now criminalized
Penalties created for those who criticize homosexuality outside church
walls


Wow .... ALL the Reich wing "World Nuts", apparently, have signed in on this
one!

A new Colorado law is helping homosexual activists achieve their goal
of forcing Christians to teach biblical condemnation of homosexuality
only behind the closed doors of their sanctuaries.

The as-yet untested state law promotes sexual identity "perception" to
the level of skin color under state discrimination laws.

Some opponents are calling it a "bona fide censorship law," and top
analysts for Focus on the Family, the Christian publishing and
broadcast powerhouse, are expressing concern over the "mischief" they
expect to follow the signing by Gov. Bill Ritter.

As WND reported, Ritter, a Democrat, struck gender-specific restrooms
and locker rooms statewide when he signed the plan into law in May.

The law makes it illegal to deny a person access to public
accommodations, including restrooms and locker rooms, based on gender
identity or the "perception" of gender identity.

"Who would have believed that the Colorado state legislature and its
governor would have made it fully legal for men to enter and use
women's restrooms and locker-room facilities without notice or
explanation?" said James Dobson, founder of Focus.

"Henceforth, every woman and little girl will have to fear that a
predator, bisexual, cross-dresser or even a homosexual or heterosexual
male might walk in and relieve himself in their presence," Dobson
said.

Here's a quoted portion of Colorado's new law...

SECTION 6. 24-34-701, Colorado Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

24-34-701. Publishing of discriminative matter forbidden.

"No person, being the owner, lessee, proprietor, manager,
superintendent, agent, or employee of any place of public
accommodation, resort, or amusement, directly or indirectly, by
himself or herself or through another person shall publish, issue,
circulate, send, distribute, give away, or display in any way, manner,
or shape or by any means or method, except as provided in this
section, any communication, paper, poster, folder, manuscript, book,
pamphlet, writing, print, letter, notice, or advertisement of any
kind, nature, or description which THAT is intended or calculated to
discriminate or actually discriminates against any disability, race,
creed, color, RELIGION, sex, SEXUAL ORIENTATION..."

Private Businesses Banned from Exposing the Sin of Homosexuality

So if you own any type of personal business in Colorado, you are
legally forbidden from distributing anything that exposes the sin of
homosexuality. What ever happened to freedom of speech? -- You know...
The First Amendment? Private businesses and private citizens should
have the right to discriminate as they please. This is America! I
believe the right of free association does not require me to associate
with people I don't want to do business with. If I don't like you, I
shouldn't have to do business with you (and vise versa). In a truly
free country (which ours no longer is), you can associate with
whomever you want, and you can hire whomever you want, and fire
whomever you want.

If I own a hamburger stand, and I want to display a sign that reads,
"God created Adam and Eve; NOT Adam and Steve" -- that is my right to
do so!!! If a homosexual doesn't like it, then they can eat
elsewhere. There are many businesses where I won't go, because I
don't like the ways they do things, and that is my right. When our
legislatures start restricting what, where, and when we can express
our religious convictions, America is doomed!


Heather Does NOT Have Two Mommies!

The law also gives radical gay rights organizations a legal hammer
with which to try to force pro-"alternative lifestyle" education into
school curricula. The idea of public schools being forced to teach
"Billy has two dads" is despicable.

In Massachusetts, the Gay State, kids in kindergarten are regularly
read 'Heather Has Two Mommies,' a book about two lesbians raising a
child. Of course, in addition to glorifying gender and sexual
perversion to kids (a heinous and nasty evil) -- the title of the book
is a big fat lie. Heather does NOT have two mommies; she has a mommy
and a daddy. But sadly, no one will tell her the truth, and she's not
allowed to have her daddy. Some woman who engages in perversion with
Heather's mommy falsely claims she's a mommy, and the lie Heather's
told will have to be rammed down the gullets of millions of innocent
school kids. Folks, this is all vicious evil targeted at our
children.

By the time the liberals finish with your kids, they won't know what
they are, and it will be illegal to tell a boy that he's supposed to
be a boy. Colorado is joining Californication, Sin City and the Gay
State as part of Queermerica.


The Deadly Consequences of Accusing Christians

Do you remember the account of Daniel in the Old Testament (Daniel
6:7-24)? A law was made that forbade anyone from petitioning any god
or man besides king Darius. But Daniel prayed to God anyway. As a
consequence, Daniel was thrown into a den of starving lions, and left
for dead. But praise God, in the end, Daniel's life was spared and it
was the evil men who had falsely accused Daniel of wrongdoing who were
devoured by the lions... "And the king commanded, and they brought
those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of
lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the
mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came
at the bottom of the den" (Daniel 6:24).

Careful notice that Daniel DID break the law; BUT God punished the men
who proposed that law, and nurtured it into legislation, because the
law turned Christians into criminals. Is this not exactly what is
going on today in America? Christian business owners, who have much
to lose in court, are being turned into criminals for faithfully
obeying Ephesians 5:11... "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather reprove them." The word "reprove" in
Ephesians 5:11 comes from the Greek word, elencho, and means "to
expose." It is every Christian's Biblical duty to expose
homosexuality as a morally reprehensible sin which brings the judgment
of God (Romans 1:32).

Where are the Daniels today? Where are the good men today who will
continue to obey the Scriptures, God's Law, and refuse to stop doing
right because of wicked men who outlaw righteousness?


Conclusion

In the Supreme Court case of Boy Scouts vs. Dale, where the Supreme
Court upheld the Boy Scouts' unalienable right to not have to have
sodomites as scoutmasters, our entire freedom of association in this
country was protected (for the moment) by just one single vote on the
Supreme Court. That's a tiny margin for a country which is supposed
to be the land of the free. Unfortunately, the same thing isn't
happening in Colorado, and the Sodomites have gained a big victory
over the righteous... "It is not good to accept the person of the
wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment" (Proverb 18:5).

Let the heathen rage, God is still on His throne. Homosexuals have
but a short time to enjoy their wickedness, because God will not be
mocked (Galatians 6:7). Hell will be hot enough! It is utterly
hypocritical that homosexuals can parade their sick and sinful
lifestyle up-and-down the streets of America, and lawmakers approve;
while at the same time Christian business owners are made criminals in
the eyes of the law for even posting a sign in criticism of
homosexuality.

Just as those evil men, and their families, who were cast into a pit
of ravenous lions to be torn to shreds, so will those evil people
today, who are behind such sinister laws as SB 200, be punished by God
for their wickedness against Christians. Again, I ask you, where are
the Daniels today? Where are the godly men and women who will
continue to obey God's Law, by exposing homosexuality for the evil it
is, and refuse to stop doing right because of wicked men who outlaw
righteousness? America needs voices!

Homosexuality is a Sin!

Ye Must Be Born Again! | You Need HIS Righteousness!



How to go to Heaven
According to the Word of God

It is very simple to be saved and takes only a minute to
explain. Please let me show you how to go to Heaven from the Bible,
God's Word...

Man is a sinner.
Isaiah 53:6, "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every
one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all."
John 3:3, "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God."
Romans 3:10, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not
one."
Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God."
There is a price on our sin--eternal death in Hell.
Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is
eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:12, "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned."
2nd Thessalonians 1:8, "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that
know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Revelation 20:15, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of
life was cast into the lake of fire."
Revelation 21:8, "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which
burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Jesus paid that price by dying on the cross and shedding His blood.
Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
1st Timothy 1:15, "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of
whom I am chief."
1st Peter 1:18-19, "Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the
precious blood of Christ..."
By faith in Jesus Christ ALONE we can be saved.
Salvation is NOT found in a religion or good works, but in a
person... The LORD JESUS CHRIST!

John 11:25, "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."
John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the
life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
John 6:40, "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one
which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day."
Mark 1:15, "And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God
is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Acts 26:18, "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to
light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive
forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified
by faith that is in me."
Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved."
1st Corinthians 3:11, "For other foundation can no man lay than that
is laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Galatians 3:26, "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ
Jesus."

HERE IS HOW YOU CALL UPON THE LORD

Do you admit that you are a GUILTY sinner under the condemnation of
God's LAW, deserving of Hellfire?

Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God (God in the flesh) who
died upon the cross, sacrificing His precious blood to pay for your
sins?

All you need to do to be saved is to BELIEVE upon the Lord Jesus
Christ.

Perhaps you'd feel comfortable praying a sinner's prayer as did the
publican in Luke 18:13... "And the publican, standing afar off, would
not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his
breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner."

Dear Jesus,
I admit that I am a sinner, deserving of Hell. Please forgive me of
my sins and take me to Heaven when I die. I now believe upon You
alone, apart from all works and religion, as my personal Savior.
Thank you. Amen.

Just as you were born physically to your parents, you were born
spiritually into the Family of God when you believed on Jesus! (John
3:3). Please understand that we are not saved because we pray a
prayer; but because we believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ. It is
certainly appropriate to ask the Lord in prayer to forgive and save
us; but it is our faith which prompted us to pray the prayer. You
could just as easily believe in your heart upon the Lord to be saved,
and not pray at all. Salvation is of the heart, as we read in Romans
10:10, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness..."

You do NOT have to be baptized or doing anything to go to Heaven other
than trust upon the Lord as your Savior. Romans 4:5 proclaims... "But
to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the
ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." The only sin which
can prevent a person from being saved is UNBELIEF. Thus, unbelief is
the only sin which a person needs to repent of to be saved. What a
wonderful Savior!

Please send us an e-mail and let us know if you have just received
Jesus Christ as your personal Savior! We would like to rejoice with
you. If you would like to find a good church where you live, CLICK

Kindest regards,

David J. Stewart
