USA To Use Foreign Aid To Promote Gay Rights
One more story for those of you who do not think it matters whether we have a Republican or Democrat President.
I am pasting a link to an Associated Press story today titled the same as this thread; "US To Use Foreign Aid To Promote Gay Rights"

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

I don't advocate harsh physical treatment on anybody but this has the old underline agenda attached obviously.

Re: USA To Use Foreign Aid To Promote Gay Rights
The article said:
In a memorandum issued Tuesday, President Barack Obama directed U.S. agencies working abroad, including the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, to use foreign aid to assist gays and lesbians who are facing human rights violations. And he ordered U.S. agencies to protect vulnerable gay and lesbian refugees and asylum seekers. We must further the cause of Liberty. Liberty is every man's God given right. Liberty is holy... even when men are unholy.
It sickens me that gays are abused, brutalized, and even executed in various countries. This is about human Liberty. Regardless of what one thinks about homosexuals, God intends them to be free persons. For only freedom allows the liberty to freely choose between good and evil.
I'm a divorcee. What if a country would have me be beaten, or perhaps even executed, for adultery if I remarried? Adultery or not... that's MY business. Sorry, I stand on the side of Liberty. Even if I disagree with those who use said Liberty to do what I'd never do. EVERY human being has a God given right to live according to his or her convictions regarding their life and happiness, answering only to God unless their choices have brought harm to another's life, liberty, or property.
I'd DIE to protect and PREACH Liberty... even for souls that don't deserve it. Because LIBERTY is Holy even when men are not. America will face the harshest Judgment should she abandon the cause of Liberty and Justice for All.

Liberty is not holy. If you would die to protect the right to sin somethings wrong. God opposes sin and Americas judgment will not be because of the loss of liberty. It will be because of the loss of the fear and love of YHWH.

God gave us free will, the ultimate liberty. Everything that comes from God is holy. Therefore, liberty can be holy.

Re: USA To Use Foreign Aid To Promote Gay Rights
As a christian I have to say that I know nothing about this act. Is it to promote gays or to stop having them get beat up and killed.
I oppose beating up anybody for their sin or killing them without a fair trial. To kill them is barbaric and cold. Where is there the love of Christ to convert them?
i oppose gay rights however, i do not feel that we should injure them.
Please tell me more about this federal act.What is its goal here.
