Re: [TruthTalk] Gay Marriage Roll Call Vote

Terry asks why I'd say such a thing..Way before you were young abortion wasn't a crime and, homosexuality wasn't a perversion. It'd appear that the 'sand' houses your 'head'. Just scan history.   Every century has had 'events' that precipitated these kinds of observations. It is likely that your (great, great, great) grandchildren will be making the same kinds of observations in a different cultural context. ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Clifton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 19, 2004 17:14 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Gay Marriage Roll Call Vote Why would you say such a thing?  Do yo have your head in the sand?  When I was young, abortion was a crime, Homosexuals were perverts.  Only a murderer or a pervert would consider the present to be an improvement over the past.

In fact, the opposite is probably true as to both. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 19, 2004 09:00 Subject: [TruthTalk] Gay Marriage Roll Call Vote From: Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I  have tried all the above, as have others, but it don't get better, it gets worse, just as the Word promises.  I believe that the great falling away is here.  It is possible that my grandchildren may be the last generation of free Americans.  It is also possible that they may be the last generation, period.  Some day the Father is going to turn to the Son and say,"Go get 'em, Boy".  No one knows that time, but it  is closer every day.  Terry   I see it this way also Terry and there is so much more going on than meets the eye.  Jesus said we shouldn't judge by outward appearance.  (John 7:24; 2 Corinthians 5:12).   In the US we have recently gone through a week of mourning with daily accolades about the greatness of the late 40th President Ronald Reagan.  Evveryone, including his own children spoke so well of him and the Marine Band played my favorite hymns at the sunset service in California when they layed him to rest.  Was this real or was it Hollywood?  I have been reading about the Reagans and have seldom seen such a mass of contradictions. For instance, they both looked to astrologers, he from before the marriage and she came to depend upon them later.  In fact this was one expense that Nancy Reagan paid out of pocket while they were at the White House where most everything was a perk and free (including her clothes and her travelling hair dresser).  He did not attend Church, he would say that his ranch in California was a cathedral with vaults going into the sky.  He loved a joke and his humor in private was said to be ribald.  The Reagans were estranged from at least two of their children for years at a time and family relationships were nonexistent at least until the end when things did appear to come together.  What Ronald Reagan was the master of is communication. He understood oratory and the use of humor, the pregnant pause etc.  I'm sure he was well-meaning but a follower of Christ??  Why is the professing Church so easily impressed and where is discernment?  .  judyt
