Until the past few years the people of the United States were guided by the knowledge of God, the knowledge that there is sin, and believed in good conduct known as righteousness. Those who practiced sin as a way of life were shunned and not respected as were those who behaved morally. In the last years the national psyche has changed and those who practice sin are exalted.

At one time the gospel could be freely preached with no thought that government would stifle whatever message from the Bible that a messenger chose for a daily lesson, and  which would apply to the saved and sinner alike. Not any more is that true in this nation, which has freedom of religion and exercise of same, and freedom of speech, which by necessity included the freedom to preach the gospel using whatever passages were chosen.

The California Legislature and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger have made a bill into law that prevents people in education and in business from objecting to homosexuality, bisexuality and trans-sexuality (sic) if one single solitary individual receives any type of government aid from the state. Tyranny has taken a giant step and this time its intent is to crush God, morals, and promote sin. The Legislature and Schwarzenegger have become Evil Incarnate.

Catherine Harris of Florida said that only Christians should be elected to public office because not to do so will cause the legislation of sin. She received condemnation for the remark being accused of all kinds of things. She was quite right when the works of the founders are studied, for they held similar beliefs. And with the conduct of the California Legislature and Schwarzenegger in mind, pray tell everyone where she is wrong in her belief. If Schwarzenegger claims he is a Christian, then his fruits aren’t testifying to it. (No pun intended.) Anyone who believes in God and his way wouldn’t participate in making such a law. Only those blind to the way of God can behave in such a manner and push sinful practices off on the rest of us.

Paul told Timothy the following: [2 Tim 3:16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [2 Tim 3:17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.  Schwarzenegger needs to explain how his promotion of deviant behavior is a good work and how it facilitates the freedom and liberty that the founders worked so diligently to provide us.

The California Legislature and the Governor should study the United States Constitution, Article VI, clause 3: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution. What is it in the article that the proponents of sin in California don’t understand? That oath they took means that they must honor the First Amendment as well as the others. They also need to be reminded that the nation wasn’t founded by queers, lesbians, transvestites, or other deviants. The founders were men of honor with the moral foundation of God and Jesus Christ; which obviously is lacking in the California Legislature and the Governor’s office.

In Romans Paul wrote to the people of that time: Rom 2:9  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;  The principle applies to the people of today as surely as it applied then. Evil in the verse means embracing every form of evil whether moral or physical. That is surely what Schwarzenegger and his ilk have done and are doing.

It isn’t the time for smooth words. People need to be hit between the eyes with the truth. In Sorting It Out, it is hoped this article does exactly that.
