Contradictions!! Same-sex marriage and Sunday sacredness contradict the Bible! - Posted: June 24, 2018
Marriage is between a man and woman NOT same-sex partners. The Sabbath is the seventh-day of the week NOT Sunday the first day.
In our world today, people change the direction of morality. Pope Francis is no exception. The pope accepts civil unions between same-sex partners.[1] A same-sex civil union is sodomy. Pope Francis does not stand on the Biblical foundation of marriage. He calls same-sex partnerships "civil unions" signaling support for the LGBT lifestyle.[2] Pope Francis embraces both marriage and civil unions. But no one can stand for truth unless taking a corresponding stand against error. Pope Francis contradicts himself and garners support from both sides—those who would stand for marriage between a man and woman and those who accept same-sex unions.
The law of the Ten Commandments is the only standard of morality. Same-sex marriage breaks the tenth commandment, "Thou shalt not covet." Same-sex marriage or civil unions debase the purity of Biblical marriage by coveting a relationship that is corrupt. Likewise, Sunday observance breaks the fourth commandment, "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy..." The fourth commandment says to honor God through worship on the seventh-day Sabbath. Popery changed the day to Sunday to welcome sun-worshipping Pagans into the early Christian church just as it diminishes marriage sanctity by welcoming the LGBT community into the church family—without renouncing their LGBT identity.[3][4] Christians love God and will not compromise the ten commandments to accommodate the sinful practices of the world.
"Marriage and Sabbath keeping are two great moral statutes. Both demonstrate morality through the two highest forms of love—Biblical love for one's spouse and supreme love to God. Christians worship God on Sabbath because they love Him."
Popery is a masterful deception. While it masquerades itself as standing for truth, it is full of error—deadly error! It is a deceptive falsehood based on cunning reasoning.
Popery or the papacy is defined in the Bible as the "man of sin," the "son of perdition," the "mystery of iniquity," and "that wicked."
2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 KJV
v.3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
v.4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
v.5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
v.6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
v.7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
v.8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
v.9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
v.10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
v.11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
v.12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
There is an old adage that says, "actions speak louder than words." Rather than be confused by what pope Francis says, watch what he does, through others.

"Father James Martin to speak on welcoming L.G.B.T. Catholics at World Meeting of Families"
"While the Church upholds the ideal of marriage as a permanent commitment between a man and a woman, other unions exist which provide mutual support to [couples], reads the document. Pope Francis encourages us never to exclude but to accompany these couples also, with love, care and support...We need to see L.G.B.T. people as full members of the church, by virtue of their baptism."
Shrewdly, pope Francis allows his chosen representatives and individuals from private meetings to speak for him in regards to the LGBT lifestyle. Do Christians covertly mix truth with error by using others as a proxy? Is this the way of Christ? Christ never mixes truth with error. Satan combines truth with error to deceive.
In the last great deception, Satan uses Popery, Protestant leaders and Spiritualism to support Sunday as a day to worship God. Presently, Satan destroys the family unit through same-sex marriage. Soon the arch-deceiver will attempt to destroy worship of God through required Sunday observance. Satan first destroys the human family. Then he seeks to destroy God's family—the Church—by changing the only day set aside as a memorial of Creation to worship and adore the Creator—the Sabbath. Marriage and Sabbath keeping are two great moral statutes. Both demonstrate morality through the two highest forms of love—Biblical love for one's spouse and supreme love to God. Christians worship God on Sabbath because they love Him. Lawmakers set aside Biblical marriage to support same-sex unions. Soon lawmakers will set aside Sabbath keeping to support Sunday observance. It is rebellion against our Creator to change the day He set aside for worship just as it is to change marriage between a man and woman. God sets aside the seventh-day not the first day to receive honor and worship in recognition of His creatorship [Genesis 2:1-3; Exodus 20:8-11]. To change or amend God's moral law is disrespectful and sinful!
By departing from God's moral law, natural calamities and disasters increase on land and people. And these occurrences are much more destructive. Devastation from fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and earthquakes fill our world. Presently, Hawaii's Big Island Kilauea Volcano has erupted spewing massive amounts of lava.[5] Hawaii is know as a vacation destination for pleasure-lovers worldwide. Travel and Leisure Magazine lists resorts in Lanai, Hawaii and Honolulu, Hawaii as two of the "6 Top Gay-friendly Resorts Around the World."[6] Ironically, a resort in Lisbon, Portugal tops their list. The Great Lisbon Earthquake struck Lisbon, Portugal in 1755—an ancient mecca of world-trade in the Atlantic and the place of a strong homosexual subculture.[7][8] Soon, San Francisco and Los Angeles, California with its great trading ports in the Pacific will experience a cataclysmic earthquake as a result of their defiance of God's moral law through LGBT acceptance and pornography. Scientists predict thousands may perish by a West-Coast earthquake, but Revelation Chapter 11 predicts millions because of immorality. God will show His abhorrence of same-sex marriage, immorality, and the LGBT agenda in America. This earthquake will be a wakeup call for Americans to return to Bible morality in marriage and the worship of our Creator by remembering the Sabbath.
However, pope Francis and the Catholic Church have a different agenda. Through their influence, Protestants in America will echo the call for Americans to stop natural calamities by returning to God through church attendance on Sunday. Yet Sunday observance and the LGBT agenda break God's moral law. The call to mandate Sunday observance after this devastating earthquake will not solve, but exasperate natural disasters. Pope Francis enumerates his agenda for Sunday observance in Laudato Si because of climate change. Recently, the pope met with Oil Company CEO's to further his plan for world dominance by discussing climate change.[9] Pope Francis' climate change encyclical, Laudato Si, incorporates a spiritual component for Sunday rest—an observance that defies God's moral command to keep holy the Sabbath day. Sunday observance and LGBT acceptance are the two great moral issues of our day—NOT climate change as defined by pope Francis' pantheistic encyclical, Laudato Si.
In full view of natural calamities, Christian churches and the Catholic Church embrace the LGBT community against the moral law of God. They unite under the false garb of love and mercy while simultaneously lowering the standard of Bible morality through deceitful compromises. No matter what the pretense, those who refuse God's law will always unite together to reject it. LGBT acceptance has traveled worldwide and so will the soon coming National Sunday Law. While the churches emphasize much about morality in family life and healthy living, they concede with the LGBT lifestyle showing their duplicity. Popery and professed Christian leaders will be the greatest influence to lead people to death and hell. Sadly, many Seventh-day Adventists by attempting to win the favor of the world will reject their faith. Those who reject Sunday observance will be persecuted and hated. They will accuse Sabbath keepers for breaking down morals in society because they reject Sunday and call sin by its right name. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Prophets and Kings p. 276 - 278
"Ought men to be surprised over a sudden and unexpected change in the dealings of the Supreme Ruler with the inhabitants of a fallen world?"
"The forbearance of God has been very great—so great that when we consider the continuous insult to His holy commandments, we marvel. The Omnipotent One has been exerting a restraining power over His own attributes. But He will certainly arise to punish the wicked, who so boldly defy the just claims of the Decalogue."
"God allows men a period of probation; but there is a point beyond which divine patience is exhausted, and the judgments of God are sure to follow. The Lord bears long with men, and with cities, mercifully giving warnings to save them from divine wrath; but a time will come when pleadings for mercy will no longer be heard, and the rebellious element that continues to reject the light of truth will be blotted out, in mercy to themselves and to those who would otherwise be influenced by their example."
"The time is at hand when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. The Spirit of God is being withdrawn. Disasters by sea and by land follow one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property! Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man; but in them all, God's purpose may be read. They are among the agencies by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger."
"God's message for the inhabitants of earth today is, 'Be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.' Matthew 24:44. The conditions prevailing in society, and especially in the great cities of the nations, proclaim in thunder tones that the hour of God's judgment is come and that the end of all things earthly is at hand. We are standing on the threshold of the crisis of the ages. In quick succession the judgments of God will follow one another—fire, and flood, and earthquake, with war and bloodshed. We are not to be surprised at this time by events both great and decisive; for the angel of mercy cannot remain much longer to shelter the impenitent."[10]
