Eugene, Author of the Message Bible, has retracted his support for gay marriage

Yesterday, I posted that Eugene Peterson gave his support for gay marriage and said if called upon, he would officiate a same sex union.

Today, he has withdrawn his statement saying he was put on the spot and still believes in marriage being between a man and a woman.

In Washington Post on Thursday he said, "To clarify, I affirm a biblical view of marriage: one man to one woman. I affirm a biblical view of everything. When put on the spot by this particular interviewer, I said yes in the moment," Peterson said of the moment he was asked by Jonathan Merritt in a Religion News Service interview whether he would perform a same-sex marriage.

In the earlier interview released this week, the 84-year-old Presbyterian pastor said that the Christian church was in "transition" on the issue and that he knew a lot of gays and lesbians with good spiritual lives. "I don't think it's something that you can parade, but it's not a right or wrong thing as far as I'm concerned," he said.

But in his latest statement Thursday, Peterson said: "But on further reflection and prayer, I would like to retract that."

*Wow! What can I say? Thank you Jesus! May God help us to take a stand for Him at all times even when we are 'put on the spot'.

Celebrities sell their souls to the devil for fame and fortune

It is said that most Hollywood celebrities, to get to where they are today, made a deal with the devil...they sold their souls for fame and fortune. By selling their souls they submit to Satan so that he totally uses, enslaves and possesses their life, body, mind, will and soul. Satan's goal and agenda becomes theirs. Their life is no more their own. So let it not surprise you when their songs or movies serve Satan's purpose of driving men into deeper darkness. These celebrities are idolized and literally worshiped but clearly they serve Satan and channel demonic spirits through their music and movies. From the likes of Madonna,Jay Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Nicky Minaj ,Eminem, Bob Dylan and so so many others, these are known to be demon possessed having sold their souls to the devil. Melyssa Ford, a Canadian hip hop model and actress ,said in an interview, "If your ultimate goal is to be famous, you have to do a lot to get there like sign your name in blood i...

See how music is used to cast spells...(A must read)

We love music, but do you know there could be more to music than we bargained for? The devil is desperate and we should not be ignorant of his devices and this is one of them. One weapon that he always uses is subtlety . Here's what I pulled from a Wiccan website concerning Magickal music or let me say how they cast spells in music: "A magick spell is the integration of an intent with a physical representation of that intent. "For instance, when you make a Witch’s spell pouch, out of a cloth and some herbs and oils and objects, each of those items represents a part of your intent. And in the magick, you are binding those two things: your intention and the physical world. "This brings your intention into form in the physical world. That's how magick spells work. In magickal music, the intention is wrapped up into a song, and bound into it. "When I create magickal songs, I do it with the guidance of the Divine. In a meditative state...

SEX SCENE on a children's cartoon?!

When I saw this, it made me shudder . The message was so blatant and it was on a children's cartoon. The scene showed two nude male and female characters, with the female holding the male' s genital. But from what I 'heard', it see ms to be the handiwork of some perverts who took a sce ne from a popular cartoon program - teen titans and cre ated that pict ure which is actually a link to a cartoon porn site. A porn site with cartoon characters...who is their ta rget? Children these days have access to android phones, ipads etc. There is no telling what they can do with it. Let's be careful. Protect your children. See the full uncensored pi cture below (18 +)

You think watching porn is a harmless fun? Ex-porn actress, April Garris, gives a glimpse into the ‘spiritual’ side of porn

Many think that watching porn is a harmless fun but few realize the spiritual consequence of indulging in it. The story you are about to read is a part of a testimony by a former porn actress, April Garris. While she was praying for those involved in porn, God opened her eyes to ‘see’ the demonic reality in the porn industry. The vision involved one of those porn shoots she had been involved in. She recalled what happened in the scene. As she visualized herself having hardcore sex and the people all around her, God gave her an insight into the demonic realm that controls the porn industry. She said: " In the vision, I saw a room literally filled with demons. The people involved in the production of the video including myself were completely oblivious to this horrific reality- the total demonic regime which was present. The demons themselves were doing various things. Some of them were watching us have sex. Others were roaming around ...
