REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT

SUPPORTING GAY

MARRIAGES

Fox News contributor and former Bush deputy chief of staff Karl Rove said this morning on “This Week” that he can imagine a future Republican presidential can-didate supporting gay marriage.

Karl Rove

FIRST GAY PRESIDENT

Like many others, I braced myself for disappointment. And yet when I watched the interview the tears came flooding down. The moment reminded me of my own wedding day. I had figured it out in my head, but not in my heart . . . To have the President of the United Sates affirm my humanity—and the humanity of all gay Americans—was, unexpect-edly, a watershed.”

22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

Lev. 18:22

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

Rom. 1:26-28

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

1 Cor. 6:9-11

7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Jude 1:7

6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly;

2 Peter 2:6

4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Heb. 13:4

20 And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man.“

Mark 7:20-21

22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. . . . 24 'Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
