Christians fight for rights at work in European court – Home News – UK – The Independent

Christians fight for rights at work in European court – Home News – UK – The Independent.

Four Christians who faced disciplinary action in their respective jobs have taken their cases to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to argue their cases.

Two of the cases involve the right to wear crosses at work, another involves a marriage counsellor who lost his job after expressing reluctance at giving sex therapy to gay couples, and the final case, a registrar who would not perform civil partnerships for same-sex couples.

The four have delivered their cases to the court, arguing their right to religious freedom is a stake. The landmark case will have consequences for future cases in the UK, and Europe.

Furthermore, a top British QC has said that Christians should, “leave their beliefs at home or get another job”. However, some Christians feel there is a different set of standards for Muslims, with employers adapting dress codes to accommodate the headscarf for female employees, for example.

The European Court is expected to give it’s verdict shortly.

Possible motives of accused D.C shooter identified

Floyd Lee Corkins II of Herndon Virginia, has been charged with federal firearms violations and assault with intent to kill.

Last Wednesday, Corkins entered the Washington DC downtown office of the Family Research Council, pulled out a 9-mm gun from his backpack and started shooting.

According to the FBI, Corkins’ stated “I don’t like your politics,” prior to the shooting.  After being wrestled to the ground by a security guard, Corkin also said “… it was not about you, it was what this place stands for”, Fox News reported.

The Family Research Council’s website indicates they seek to advance “faith, family and freedom in public policy and public opinion”.  They oppose gay marriage and abortion, have lobbied federally on behalf of these issues and have supported Chick-fil-A’s president Dan Cathy and his recent remarks on the gay marriage issue.

Corkins is a volunteer with the DC center for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Community.  He also was carrying sandwiches from Chick-fil-A in addition to 50 rounds of ammunition.

Church prayer angers French gay rights groups – France – FRANCE 24

Church prayer angers French gay rights groups – France – FRANCE 24.

The Catholic Church in France will revive an old tradition next week: “Prayer for France” will be read out in churches across the country.

The mobilization of churches to pray across France, is in response to President Francois Hollande’s desire to legilise same-sex marriage and allow gay couples to adopt. Prayer for France will be attacking the governments proposed changes to the law. The church’s plans have angered gay rights groups in France.

The “Prayer for France” used to be an annual event, started by King Louis XIII, but died out after World War II. Louis XIII made August 15th a day for the churches across the country to pray for the good of France.

UN ARMS TREATY CONFERENCE FAILS TO FIND CONSENSUS

Through July the United Nations security council were meeting in New York. They were seeking to produce a UN Arms Treaty. Amongst those taking part in the negotiations were Iran.

The Arms Treaty would have had implications on the Second Amendment Right of Americans to bear arms. After the Colorado shooting many believed the arms deal would find enough support to be passed.

However, the conference has ended without agreement.

Nevertheless, this should not only be of concern to Americans but people in all nations. The United Nations has passed many bills in the past which impact on our lives. Do we really want Iranian diplomats deciding on the legitimacy of the Second Amendment, for example? Do African nations want US and European diplomats telling them they must legalise gay marriage?

The Arms Treaty has been defeated for now, but the UN has made it clear they want to curtail the freedoms of American citizens to own fire arms.

SAN FRANCISCO: Gay marriage ban backers seek Supreme Court review

Those who are trying to ban same sex marriages through the law, namely Proposition 8 are pursuing their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 2008 California voters approved a ban on same sex marriage through Proposition 8, but the legal battle just started.  The latest decision came from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which is based in San Francisco.  They had ruled the Proposition Unconstitutional.

If the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to take the case this will allow same sex marriages to resume in California.

Lesbian Reverend at heart of Presbyterian gay marriage quandary

Jane Spahr, won’t be present at the Presbyterian Church’s legislative body meeting this week where they will discuss whether or not Presbyterian ministers will be allowed to perform same-sex marriages.

Jane Spahr-69, a lesbian evangelist, resident of San Francisco and… a Reverend, has a history of defying the church and for being rebuked by the church court for performing same-sex weddings in California.  She states: “I’m hoping that the General Assembly will be touched by the spirit, and they will see our marriages not as second class but as equal with our brothers and sisters”.

COULD SAME SEX MARRIAGE SWING THE ELECTION?

After Obama and Biden came out in support of same sex marriage, Republican Presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, clarified his views, saying “marriage is between a man and a woman”.

As the debate continues, pollsters wonder how this matter will impact the election.
We have a President who openly declares same-sex marriage is alright.  This would be unthought of a few years ago. It shows that American public opinion on homosexuality has been so programmed by the liberal left, that this appears to be no longer a problem, for the majority of American people.

Is that true, or will this become a major election issue? The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transexual community began to make progress in politics in San Francisco in the 1970’s with Harvey Milk……..

And Hollywood used it’s influence to program the minds of the youth with pro-sodomite imagery. With this level of political endorsement and the continual bombardment of homosexual and lesbian propaganda,……. consider what the attitude of YOUR children will be towards same-sex marriage?

This is why Prophet TV needs to be in key media areas, and why we have established a gateway in San Francisco. We must break the spirit controlling these regions which impact the entire nation and the world.

Obama talks gay rights at Clooney fundraiser

As the Presidential elections are only 5 months away Obama is busy on the fund-raising trail, building a substantial war chest.

Recently George Clooney hosted an Obama fundraiser at his Hollywood home, which raised nearly $15 million.

Tickets cost $40,000 each and amongst the 150 guests were Barbara Streisand, Salma Hayek, Tobey Maguire and Jack Black.

Obama delighted the crowd with his speech endorsing gay-rights, which came only days after he came out, openly expressing his views on same-sex marriage, after conversations with his children.

Since Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage, he has been free in expressing his support of Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender issues.

With so many big money democrat supporters – passionate about same-sex marriage, or homosexual issues, – Obama has seen this position pay off with significant donations pouring in.

Although his strong black support base tend to hold a traditional view on marriage, Obama seems to be hoping they will vote according to race, and not moral conviction.

 

WHY IS HOLLYWOOD IMPORTANT?

It is interesting that in recent history, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) groups have shied away from the ballot box in their fight for same sex marriage. The American population have made their feelings known: they do not want homosexual marriage. However, these groups have turned to the legislature to win their battle.

After California rejected sodomite marriage in a referendum, homosexual law makers from San Francisco have sought to use the law to force their agenda through and they are seeing success fueled by the “equal rights” strategy.

In the meantime, Hollywood are pushing the LGBT agenda relentlessly. Teenagers today will view homosexual and lesbian lifestyles as normal; they are constantly bombarded with imagery via the media especially aimed at teenagers.  For example, American Horror Story, 30 Rock, Modern Family, Being Human, Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf, Game of Thrones, Broadwalk Empire, Glee, Law and Order, Downton Abbey and Southland.

This is why Prophet TV has become established in media centers – To block the demonic spirits which seek to influence the leaders, law makers and celebrities who decide what will play on our TV and movie screens and what children are taught about healthy relationships and marriage in our society . However, we often stand alone!

Our New York and Santa Monica gates need more people to walk in this revelation and to stand in the gap to protect the people.  We also need a gateway established in San Francisco where lawmakers are pushing the sodomite marriage agenda through the courts. The devil is using the media as a tool to demonise and destroy this generation – and we have so much ground to cover in the battle….  Become a monthly partner so we can extend the places we are established, by joining with ICOTG!

 

UK Government Looking to Redefine Marriage

The British Prime Minister, David Cameron, has began a public consultation into “how” marriage “ought to be defined” in the UK. Currently same-sex couples are permitted to enter into civil-partnerships. These civil-partnerships allows all the legal benefits of marriage, without the title.

However, Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender (LGBT) groups are campaigning for marriage itself to be redefined to allow for same-sex couples to be married. This would not only be taught in schools as what marriage is; but churches would be obliged to allow same-sex couples access to church buildings to become married.

Opinion polls show the majority of the people are opposed to any changes in the definition of marriage, and groups opposed to the move highlight the importance of traditional marriage in society for raising children.

Spiritually Prophet TV has highlighted the consequences for a region when LGBT marriage is made legal.
