Big business has stomped into another state, trying to impose the values of the cultural left. This time, a governor who dared to stand up for responsible policy is being targeted by big business’ bullying over bathrooms.
At issue is H.B. 2, a bill Republican Gov. Pat McCrory signed into law last week after it passed the House 83-25 and the Senate 32-0.
The bill accomplishes two main objectives. First, it says that private schools, restaurants, stores, and businesses are free to establish whatever bathroom policies they’d like, but that access to government bathrooms will be determined primarily by biological sex.
Second, it says that North Carolina will have one set of regulations for the entire state when it comes to employment and public accommodation, rather than additional piecemeal regulations city by city.
Big business and special interest groups are threatening boycotts. The mayor of San Francisco issued an order to “to bar any publicly-funded city employee travel to the State of North Carolina.” ThinkProgress reports that IBM, PayPal, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Salesforce are all against the law. The ACLU has even lodged a federal lawsuit against North Carolina.
So unless we choose the National Buggery…,er I mean Basketball, Association over God’s word they promise not to come to North Carolina?
Ah, OK.
Sounds like a good deal to me, eh Joe? -- they stay out of our state, and we don’t continue to document and proclaim their abominations elsewhere…
I’d like to strike the same deal with Apple, Google, and whichever other corporations want to keep pushing the high-profile sodomy lifestyle in our faces: That they should leave our state, and’we’ll stop reminding them of how they are guilty of assisting in the comission of ongoing abominations.
Sin is sin, and guilt is guilt. The person(s) who consent to, promote, assist, applaud, or help to conceal the sins of others, are themselves guilty of those sins. They are on your conscience, a mark upon your souls forever -- unless you truly repent and receive a conversion of heart -- and you will be Judged accordingly.
To those who commit or abbet fornication and sodomy, along with every other perversion of the flesh, the second half of Romans, Ch. 1 is addressed to YOU --
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:
19 Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable.
21 Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
23 And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.
24 Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
27 And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
28 And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
30 Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
32 Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
—--
Your reprobate minds, and your shameful affections
bear witness against you,
Your abominations of the flesh indict you,
Your vanity and lack of shame condemn you,
and any claims of ignorance shall not later acquit you,
But Justice unto you shall be done in full,
and the wage of sin is and ever shall be death.
YOU HAVE INDEED BEEN WARNED
