WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The following was released today by Randall Terry, Director, Operation Rescue Insurrecta Nex:
Christians will gather at two key locations to remind homosexual marchers that God loves them, and they can be redeemed, but society cannot “normalize” a self-destructive behavior that can rob a human being of their eternal soul. Christians will bear witness to the truth: God made marriage to be a sacred covenant and sacrament between a man and a woman, and His Laws and order cannot be nullified – not by them, not by the Courts, and not by President Obama.
Times and Locations:
Saturday Evening, Oct 10, 6:00 PM: Location of Human Rights Coalition Banquet, at which President Obama is the keynote speaker. Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. 801 Mount Vernon Pl NW, Washington, DC.
Sunday, Oct 11, 12:00 Noon: National Equality March Parade route, Southeast Quadrant of Lafayette Park, across from White House.
Randall Terry States:
“We can – and must – meet these men and women with compassion; they are made in the image of God, and Christ died to forgive us all of our sins. We all have sin; we all need his love and forgiveness. “But that is exactly the issue: homosexual behavior is a mortal sin. It is self-destructive. It is against nature. It needs forgiveness, not codification and normalization.
“We do not deny that many of these men and women simply want to live their lives in peace. But the leadership of this movement is hell-bent on creating “homosexual marriage;” a thing that can never be, for our Maker alone has the right to define this institution, and He has declared it to be between a man and a woman.
“By seeking to normalize and codify a thing that God calls mortal sin, they seek to tear the very fabric of Christian society apart, and with the tattered remains, weave a hedonistic hell, a modern day Sodom. This effects us all; our schools, our businesses, our children, our grandchildren, and all who will be harmed by the breaking of God’s Eternal Order, and the shattering of the Sacred Institution He created.
“If they wish to practice a self-destructive behavior behind closed doors, so be it. We will pray for them, and offer them the same forgiveness we will all need. But when they try to force the rest of us to create a right to “homosexual marriage” where none exists, and to say that an objectively evil behavior is good and even desirable, we must fearlessly oppose them with all our might.
“The child-killing movement and the ‘homosexual marriage’ have formed an unbreakable bond – a ‘cultural axis of evil’ – because they both spring from the same root: the rejection of God’s Law and Natural Law concerning human sexuality and procreation.
“President Obama does America and the nations of the world a great disservice by legitimizing this self destructive, degrading behavior by speaking at the HRC banquet. On one day he speaks at Notre Dame, talking about the common good, and then proceeds to attack life and marriage in his policies, thereby destroying the common good. It is shameful.”

Interesting that we are committing such a horrible sin. When did marching and showing people that hate is wrong become a sin. What Did Jesus Do?
i’ll be there alongside the christians. i’m a healthy, balanced, society-enhancing bisexual man, and i’ll be the one grabbing other men near me, and kissing them in full view of the christian protestors.
“love is the answer” – hmmm, what was that stuff jesus christ said about love, anyway? day-um, i’m not even a christian and i understood his message!
These people are entitled to their view. Is it posted here just to enrage us that fellow religious people disagree with us and condemn what we consider socially and religious valid lifestyles? Let’s not fuel the discord.
Excuse me, but I am a gay Christian who loves my God and my Savior Jesus Christ and I DO NOT believe in what you are doing! Nobody is forcing you to acknowledge us homosexuals, so why put yourself in the middle of our fight for equality? You don’t know the struggles we go through day after day, and if it weren’t for God and my faith I would have no one to turn to. I certainly don’t have any of you to turn to because you turn us away by your teachings. You need to learn to welcome us with open and loving arms, not protesting in hatred on something that doesn’t even concern you to begin with. It’s sad, and God is crying. I’m going to be praying for YOU that your eyes are finally opened and you can learn to love and accept everyone the way Christ does.
“President Obama does America and the nations of the world a great disservice by legitimizing this self destructive, degrading behavior by speaking at the HRC banquet.”
Oh yes, he’s such a horrible person speaking at a campaign for HUMAN RIGHTS! So what does that make you? A group of people who fight to keep ignorance and hatred on the streets? Time to take a good look in the mirror people!
“We can – and must – meet these men and women with compassion; they are made in the image of God, and Christ died to forgive us all of our sins.”
And just like heterosexuals there are some who have accepted Christ into their lives (like myself) and some who have not. There is no difference between the heterosexuals who deny God and the homosexuals who deny God, therefore we shouldn’t be singled out as groups of people who need your extra attention.
“God made marriage to be a sacred covenant and sacrament between a man and a woman, and His Laws and order cannot be nullified – not by them, not by the Courts, and not by President Obama.”
I’m sorry, but MAN has been in control of marriage from day one. MAN decided black men couldn’t marry white women back in the day. MAN decided homosexuals couldn’t marry presently. MAN can easilly decide to legalize same-sex marriage in the near future. And don’t talk to me about sacred when half the time marriage isn’t even a special ceremony anymore and 99% of the time God has nothing to do with it. Seriously, people, WAKE UP!
Love to you all!
I have read the message of Mr. Terry with open mouth! I don’t know him.
But I want to add him the words of Mr. President used at his speach:
“You can’t really get on with preaching the Gospel until you’ve touched minds and hearts.”

This is degrading, we only want to marry to have the same legal right as any other american, i wouldnt care if god (or if he even exist which is totally another issue) condemns me as long as the state recognizes me as legally married with my partner. I personally would care less if god recognizes it as legal. The fouding fathers tried so hard to seperate the church and the state for this very nature. It is not a natural law for marriage to be between men and women, is what we percieve as natural law. In nature homosexual activity exist as well. I mean marriage is not a word, what gives it power is what we define marriage which to me is the state recognizing a bond between two individuals; a family if you will. Its the church that adds more meaning to it, maybe the church should provide their own marriage ceremony and leave the gays alone…. again this is totally my opinion

I asked myself and you, why is added: ” Your comment is awaiting moderation. ” (see above)
And why today’s released message by Randall Terry, Director, Operation Rescue Insurrecte, is not awaiting moderation?
I want to understand this in order to touche minds and hearts and the American way of democratic thinking.
