House Republicans at a conference meeting heard a Bible verse that calls for death for homosexuals shortly before the chamber v**ed on the morning of May 26 to reject a spending bill that included an amendment barring discrimination based on sexual orientation and g****r identity.
Whether the freshman member who gave the prayer intended to condemn members of the L**T community has left Republicans and Democrats deeply divided. What's certain is that the Energy-Water appropriations bill that came to the floor later in the morning was defeated on a resounding 112-305 v**e, with a majority of the GOP caucus in opposition.
Georgia Rep. Rick W. Allen led the opening prayer by reading from Romans 1:18-32, and Revelations 22:18-19. An aide to Allen told CQ that Allen did not mention the upcoming v**e on the Energy-Water spending bill or an amendment that would reinforce a p**********l directive prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating against L**T employees.
Gay rights advocates called on top Republicans to condemn the "vile and dangerous remarks" and censure Allen.
"At a time when L**T people face staggering rates of discrimination, harassment and violence, Representative Allen's comments spread h**e that does real harm," Human Rights Campaign Senior Vice President said in a statement.
Passages in the verses refer to homosexuality and the penalty for homosexual behavior. “And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet,” reads Romans 1:27, which Allen read, according to his office.
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, h**ers of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them,” read lines 28-32, which Allen also recited, according to his office.

We're ALL worthy of death Pete because we ALL sin and fall short of God's standard (Romans 3:23) and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). The only thing that saves us is the grace and mercy that God gives us through what His Son Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. And I really don't care what you think about that because no matter what you say it's TRUE!

Amen!
And even though we continually battle our nature and defy Him, He is always ready to forgive us.
