This country was founded on christian principles and traditions. Why must we loose our heritage and freedom of religions? There is a terrible wind blowing in our country to strike at biblical principles common to most christian denominations, marriage. In the Book of Genesis The institute of marriage is considered ordained by God for the lifelong relationship between one man as husband and one woman as wife. “But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate” (Mark 10:6–9).
Religious orders are formed when people in a religion disagree like Calvinist, Baptist, Presbyterian, so forth and so on. While I do not wish to see churches splitting, I do think that those who believe it okay to say that marriage spoken of in the bible is wrong should do as they wish but not at the expense of the church. It is their right and we have rights. It is wrong to do thing in a purpose mean way to prove your own theory or validate relationships. Washingtonians in DC are being shut out of a vote on the ballot by council members. Is that right? Please pray for this country. Is this how the Christians felt in the days of Christ. We are in the lion's den. If you want to support the fight in DC visit http://www.stand4marriagedc.com/takeaction/

Why spell G-d?
It is a practice by many Jewish people to omit the o in G-D. I came across this fact some time ago as I started to explore my Jewish Jesus. Y'shua (Jesus) who followed the tradions of the day Luke 4:12-15
G-d's name is treated with unusual reverence and care in Jewish tradition. The divine name, YHWH (spelled with the Hebrew letters yud, hey, vav, hey) is never pronounced. Traditionally, Jews read the word "Adonai" (often translated as "the Lord") whenever reading G-d's holiest name in Torah or in prayer. However, "Adonai" is not G-d's name. It is a personal choice I think to follow this practice. It is one of the ways many have chosen to respect The Creator, The Heavenly Father and the Father of Y'shua.
