For the mystery of the one without Torah is already at work: while only He (God) is restraining him at the present time until he would come out from among you. And then the one without Torah will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy by the breath of His mouth and will abolish by the appearance of His coming, whose coming is through the efficiency of the woks of Satan with great power and false signs and wonders and in every unrighteous deception for those who are being destroyed, because they did not accept the love of the truth for them to be saved. And because of this God sends them a working of deception so they would believe a lie, so that all those would be judged who did not believe in the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 (Power New Testament)

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. John 15:18-22

"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,   when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." Jesus - Mark 8:38

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" (Isaiah 5:20)

"And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." Jesus - Matthew 18:5-6 NIV

Family Research Council: What can I do to prevent "hate crimes" from becoming law? 

Why doesn't the mainstream media report these FACTS? The increase in children being born out of wedlock in Scandinavia since marriage was redefined! William Murray, the chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition, warns of the dangers of legalizing same-sex marriage in the United States. He says Scandinavia has had nearly a decade of legal homosexual marriage, and it has nearly destroyed the institution of marriage altogether. More details: http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/4/132004c.asp (See more facts at Lifestyle Consequences of homosexuals. What then is the real hate crime?

 Teaching our children as "normal" that "which goes against nature."

Marriage and the traditional family structure has forever been the very foundation of any "civil" society. If we loose this foundation, then America will cease to be a "civil" society. America will indeed become embroiled with children born out of wedlock, as Scandinavia has proven. Gross displays of homosexual acts will no longer be confined Disney gay days. America's health care will also suffer further risks of sexual diseases, resulting in exuberant costs, and a continuous threat of tainted blood supplies.  

Misusing words: i.e. Discrimination - Mark Danis, attorney for the ACLU, said that the primary issue is whether "city land can be used as the [Boy Scouts] headquarters for the head of an organization that discriminates."

Hate-crime legislation is NOT about anti-violence.  It is a deception being used to legitimize homosexuality and assault Christian Scriptural traditional marriage values. Homosexuals, transgender, and pedophiles who go against nature (Romans 1:18-31) are missing the opportunity to be whole men and women. And instead are allowing for tragedies, temptations and traumas of their flawed life-style.

The Hate Crimes Bill (S 966) that Senator Ted Kennedy introduced in 2003 will more than likely serve as a guide for any Hate Crimes amendment. Here are some of the bill's provisions:

--Defines "hate crime" as "a crime in which the defendant intentionally selects a victim, or in the case of a property crime, the property that is the object of the crime, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, or sexual orientation of any person."

--Finds that "hate crimes" affect interstate commerce (this is the constitutional justification and authority supporters of the legislation invoke to push a bill like this) by "impeding the movement of members of targeted groups and forcing such members to move across State lines to escape the incidence or risk of such violence; and by preventing members of targeted groups from purchasing goods and services, obtaining or sustaining employment, or participating in other commercial activity."

--Allows federal prosecutors to take jurisdiction from State law enforcement entities over "hate crimes" if the official believes that (1) "the State does not have jurisdiction or does not intend to exercise jurisdiction" OR (2) "the State has requested that the Federal Government take jurisdiction" OR (3) "the State does not object to the Federal Government assuming jurisdiction" OR (4) "the verdict or sentence obtained pursuant to State charges left demonstratively unvindicated the Federal interest in eradicating bias-motivated violence."

--Creates two different types of offenses: a blanket federal crime if the offense is committed because of "actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin" and a provisional federal crime if the offense is committed because of "actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability" and occurs in way that affects interstate or foreign commerce. (The bill provides a number of ways commerce could be affected.) More on this bill here: http://www.HumanEventsOnline.com/article.php?id=4073
