"Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily,
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil."

Report for November 22, 2003

Norway has a state church by law. The sodomites have had their way with the civil government, and they now also control the churches. Below you will find a pathetic account of where unbiblical church-state relationships and unresisted, unrestrained sexual perversion lead. The controversy in Norway is no longer over Christians publicly preaching the biblical truth about homosexual acts. It is not about pastors preaching the biblical truth about homosexuality in their churches. All of that was put to a stop long ago. THE CONTROVERSY IS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT CHURCHES SHOULD FLY THE SODOMITE FLAG! Those opposed apparently have taken their stand on the shifting, subjective sand that brought Norway to this apostate state in the first place as a reading of the last paragraph of the story makes clear. Did these people ever hear of God's eternal, immutable, inerrant Word--THE BIBLE? "And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God" (Luke 4:4). America is where Norway once was. Someday soon, America will be where Norway is now.

Church flies gay flag

Churches in North-Norway guarantee homosexuals that they will be welcomed without prejudice. The parishes of Svolvaer and Vagan promise that no negative words can be uttered towards gay churchgoers in their churches, a promise that is bound not to please everyone.

In Svolvaer Church parish council member Yngve Henriksen hangs the rainbow colored flag used as homosexuality's banner. The flag is meant to show gays and lesbians that they are welcome here and can worship without fear of finding themselves the subject of a fiery sermon, newspaper Lofotposten reports.

The two parish councils voted to do something to fight negative attitudes towards homosexuals.

"The church has a sad history in that respect," parish educator Torbjoern Ollestad told the newspaper.

Vagan Church was quick to fly the welcoming banner, Svolvaer debated the issue for over a year before an 8-2 majority raised the flag.

Acting rector Gisle Melling pointed out that the decision will affect all who speak in the churches.

"Everyone must respect the council's decision. This flag clearly states that no attacks on homosexuals will be accepted here. People who have other viewpoints must simply remain silent. That applies to priests as well," Melling said.

The clergyfolk and council members stressed that the flag also symbolized a positive attitude towards homosexual clergy, including those that wish to live in partnership.

Svein Tennes, leader of Svolvaer's parish council doesn't think the flag-waving is a good idea, and expects many parishioners will react.

"I do not think this will help the homosexual cause. There are strong feelings about this in the congregation, and I don't think the flag is a good idea," Tennes said.

Tennes said the gesture would only cause confusion since the clergy should tend to the interests of the entire congregation, without granting any special treatment and wondered if the door had been opened to demands for a flag for any group with a grievance.
