King James Bible<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Genesis 2:24)\u00a0 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.<\/p>\n

(Matthew 19:5)\u00a0 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh<\/p>\n

(Matthew 19:6)\u00a0 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.<\/p>\n

(Mark 10:8)\u00a0 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.<\/p>\n

(Ephesians 5:31)\u00a0 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.<\/p>\n

P. S. – BTW, Traditional Marriage is not my choice of terminology.\u00a0 It is either God Sanctioned Marriage or it not marriage.<\/div>\n

Washington Referendum Moves Forward<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

by Karla Dial<\/p>\n

The effort to repeal a same-sex marriage law in Washington passed its first major hurdle this week, when a county judge approved the wording for a referendum that could eventually wind up on the state ballot in November.<\/p>\n

Though Thurston County Judge Tom McPhee removed language stating that the law \u201credefines marriage\u201d\u2014saying the word limit means the referendum can only mention the three main components of the law to be repealed, Joseph Backholm, executive director of the Family Policy Institute of Washington, said it makes little difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody understands that this fundamentally about redefining marriage. And is it going to be a genderless institution or not?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In order to get the referendum on the ballot, Protect Marriage Washington needs to gather 121,000 valid petition signatures by June 6. Backholm said 50,000 would be in \u201cevery corner of the state\u201d by late this afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got at least 50 locations where people can go and pick them up, and that number is increasing by the hour,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had at least 4,000 people who\u2019ve signed up online to ask us to mail them at least one. We\u2019ve got 800 churches at this point that want them. So there are a lot of avenues. It will be hard to miss it in any of the circles we run in. I\u2019m encouraged about the level of interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a huge administrative task in getting it done. It\u2019s a significant volunteer commitment, but I\u2019m optimistic we\u2019ll get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
