24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; Romans 1:24-28 (NKJV)
Homosexuality is a sin that should not be validated. God loves the sinner, which is why the Father gave His only Begotten Son that all humanity may be saved from a sinful life. Nonetheless God does not tolerate sin. All humanity reaps what they sow in this life or the life to come. It is better to reap in this life because reaping in the next life is eternal separation from God - that means partnership in hell.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but[b] have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” John 3:14-21 (NKJV)
Jesus is all about Godly Love, Salvation from a dark world and the Godly Light extinguishing ungodly darkness.
The world system ebbed and flowed in decreasing and increasing flows of darkness. Corporations such as the Ford Motor Company are publicly emerging as blinded by the dark evil that validates alternative lifestyles as acceptable to society when those same lifestyles are unacceptable to God.
The times they are a changing. Ultimately the Parousia of the Messiah will happen. On that day will be the beginning of Light extinguishing the ebb and flow of darkness. Amen!

Conservative Groups Boycott Ford Motor Co. Over Gay Rights Support
Monday, March 13, 2006

WASHINGTON — Nineteen conservative groups said Monday they would reinstate a boycott of Ford Motor Co., contending the automaker reneged on an agreement to stop supporting gay rights organizations.
The groups set up a Web site urging supporters not to buy Ford vehicles after the automaker said last December it would continue running advertisements in gay publications. The American Family Association, which is leading this latest effort, had originally called for a boycott of Ford last year but suspended it for six months at the request of some Ford dealers.
"Ford has the right to financially support homosexual groups promoting homosexual marriage, but at the same time consumers have a right not to purchase automobiles made by Ford," said AFA Chairman Donald Wildmon in a statement.
Ford, in a statement, said it was "proud of its tradition of treating all with respect and we remain focused on what we do best, building and selling the most innovative cars and trucks worldwide." Ford spokeswoman Kathleen Vokes declined further comment.
In December, Ford said it would stop advertising its Jaguar and Land Rover luxury brands in gay publications to reduce marketing costs. But several gay rights groups raised concerns about the plan and met with the automaker, leading to Ford's announcement that it would place corporate ads featuring all eight of its brands in gay publications.
Joe Laymon, Ford's group vice president for corporate human resources, said in December he hoped the decision would "remove any ambiguity about Ford's desire to advertise to all important audiences and put this particular issue to rest."
Wildmon and other leading conservatives wrote Ford Chairman and CEO Bill Ford in January, asking him to remove the automaker "from involvement in the cultural war."
Randy Sharp, AFA's director of special projects, said Monday that Ford's chairman "refused to acknowledge, much less reply, to our concerns."
Gay rights organizations criticized the boycott. Brad Luna, spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization, said "clear trends towards fairness, nondiscrimination, inclusion and acceptance of gays in corporate America are unstoppable."
"Any attempts to turn back the clock such as this one are out of step with the values of the majority of Americans," Luna said.
The American Family Association says it has 2 million online members who have requested e-mail alerts about different issues and it sends a monthly news journal to 160,000 homes. Other groups joining the boycott include: Center for Reclaiming America, Coalitions for America and the Liberty Counsel.
In afternoon trading Monday, Ford shares dropped 2 cents, or 0.26 percent, to $7.82 on the New York Stock Exchange.
