Letter To The Editor: Destruction Of America

Submitted by Carol A. Clark on April 10, 2019 - 2:00 pm

By LUCILLE BONNER

Los Alamos

America has already been corrupted by legalization of murder of babies in the womb and has ignored the sanctity of marriage by legalization of any kind of sexual behavior. Now our Congress is considering House Resolution, HR-5, to make indecency legal in the name of equality. It proposes to make it a crime to forbid men from entering women’s restrooms or showers.

If we are wise, we will realize that we cannot change God’s laws not to murder (Exodus 20:13), to honor marriage as He planned it (Genesis 2:24), and to behave decently (Mark 7:21-23).
