Former Arkansas governor and two-time candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, Michael Huckabee, is warning about the ramifications of A.B. 2943 in the State of California:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Gov. Mike Huckabee … says the proposal, AB 2943 … is \u201ca terrible storm that\u2019s brewing on the horizon.\u201d<\/p>\n

It would ban counseling, conferences and even printed materials that advocate for ways to get rid of unwanted same-sex attractions, and several experts have not only confirmed the vaguely written proposal could ban sales of Bibles,<\/a> but one ministry expert has announced plans to boycott the state with his conferences.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou may have heard the news or seen the reports, but people of faith in California are bracing for one of the most dramatic ideological shifts away from the First Amendment in our nation\u2019s history,\u201d Huckabee said. \u201cIt\u2019s the kind of storm that destroys the foundations of liberty and a free society.\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed out the bill, passed in the California Assembly 50-18 and soon to be voted on in the state Senate, \u201cwould make illegal any sale of goods or services that seek to change an individual\u2019s sexual orientation, behaviors or gender expressions.\u201d<\/p>\n

The governor, now serving as a commentator in several capacities, said, \u201cIt prevents faith-led counselors from assisting clients with same-sex attraction or gender confusion. It prohibits churches from holding any ticketed events addressing topics of sexuality.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it\u2019s FAR more reaching than that,\u201d he said. \u201cThis means the sale of ANY book that states the practice of homosexuality or transgender identification as immoral actions would be illegal in California. \u2026This could include the Bible!\u201d …<\/p>\n

\n

He said sponsors deny it, but the \u201clegal experts agree that AB 2943 is so broadly worded in its description of prohibited activities that it can easily be interpreted to stop the sale goods and services that promote a biblical worldview!\u201d<\/p>\n

He warned, \u201cThis is a massive attack on Christianity. It should alarm us that the constitutional problems inherent in the bill were not obvious to those in the California Assembly.\u201d …<\/p>\n

The California bill … in the state\u2019s Business and Professional Code, would regard the offering of gay-conversion therapy as \u201cconsumer fraud.\u201d 05\/13\/18 http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2018\/05\/mike-huckabee-california-in-massive-attack-on-christianity\/#BXD67SAiVm55vrBt.99<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I have warned about A.B. 2943 before (see California AB 2943 has the potential to ban Bibles and Congressman says religion must evolve<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We also made a video that discusses it and put that on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n

Banning the Bible?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Could we see a ban of the Holy Bible in North America? Have there been partial bans proposed and enforced by government officials in Canada? Do any USA politicians consider any biblical teachings as fraudulent and hence banning them is NOT a violation of the 1st amendment to the Constitution of the USA? Are there risks associated with AB 2943? Have politicians like Hillary Clinton and California Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi called for long-held religious beliefs to change and \u201cevolve with the times\u201d? What about Jude 1:3 and 2 Timothy 3:14? Are there biblical prophecies about not being able to hear the word of God? Might we see more restrictions on explaining teachings of the Bible on the Internet and other forms of media? What are some of the verses that various government people do not want made public? Dr. Thiel provides facts on these issues and more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link: Banning the Bible?<\/a><\/p>\n

While the USA likes to act like it is the bastion of free speech and freedom of religion, more and more restrictions keep getting proposed.<\/p>\n

Understand that other LGBTQ agenda supporters have published statements like “the truth about religion in America. It also reveals an ugly narrow-mindedness.”<\/p>\n

The Bible warns against the rise of despisers of good in the last days:<\/p>\n

\n
1<\/strong><\/span> But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: <\/span><\/div>\n
2<\/strong><\/span> For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, <\/span><\/div>\n
3<\/strong><\/span> unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, <\/span><\/div>\n
4<\/strong><\/span> traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, <\/span><\/div>\n
5<\/strong><\/span> having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! <\/span><\/div>\n
6<\/strong><\/span> For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, <\/span><\/div>\n
7<\/strong><\/span> always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-7)
\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Those of us who hold to the idea that sexual relationships are only to be between a man married to a woman are considered to have “ugly narrow-mindedness” by supporters of the LGBTQ movement.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the LGBTQ supporting crowd does not want people to believe the following:<\/p>\n

\n
9<\/strong><\/span> Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, <\/span><\/div>\n
10<\/strong><\/span> nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. <\/span><\/div>\n
11<\/strong><\/span> And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.<\/span> (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

California Assembly Bill 2943 is another step towards censorship in the USA.<\/p>\n

The Bible not only warns that homosexuality, lesbianism, and cross-dressing are wrong, it also condemns those who condone all forms of sexual immorality:<\/p>\n

5<\/strong> A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman\u2019s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 22:5)<\/p>\n

24<\/strong><\/span> Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, <\/span><\/div>\n
25<\/strong><\/span> who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. <\/span><\/div>\n
26<\/strong><\/span> For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. <\/span><\/div>\n
27<\/strong><\/span> 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. <\/span><\/div>\n
28<\/strong><\/span> 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; <\/span><\/div>\n
29<\/strong><\/span> being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, <\/span><\/div>\n
30<\/strong><\/span> backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, <\/span><\/div>\n
31<\/strong><\/span> undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; <\/span><\/div>\n
32<\/strong><\/span> who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.<\/span> (Romans 1:24-32)<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In Canada, quoting parts of Romans 1 in certain ways is essentially banned (watch Canadian censoring of the Bible<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n

The Bible warns that more censorship is coming:<\/p>\n

11 \u201cBehold, the days are coming,\u201d says the Lord God,
\n\u201cThat I will send a famine on the land,
\nNot a famine of bread,
\nNor a thirst for water,
\nBut of hearing the words of the Lord.
\n12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
\nAnd from north to east;
\nThey shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
\nBut shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As many realize, in order to protect the rights of the citizens of the USA nation to speak even against the government, the Bill of Rights<\/em> came into effect as Constitutional Amendments on December 15, 1791. Here is the first amendment:<\/p>\n
