Affirming Sunday, a Christian tradition celebrating LGBTQUI+ identities, will once again be celebrated on Sunday, June 4, 2023, during Pride Month. This event is a nationwide initiative that recognizes both Sunday and the LGBT+ movement. The sponsors of Affirming Sunday published the following call for everyone to embrace this expanding celebration:
“The 2nd Annual Affirming Sunday, scheduled for June 4th, is a nationwide initiative aimed at promoting LGBTQIA+ inclusion and acceptance in Christian communities, through inclusive sermons, guest speakers, and community events, sponsored by nuFoundation, believr, and Launchpad Partners.” [1]
“Held on the first Sunday of Pride Month, Affirming Sunday encourages churches to embrace both pride and faith by supporting and recognizing the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals within their communities. This year, churches and church leaders are invited to participate in various activities that demonstrate solidarity and support, such as delivering inclusive sermons, inviting LGBTQIA+ guest speakers, organizing community outreach events, and offering education and resources on LGBTQIA+ issues.” [1]
“We’re excited to launch the second year of Affirming Sunday and continue expanding a network of affirming and inclusive Christian communities nationwide,” said Adam Evers, Co-Founder and Executive Director of NuFoundation. “Last year’s event had a clear positive impact, and we hope to see even more churches participate this year, showing their commitment to promoting inclusion, affirmation, and acceptance for LGBTQIA+ individuals.” [1]
“Churches and church leaders can participate in Affirming Sunday by delivering inclusive sermons, inviting LGBTQIA+ guest speakers, organizing community outreach events, and providing education and resources on LGBTQIA+ issues. Social media assets can be downloaded from the Affirming Sunday website, and churches are encouraged to use the hashtag #AffirmingSunday when sharing their support.” [1]
Sunday has evolved into the focal point for all ideologies, social movements, and human traditions. Sunday observance has become the context of every political, social, and religious issue. There is one thing that all anti-biblical movements have in common: they all agree on the importance of Sunday. Sunday is the unifying platform in the coming prophetic landscape during the Mark of the Beast crisis.
Not only has the LGBT+ movement embraced Sunday, so have the labor unions [2], the Earth Day celebrations [3], civil governments [4], politicians [5], and even secular businesses [6]. Of course, we know Rome is the driving force behind the Sunday rest movement. [7] We are being told that incorporating Sunday rest will save our society. Sunday is the answer to all our problems. This appears to be the strategy because everyone is involved.
Our world is changing, and Sunday is gradually becoming the universal day of rest preferred by the majority of people. It is the day that Pope Francis, the Christian world, trade unions, secular governments, and now even the LGBT+ movement have designated. Soon, it will be imposed by law. Soon we will be forced to rest on Sunday. But there is a problem. The Bible tells us to:
“Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” (Revelation 14:7).
This is a call to embrace God as the Creator. It is a call to worship and honor the One who created heaven and earth. It is a call to embrace the seventh-day Sabbath, a monument to both the Creator and creation. If we are to speak of a day of rest for humanity or creation, we must first acknowledge that all things were created by Christ (Colossians 1:16, 17) and that nothing exists without Him (John 1:1–3). We must also recognize that when we talk about the Sabbath, we’re talking about the rest of God (Genesis 2:1–3). Since God created the Sabbath, only He knows why He created it.
“And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.” Mark 2:27, 28.
Only Jesus can tell us when the Sabbath is, what it is for, and how to observe it. Any statement made by men or any church about which day is the true Sabbath rest or how we honor the Creator is nothing more than a man-made addition to God’s word. Human ordinances, human decrees, and human encyclicals will always be invalid. Only God’s Word should serve as our guide. Nobody can ever be wrong if they cling to the Holy Scriptures and are taught by God.
God will have a people who will keep His commandments, not man’s (Revelation 12:17, 14:12, 22:14). The time is coming, and it is now, when our world will exalt human wisdom (2 Thessalonians 2:4) by exalting the false day of sun worship (Ezekiel 8:16) above the commandment of God that says: “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy” and “the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God” (Exodus 20:8, 10).

When the LGBT movement embraces Sunday, you know it’s all part of the fairytale myth.
The same scriptural foundation exists for accepting the LGBTQ lifestyle as it does for Sunday worship. None!
It’s obvious that these people do not know their Bibles according to their words and actions. Have they read the Lord’s prayer (“Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven…”)? The people in Noah’s day had a right and choice not to follow God’s will and way and suffered the consequences by drowning in the worldwide flood.
Jesus told us that history often repeats itself, didn’t He? Do people understand this? Do they want to? Are there scoffers now like they were in Noah’s day? In this
age of technology why are people so ignorant? Education is expensive but so is stupidity that could cost one eternal life. Let’s use the brain that God gave us. I hope
you agree.
What does the Scripture’s of Truth say that the whole world wondered after the Beast so this is not a surprise for those of God’s People who are awake and understand these things soon we are going to be entering the Time of Jacobs trouble but first we will have to be able to give the pure message from the 1st 2nd, 3rd Angel in Rev.14 and 4th Angel of Rev.18
The irony here is that such a law cannot be recognised by Catholics. Catholicism teaches that the Fourth Commandment, as written in the Decalogue, is shadowy, the substance of which is the transubstantiation Eucharist. To call Sunday the Sabbath is to deny the Catholic doctrine that the Eucharist is the substance version of the Sabbath Commandment. The Sunday Sabbath idea is idolatry even according to Catholicism.
Winston Churchill once described an appeaser as one who feeds his own to a crocodile hoping that it will eat him last.
