My vision for First Century Bible College is to pursue post-denominational Christian unity on the essentials of the faith as they were understood from the Hebrew cultural perspective of the Apostles.

For those matters deemed non-essentials, we will pursue a spirit and standard of charitable tolerance for differences of opinion and provide a perpetual open forum for civil discourse and debate.

We will discourage “tribalism” in which people form teams around a slate of doctrines and treat them as dogma, which is largely our definition of denominationalism.

We will instead promote a model of critical thinking and personal study of the Bible itself, rather than the study of other people’s interpretations of the Bible as is unfortunately the custom of most of the modern seminary systems.

Our vision of Christian unity is thus not uniformity of beliefs in all matters as denominationalism intends, but a diversity of perspectives on non-essentials reflecting the uniqueness of each person and their unique place and purpose in the Creation: yet each growing from the same soil on the same bedrock of truth.

The “essentials of the faith” are to some degree a matter of opinion, but we have settled upon our own conclusions and divided them in two categories: Doctrinal and Behavioral.

Doctrinally, Christians have been grappling with the essentials from the beginning but reached a very broad consensus with the Revised Nicene Creed of 381AD. * We consider that our doctrinal bedrock.

For our faculty we have added a prerequisite of commitment to Biblical inerrancy, and have adopted the “1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy.” **

We have also adopted with slightly less rigidity “The 42 Articles on the Essentials of a Christian Worldview.” ***

Behaviorally, we consider the two great commandments of Jesus to be the bedrock of essential Christianity: “To love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself.” We consider these to be a summarization of the Ten Commandments, whose specificity in turn provides guidelines for extrapolation to all other matters.

As a practical matter in this current age, we expressly require adherence to the “one flesh” paradigm of marriage based male/female heterosexual monogamy and to the patriarchal model of family and church life.

Our Philosophy of Education

The goal of First Century Bible College is for our students to achieve the greatest Biblical literacy of which each is personally capable, and to facilitate the maximum positive impact of that knowledge in the world and in the church.

We believe that each student is uniquely gifted by God to serve the Cause of Christ and that the Holy Spirit will clearly direct the path of education and ministry for those whose minds and hearts attend to Him.

We thus believe the role of First Century Bible College is to facilitate student self-direction and self-determination in the course of study — working to assist the student in discovering God’s will and pursuing it with maximum efficiency and effectiveness.

While we offer pre-set classes and topical certificate programs in a full range of subjects — and encourage students to explore these topics as a means of clarifying their gifts and direction, our concept of Degree Certification is that no two degrees should be identical but that each degree program should be designed by the student him or herself with faculty and administrative assistance as needed.

Even our certificate programs can be designed by students to suit their own goals and interests, because all classes are considered modules that can be strung like pearls on a string in any order, subject to practical limitations such as sequential prerequisites. But as to topical diversity there are no limitations, because any set of topical studies can produce its own final product that can be titled accordingly.

If a student wishes to pursue a course of study for which the college has no current faculty, the college will seek to recruit faculty specially for that student.

Students are allowed to pick their own teachers and advisors from a full menu of faculty and staff whose credentials, topical specialties, and detailed profiles are provided online.

And students are allowed to pursue hands-on activities in the field on their own initiative (such as mission trips), for college credit, subject to documentation.

Our Philosophy of Incoming Faculty Credentials

First Century Bible College does not place great emphasis on prior educational credentials for either students or faculty, but follows the Biblical maxim: “By their fruit you shall know them.”

We recognize that everyone has something to teach and much to learn, and that the letters one may list after one’s name have limited value in determining what those things are, absent a more holistic profile of one’s life experience and accomplishments.

To be faculty, we require only that a documented “Curriculum Vitae” be published on our website for prospective students to review, and agreement with certain legal formalities. First Century Bible College does not require any formal educational credentials if mastery of the topics to be taught is evident from other sources, such as publications or provable life experience.

Of course, all instructors must adhere to the Essentials of the Faith as defined by the college, but to provide students with a wide menu of educational options, we welcome diverse perspectives on non-essentials, within reason, subject to ongoing review and policy refinement by the administration.

Our Philosophy of Outgoing Graduate Credentials

Likewise for students, our certificate and degree programs emphasize documentation of results. Our graduates will be able to offer prospective employers or ministry supporters more than just a framed certificate or diploma, but actual work-product in the fields of study.

We do not want students who see education as nothing more than a hurdle to jump before their career begins. We want students who pursue their career through their studies, and produce measurable fruit from their efforts.

Similar to modern “degree completion programs” in Christian and secular colleges, incoming students can get credit for provable prior experience.

Our Organizational Structure and System

The Internet offers opportunities for education that did not exist in prior generations. Our online platform works as a hub to which both students seeking Bible education and instructors seeking students can come for mutual benefit and enrichment.

What First Century Bible College provides is an administrative system for providing an active Bible-centered online campus, managing educational interactions between students and faculty, collecting and distributing fees, and issuing credentials.

By heavily emphasizing unity on the essentials of the faith, charitable tolerance for diversity on non-essentials, high Biblical literacy, and a fruit-bearing credentialing model, First Century Bible College also serves as system to advance a culture of evangelism, discipleship and good works in Christendom.

From Concept to Reality: To be clear First Century Bible College is not yet operational. This is just the vision I am moving now to implement. I invite you to be a part of this project in whatever way the Holy Spirit directs.

* THE NICENE CREED (381 A.D.)
We believe in one God, the Father, Ruler of all, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten from the Father before all time; Light, from Light, true God from true God; begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father, through Whom all things were made; Who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made a man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried, and rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father.

Every LGBT Flag on a Formerly Christian Church
Celebrates a Demonic Conquest.

Each One Represents:

• An Explicit Repudiation of the Bible.

• A Supremely Arrogant Rejection of the Self-Evident Natural Order of God’s Creation.

• And a Grossly Blasphemous Reinvention of Jesus Christ as a Champion of Sodomy.

Never in the History of the Church has such a Blatantly Heretical Doctrine Achieved Such Astonishing Global Power —
While Being Willfully Ignored by Frightened Church Leaders.

Perhaps you think this isn’t such a big deal “because it’s not a salvation issue.”

But can a person be saved by faith in a false Messiah
who celebrates sins that both God the Father and His Bible condemn?

“When the Son of Man comes (the actual Jesus of the Bible),
will He find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:8

THE FIVE STAGES OF HOMOFASCISM

A Primer on “Gay Supremacy” in America

Comments of Dr. Scott Lively on the 4th Anniversary of Obergefell v Hodges, June 26, 2019, US Supreme Court, Washington DC

I am Dr. Scott Lively and I’m here to explain how the LGBT movement gained legal, cultural and political supremacy over Christianity in America in just 50 years. It advanced through five stages and four supreme court rulings.

The Five Stages of Homofascism are:

1. Tolerance
2. Acceptance
3. Celebration
4. Forced Participation
5. Punishment of Dissenters

The original goal of the LGBT movement in the 1950s was tolerance, what Dale Jennings of the Mattachine Society called “The right to be left alone.”

But exactly 50 years ago in the Stonewall riots, homofascism was born – when the movement set its sights on replacing family-centered society with sexual anarchy. Their detailed agenda was published soon after as “The 1972 Gay Rights Platform,” and they launched a united national campaign for “sexual freedom” to be recognized as a constitutional right.

In response, the pro-family movement arose during the Reagan administration in the 1980s to defend marriage and the natural family. In 1986, Justice Byron White (appointed by JFK) dealt a death blow to the LGBT “sexual freedom” strategy in the majority opinion of Bowers v Hardwick, expressly recognizing the right of states to regulate all sexual conduct in the public interest, but specifically homosexual sodomy.

Undeterred, the “gays” launched a new strategy in the late 1980s to characterize so-called “sexual orientation” as an immutable condition and to classify themselves as a civil rights minority. They made the “born that way” argument the centerpiece of their propaganda narrative, and then hijacked the Black civil rights movement to implement their political agenda, essentially stealing Jesse Jackson’s “Rainbow-Push Coalition” for themselves and adopting the rainbow flag as their banner.

All across America LGBT activists then used their growing power in the Democrat party to create “Human Rights Commissions” at the local and state level which in turn pushed for the passage of anti-discrimination laws in which sexual orientation was bundled together with established civil rights minority classes. Wherever resistance to normalizing homosexuality was strong, they followed a two step process, adding sexual orientation later, usually after a media campaign focusing on “hate crimes” reporting (most of which was unverified and almost certainly fraudulent). In all cases the Human Rights Commission tactic was driven by the “gays,” though rarely openly.

In response, the Oregon Citizens Alliance (of which I was Communications Director) pioneered the No Special Rights Act in 1992 to prohibit sexual orientation from being included in anti-discrimination laws. A version of our No Special Rights Act passed in Colorado as Amendment 2, becoming the basis for the supreme court case Romer v Evans in 1996.

Romer was the first of four major cases by which swing voter Justice Anthony Kennedy (the worst enemy of the family in the history of the court) established “Gay Supremacy” in America.

Our pro-family movement had essentially won the culture war with Amendment 2, because the well established test for identifying a “suspect class” (civil rights minority) in constitutional law included two elements that the “gays” could not meet: political powerlessness and an immutable condition like skin color.

But Kennedy simply disregarded the law, saying that Amendment 2 was not a valid exercise of state power because in his opinion it was motivated by “animus” (hatred) – in one stroke both voiding Amendment 2 while simultaneously coaching the political left to cry “Hate” at any conservative policy they wanted to invalidate in the future.

Kennedy followed up on Romer with Lawrence v Texas (2003) in which he used the pretext of striking down Texas’ virtually unenforced sodomy laws to repeal Bowers v Hardwick. (Reportedly Lawrence and his sodomy partner staged the scene to ensure his arrest to create legal standing to sue the state.)

Killing Bowers was a necessary prerequisite to legalizing “gay marriage” which happened the following year in Massachusetts, thanks to the full and immediate acquiescence of fake conservative then-governor Mitt Romney.

In response to the inevitable wave of “gay marriage” laws that followed in liberal states, the pro-family movement created the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which quickly became law in 35 states and the federal government.

The supposed Catholic Kennedy again thwarted us in his ruling in US v Winsor, striking down the federal DOMA. Two years later he finished the job by creating a supposed constitutional right to “gay marriage” in Obergefell v Hodges by judicial fiat: icing the LGBT cake with a declaration in the ruling that homosexuality must now be accepted as “immutable.”

Having fulfilled his globalist mission to establish “Gay Supremacy” in America, Kennedy recently retired from the court after (I strongly suspect) assuring that his legacy would be preserved by the nomination of his former clerk Brett Kavanaugh to fill his vacancy. I sincerely hope I am wrong about Kavanaugh and will apologize profusely if in future cases he shows integrity in helping to reverse Kennedy’s errors.

So here we stand in 2019, four years after Obergefell and the LGBTs instant pivot to “transgenderism” (and pedophilia), watching small children being deliberately infected with hypersexual transgender insanity to the applause of the entire leftist bloc, and Congress seriously debating the so called Equality Act to criminalize Christianity in America.

Throughout this decades-long process America has been pushed inexorably by the leftist elites through the five stages of homofascism until today celebration of all things LGBT is the norm, forced participation in “gay” culture is increasing rapidly, and punishment of dissenters is a virtual mandate of social justice in the minds of the Millennials. God help us!

Can this process be reversed? I believe it can, but only if conservatives, including our presumed five member majority on the supreme court remember what it is that conservatism exists to conserve: the God-fearing, family centered, constitutional republic our founders fought a bloody revolution to secure for us.

Historically, the Christian Church Considers Pride the Most Dangerous of the “Seven Deadly Sins,” Listed as the Worst of the Seven in in Dante’s Inferno.

But More Importantly, it is the Sin Most Closely Associated with Satan in the Bible (Isaiah 14:12-14). Indeed, Pride Tops the List of the Seven Things that the Bible says God Literally Hates (Proverbs 6:16-19).

Equally disturbing, their arrogant misappropriation of God’s rainbow has closely identified it with the LGBT movement as well.

In Genesis 9:13, God created the rainbow to serve as a sign of His covenant never again to destroy the earth by flood: “Behold I set my bow in the sky.” He had brought the flood as punishment for extreme rebellion against Him, the form of which is identified in the Jewish Talmud as homosexual and bestial marriage ( Genesis Rabbah 26:5:4), a fact that Jesus also obliquely asserts in Matthew 24:37-38 (referencing the corruption of marriage implied by Genesis 6:5). God then incinerated Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis 19 to warn that the next time mankind rebelled to the same extreme as Noah’s generation, destruction would come by fire ( Jude 1:7, 2 Peter 3:7).

Hijacking God’s Rainbow to associate it with the same sexual conduct that He severely condemns in both the Old and New Testaments is not a minor spiritual crime. In Ezekiel 1:28 and Revelation 4:3, the Rainbow is identified as the specific symbol of God’s presence and authority. Thus, the act of cloaking “Gay Pride” in God’s Rainbow is an attempt to diminish and overrule Him: the very crime for which Satan was cast down from heaven ( Isaiah 14:12-14).

But sadly, many Christian individuals and congregations have rejected the teachings of the Bible and taken sides with “pride,” a phenomenon with grave spiritual implications.

President Trump has put his conservative base in a terrible situation by allowing openly homosexual US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell to lead a campaign to “legalize homosexuality” around the world. This gut-punch of a news story is being spun as a response to Iran’s recent execution of a homosexual man. While I believe I speak for most conservatives in saying I do not condone that execution, or capital punishment for any sexual crimes anywhere, I believe the Iran incident is simply a pretext for perpetuating the “All-In” Obama doctrine on LGBT issues by the US State Department, and I think President Trump has been persuaded to cooperate on the false argument that doing so will mitigate leftist hatred of his administration here at home.

I have some bad news for President Trump: LGBTs and their surrogates in media, academia and government are IMPLACABLE. He will get no credit from the left, but will instead empower a small army of Trojan Horse “conservatives” among his base who are really progressive change-agents in disguise.

Reasonable tolerance and sympathy for people who suffer from same sex attraction disorder is warranted – as is protecting them from violence – but sanitizing homosexuality and transgenderism as if they were morally, psychologically and behaviorally equivalent to sexual and gender normalcy is PC-driven lunacy. Indeed, that ideology is a central cause of the mental illness called progressivism. We must not allow that sophistry to overwhelm objective, self-evident, foundational truths in our conservative ranks or we will become as confused and irrational as the left. It is already spreading like a cancer.

True conservatives are in a real bind, here. If we oppose the Grenell gambit, that fact will be spun by his leftist media allies as support for violence against homosexuals. But if we capitulate to the idea that sexual deviance is a universal human right alongside true family values, what are conservatives actually working to “conserve?” How can we Make America Great Again if we openly embrace the corrosive LGBT sexual anarchy agenda that has been so instrumental in her collapse?

If I had President Trump’s ear, I would offer the following advice:

First, neutralize Richard Grenell on all LGBT issues and remove him as the leader of this campaign. Let Grenell focus on issues unrelated to his personal dysfunction and bring in a true conservative with no personal stake in LGBT issues. Show the world that you don’t have to be a homosexual or support the LGBT agenda to oppose violence against homosexuals and that the goal of opposing violence stands completely apart from the idea of normalizing alternative sexual lifestyles.

Second, very publicly, change the focus of the campaign from “decriminalizing homosexuality” to ending violence against homosexuals. At the same time, affirm that regulating sexual conduct in the interest of public health and morality is a valid exercise of government. Remind the world that from her founding until very recently America had always done so (see Bowers v Hardwick) until LGBT-champion Justice Anthony Kennedy sabotaged us with four Supreme Court majority opinions imposing LGBT cultural supremacy upon us: Romer v Evans (ruling that opposing homosexuality equals hate), Lawrence v Texas (legalizing sodomy and striking down Bowers), United States v Windsor (killing the federal Defense of Marriage Act), and Obergefell v Hodges (inventing a constitutional right to “gay marriage”).

Third and finally, announce a new campaign to restore the marriage-based natural family to primacy around the world, pointing out that civilization is strongest and healthiest when its marriages and families are intact. Affirm America’s tradition of tolerance for those who choose not to adhere to the values of the family-centered mainstream, but proclaim a new era in which the life, health and innocence of children (born and unborn), and the cohesion of families will have priority in public policy. Speak forcefully against poisonous efforts to purge words like Mom and Dad from our language. Defend the right of young people to pursue therapy to reorient their “sexual orientation” to conform to the design of their bodies. Aggressively prosecute those who defile and mutilate children to advance non-binary “transgenderism” fantasies.

I have long stated that I believe Donald Trump is God’s man in the White House, and I still believe that because I assume he does not yet have full control of the State Department (the deepest part of the deep state). Yet, the president should remember that God’s hand of favor has many times been withdrawn from His chosen men when they departed from His agenda. For God’s sake, and the sake of the critical MAGA vision for America, I pray that President Trump will defy the principalities and powers at work behind the Grenell campaign and quickly correct this serious error.

Pro-Family Movement Roars Back to Life!

National Gone2Far Movement Has Launched!

Hugely Successful Kick-Off at National Press Club in Washington DC on February 5th, 2019

Watch these clips from the presser:

Dr. Lively was the 5th presenter in the conference, discussing the Gone2Far movement itself — the name and theme of which was his primary contribution to the coalition.

Dr. Randy Short, above, and Pastor Stephen Broder, below, initiated the coalition that has adopted the Gone2Far name and them. They led the first segment of the press conference calling for the resignation of the Congressional Black Caucus for its support of HB 2282, the LGBT “Equality Act.”

Pastors Paul Blair and Dan Fisher (above) of Reclaiming America for Christ (based at Fairview Baptist Church in Oklahoma) drafted the Proclamation for Morality, while Dan and Stephen Black (below — of the First Stone Ministry — an ex-“gay” ministry) presented that in the second segment. (Paul was unable to attend due to treatment for aggressive throat cancer — please pray for him).

Dr. Lively and Peter LaBarbara (above) of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality presented the third segment about the Gone2Far movement itself.

Brian Camenker of MassResistance (who arranged for the conference to be filmed and edited by a professional videographer) offered a short postscript to represent the Torah-faithful Jewish community in the Gone2Far coalition.

Pastor Broden , who “quarterbacked” the press conference, offers concluding comments.

Now it is time to spread the news that America’s grass-roots pro-family movement is back and working to rally this nation’s pro-family silent majority to push back against the LGBT agenda and especially HB 2282, the so-called “Equality Act” to add “sexual orientation” to the 1964 Civil Rights Act — legally equating sodomy with skin color and criminalizing Bible-based Christianity.

Please forward this post to your pro-family lists.

Press Release:

Equality Act H.R.2282 Threatens Religious Liberty and Free Speech

Contact: Pastor Stephen Broden, 214-394-0098, FPBF@icloud.com; www.gone2far.org

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28, 2019 /Christian Newswire/ — Scores of religious leaders, pastors, pro-life/pro-family activist, and academics have founded the Gone Too Far Movement (GTFM) and have united to challenge the attempt to hijack America’s Civil Rights laws with the pending Equality Act H.R. 2282 in Congress. Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) is the House sponsor of H.R. 2282. To date, he has 201 co-sponsors including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), Black Caucus Chair Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), and Black Caucus Dean John Lewis (D-GA).

Press Conference Details:

The Gone Too Far press conference will be held on:

Tuesday, February 5, 2019,

12 noon Eastern Standard Time

National Press Club

529 14th Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20045

The conference is open to the members of the press and the public.

Cell: 202-710-4294

The GTFM recognizes that the Equality Act H.R. 2282 is a dangerous, irresponsible, outlandish, morally perverse, and socially deleterious legislation. The Equality Act poses a direct threat to religious freedom and the dignity of Blacks and women by blending the immutability of sex and race with radical-LGBTQ theories, and H.R. 2282 aims to amend 59 existing federal laws and regulations. GTFM believes that H.R. 2282 if passed, will create a dangerous legal precedent creating social chaos and legal loopholes permitting reverse discrimination, and it has the potential to establish legal protections for previously illegal sexual practices and conduct. The GTFM will issue a Proclamation of Faith opposed to the Equality Act and call for the Congressional Black Caucus to resign. The Gone Too Far Movement is bi-partisan, interracial, interfaith, and a nationwide collection of Americans who want to protect and preserve faith, family, freedom, traditional values, and to counter the movement to legalize pedophilia.

Information on Gone2Far Press Conference, The Proclamation for Morality and the God’s Voice Conference

Issues:

1.       Speaker Pelosi has announced plans to pass the Equality Act.  This would add LGBTQ+ as a protected class to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.  The Bible and orthodox Christianity identify homosexual behavior as a sinful act.  If the US Government declares LGBT as a protected minority, then Christianity would effectively be criminalized and the First Amendment Void. 

2.       July 2018, the REVOICE Conference was held in St Louis supported prominently by the SBC and the PCA.  The purpose of this event was the change how Christianity approached homosexuality.  Rather than calling homosexuality a sin, it will now be treated as a “sexual minority” within the church calling on the church to help this minority flourish. 

Responses:

1.       On February 5, 2019, black and white ministers will stand together in unity behind Biblical Truth.  There is no black truth and white truth, male truth and female truth.  There is simply truth.  Truth is true for all people in all times in all places.  Jesus is truth.  God’s Word is truth.  We will host a press conference at the National Press Club, for the following purposes:

a.       Dr. Randy Short and Pastor Stephen Broden will call upon members of the Black Caucus to resign for failing to uphold the moral clarity of the Civil Rights effort.  Skin color is genetic, immutable and unchangeable.  Homosexuality is a perverse behavior.  To confuse the two is a gross dereliction of duty. 

b.       Stephen Black, Paul Blair and Dan Fisher will defend the Christian’s Constitutional right and Biblical Responsibility to counsel a person with Same Sex Attraction Biblically.  We will also call for Americans to sign our “Proclamation for Morality” – a bold restatement of common sense, history and facts into our postmodern world.  (www.gone2far.com)

c.       Peter LaBarbera and Scott Lively will present evidence of the homosexual agenda continuing to push in the recruitment and indoctrination of children though Transvestite Reading Hours at Public Libraries, effort to change and eliminate the age of consent for sex with minors and recruiting young drag queens to dance in LGBT clubs.  The LGBTQ+ movement has Gone Too Far. 

2.       We will be calling on Congress to reject the Pedophilia Protection Act (otherwise known as the Equality Act) and call upon Federal, state and municipal governments to reject passing laws which prohibit pastors and Christian Counselors for assisting young people who wish to resist same sex attraction. 

3.       Fairview Baptist Church will host the “GodsVoice Conference” on February 22 & 23 in Edmond, Oklahoma.   An orthodox, Biblical response to the heretical Revoice Conference will be held for a live audience and livestream.  (www.godsvoice.us)

Some of you will remember that way back in the early 90s I was the Communications Director for Oregon Citizens Alliance and spokesman for Ballot Measure 9, the “No Special Rights Act” of 1992, which was designed to prevent the hard left from gaining civil rights minority status for so-called “sexual orientation.” A version of our bill passed in Colorado that year, and became the basis for the Supreme Court case, Romer v Evans, in which LGBT-apologist Justice Anthony Kennedy taught the left that alleging “hatred” as the motive of legislators could nullify an otherwise slam-dunk political and legal win (launching the now ubiquitous movement-wide “progressive” strategy of labeling all conservative speech and policy objectives “hate-based” : yes, we have Kennedy to thank for that!)

The Oregon version of the No Special Rights Act narrowly failed — in significant part due to LGBT activist and master-fundraiser Terrace Bean, who went on to co-found the world’s largest homosexual lobbying organization Human Rights Campaign (HRC), and more recently shined as one of Barack Obama’s most-loved financial “mega-bundlers,” earning Bean sleep-overs at the Obama White House and rides on Air Force One.

Mr. Bean was indicted back in 2014 or 15 for allegedly gang-raping (along with his boyfriend) a teenage boy in Eugene, Oregon (coincidentally one of the nation’s oldest and most fruitful breeding-grounds for ultra-far-left Antifa fascism). Yet, Bean was able to buy his way out of trouble by publicly offering a $220,000 cash settlement to the victim, who subsequently disappeared, depriving the prosecutor of his most essential witness. The court then, in an unprecedented ruling given the seriousness of the case, dismissed the indictment. (A civil payoff to void a criminal charge is legal in Lane County, but previously unheard of for serious crimes — such is the power of political correctness to bend rules to the breaking point whenever homosexuals are involved in any public matter).

I wrote about Bean’s store-bought travesty of justice at the time and then forgot about it.

Then just a few days ago, another same-sex attracted Democrat mega-donor, Hillary Clinton pal Ed Buck, made the news when a (second) black “sex worker” met his death by drug-overdose in Buck’s infamous den of depravity. I was not the only one to remember Terry Bean in relation to this story and weigh in about it in the comments section of a couple of news sites.

Suddenly, Mr. Bean is back in the news, having been re-indicted on the original charge of raping a teen boy. Ironically, Bean’s lawyer appears to have been as morally-challenged as Bean himself, though tending toward greed rather than lust. Seems she allegedly pocketed the $220,000 payoff due to the boy, and, in consequence, he recently resurfaced and re-connected with the Lane County District Attorney. Perhaps he was reminded of Bean by Mr. Buck’s re-emergence into the media spotlight or perhaps it was the newly emerging scandal about Bean’s lawyer, but fortunately for the boy and the public, the earlier dismissal of Bean’s cased was made “without prejudice” allowing the same charges to be re-filed. The slippery Terry Bean is now back on the hook.

So, we’ll file this one under “divine justice” and hope that this is the first of many examples from the DNC and its Sodom division — both of which richly deserve public exposure of the many illicit victories they have achieved through cheating, patronage, and abuses of power.
