Mayor Annise Parker Needs a Bible. Will You Send Her One?
Red State ^ | 15 October 2014 | Erick Erickson

Posted on 10/16/2014 7:31:26 AM PDT by ShadowAce

The mayor of Houston, TX, has subpoenaed the sermons of local pastors and the speeches of local religious leaders to see what they have to say about homosexuality.

I fear Annise Parker has never read the Bible. If she wanted some sermons so bad, she could go to church, but I don’t know that she will. So I think we should help her out. You can get a copy of the NIV version on Amazon.com for $4.05.

Annise Parker’s address is:

Mayor Annise D. Parker

City of Houston

P.O. Box 1562

Houston, TX 77251

I kindly suggest you all send Ms. Parker a Bible. Maybe she might be tempted to read it.

We are getting close to the tipping point.

With 0bama importing Ebola and mayors calling for religious censorship, something is going to snap.

Many Americans will become increasingly desperate as they become incensed by government oppression and exposed to government patented diseases.

The elites cannot defeat a desperate enemy. The elites want a civil war based on race, income, ethnic background, or between police and the public.

If a civil war does erupt, the people must face squarely off against the government bureaucrats and government officials that support the tyranny. We will have to see what side the police will be on.

You wanna know something funny?

I was confused why the city attorney was using subpoena’s to get those sermons.

My church puts every single message on our website. You can go and listen, or watch in some cases, the entire sermon.

I know Grace Community Church has a dynamic webpage, and after about 2 minutes of searching found the “Watch Online” option, which gives you the option to go back and watch and/or listen to the sermons at what appears to be the past year.

Why use the “power of the subpoena”, when they have that information freely available?

Now, the NOTES of those sermons, which is what she was REALLY after, are not available that way.

But the actual sermons? They’re “public domain” now.

What is on the internet, is on the internet FOREVER.

Matthew 7:6 “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.”

kidd “Do not give a Bible to a lesbian liberal with an anti-Chritian agenda, she’ll just throw it out, and it’ll only fill her with a greater resolve.”

I sent one. But I skipped the PO box and sent it to City Hall, as found on google:

City of Houston Mayor
901 Bagby Street
Houston, TX 77002
(713) 837-0311

Who knows, maybe someone in City Hall might open it up and learn something!

Liberals are dictators seeking power and dictators are former liberals who have power.

Yes, we all need the Bible, but people like her will never understand until it is too late. Pray for her and those like her is all we can do.

She needs a copy of The Constitution, a copy of The Declaration of Independence AND a copy of The Bible.

Given that the first two are intended for a self-governing people, they are are useless without a thorough understanding of the third.

That's not what she was after. She doesn't care about the sermons or the notes.

Her objective was power and intimidation. She wanted those pastors to submit to and fear her authority. She wanted them to worry about what they say from the pulpit because of how it might affect the tax-free status of their church.

She wanted to press her fat thumb down and watch those high-n-mighty Bible-thumpers squirm.

She would prefer free birth control...although why...I’m not sure.

Book-sized packages pouring into Houston City Hall?

They’ll have the bomb sniffing dogs & HAZMAT squad all over them, then burn them without opening.

Sorry, I don’t have any money to waste sending something to a carpet eater who will just throw it out.

I hope she pushes this to the max and tries to arrest those that do not comply.

Here is an idea. Take the sermon of a black pastor that condemns homosexuality in no uncertain terms and place the name of a white pastor on the sermon. See if she bites. When she tries to arrest the white pastor, have the new media and the black pastor there to be arrested as the author. The publicity will be great.

I cut right to the chase.

Sent an email to mayor@houstontx.gov and included the passage of Romans 1:26-27 in the message. Asked her if this is what she is afraid of seeing in these sermons. Told her that, if so, her problem is not with the pastors but with the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God which breathed the words to Apostle Paul to write for our edification.

People in Houston believe in the liberal view and always will.

That’s a great suggestion as well.

Send her a bunch of order forms so she can order her own Bible for reference./s

Bet the Gideons would send her one for free for the asking.

Don't give up on the heathens....let your light shine.

Jesus ate with tax collectors.

He showed grace and mercy to a habitual adulterer.

A prostitute bathed his feet with expensive perfume and dried his feet with her hair.

He touched and healed lepers.

Then after all that, he was beaten and whipped and nailed to a cross, for my sins and yours and this woman's also.

I don't agree with the stunt of inundating her with Bible's. What she needs is a loving, Christ like person to come along side her, and show her the true love of the true God.

I won't send her a Bible, but I'll pray that God will lead a person into her life, to show her his real love.

Heavenly Father,
I ask that you will lift up a special person into the life of Annise Parker. Someone you have grown with an exemplary amount of grace and mercy. I ask that you work in Annise's life, that she will see the real you and truly know what and who Jesus is.
I thank you for what you are doing and have done already in her life, and I thank you for the grace you continue to give me.

Amen
