Absolutely!
I would say that the culture war that has been seething just under the surface for decades is not fully exposed and active.
God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. It does not surprise me at all that he would use someone as flawed as Kim Davis to confound a nation that has lost its mind!!
not=now......darnit...
‘Christians should not expect that she can engage in civil disobedience without punishment. ‘
Just so. But governments really do fear civil disobedience unless they are ISIS. If enough citizens won’t do as they are told the state’s grip on control begins to slip. This is something those who consider themselves on the right will I believe, have to grapple with in the near future. Our country and culture is being stolen and destroyed before our eyes. How do we stop this abomination?
Flawed...???
I guess you can say that since we are ALL far from perfect.
But I would just assume that truth.
I view her big mistake as running for office as a democrat, lol but you know how that issue is in states...
This abomination has been ingrained in two generations now of our children by public school and college leftwing advocates.
I don't know that we can stop it....
But we can sure as heck fight against it for as long as it takes.
This is going to be an ongoing news event for the foreseeable future, imo. The basis for
the SCOTUS ruling lies not in state/federal law but in rights they percieve coming from
the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Note the following decision recently issued
which is the basis for this confrontation.

The argument is correct in that Kim Davis broke no law as such. But rather she was ruled
against under the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Or that is my understanding.
June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case of Obergefell v. Hodges,
576 U.S. (2015), holding in a 54 decision that the fundamental right to marry is
guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
I agree. But how does one go about fighting the pervasive. It is like attacking a heap of jello.
If you apply a great deal of heat to politicians you get the same results.
The author spouts much BS.
I thought Davis turned to religion after she remarried her current husband and not before. Because if she converted before she remarried him then she should know that the marriage does not meet the Biblical definition of marriage and that she is committing adultery.
Our young skulls full of mush take to it like a duck to water, but there is a way to shift the programming to the Libertarian view. You cannot (without the aid of Christianity) shift someone's political view to Conservative in one step, so my thinking is that the reason the "Paul's", appeal to the younger crowd is that they present a logical option politically to them.
I think that every time this leftist government is exposed for damaging or taking away another personal "right" they lose a few of the young to the Paul's. Ron and Rand.
We can then offer them a more complicated conservative view and they can make the transition.
That's really all we have...unfortunately.
There is that, and there is perhaps another civil war, IMO.
It would be more logical to have begun the conversion after the marriage failure as opposed to just because her spouse was a Christian..
It would then be easy to explain her leap into the Apostolic church as a result of her spouse.
She remarried Davis her 2nd husband in 2009 for her fourth marriage.
She got religion in 2011.
Perhaps, rather than “getting religion,” she truly met Jesus Christ on a personal basis. There is a tremendous difference, and until on truly experiences an encounter with the Living Christ, they will never understand the difference nor the experience
getting religion,

I truly understand and didn’t mean anything negative about it. I was raised in a pentecostal
enviorment from both sides of my family history.
The destruction of the meaning of the word, “equal”, is where the Marxist destruction of Words, exists which erases our Constitutional “Natural Rights and Duties” (which is unconstitutional).
Human Beings are equal under the Law-—but to pretend women and males are “the same” is radical egalitarianism (Marxism) which throws out Science and Truth/God and Natural Law, and is irrational and antithetical to the meaning of all the Words in our Constitution.
All Just Law is reasoned and promotes “public virtue” and Truth, only (never vice and an irrational, vile evil use of the body which is degrading, dehumanizing and removes dignity and meaning and Natural Rights of babies-—to buy and sell them. There is no Natural Right to sodomize others-—or destroy true marriage which sets up a system where people perform their Natural Duty which is paramount in our Constitution.
The basis of our Constitution is Natural Law (God’s Laws) which acknowledges the Natural instincts and roles of males and females which create the most flourishing, system for raising their own biological offspring (the Natural Duty of all people) and all children have the Natural Right to be raised by a system which connects them to the past and the future which is the only humanizing element-—having a mother and father—true role models who can create Individualism in children and not “group think” institutional artificial systems which only confers “group think” and dehumanization.
5-4 decisions are what we seems to be stuck with. Maybe at some point in the future
that will change. But with societial changes I wonder what that future will hold.
Throwing Christians in jail for their beliefs
was the whole point of legalizing Gay Mirage.
