I don't know the circumstances of this event .. but when going on the front lines of the enemy (the devil) .. you better be absolutely, positively sure that GOD has told you to do that .. and preferably it's with your Pastor's consent and participation.
People mean well .. and I know people believe this gay event was the perfect opportunity to minister .. but spending 47 years in jail is not a solution GOD would plan. Instead of GOD being lifted up .. Christianity is being pushed down. Not a GOD-plan.
I attended a Missionary church in OK. They basically trained people to go out to the mission field. GOD will keep you safe as long as you do things GOD's way. My Pastor said they would warn people .. and then end up finding out the missionarys were killed - because they wouldn't listen to the training.
I'm shocked that the city's Pastors and church leaders are not raising hell over the charges against these people.
"CyberAnt"{"group were charged with three felony (criminal conspiracy, ethnic intimidation, and riot) and five misdemeanor charges. -What did they do.?
I agree that God should most definitely be consulted and obeyed in all things, but He has planned for people to be in jail before. Peter and Paul come to mind, as well as believers all over the world who are persecuted via prison terms for trumped-up charges. Unless these people were disobeying God, their present difficulties may very well be for some purpose that will ultimately glorify God. We don't know the pattern for their part of His tapestry. Prayers are definitely in order.
Sometimes God's way is to have people go to prison or die for their faith. Remember Paul and the Christian martyrs of the early church.
This certainly has nothing to do with GOD. It has to do with the Constitution. Let's see how many Dumocrat, anti-God protesters are arrested at the Bush Inaguration. Any guesses? I'll start with 0 (zero)
