It's not what I believe. It's what you're telling me with deafening silence.
You've never risked everything to start a business, and you've never shouldered the responsibility of other people's livelihoods. You never broke your back and sacrificed years and years of personal comfort, so that one day, your children could be the masters of their own lives and fortunes.
You have no idea what you're suggesting this family do in this situation.
You want them to fold and give up everything they fought and suffered for, to satisfy your personal sense of righteousness. Why not suggest that they double their efforts and fight back even harder? Why is your solution to give up in defeat? Destroying all those jobs, and killing the dreams of their grandchildren will really show the left a thing or two, won't it?
Unreal...
If the judgement is that he has to support abortion, then I hope he will close his business up and make a stand.
Closing his business is not 'making a stand'. That's capitulation. It's surrender to the enemy. The answer is to spit in the devil's eye and dare him to blink.
You have no idea what you are talking about. None- nada. You have no idea what I have or have not done.
Get back on topic. Do I want them to make a bold stand for God. Yes. If they are Christians, they want me to make a bold stand for God. And I will , and I do.
My solution is to not ever support or condone abortion, or to give up my right to make a bold stand for God. I believe it is clearly against the word of God to kill babies.
If these people are serious about abortion being against their faith, then they answer to God. If they answer to God than this world and this business are temporary tools, given to us so that we may point others toward God.
For most Christians God is far bigger than any business or government, and the sacrifice that was made for us, when Jesus died, is far deeper and more painful and huge and risky than closing up a business.
Do I want these Christians to walk boldly in faith. Yes, I do.
You may not have that faith, and your are entitled to your opinions. I am very clear about what my opinions are based upon. The word of God.
Christians are not called to worship God only when it is fun to do, so it is my opinion that I would close up shop. We are called to obey God’s word when it is almost impossible to do. If this man is a Christian, he already knows what I am saying is true.
So the final judgement hasn’t come in and what he does is not yet seen.
Whether he closes up or not- is between him and God.
