I stand with Kim Davis! I will not comply!
Free Republic is and always will remain a pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-liberty site.
The recent SCOTUS ruling against marriage is a travesty against God, country and constitution. It is a shot against Christianity. The government has now officially declared war on Christianity and against individual Christians. Kim Davis is the first casualty who was actually jailed, but will not be the last. The Marxist/fascists have now taken over our government from the top down and will attempt to stomp out all resistance and the black-robed nazi judges will do their bidding. Any Christian speaking out against homosexualism will be targeted for the re-education camps (they're actually doing this already in the military). Christianity is now a hate group and the bible a hate book. Thou shalt not quote from the holy bible.
Your church and your pastor will be next. And then you.
America is and always has been a Judeo-Christian nation. Our nation was founded on the great truth that our unalienable rights are bestowed upon us by God our Creator and cannot be lawfully removed by a godless socialist/fascist government gone awry. We will not comply with this obviously unconstitutional ruling that flies in the face of the first amendment and the very principles our nation was founded on. If we fail to successfully resist, then the great Marxist/fascist coup will have succeeded and America will no longer exist as a free nation.
This is a war for God, family, country and we cannot afford to lose.
And this is only the opening salvo. We are about to experience the greatest tyranny since the communists took Russia and the nazis took Germany. It didn't work then and it won't work now. The same God that gave us life, gave us liberty and as much as they want to try, government cannot stomp out God or liberty. God lives on in our our hearts and man will always yearn to live free.
As long as God gives us breath, we will fight to defend our God, our Constitution and our Liberty.
As the man said, give me liberty or give me death!
As far as I am concerned the 2015 gay marriage ruling completes a rewrite of our Constitution. The First Amendment says and used to mean, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press….” In contrast the ruling on gay marriage helps illustrates how far the country has departed from first principles.
We are familiar with the term “speech or expression’, which seems an innocuous expansion of the above amendment. However, “expression” enables a nearly unbounded multi-billion dollar pornography industry.
Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion stated, “The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to advocate and teach the principles that are so fulfilling and central to their lives and faith”. Such language severely restricts religious freedom by happening to exclude “free exercise thereof”. Therefore, believers pursue a hazardous course to exercise religious beliefs in business and personal lives.
Now we have country in which a woman can express herself in the adult film industry, but cannot start a bakery and exercise her religious convictions by refusing to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple.
I agree. It’s time to start prosecuting the perps behind the sanctuary cities stat.
Amen. As long as this country is God-fearing, it will be saved, in spite of what “government” will do. We must unite in Christian Tides, and defeat the Enemy, as Satan wants this country as his own. We. Will. Not. Comply. Ever.
Take the fight to the Enemy!
The evil marxists have declared war on Christians.
They must by necessity be vanquished.
Rendered incapable of reengaging.
Agree 100% and I will never bow down to homo-fascists. I could care less if Anthony Kennedy ruled sodomite “marriage” was legal. Marriage is the union of a man and woman and I will never use the term “traditional marriage” because that implies there’s some other type of marriage. You have marriage and you have fake marriage. Just as Lincoln refused to enforce the Dred Scott decision if a republican is elected president he should refuse to recognize any type of marriage that is not the union of one man and one woman.
God Bless those who stand up against government tyranny!
I'm not sure what your point is here.
Might try actually looking it up. From the Master’s mouth. BLESS your enemies.
You mean "Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath." That doesn't mean choosing to support planned parenthood or HRC.org by buying from companies that support them.
The problem is the negativity. It actually makes you littler than the problem.
How so, by not choosing to support planned parenthood or HRC.org?
Instead of sillily offering God our private ideas of a “war for Him” how about asking God what His own war happens to be?
God gave you His guidelines. A friend of the world is an enemy of God. Shake the dust from your feet. Be in the world, but not of it.
Amen!!
New tagline too!
Well said, Jim! As a pastor who endeavors to speak and write and act according to the word of God, I will not stop or change or be intimidated and cowed into silence by the Big Left. "We must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). The unconstitutional SCOTUS decision (Obergefell v. Hodges) violates both the First and the Tenth Amendments. And for a federal judge to jail this elected county clerk, who was simply following the law of Kentucky, which prohibits same-sex marriage--this is TYRANNY and an outrage!
Good idea!
I don’t know where you get that gloss. Can you clarify?
If you policed everyone’s sin to the utmost and shut your heart, then you would end up the belittled one.
This was what was seconded. What you responded to was not even the post.
And what’s this silliness about “guidelines.” The Holy Spirit vastly outclasses that. Men knew from Moses on that they could not keep the Law. Moses told them so.
Woops, #20 not #19. Pardonnez-moi.
Which part? And of course we should love our enemies and pray for them, but that doesn’t mean supporting them in committing their sins.
Well, I have it on good authority that we Lutherans who trust in Christ our Savior are headed straight for eternal life! So there! :-)
The gloss about not cursing under the breath.
Here, you look it up, I am not going to belittle you by forcing a quote down your throat.
Unless that enemy was 100% dedicated to nothing BUT, say, supporting PP’s baby-killing business, there is always a choice for him for what to do. Maybe some of this will take care of a sick child. Maybe some of this will rescue an unborn child.
Think beyond the penalistic box for a change.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
I had to pick some denomination to pick on, and my apologies for anything other than rhetorical meaning. It’s not like I hate Lutherans. The first church I went to was Lutheran.
