See last two paragraphs. The conservative pastor is fighting for (1st Amendment) constitutional freedoms for his church but does not believe in freedom of religion.

Thanks for the post.
I think we’re about to taste real persecution as the True Church - anybody who follows and puts their faith in Christ alone.

The writing has been on the wall for awhile now.

His focus is correct.

He was called to preach the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ. Every other religion leads to hell.

As a Christian his first priority is to save souls from Hell, not protect their “rights”.

In the Old Testament, the government of Isreal was formed around the Laws of God, not the rights of man.

Which is more important?

Freedom for me but not for thee! That’s not very original, is it?

I'm not sure how to take your post. Do you think he's correct, or wrong?

'thinkers' like this are one of the reasons I abandoned organized religion decades ago.

Neither do I believe the Founders intended to have Islam as a legitimate religion equivalent to biblical Christianity, when one is a lie and seeks to subjugate all others.

Most of the Founders had degrees in Theology. They could not have anticipated how biblically illiterate we have become.

Thomas Jefferson state in a letter to the Danbury, Conn. Baptists. He said:.......

.... “Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should `make no law respecting an establishment of religion, OR prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

In other words we are free to practice one’s religion or exercise one’s beliefs ‘without intervention’ by the government and to be free of the exercise of authority ‘by a church through the government’.....
