TO MY FELLOW CHRISTIANS: THE FLAG IS AN IDOL!
Flag Or The Cross? ^
Posted on 03/14/2003 8:03:57 PM PST by LalahLand
I am curious to find out why some of my fellow Christians still recite the pledge of allegiance. When you "pledge your allegiance" to an inanimate object you are basically worshipping that object. Am I missing something here? Why do some of us choose to salute and break one of the most important commandments? Shouldn't our pledge of allegiance be to God, and not a piece of cloth? The pledge of allegiance to the flag basically states that we will (blindly) support the flag and the actions of our government without question. That is the very essence of what idolatry is all about! Please check out the attached article.

In case you haven't noticed FreeRepublic is not www.Jehovah Witnesses.com
First thing I thought. Funny thing that a group that thinks pledging allegiance to the flag is bowing before an idol should make such an idol of its theology that it rewrites the Bible (even the Greek NT) to conform to the demands of its idol.

Posting a thread like this here is a little akin to attending a
Rainbow Push Coalition dressed like the above.
