What is your Church's position on the Obama mandate about contraception and abortion?

Is your pastor speaking out about it?

Which one of your church leaders is saying that the President is trampling on religious freedom?

Has any of your church leaders agreed to stand with the Catholic church in defense of life and religious freedom?

If you mean the assembly which I fellowship with/in, I believe we hold no "official" position. It is not necessary because each of us know that the Government has overreached its position on a thousand matters and this is no different.

"Is your pastor speaking out about it?

Please tell me where you find in Scripture that an elder is to "speak out against the Government" in some kind of official pronouncement?

"Which one of your church leaders is saying that the President is trampling on religious freedom?"

All of them, last time we spoke.

"Has any of your church leaders agreed to stand with the Catholic church in defense of life and religious freedom?"

We stand on the Scriptures, a thing that the Roman Catholic Church does not. It stands upon its own authority to deliver, interpret, and enforce Scripture the way it decides to. No, we would not stand with the Catholic Church until the Catholic Church acknowledges that it has been mangling the Gospel of Grace for 1500 years.

Our unwillingness to stand with the RCC does not mean we do not similarly believe the government should cease from mandating funding to kill children, or elevating homosexuality, or revering Islam. But, then none of the folks I fellowship with voted for this fellow. Why did so many Catholics (your brothers and sisters)? Perhaps you are asking the wrong folks why they did what they did. They are now reaping what they sowed.
