Actually it is all, as well as what "This is one of the most bigoted tweets I have ever seen" expresses. Meaning that the only true religious (which it is) belief, the only absolute necessary religious truth, is that of pluralism, which holds that to assert any other belief as being the exclusive Truth is bigoted.
For "religious freedom in the United States" must mean that no one may claim that their religious belief is the exclusive necessary Truth, except that opposing the principle that Truth is exclusive by nature, and that your belief is that exclusive Truth, is the exclusive religious belief.
It’s a failed comparison. It’s akin to those trying to find hidden codes in Scripture.
America is a serpent led nation where lawlessness and just us reigns..
The bible predicts that for the New Covenant Church.
The Church is serpent led where lawlessness and just us reigns.
It just thinks itself as being a pure Bride..
You don’t have to buy the comparison.
Most probably wouldn’t.
I suspect most don’t see America and the Church tracking the same way.
To each their own..
But if the nation ever transforms back into law and order and justice, note the bible tells a story about a shepherd and priesthood staffs became serpents, then transformed back into proper staffs, as a sign that caused unbelieving enslaved Israel to believe.
The disciples of Mark were called to carry a staff. The disciples in Mathew,Luke and John were not.
Only in Mark.
The Church carries the staff of the Shepherd and the Priest.
Mark also is the only gospel that details an about 2,000 demon possesed swine that a Legion of demons (6,000) entered..
An about 2,000 figure isn’t specific,but it is exactly the number used in the Old Testament to describe cubits of distance Israel was kept from the ark before Passing Over.
About 2,000- used in the Old to describe distance
Used in the New to describe demon possessed swine
Maybe it’s not an accident the Church Age is currently about 2,000 years in distance and doctrine..
That comparison would really not preach in Church..
Feel free to see a failed comparison.
Someone else might see it differently.
It depends on how one feels about Divine Providence and patterns for natural and spiritual prophecy being fulfilled for His Purposes and His Glory
Hate to break it to you again but there is no valid scripture comparison between the US and the church. You want to read something in to scripture I cannot stop you. I will however call out your false premise.
Strange,indeed....
You aren’t breaking anything to me..
The Church is exactly in same position that America is in..
You don’t have to accept that premise..
I’ve accepted it because I see the Church and America as serpent led.
Something the bible predicts would happen to the Church.
Some might accept so goes the Church, so goes America..
And so goes America, so goes the Church..
You are free not to..
It sort of indicts both America and the Church. Maybe even the Church in America..
You and I don’t see things the same...
We probably won’t agree on the state of the Church of America.
I do find it fascinating that the Pope and the installed President have some who think neither are in their rightful places..
That both are imposters of sorts..
But if one reads the OT one will see all the nations fall away towards the end and come up against Israel.
The Church will survive whether America survives or not.
But your comparison of Jesus and the Apostles and the colonies fails....it's eisegesis to the max.
“Moderate Republicans are a problem in Ohio and everywhere”
They are a HUGE problem. Lower tax grooming
is not okay.
Don’t pay attention to the occult sun worship obelisk and pregnant dome buildings in the Vatican and DC..
Two kindred spirits are absolutely not to be connected in any way,shape,manner or form..
When I read the Old Testament and the New Testament, I see an 1,000 year time where Satan is locked away.
And then a time where Satan is let out and a final battle occurs, after the 1,000 years, with Gog and Magog..
And Christ and His 12 is how He began. It was His Design.
Divine Providence directed the US to have that governmental start when it declared Independence..
Did the Founders choose 50 states then?
No.
It just sort of happened.
A young nation that in its relatively short time on earth has become the wealthiest, most powerful nation on earth..
A nation that outsources freedom and liberty of God’s kind and Satan’s kind throughout the world, for better and for worse.
I just see America in a biblical sense, especially a New Testament Church sense..
I wouldn’t expect Mother and daughters to see it the same way.. Judaism and Islam wouldn’t see it that way either.
That’s sort of the point, ultimately.
I’m expecting a different outcome for America because of its founding , not because it doesn’t deserve to fall today..
But then my opinion on the status of the end times Church differs from most,too..
Which, according to Catholicism (and Orthodoxy, and mainline Protestantism), is the Church. Israel is the Church, not any secular nation using the same name.
I'm no fan of Islam, but Islam is actually closer to the truth about Jesus than is Talmudic Judaism.
The Koran says that Jesus is a prophet of God, albeit not as great a prophet as Muhammod.
The Talmud says that Jesus is a blasphemer, the bastard son of a Roman solider and a whore, and is spending eternity in boiling vat of feces.
The muslim Jesus comes back and tells people he lied about some of the things he said, basically that god has no son, he isnt the son of god, that he didn’t die on the cross,...
Both versions are incredibly wrong and horrible versions of Jesus.
But yes, it's still horrible.

OHIO RIGHT TO LIFE STATEMENT ON BOARD MEETING AND DEPARTURE OF COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR LIZZIE MARBACH
COLUMBUS, OH – Last week, Ohio Right to Life parted ways with our communications director, Lizzie Marbach. A discussion about Lizzie moving to a different role had been discussed as outlined in this news article which cites to our internal memorandum.
Last Tuesday, Lizzie posted a message on Twitter proclaiming one of the core tenants of her Christian faith. Her message initially drew public criticism and then an equally public apology for that criticism from Ohio Congressman Max Miller.
Ohio Right to Life affirms the right and ability of every individual, to include all staff, Board members and affiliates, to express their faith in both their personal and professional life.
Today, the Ohio Right to Life board reaffirmed in a unanimous vote, the following Christian Statement of Faith, which Lizzie originally tweeted, is worthy of being advanced by all Christians:
“There’s no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone.” - Lizzie Marbach
In the same unanimous vote, the board noted that it “invites all Ohioans – no matter what their faith – to join us in our work to protect innocent human life.” The board also declared that, “God’s Word will always inform our life-saving work.”
Lizzie, who acknowledged in an interview that her departure was “not due to the exchange with [Congressman] Miller,” was brave in the face of criticism about her faith and we admire her commitment to boldly proclaim that faith. Congressman Miller was correct to apologize for criticizing Lizzie’s statement of faith.
Ohio Right to Life Board Member Emily Miller has never encouraged or asked anyone at Ohio Right to Life to take any personnel action related to Lizzie. After the public disagreement between Lizzie and Congressman Miller, Emily voluntarily recused herself from board deliberations about Lizzie and today’s board meeting.
Ohio Right to Life wishes Lizzie the best of luck in her career and knows that she’ll do great things. ###
