Tuesday night, a contentious debate over religious freedom broke out on Twitter between a Republican congressman and a former Trump campaign staffer. To make matters even more interesting, a Democratic congresswoman joined the fray, offering a strong defense of America’s First Freedom. Although the congressman eventually apologized for his comments, the debate shed light on how the nature of religious freedom can be misunderstood.
It all started when Lizzie Marbach, the director of Communications for Ohio Right to Life and a former Trump campaign official, tweeted the following via her personal Twitter account: “There’s no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone.” Thirty minutes later, Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) responded to Marbach, writing, “God says the Jewish people are the chosen ones, but yet you say we have no hope. Thanks for your pearl of wisdom today.” Miller went on to retweet Marbach’s original post, adding, “This is one of the most bigoted tweets I have ever seen. Delete it, Lizzie. Religious freedom in the United States applies to every religion. You have gone too far.”
Marbach responded to Miller, explaining, “Sorry, Congressman, but these are the words of Jesus himself.” After quoting John 14:6, Marbach paraphrased Philippians 2:10-11 stating, “No one has hope outside of Jesus Christ and every knee will bow one day declaring that Jesus Christ is Lord.” Marbach then wrote, “Even when a sitting Congressman tries to get us to deny the truth of the gospel, we can’t. We must obey God rather than man.” She quoted Romans 1:16, in which Paul says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”

Sorry, Congressman, YESHUA is the King of America, that is the way it is.
And that is very true!
Amen 🙏🏻!
MANY Jews are coming to YESHUA Everyday. PTL! Romans 11: 15!
Wonder if Miller has a problem with the Muslims and their only way.
I had to stop and read it again - Ilhan Omar stood up for Christian freedom religion and expression?
Just damn!
I know brother and that is wonderful news to hear.
To know that His Children, His Nation are waking up and realizing their Messiah has come!
Amazing times we’re living in - Praise Yeshua!
That is a very good point and thank you for pointing that out.
Omar might be an “enemy” so to speak politically, but we are to love and pray for our enemies. Not many Christians do this.
Can you imagine what might happen if 100,000 Christians prayed for Ilhan Omar and God intervened in her life because of this?
Only because she saw it as an opportunity to engage in a little Jew-bashing. Not that he didn't deserve the bashing. So it's all good, by my lights.
Another messyonic LIE. That's all your patter is, a bunch of lies, misquotes, and deliberate omissions. Put it out by the curb, tomorrow is trash day.
God does not break his promises, which makes his promises in the Old Testament to the Jewish people valid for all time. Jesus is the way of salvation in the New testament, valid for both Jews and Gentiles.
They are. Just because YOU do not care to believe Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah is another issue.
Jesus Christ is the only way.
Jesus is the promise of the Old Testament.
This guy sounds like Frankenbishop Robert Barron.
Amen!
Hardly a lie.
I keep reading and hearing about more and more Jews finding their Messiah. This was always the plan.
Isaiah 53 (forbidden by you own conniving Rabbi’s)
Zechariah 12:10
“And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and of pleading, so that they will look at Me whom they pierced; and they will mourn for Him, like one mourning for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.
Hosea 5:15
I will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their distress they will search for Me.
Psalm 2:12
Kiss the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way, For His wrath may be kindled quickly. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
Actually, just read all of Psalm 2. It’s about your Messiah. :)

It is Jesus - Praise Him!
I am praying that you find Truth only in Him.
