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.”

But it is OK for Muslims to say Muhammad is the only way, or Buddhist, or Hindus, or Zoroastrians, or Shinto, or Judaism.
All religions claim to be exclusive. They may all be wrong but they are not all right and they are not different ways to the same thing.
Every religion thinks that they are the only ones who are right.
This guy needs to take it up with the Lord Jesus Christ since we are just repeating what He said.
Yes, Jesus is the One who said it.
We know the world doesn’t like it.
But it is the truth. There is no other Name given among men whereby we will be saved.
These people are far worse than the British we revolted against. Kindness isn’t weakness.
Is there a problem with that???
Amen brother!
Thank you for your testimony to that on this page.
We shouldn’t fear anything man can threaten us with by proclaiming this - we have Eternity because of it.
Max Miller is all wet on the religious freedom issue. No one’s religious freedom was denied by her statement. What she wrote was exercising her religious freedom, and by taking exception to what she said, Miller is exercising his.
I’ll start praying now.
I’m joining you in this prayer FWIW.
🙏
Grilling up the old Jiffy Pop tray as we type...that sad, please go easy on each other, boys!
I see you’re still stalking me.
That’s weird.
That is total baloney and you know it. You only wish. Sure you're not a Dem? They're good at crafting nontruths.
I hate your manipulation of the Torah and actual JEWISH texts to try and deceive Jews into your beliefs. Your apostles are not part of any Jew’s life, no matter how much you say they are. You and yours have a real problem with facts and the truth.
REVELATION 2:9
KJ21
I know thy works and tribulation and poverty (but thou art rich), and I know the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
I’m deceiving no one. I only follow the Bible,Old Testiment and New. All other texts are man’s useless words. Only the WORD of GOD stands forever.
Are you stalking MurphsLaw?
Is that weird?
I posted to Roman War Criminal’s thread.
Your Jiffy Pop is burning, get back to that.
