EXCLUSIVE: Kentucky Clerk: I Am Prepared to Go to Jail
Townhall ^ | 09/03/2015 | Todd Starnes

Kim Davis could become the first Christian in America jailed as a result of the Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage.

“I’ve weighed the cost and I’m prepared to go to jail, I sure am,” Mrs. Davis told me in an exclusive interview. “This has never been a gay or lesbian issue for me. This is about upholding the word of God.”

“This is a heaven or hell issue for me and for every other Christian that believes,” she said. “This is a fight worth fighting.”

Davis is the clerk of Rowan County, Ky. – a small patch of earth in the northeastern part of the state. She was elected last November – taking the place of her mother, who held the position for nearly 40 years.

It’s fair to say that issuing marriage licenses was something of a family business – until the day the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage.

Davis is a devout Apostolic Christian, and she knew that should gay marriage become legal, she could not and would not sign her name on a same-sex marriage certificate.

When an American politician quotes “Render unto Caesar ...”, he is saying we are subjects of Caesar. Not citizens of a republic.

When the courts become contemptible, holding them in contempt is an exercise in patriotic, decent citizenship, not lawlessness.

She found God between husbands #3 and 4.

I will give her a pass on her fallibility.

Just like it won’t affect other people’s kids /s, now that it’s been legally sanctioned by the SC as being on par with real marriage, and therefore can be taught to kids without parental permission, just as any other regular class would be. All the people who said “What difference will it make if we let queers marry” either didn’t think through all the ramificarions, or were being disingenuous because they supported it and everything it would entail.

Exaxtly, well said. All the “live and let live” people refused to understand that not only will the sodomites not leave you alone, they can now indoctrinate your children with the full force of government on their side, and you can’t opt out, because sodomite mirage is now legally equal to real marriage. Also, the sodomites hate with every fiber of their beings, Biblical Christians, because our very existence convicts them of their sin, and they will make it their life’s mission to harrass and if possible outlaw Christians (the day is coming when Christianity will be outlawed anyway, according to the Bible. The sodomites are the spearhead, or the tools, of that effort. Fortunately, before things get to their worst, all the Christians will be gone).

Yes, people are ignoring that people who merely hold as their private belief that sodomy is a sin, are being fired and persecuted. It is literally a thought crime to have Biblical convictions, especially on this sin (because they couldn’t have used “the right to murder” as effectively against Christianity, as a cause to get the general populace to support).
