And I heard that very thing coming out of my FUMC pulpit this very morning. We live in a very conservative area. A lot of the congregation are ticked. He told us that we had to abide by the ‘law of the land’. If not, quit our jobs. Then said ‘tbey’ should have ‘liberty’ and we shouldn’t block them.
What about OUR liberty????????
I was pissed beyond belief when I left this morning.
The early service I attended is done by an asst. He was more fire and brimstone about it (which is why his services are FULL and the 11:00 isn’t).
That seems to be a recent invention by the left. Americans used to believe in striving for a moral nation, and battling injustice, even if the Supreme Court, state and federal government thought otherwise. That's what ended slavery. After all, owning slaves, and even rounding them up and returning them to their owners after they escaped was once the 'law of the land'.
Back then people opposed to slavery didn't feel that they had to "abide" by the law if it offended their morality.
