Are Christians Going to be Outlawed & Churches Closed Down in America?

Christians are facing the reality of being relegated to our status of ancient Rome. It’s not enough for secularists and atheists and cultural elites that permeate our society to run Christians out of business, they are on the cusp of running churches out of business. The homosexualist movement has moved its attack into direct confrontation with biblically based churches that believe marriage is between a man and a woman. On the 28^th April, a couple days from now, oral arguments begin before the Supreme Court to determine if homosexual marriage is a Constitutional right.

Given that the Judicial Branch of our government has pretty much rejected the Constitution unless it fits the current cultural/legal zeitgeist, there’s no telling what they’ll come up with. That decision is supposed to be announced sometime in June.

What can happen is, worst case scenario, the government will dictate that churches not performing same sex marriages loose their tax exempt status. Most churches, not being flush with income, will have to close down. Secularists, atheists, the homosexualist movement, don’t view churches as doing anything good despite massive evidence to the contrary. They see Christianity as evil. 

Support of traditional marriage not only effects churches, but businesses, as seen in the attack on many Christian bakers, photographers, wedding planners, and most notably Chick-fil-A. A side note about them; the student government at John Hopkins University voted to ban Chick-fil-A from campus. There isn’t even a plan, not even talk of putting one on campus. That's how deeply the hatred of Christians is for many in our society. Banning Christians from the public square is the thing to do in our new culture. What else will be effected are Christian outreach organizations like homeless shelters, Christian schools and colleges, any humanitarian Christian organization would be shut down if they refuse to comply with same sex marriage laws. We don't even have to disobey a law, we just have to say we think marriage is between a man and a woman. Marriage laws not written by the way, but when has that ever stopped anti-Christian bigots or the Left/dictatorships in any nation at any time in history?

In true Leftist, Secularists, Atheist fashion, the enemy, in this case biblical Christians, have been marginalized, and now the attack can begin in earnest. With the legal community on board, we can now be criminalized, run out of business, followed by fines and even imprisonment.

I remember homosexuals in the 1970’s saying they just want to be left alone, not marginalized. There were even chants during protests to that effect. Next, and justifiably, they wanted civil and legal protections as couples. This was a good and important development. Now they want to change the meaning of marriage to whatever anyone wants to define it as. If it isn’t between a man and woman, and it can be between same sex couples, then anyone can marry anyone or anything in any combination. There are already people marrying their pets.

Our option as Christians is to look to the book of Acts and restructure ourselves like the ancient Christians did. Though we aren’t (yet) being imprisoned, fined, or killed for our beliefs, we may have to step up like Chinese, North Korean, or Caliphate Christians, and defy the government, the culture, and made up laws. A true test of our Faith is coming. 

Disciples of Christ (First Christian Church) Is Joining the Anti Christian Bigoty Assault on Indiana. I'm a Member of the Church. Don't Like It.

The denomination I belong to had a post on Facebook that they were going to move our National Convention from Indiana because of the anti gay law. Story here. It's not that at all, that is a lie, and several in my church 'liked' the post. I posted the following. Support this move in my view supports the anti Christian bigotry of half the country and certainly the Left and Democrats.

My post, which I sure will piss off a bunch of church members, but must be said.

If they do this, I'll have to rethink being a member of the Disciples of Christ. This is not an anti gay bill. None of these freedom of religion bills, the federal one or the 19 states, have ever been the source of gays civil rights being violated, or discrimination against them. What I see here is discrimination against Christians. The reason states are passing these laws is because Christians don't have a way to protect ourselves from state supported anti-Christian hate and bigotry. This is no more than part of the culture war, and is a viscous attack on Christians. These hate-filled anti Christian bigots are being helped by the secular government. How dare Christians try and protect themselves from these attacks. Never ever have these laws been used to discriminate against gays, but gays are forcing Christians to loose their businesses and go bankrupt, losing everything because they practice scripture and the rules of their churches, and spiritual consciences. And Christians are the intolerant ones? I had thought about leaving the Disciples' Church in 2000 or 2001 when the Council of Churches meeting in South Africa, the Protocols of Zion were trotted out, and was just accepted by the Disciples' representatives. To me, that Antisemitism and this anti Christian bigotry are equivalent. My view is if you support this action then you're not supporting the freedom of religion, you're contributing to the destruction of Christianity. It used to be protected by the Constitution. Cal Thomas: "The uproar about Indiana’s law is political theater. It is also a trap set by the Left, which Republicans risk falling into. It works this way: Find a Republican state (Gov. Pence is a Republican and the legislature is overwhelmingly Republican); pick an issue you can twist to your political advantage – and Republicans' disadvantage; enlist the help of a gay-friendly media; threaten a boycott of the state by prominent individuals and businesses; use this issue in the next presidential campaign to brand Republicans as racists, bigots and homophobes. In this theater of the absurd, any defense becomes indefensible. The die has been cast; the scarlet letter attached. ... One potential good has emerged from this, however. Miley Cyrus has announced she won’t be bringing her 'twerking' self to Indiana, which is bound to have a positive effect on the state’s moral climate." More of my thoughts about this here.

The Indiana Kefuffle and the Government & MSM Movement to Destroy Christianity

Usually I let the bullying Left, the Democrats and the rest, that want to throw out the Constitution, not let me get so pissed off. This Indiana thing has lit my rockets! The Left have governors of other states trying to do economic damage to Indiana. The Jurassic Press is doing what they always to, and celebrities (just shut the hell up and sing or act) spout off without having a clue. Jocks too. What the hell does Barkley know about the law? Has he even read the damn thing? Highly doubt it. I haven’t heard him say he has. What the hell? Those Leftist governors whose own states are in a mess should shut the hell up too. Then again, Leftists don’t believe in States’ Rights, only centralized government, so they feel free to join in.

So we have extreme Leftist totalitarians of old, which headed up the Federal Religious Restoration Act over 20 years ago, including anti-Semite, anti-Christian racist Barry Obama that signed the Illinois’ Restoration act; and a bunch of other Leftists that were for it before they were against it. The answer these haters of Christians and the Law have is that the Indiana law has language that is anti-gay. What a giant tank of horse manure. There is no such language. There’s no aggression, only protection of 2,000 plus year old belief systems. Good grief.

What’s really set me off are Christians that buy into this. It’s obvious the homosexualist movement has been running Christian businesses out, destroying lives. None of this would be happening if they went to where they would get the services they wanted, and not try and destroy, like kids breaking toys, when they didn’t get their way. I say homosexualist movement because it’s not about civil rights, it not about discrimination, it’s not about love, it’s not even about who you’re pokin’. It’s about being anti-Christian, anti-Semite, anti-traditional, and anti-business. It’s all about bringing down everything that works, destroying lives, to empower government.

What’s setting me off about Christians thinking like this, is they are putting Government before God, before scripture, and rejecting the teachings of Christ and the Apostle Paul. These “Christians” are entering that arena like American Jews, that don’t even bother to identify themselves as Jews, and put the government first, before Torah and God. Even though it is governments that have slaughtered millions of Jews throughout history, over 70% of American Jews vote Democrat, the Party of Big Government oppression. The anti-Semitism of that Party stuns me, and the virulent anti-Semitism of this president is scarier than just about anything I’ve seen or experienced.  

The other thing about this is the underlying current in all this Indiana kerfuffle, that to believe the Leftist hype is to believe that Christians inherently are anti-gay, hate gays, don’t support gays. If you claim to be a Christian, you had best rethink your position on this, or renounce Christianity, because lies, destruction and an all-powerful central government is what you worship. Not God.

The Federal Government and nineteen states have had this legislation for up to twenty years and not a peep until now. The Restoration laws have never ever been used to discriminate against gays. But Christians are having their lives destroyed, and want some protections. Not exactly working, because many Christians have lost their livelihood and have had lives destroyed in states that do have the Restoration law in place (plus the alleged protection of the Federal Law).

Just lies lies lies lead by anti-Semite, anti-Christian Barry Obama, his political Party, and his sycophant press that writes fiction to protect their secular Savior, the false prophet Obama, instead of Jesus Christ, whom they hate.

Ultimately this is about the government lead anti-Christian movement. Any totalitarian government, knowing history, knows to finally triumph, it must marginalize, if not destroy, Christians and Jews.
