Even a cursory review of American history reveals that Judeo-Christian values were the bedrock of our founding, and they provided the moral and philosophical firepower to eliminate slavery and underpin the civil rights movement. The patriot pulpit of old was unafraid of political sermonizing, in spite of the fact that a minister’s message could get him hanged if the authorities found it objectionable. Consider these fiery words from Congregationalist preacher Jonathan Mayhew from 1750 as he exegeted Romans 13:1-7: Read more: [link to www.americanthinker.com] Follow us: @AmericanThinker on Twitter | AmericanThinker on Facebook Susie For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.....Matthew 6:21 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: Ecclesiastes 3:1 |

It's fine if they want to do it one-on-one as an individual, but to use the pulpit or the lectern is not a good idea. I don’t suffer fools or shills lightly... Don’t gaslight me, bro. |

[link to www.christianitytoday.com] There's a story of a Catholic priest at the Battle of the Bulge who was charging right into the Ardennes, into the forest. I interviewed a man who was a young officer at the time, coming off the front briefly to have a leg wound bandaged. He saw this priest crouched but running full speed towards the heavy fighting. And the officer said, "Chappie, what in the world do you think you're doing? People up there are dying by the scores!" The chaplain said, "That's precisely why I need to be there." And he just kept going. Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish chaplains, there was no difference. It was an amazing group of men.

Quoting: Little Red Hen I don't think preachers or teachers should be using their positions to push their personal political viewpoints. It's fine if they want to do it one-on-one as an individual, but to use the pulpit or the lectern is not a good idea. But they already do anyway, Imams don't care what the infidel's laws say. This will just level the playing field without Christian preachers being under the cloud of an IRS audit...

Count on it - and it will be the citizens against the government. It will be damn bloody. It will be a war of attrition. It will result in over 100 million dead. The heavy handedness of the government - the fascists in code enforcement and animal control especially - have brought this upon themselves. |
