God bless her!


reminds me of that saying:

If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?


"You will be hated by all..." Jesus said to His followers 2000 yrs ago

Referencing Roman persecution. Not referring to today, when 1/3 of the world is Christian

The two issues are only related in some people's minds. The Civil Rights marchers prayed to God and often sangs Christian songs. The most famous civil rights leader, MLK Jr. was a preacher. The same was seen in the abolitionist movement a century earlier.

And members of the KKK held bibles while they burned crosses.

Why isnt she, were you a sinner before you were saved?

Maybe GFR7 can tell us about his salvation, and then we can compare the two (Kim Davis' and GFR7's).

Matthew 22:21-25New American Standard Bible (NASB)

21 They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.

Way out of context since thats about taxes, Jesus, Paul and most of the disciples were jailed for their faith for not following Roman law or Jewish law.

Guess you didnt read that far did you?

Mayors and councils of "sanctuary cities" have ignored or broken immigration laws. When will they be jailed?

You don't seem to understand the game Musterion, lawlessness is only permissible if you are a progressive liberal nut job...all others must comply...

Sorry, but that's horribly untrue. Pilate was hesitant to convict Jesus specifically because he broke no laws. The Sanhedrin forced Pilate into a corner because they thought that Jesus was a threat to their faith.

This is an excellent point, under the same premise the president himself should be sitting in jail, untill he complies, or resigns his position, right?

Jesus was also under jewish rule, which is why pilate asked what should be done with him and how Jesus was presented to them.

Then there is paul and the other disciples, jailed and killed under Roman law.

You don't know your bible. Here is a secular source for you though:

Anti-Christian policies in the Roman Empire

Everybody and their mother knows that Pilate was the law, and that he only made concessions to the Sanhedrin in order to prevent the uprising that they claimed would come if he went against them.

He was under Roman rule only. There was pressure from Jewish leaders, but Pilate (and ultimately the emperor) was the authority

Fulfilling her duty as an official of the state is her responsibility under God. If she can't then she should quite her job. I find it very hypocritical that she drew the line on this one issue when the state has many other laws that go against the strict OT Laws. Under the NT, she had no restrictions whatsoever.
