If the government wants to do something and we stand up against it, we are rebelling against what they want, whether it's one of our "civil rights" or not. As pilgrims in this land we don't have any rights except what God gives us, because we are not citizens of Earthly nations, but of a Heavenly country (God's kingdom). The Bible plainly states that and that we are not to become involved in combating the governments that be in power over us, no matter how large, corrupt, evil or anything. Paul didn't combat the Roman empires laws that locked him up in Rome. And he certainly had a lot of ammunition, should he have chosen to use it. The Roman government of that day makes Obama look like a complete declawed KITTEN by comparison!! -Daniel and Clara
His letter is stating that we must not become lazy in our American duty to stand up for Christ. If someone was making decisions that directly affected YOUR family would you 'only' pray for them or would you tell them to stop and protect your family?
Obama is creating a stimulus package that takes MY money to give girls abortions, killing innocent babies. I am NOT okay with that and in our nation we have the right to say so. On top of that he will require the next generation to pay the government back for those abortions. NOT RIGHT. My Christian children should not be required to pay for today's girls who seek abortion. They SHOULD be abstaining from sex, not making my children pay for their choice of birth control.
And abortion is not the only thing that he is doing with our money. He is NOT obeying God's Word and he is putting US in the position to violate our own relationship with God. That's dictatorship! We will not sit by ONLY praying, we must pray YES, but not ONLY pray, while our nation becomes another Hitler invasion in America's clothing.
Clara, you're a sweet lady, but when I read your comments it gives me the impression that you may not understand the full scope of what we are facing here.
America escaped from the dark ages where it was illegal to be a Christian. England wanted to force all people to follow their own man-made religion that defied God. Millions were martyred and killed for their faith, which to me, they took a stand on Biblical truth, not seeking to just be rebellious.
This government currently is based upon the people and we have representatives. If we speak up, tell them what we need as the people, the representatives will hear us and eventually, the president will. If we do not speak up, then democracy is in void. If you think about it, we are not rebelling against the government, but rather putting the American democracy in effect. It's there to be used.
God is also the same yesterday, today and forever. We have been given grace for salvation by the shedding of the blood of Jesus. The law of forgiveness (by the shedding of unblemished blood) was not changed, but paid in full. God created prophecy and prophets to warn us of an upcoming destruction. Even in Revelations, you will still see that when God pours his spirit down to his people and they will prophecy.
"BLESSED is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near." (Revelation 1:3)
