I
wonder what this country (not to mention the modern world) would be like if Government would have stayed out of
the personal affairs of first century Christians? I wonder if the history of their persecution
is 'why' some, not all, but some tend to do the same today...
If
you remember our (human) history, you'll remember it was the Sanhedrin, and
other religious lobbyist who advocated the government to be in favor of Christian persecution…
I’m sure they thought they were doing what was right, you know, sticking up for
their God(s) obeying their doctrines…
Scriptures
that come to mind: Luke 6:37, Luke 6:41, John 8:7, Romans 2:1, Roman 14:10,
Romans 14:13, 1 Cor 4:5…
When I was a Christian I often had issue with why people got so bent out of shape of what other people were doing. I guess I still do, this issue is moot in my mind. Freedom for one group to do something and advocate to have it denied another when both are under the same Government falls under discrimination, which should have no place in our country, especially where love is supposed to the motivation for action for the majority of people who live here. I wonder what the issue is, really is?
Despite how history played out or will play out, a friend of mine posted something on 'FB' that I feel is worth sharing and sums it up for me.
This is the Jefferson Memorial, if any were wondering what
the Founding Fathers might say today as the Supreme Court considers the
"Defense of Marriage Act."
