Thanks, TroutDude. I know where you stand. Thanks for supporting me.

I hope something will make a dent. I hate to see a Christian-in-name-only be so lost and so far from God.

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

ROMANS 13:1

I'm gonna nitpick just a little. Your attachment is wrong-Mike Huckabee was never a senator. He was a governor.

I assume you are not a Christian. Christians are supposed to be tolerant of others and you clearly are not.

I would think if she was using Islam then the government would bend over backwards to accommodate her and this wouldn't be a major story.

You may have said the words (Lord Jesus Christ I accept you as my Lord and Savior). You may even have been dunked at some point. But, Jeff, you are a Christian in name only. You do not commune with God and He doesn't commune with you. You are not filled with the Holy Spirit. You are not following the teachings of Christ. If you were, you would be very different. We all could see God in your life, if He were there. You can protest all you want that you know God and that you follow Jesus, but you don't. You think you are doing God's work, but you haven't discussed it with God. If you had, God would have put peace and understanding in your heart. Communing with God is the most wonderful, glorious thing I have ever done. Once it happens to you, you will know it. You will not mistake it. Others can see it in you. It is powerful and life-changing. We don't see it in you, Jeff. We don't see God in you, Jeff. You have put blinders on and ear plugs, too. Your soul is so filled with the weeds of the Anti-Christ, they have strangled out the flowers of God.
Only God knows the condition of someone's heart so to stand here and act like you know me personally based on some opinionated posts regarding hot topics is not only offensive, it is being a liar. For all I know, you are an agent of Satan writing these words to get a rise out of me. The fact that I am so despised on this forum is proof alone that I speak the truth. The darkness hates the light and will fight against it. The Holy Spirit guides a TRUE believer away from sin and sin becomes something that we hate and feel absolutely miserable when we betray God and give into it. I'm not going to stand quietly by while people like you celebrate sin and SSM is an blatant betrayal and slap in the face towards the God that you claim to serve. And yet you see nothing wrong with that?

I am asking you to take a deep breath, step away from your anger for a few minutes, and embrace God. Commune (that is a two way street) with God.
I may have little support in this forum, but guess what, an internet forum is not real life! In real life, there are millions of Christians out there who do not agree with the homosexual lifestyle. In real life, you would find yourself in the minority. Here, you just a meaningless username to me.

The Bible tells us that God's light shines through us. Jeff, you do not have the light of God. Don't be a Christian in name only. God is waiting for you.
I will never reject Jesus but I will certainly reject everything you posted here. Wrapping your stone up in a pretty bow doesn't make you look any better.

Like the cab drivers that wanted to refuse fares with dogs or alcohol?

Yeah, they were told to do their job or lose their license.

Like the Muslim cabbies? Once again you try to defend yourself purely with an unproven and ridulous claim. Can you find one example where in the USA a mulim was able to force all those working for him or her to follow the Muslims belief to discriminate? People on this thread have already stated that they would also oppose a Muslim, Hindu, buddists or atheist doing the same thing as Mrs Davis but you ignore reality and slink back into your world of "everyone is against the Christians ".

Ella gave you great advice. I see that you did read it and then attacked her for what she said. Most people do not despise those that are right we go against those that are not good or kind.

You can do the same if you wish, but you deliberately choose not to.

Jeff, you need to understand that when you're debating someone, your entire argument hangs on whether or not you know what you're talking about. You usually do not. Over and over again, you post complete nonsense and present it as absolute fact, and you just don't seem to know the difference between the two. Pointing that out is a legitimate counter to your position.
In other words, you can not counter my arguments so you resort to thinly veiled insults. My education is not the problem. The problem is people like you who hold such a deeply ingrained bitterness and bias attitude towards Christians that you would chew your tongue off before ever just once admitting that we are right. I can honestly say that I've never once seen an atheist say to a Christian "you made a very good point". So it has nothing to do with me. I may be wrong about some things, but wrong about every single sentence I ever write? Cmon.
