I mean...did SCOTUS' decision prevent me from witnessing on the street? Did SCOTUS decision keep me from inviting people to my church? Did SCOTUS decision mean a mass persecution of Christians burnt to the stake like this is 45AD?
I'm trying to figure out why alllll of these Bible toting, word declaring, holy rollers are scared/disappointed/sadden and disheartened by a decision that in no way minimizes the power you carry to demonstrate the love and light of Christ radiating in your heart.
I REPEAT. THIS IS NOT PERSECUTION.

Chided are we by a young urban Christian that assure us that no Christian will be burned or fed to a lion during the ruling of the Judges. As a Holy Roller, I truly appreciate the assurances of the woman. Yet, I feel she a bit deceived and even more so, unwilling to admit that she and her God are the greatest threat to Kings and Queens of America's Sexual Revolution. I believe her naive to the clandestine plans of those that wish to silence her offensive God. While yesterday nothing prevented "me from witnessing on the street", today my unwillingness to forsake my orthodoxy may be enough to warrant my arrest and receive a fine from the State. Today, what I believe may not separate me "from inviting people to my church". Tomorrow, however, I may have to choose between a State sponsored church, regaled in the cloak of the Internal Revenue Services' 501(c)3, or find a Underground House of Believers that will not result in being fined or arrested for abusing the minds of children with the vile and filthy protestations of Leviticus 20, Romans 1 or Revelations 21.
After a week of Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) decisions, we can clearly see the traffic sign warning of our crossing the demarcation between Old and New America. In No. 14–114 KING ET AL v. BURWELL, SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, ET AL, SCOTUS determined that words mean nothing. Only the Secular Spirit of Discernment may interpret from on High what statutory means. Hence, the Constitution as a reference for judgement has been cast aside for the omniscient revelations of nine justices. Chief Justice John Roberts intimated the motivation for the decision, "Here, the statutory scheme compels the Court to reject petitioners' interpretation because it would destabilize the individual insurance market in any State with a Federal Exchange, and likely create the very "death spirals" that Congress designed the Act to avoid." Yes, the Nation of the Most Offensive Capitalist System could not use the free market to balance the loss of government sponsored health insurance. No, No, No! All would be lost! Roberts proceeds, "The combination of no tax credits and an ineffective coverage requirement could well push a State's individual insurance market into a death spiral. It is implausible that Congress meant the Act to operate in this manner. Congress made the guaranteed issue and community rating requirements applicable in every State in the Nation, but those requirements only work when combined with the coverage requirement and tax credits. It thus stands to reason that Congress meant for those provisions to apply in every State as well." Once again CJ saves the Obama Day! How can anyone install communism in America with all of these interruptions in the Courts. For goodness sake, your life and health no longer belong to you. I thought we established that when we completed the Second Bill of Rights in 2010. Don't worry Conservatives. We can count on Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner to save us from our continual climb of the Declaration of Human Rights staircase. Certainly government control of life and health is not a sincere sign of oppression and persecution. But you know more than I do Ms. Modern Christian. No offense.

In No. 13–1371, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, ET AL., PETITIONERS v. THE INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES PROJECT, INC., ET AL, Justice Kennedy presented the Court's understanding of John Locke's pusuit of private property. From a Court that guards "We the People" across the street from our deign sovereign ambassadors, SCOTUS rendered a mighty decision on the federal government's restraint against private property. There is none. It is fine for the federal government to place "affordable housing" anywhere it sees fit. What is the justification? Unconscious racism is the Jeopardy question. Justice Anthony Kennedy writes, "The Court holds that disparate-impact claims are cognizable under the Fair Housing Act upon considering its results-oriented language, the Court’s interpretation of similar language in Title VII and the ADEA, Congress’ ratification of disparate-impact claims in 1988 against the backdrop of the unanimous view of nine Courts of Appeals, and the statutory purpose." WOW, statutes mattered in this one. Wink! According to Dr. David Williams, professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University, the research shows that when people hold a negative stereotype about a group and meet someone from that group, they often treat that person differently and honestly don't even realize it. Williams noted that most Americans would object to being labeled as “racist” or even as “discriminating”, but he added, “Welcome to the human race. It is a normal process about how all of us process information. The problem for our society is that the level of negative stereotypes is very high.” Yes, the same government that can't balance a budget or deliver the mail timely, can read your mind. Yes, the Obama Administration has infinite awareness, understanding, and insight or possessed of universal or complete knowledge. For the child that chides me, the Holy Roller, know that your government has compared itself to your God. It knows what you think. It knows what you know. It knows what you did last summer. By the way, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) allowed the largest security breach in the history of the United States. How did it happen? Nuala O’Connor, President & CEO of the Center for Democracy & Technology, reports, "Among the problems cited in the Inspector General’s report? OPM didn’t have the most basic data map or a simple inventory list of its servers and databases, nor did it have an accounting of all the systems connecting to its network". WOW, guess they didn't know that was going to happen! Simply, the respect for private property has been blemished by the absolute power of a kind, overarching federal government. Government Approved Life and Health, Liberty and the Pursuit of Section 8.
Child of Modern Reason, the peacekeeping LGBTQ community had a problem. Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee define marriage as a union between one man and one woman. The citizens of each state had this idea that their opinion by electoral politics was sovereign and that the Courts could not overrule their consensus. Where did they get a nutty idea like that? Genesis 1:26-28. Yeah, but how can we draw upon God for any relevance of law. For as long as the Sun revolved around the Earth, as reported by the Catholic Papal Scientists, marriage had been recognized in law, statute, custom and moral understanding as a union between one man and one woman. Not even the Romans or Greeks perverted this custom. So much for riling the LGBTQ mafia. To the Courts! SCOTUS told us today that the 14th Amendment requires a State to license a marriage between two people of the same sex and to recognize a marriage between two people of the same sex when their marriage was lawfully licensed and performed out-of-State. The Fourteenth Amendment asserts (4) principles:
- State and federal citizenship for all persons regardless of race both born or naturalized in the United States was reaffirmed.
- No state would be allowed to abridge the "privileges and immunities" of citizens.
- No person was allowed to be deprived of life, liberty,or property without "due process of law."
- No person could be denied "equal protection of the laws."
WOW! The same amendment that guaranteed freed slaves all rights and liberties as freed men has been perverted to absolve the custom of marriage. In the Courts Opinion, Justice Kennedy leads mankind in divine judgement of the historic custom of same sex marriage. In JAMES OBERGEFELL, ET AL., PETITIONERS 14–556 v. RICHARD HODGES, DIRECTOR, OHIO, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, ET AL.; VALERIA TANCO, ET AL., PETITIONERS 14–562 v. BILL HASLAM, GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE, ET AL.; APRIL DEBOER, ET AL., PETITIONERS 14–571 v. RICK SNYDER, GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN, ET AL.; AND GREGORY BOURKE, ET AL., PETITIONERS 14–574 v. STEVE BESHEAR, GOVERNOR OF KENTUCKY, there is acknowledgement that homosexuality was cured by the voice vote of the American Psychiatric Association (APA):
For much of the 20th century, moreover, homosexuality was treated as an illness. When the American Psychiatric Association published the first Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1952, homosexuality was classified as a mental disorder, a position adhered to until 1973. See Position Statement on Homosexuality and Civil Rights, 1973, in 131 Am. J. Psychiatry 497 (1974). Only in more recent years have psychiatrists and others recognized that sexual orientation is both a normal expression of human sexuality and immutable.
Amazing! Homosexuality is immutable, Latin immutabilis "unchangeable,". Maybe APA should vote pedophilia off the charts as a mental illness. Men wanting boys is immutable and should be upheld.for legal marriage of a Pastor to his youthful congregants. Immutable, my child of modern Christian appeasement, was once attributed to only the One True God. I believe it was Hebrews 13:8. A synonym of immutable is sacrosanct, whose origin is Latin sacrosanctus "protected by religious sanction, consecrated with religious ceremonies". Sacrosanct means "extremely sacred or inviolable; not to be entered or trespassed upon; and above or beyond criticism, change, or interference". We literally have been told that it is the Supreme Court that has the Divine Power to consecrate a mockery of the Creator, to accept it without question or debate and that this ruling can never be changed or overruled. It is so ordered. Thanks to the Divine Nine I now know that LGBTQism is a permanent as marker ink and their marriage just as sacred.
Having eliminated any adherence to the Constitution in the ObamaCare opinion and accepted the power of omniscience in the Texas Housing Opinion, Justice Kennedy pointed his finger from the clouds towards his Caitlyn Jenner, from whom he created this right out of no rights, and said:
No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right. The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed. It is so ordered.
So you ask, "What is wrong with such compassion?" Nothing if you believe that man creates and takes away rights. However, we observe our rights from God not man. The Supreme Court has ushered us into Government Approved Life and Health, Fictitious Liberty and the Pursuit of Section 8.
We no longer have our trust in God. Our government has taken His place. A Facebook dissenter responded to the Court's decisions in this manner, "You might be able to change the laws of America but You will never change the Laws of God." Here, a Christian conservative will make his grandest error. That God supersedes Man was once understood but no longer, even amongst the so called Faithful. Truly, America No Longer Trusts in God. The White House, once solemn and revered site of the Nation's Capitol, is lit up like a New York Disco with the LGBTQ colors. So what can go wrong? For now, I will look at two of the Warnings of a SCOTUS Dissenter. Clarence Thomas is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Thomas, haven succeeded Thurgood Marshall, is the second African American to serve on the Court. He offered the following warnings:
In our society, marriage is not simply a governmental institution; it is a religious institution as well. Today’s decision might change the former, but it cannot change the latter. It appears all but inevitable that the two will come into conflict, particularly as individuals and churches are confronted with demands to participate in and endorse civil marriages between same-sex couples.
Although our Constitution provides some protection against such governmental restrictions on religious practices, the People have long elected to afford broader protections than this Court’s constitutional precedents mandate. Had the majority allowed the definition of marriage to be left to the political process—as the Constitution requires—the People could have considered the religious liberty implications of deviating from the traditional definition as part of their deliberative process. Instead, the majority’s decision short-circuits that process, with potentially ruinous consequences for religious liberty.
Thomas is wise enough to observe that religious liberty is the foundation for our society and is at the heart of why our Nation was founded. Faith requires an ability of men to discriminate from all religions and states. The Christian Faith is built upon a "complete trust or confidence in" Jesus as Lord and Savior. It is a Faith given to us by God, not created by the inspiration of men. It can not be adequately compared to any state confidence or religious belief. Its purpose is to liberate all from the confines of sin or offense against God and society. Even under tyranny, the call to "deny oneself, pick up one's Cross and follow Him" requires us to live above the laws of men. Yet, our living conflicts with those in society that are easily offended and would use the law to persecute us. Some will say that the LGBTQ community is being misidentified as perpetrators of the Faith. However, they have advanced strategically. First, suing for rights to access to loved ones in hospitals. Then, suing for rights as family members. Now, successfully garnering marriage equality. A free Christian will never willingly submit to the tyranny of an anti-Constitutional government. That however, is the next advance upon the churches. As of July 1, 2015, churches will be divided by the LGBTQ community as those that obey the state mandate, under the auspices of the IRS 501(c)3, and those that respond negatively via civil disobedience. The purpose is to separate the church from the "state allowed charitable contribution exemption", which on estimate costs the federal government $40 billion or more annually. The purported reason is that the Faith community is allowed to discriminate. Once free, no man or institution would desire to be made a slave. All signs point to an end of the First Amendment. You will not publicly worship without fear of governmental or judicial contention. Even now, congregates are considering whether to remain at their state sponsored church or seek out a church that will come under contention because of Faith belief. Without authority to involve itself in politics, the state sponsored church will forgo Faith and remain aligned with the political power of the LGBTQ. The contended institutions will fold and go underground. This is why the Pilgrims left Europe for the New Land. We have run out of New Lands. The Free and the State will contend. The result will be a revolt against a tyrannical state or the people will adjust to a Faithless society. Where is The Exceptional One regarding this matter.
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15 King James Version (KJV)
