‘An Answer to Jesus’ Prayer’: ‘Under God’ Event to Address the ‘All-Out Assault on Faith, Family & Freedom’ in America

Exclusive live and on-demand coverage of Restoring Love available now on GBTV Plus – click for details.

–

Earlier this month, we told you about ”Under God: Indivisible,” a monumental event that is unfolding this week and coinciding with Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Love.” The Rev. James Robison, the event’s host, believes that America is facing a spiritual crisis, thus tonight’s conference will seek to remedy the situation by urging participants to bring God back into the mainstream.

(Related: ‘Under God: Indivisible‘ Conference Will Tackle America’s ‘Spiritual Crisis’)

But, what exactly will the 6,000+ recipients expect to hear and learn at the event? In an exclusive interview with TheBlaze, Robison exuberantly highlighted what attendees will experience.

Rev. James Robisons Under God: Indivisible Event Will Focus on Faith in the Mainstream

“They’re going to witness a miracle,” he proclaimed. “One aspect of the miracle is that they‘re going to see an answer to Jesus’ prayer beginning to unfold before their eyes.”

Robison said that participants will see fellow Christians seeking God “with all of their heart.“ The faith leader contends that believers will have the opportunity to be one with God and to be ”perfected in unity with one another.”

While the event will stress the need for togetherness, Robison was careful to highlight the fact that this sameness has nothing to do with theology. Instead, believers are coming together to stand up for religious freedom and faith-based values.

The “Under God: Indivisible” web site provides more about what participants can expect:

On Friday, July 27, spiritual leaders from across the country and from many denominational backgrounds will join one another at High Point Church in Arlington, Texasfor a one-day Christian Leadership Conference dedicated to calling our nation back to God.  Attendees will hear messages from dynamic speakers, receive important information and spend time in prayer for a much-needed spiritual awakening in our nation.

This unprecedented day begins at 2:30 pm with a panel discussion among these exceptional leaders, sharing their insight on matters of faith in the public forum and how to express specific concerns among our congregations and in our communities.  This session (for pastors, priests, and rabbis, along with other ministry and business leaders) will give attendees an opportunity to ask questions of their own. The evening gathering kicks off at 6:30 pm [featuring] renowned speakers standing united for the next Great Awakening.

Considering the debate over the contraceptive mandate and what appears to be a continued assault on faith in localities across the nation, this event will be an interesting opportunity for religious freedom advocates to coalesce.

Rev. James Robisons Under God: Indivisible Event Will Focus on Faith in the Mainstream

“We’re witnessing an all-out assault on faith, family and freedom,” Robison said, going on to cite Chick-fil-A and the drama over its stance on gay marriage as a good illustration of the attacks being waged on both individuals and institutions of faith.

Robison highlighted the partnerships that are developing between Catholics and evangelicals — two parties that don’t necessarily have a robust history of working cohesively. The array of speakers planning to address the audience corroborates the notion that the faithful are crossing barriers to come together in support of freedom. Father Jonathan Morris, Rabbi Aryeh Spiro and William Franklin Graham are only a few of the names that showcase the theologically-diverse minds who will be addressing the audience.

“We are seeing everywhere that God is left out — [and with] the absence of God — you get a glimpse of hell. No father, no love, no compassion, no accountability no responsibility,” Robison continued. “And it’s really becoming a tidal wave of evil and its consequences. So the people of faith have to stand together.”

Robison suspects that those present at the event will see their prayers get answered, but the excitement, he claims, should be embedded in the notion that Jesus Christ’s prayers, too, will be answered. How, you ask? Through caring people who are living out the gospel by showing love for their neighbors.

“Now that’s restoring love,” he said.

Though if you are inclided to seek salvation, I am sure all those who can will help you, but in the meantime, it is not good to aleniate those who you should need help from spiritually one of these days, but Christians being as we are will help you if we can.

      @ JOE…How can that which does not exist have any characteristics? That is your assertion correct, that God does not exist? And if you state that the God described in the bible is of the character you stated then please further inform me of specifically what you are referring to. I beleive you should be careful though. I will use a story to demonstrate from the perspective of a child. As an adult we know things that children just don‘t or can’t comprehend. So if I take my child to get immunizations they may not be happy with me because it hurts. True I am causing them pain, but it is so that they may avoid a deadly disease. Even if they get angry with me and don’t understand why I am allowing them to hurt I do it because I love them and I comprehend the danger more than they do. Even in this life a child may not understand the actions of an adult, but we do not blame the adult for causing the pain of the child we commend it because they are addressing a much more serious issue than their immediate pain, a deadly disease. In the same way IF (I say this for your benefit) God exists you must agree that he would knows things we don‘t or can’t much in the same way of my story. Therefore, it is entirely possible based upon our own reality that God may in fact do things we don’t understand at first until we lQQk into them more. Many many things in reality are about perspective and context. Please keep this in mind when you evaluate things…Thanks.

      Your comparison would be more accurate if the parents were replaced by an unelected government agency who was administrating an untested and experimental new drug on the child. The agency would claim that the drug will allow the child to live past the age of adolescence when the child knows adults who have never taken the drug.

However, in your assertion you assume the God to be untested because of your presupposition. I owuld suggest He does. Now to determine which presupposition and therefore analogy would be more reflective of reality is the heart of the discussion which I am happy to debate further if you choose. Finally your analogy falls apart at the end because you do not know what happens when someone dies. You have not communicated with them in anyway. Thanks ahead…

      sleazy, I work from the default position that the god of Christianity, because there is no reason to believe that this god exists. If you can provide evidence proving that this god does exist (you can’t), then please do.

      Using your analogy, I could easily just invent a deity, and you would have no way of disproving it. If your god were at all interested in the salvation of intelligent, ethically sound people, he would not have allowed for such ridiculous dogma that I have referenced in previous comments. As a moral person, how am I supposed to follow a religion that has the stoning-to-death of non-virgins RIGHT THERE IN THE HOLY BOOK? If I live a good life and choose not to stone nonvirgins to death I am sinning, and will suffer for eternity. Yeah, I’ll pass.

      @ JOE….hat means that out of over 20,000 lines in the NT only 40 are in question as to whether they were in the original. Of the 40 that are questioned they do not impact any Christian doctrinal belief in any way. Homer’s the Iliad has 746 lines that are in question. Now if we lQQk at the fact that since the bible as so many more MSS than the Iliad and therefore many many more chances for corruption this is an astounding calculation (over 99% accuracy) by anyones measure. The evidence for the bibliographical evidence is so mountainous that many shcolars do not critique this area of evidence because to do so and remain intellectually honest would mean that all other works of antiquity would fail the bibliographical test and therefore none could be considered reliable or authentic. Do you want to argue this line of evidence in any manner? I am going to eat and will check in later for your response. If you do not wish to challenge this area we will move to the next line of evidence. Thank you……

      sleazy, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Surely you understand that there are dozens of different versions of the bible. If you’re measuring reliability by the preservation of original text, then I will grant you whatever points you’re attempting to score.

      None of that has anything to do with the existence of a divine being. The truth is that the bible is a sloppy collection of works from bronze age travelling salesmen, telling tall tales stolen from other people just like them. If Jesus did exist, he didn’t write anything, and neither did anyone that was around him. There’s no archeological evidence, eye-witness accounts, or any other first-hand evidence of his works. Anyone that believes that the bible is evidence of the Christian god’s existence is putting their faith in a handful of bronze age storytellers that did not even interact with the very prophet that is the basis of the entire religion. It’s ridiculous.

      @ Joe…The following was the jist of my original post that never appeared. When objectively evaluating any work of antiquity (as is the bible) for authenticity and validity there are 3 scholarly accpeted lines of evidence, bibliographical, external and internal evidence. Bibliographical is the most logical starting place. To begin with the Bible has over 25,000 manuscripts (10,000 latin vulgate, 5300 greek manuscripts of the NT and 9300 earlier versions). That is more than all other works of antiquity combined. The Iliad is second with only 643 MSS. Of all those copies there is an accuracy rate of greater than 99% leaving only 40 lines out of 20,000 as questionable if they were in the original. That is the story of the woman caught in adultery and the ending of Mark both clearly marked as such in modern bibles. In contrast the Iliad has 750 lines that are questionable. In comparison the fact that the bible has so many MSS compared to the Iliad and yet has a much greater accuracy rate it is astounding by anyone’s measurements. So if you want to remain intellectually honest you would have to deny the authenticity of all works of antiquity if rejecting the bibles authenticity as being an accurate reflection of the original since the bible has the greatest amount of evidence for authenticity of all works of antiquity. Now then from this point go back to the other post and hopefully that will be more coherent….Thank you

      @ JOE….your quick dismissal of the bible before even examining the evidence I am presenting which is building a case for the existence of God as the bible describes in a logical step wise fashion betrays any objectivity or desire for truth on your behalf. If you desire to remain ignorant about the evidence it is your choice but don’t pretend to speak with any authority on a topic that you have not reasonably examined. Then you only appear as an ideologue who has a God axe to grind because of your bitterness.

      There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is condemnation before investigation………..

      I would suggest that if that is what you think about the origin of the Christian faith and Jesus and the “lack of evidence” you espouse, that suggests that you have NEVER truly objectively evaluated the evidence. I have talked to atheists before that have lQQked at it that do not present the same boldness as you in your comments because in their intellectual honesty they agree that there is a case to be made. I hope you come to see the illogical nature of your approach. In fact Jesus most assuredly did exist and while he did not write anything there are both internal and external evidences for the validity of the claims in the Gospels. That is the case I was attempting to build before you simply disregarded it without following it through logically step by step.

    Merely bringing up facts is not an attack on anything. Well, maybe we’re attacking ignorance, or hatred. But it certainly is not persecution. There never was a boat built to house 16 million animals for a year while the earth was flooded with water higher than mount everest. There is no evidence for that, and lots of evidence that there never was. Can you spell L E G E N D boys and girls?

      Dismissing the notion that a multi-centenarian was able to gather and fit all the millions of species; some too small to see, some too large to fit on a boat on a single boat probably smaller than the Titanic which was only able to house a fraction of the number the ark allegedly held, does not require luck.

      Ignoring numbers, how was Noah able to keep the carnivores from eating other animals? What did he feed them and where did he get this feed? What about animals that are hermaphrodites? How was he able to fit such a vast amount of animals in a single ark with the technology of his time? Did he travel to gather animals far away from him? How can a man that was so old accomplish this?

      @ ANTITHEIST….You assume too much. Even a cursory reading of the sixth chapter of Genesis will reveal some often overlooked, but very important details. The Bible nowhere states that Noah had to take on board the ark representatives of every living creature. There were three requirements for the animals to be loaded on the ark. They had to be (1) air-breathing (2) terrestrial (land-dwelling) (3) of the same biblical kind. The word “species” and the biblical word “kind” are often used interchangeably. But this is incorrect since they are not synonymous terms. The Genesis use of the word kind denotes an organism that reproduces others like itself. Since the species concept is much narrower, many species can be included in one single biblical “kind.” The term kind is probably closer to the modern taxonomic classification of genus, and in some cases the larger taxonomic classification, family. The Canidae (canine) family includes about 14 genera of dog-like animals. These include the dog, coyote, wolf, jackal, etc. The ark did not have to contain the hundreds of species of canines that make up this group. In reality, these were all represented by a few biblical “kind.“ These ”kind” would then produce all the animals that make up the Canidae family. For example, all of the hundreds of varieties of domestic pigeons that have been produced originated from one species, apparently the wild rock pigeon ( Columbia livia )….thank you.

      Ok, accepting the ridiculous premise of the bible, and accepting this ascendancy in taxonomic hierarchy, you still have not addressed the issue of size and natural animal behavior. How would Noah, for example, convince an animal as large as an elephant to enter the ark? How would he keep, for example, a wolf from eating a rabbit? Are you telling me you accept the Noah myth literally?

      @ ANTI….to answer your question about animal behavior we really first need to address the presupposition of God’s existence or nonexistence. Here is why and I thing you would see the logic in it. If God does exist and is therefore the creator, then he would also possess the power to influence the behavior of those animals as is demonstrated in other parts of the bible. But before I can use that as a logical conclusion I must first lay out a reasonable argument for the existence of a creator in the first place. Do you agree and see the logic of what I am saying? Thank you for all your time. You seem like a reasonable person and I appreciate that….

What is god’s basis for his barometer of intervention and why has its obvious human intervention so suspiciously ceased at the dawn of human renaissance? And forgive me if the reason is some obvious passage in the bible. It seems god’s power dwindles as time goes on, from creating everything “in the beginning” to appearing on toast in the present day.

      @ ANTI…good questions friend. First, and you will have to assume my presupposition that the God of the bible exists, God is telling a main story over and over again within the actual literary words contained within specifically the OT, namely the redemptive story of Jesus. The ark in this instance also represents Jesus in a figurative way. The flood represents od’s judgment upon the whole Earth. Those who believed the message of Noah that judgment was coming (figurative for the Gospel of Jesus that states the same) were invited to enjoy the safety of the ark that would protect them form the coming judgment. In the same way those who believe the message of Christ placing their faith in his prescription for salvation will be saved from the greater judgment yet to come. God has allowed men to be participants in the preaching, spreading, and discipeling of that message in the same way he allowed Noah to participate then. It also dmeonstrated that God is very personal and involved with men. We then in a real way get to see His character and interact in a relational way which is what we were created for in the first place. For instance, I could just do many things myself, but because I love my children I will become relational involved with them to do work around the house that I could do. Yes it takes longer and sometimes not done as well as I could do, but I am building character into my children which is my most important work anyway.

      @ ANTI….Second part. Remember the bible we have now only recently came into existence when compared to history and so in order to point to the divine authority that would give any work the right to govern men’s lives as being inspired by God, we would expect those signs of occasional intervention to be present. However, once the complete revelation, including sin, forgiveness, Christ, the cross, the new covenant of grace, and Jesus’s return have been made fully known and no more revelation is to come forth, then the need for those interventions cease because there is no more need to authenticate that revelation because it has already been done. I agree with you that many people of faith falsely conceptualize God in everything to the point of fantastical and absurdity. Unfortunately, this tendency in some has only served to diminish the reality of those things that do have reasonable evidence to support them. Finally, I would say that God’s power is demonstarted very powerfully daily in the same way Jesus did when talking with Pharisees that did not believe him. Which is easier, to forgive sin or tell this cripple man to take up his mat and walk? The greatest display of God’s power was dying on a cross for his enemies that they might come back into a relationship with him through faith defeating our 2 greatest enemies, death and Satan. This still occurs to this very day, every day. Thank you again for your time and consideration. Good questions.

    The law of the Old Testament was used to school people into realizing that sin will be punished. In the New Testament Christ was born and gives grace throughout the power of the Holy Spirit. This love and good feelings in this world is from the Holy Spirit. Those who receive this Holy Spirit in their hears by repenting of their sins (turning away,) asking forgiveness for the sin and asking Jesus into their hearts will be saved. The Holy Spirit lives withing these who do this and gives them more peace and strength to deal with things in this live. They have an edge and more control. They are more wise in their dealings to say away and avoid places of sin. When the Holy Spirit Leaves this world and those saved are raptured out before the very bad gets even worse, there will be no love in the world. It will be many, many times worse than it is. Those saved will avoid the worst of it all. It would be very well worth considering. The old Testament is more of the history and how they dealth with sin before Christ came. Get it right. You may need a good Bible believing Church and to read and study the Bible and ask for understanding and knowlege. Seek and ye shall find.

    It is amazing to me how some think they are too “intelligent” for God. Just remember a mistake is like copying down a wrong phone number or picking up a pen when you need a pencil, etc. A sin is a sin and sin is pointed out in the Bible. Those Ten Commandments and instructions from your parents in the good things will bring health to your bones. People are calling crimes and sin “mistakes.” They do not want to realize they are sinners and/or criminals for they rationalize their own goodness instead of trying to pray and ask forgiveness from God and to ask for strength to overcome these vices or whatever. They want the forgiveness from those they admire so those admired will admire them. This type of forgiveness to be admired of men is a vicious circle and a deception from hell.

      A sin is a sin is a sin, right? So go get some stones.

      @ JOE….Let’s not get the cart before the horse. Before you can attack what the bible says we must first deal with your presupposition that there is no God since you will base all other conclusions upon that supposition, then after we settle that issue we can then begin the task of what is or is not the true reflection of that God’s communication and the nature of it. However to argue such as you have is illogical because you are not addressing the real issue which is the presupposition that God does or does not exist. I am assuming you are an atheist? If I am correct, do you classify yourself as a strong or weak athiest (meaning a strong says there is no god and a weak says they have seen no convincing evidence there is a god)? I await your response thanks ahead….

This is becuase you don’t want to hear the truth you just want to make fun of people. That is a sign of a sad existence.

    I fully support an outpouring of prayer for our nation.

    This nation, just like ancient Israel, has been warned by God to return to his ways.

    We have turned our back on God, and have been defiant and arrogant to his warnings and alarms.

    PLEASE read the book “HARBINGER” by Jonathan Cahn. It will give you goose bumps. It proves beyond any doubt, that 9/11 and the collapse of our economy were prophesied in Isaiah 9:10 and if we do not humble ourselves and return to God, that we WILL BE and ARE doomed as a nation and a world power.

    Like Mike Huckabee said, we do not have a gun or violence problem in America, we have a SIN PROBLEM.

Get used to it because if you stand before God without salvation of the blood of Jesus Christ covering this sin, you will go to hell. If you want to play “intelligence” games an trust mankind for your salvation, you have a horrific suprise awaiting you. Those pieces of paper getting human credits for tricks learned to “get ahead” in this live may allow you some little reward or other on this earth to show you have been indoctrinated at the right university, but you are depriving yourself of eternal salvation so you can look cool and contemporary. Just remember, God created the heavens and this earth and all therein. There is nothing new under the sun and if you want to take a chance on mankind with his little sin spot and some with a big sin spot in their hearts to clear the way for you, you do, indeed have a rude awakening coming. That Bible you have (hopefully a King James original or Scofield) is the only roadmap you are going to have in this life to give you the true direction. Jesus left you a last Will and Testament in the New Testament so you could see the way. I do so hope you consider this.

      Religious people are terrified of reality. “We have a sin problem”? Really? I wonder how Mike Huckabee feels about widows choosing not to marry the brothers of their deceased husband. Are they sinners (Mark 12:19)? If Mike is right, us sinners will soon be eating the flesh of our children (Leviticus 26:27-30). Does Mike’s wife cover her hair when she prays (Corinthians 11:5)?

      Also, I bet Mike Huckabee throws like a girl. So we should find some other people to throw rocks at non-virgins (Deuteronomy 22:20-21).

      Honestly, if you believe in this stuff, you are just an objectively terrible person. Sorry, Christians. You don’t have the moral high ground.

      Your ad hominem: You attacked the quality of my morality by asserting that a moral relativist has no right to question moral absolutes. You asserted that moral relativism is inferior, because it has no objective basis to argue from, therefore as a moral relativist, I had no right to question the moral absolutes of the Bible. That had nothing to do with defending the moral absolutes of the Bible. That’s an attempt to shut down debate before it begins.
      You then diverted the argument towards my beliefs, before fully debating the moral absolutes of the Bible.
      I personally should have rephrased my original question to the moral absolutes of the Bible, and not yours. I assumed they were the same.
      BTW, I’m not a moral relativist, nor absolutist. I left Christianity not too long ago and I honestly don’t have a position right now. I try to argue both sides in order to see which one holds the most water.

      @ ALINMATT…I went back and lQQked up our last posts and saw where you posted things I did not see since that story is older. You said that I engaged in distraction and I would beg to differ. However, if you could be more specific in your claim that would help me evaluate your statement better.

      Secondly, you stated, “You also engaged in ad hominem by asserting that a moral relativist has no right to question moral absolutes.” I never asserted a moral relativst had no right to question moral absolutes? It was a form of argumentation meant to demonstrate that if you desire to remain logical (I assume you do) then to question any morality would be illogical as all would be relative. That is what we were doing was debating the logical nature of moral relativism. However, if you make judgments about morality I was pointing out you have no standard, no objective platform with which to disagree with someone else’s morality, be it an individual or the bible. It is an illogical position. Furthermore, that does not qualify as an ad hominem because I never attecked you or your character. I was addressing your position as stated by you as a moral relatiavist as being illogical. I did nothing more toward you then you were doing toward my position by questioning me. Thank you ahead. And thank you for apologizing for the personal jabs. I appreciate that and it demonstrates good character. Take care and I hope harvest goes well for you, we are in a major drought.

I think that part of our trouble is in the impersonal format of this media type and many times things can become “lost in translation” as some things are presumed that may be incorrect. I hear ya when you say that I distracted and didn’t address your objections to absolute morality, but I see that I spent a great deal of time trying to demonstarte the illogical nature of the question to begin with and then gave a defense for the logical conditions in the bible that you questioned anyway. My point is that if we question moral absolutes and we lean or hold a relativistic viewpoint we have self-refuted our position of relativism before we even begin because everything is relative morally and therefore you may question but it runs counter to your presupposition that it is all relative. That was my argument. Thanks again and I appreciate your interaction very much.

Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

      True, but provide the context; everyone back then knew it was important to pray and be devoted to God. Most did a bad job at that. But the point is that pious people were admired

      Today the opposite is true. Pop culture reviles God left and right. It is time to learn the true meaning in Scripture and share it with anyone that expresses the slightest interest in it. We have to restore our fear of God. Without it mankind will lose their freedom to the creeping soft tyranny of globalism, which will not stay “soft” for long.

      Prayer in earnest releases power that helps combat evil. Just because you cannot see it does not negate the fact that it exists. Peope curse and it has effect of rancor and effects the emotions of others. Prayer has an effect and allows the power of Heaven to tune in and be release in the manner it should. Prayer (as you say, not just to be seen and heard) is unlike what people can measure or control because if people understood this power, being with dark spots in their hearts, they would in the end allow this to be used upon the lusts of the world if they could. The thing is to Pray, even when you do not feel like it, for we are not dealing with emotions or feelings here, just doing what God says. Emotions can fool people for they are within themselves. Obeying God gives a peace, gentle and not as earth shattering but the result can be earthshattering when on God’s timing the good comes to pass. Pray and teach your children to pray and to love and honor God. They will be needing Him in their lifetimes even more than we do now. Stand for God and those who honor and trust God.

Galations 3:28. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male or female, for you are all one in Jesus Christ.” Why dont you let Jesus worry about truing-up each of us on our day of judgment and let Glenn and others do their part in restoring the country to God without your feable attacks on Gods.

    OPen question:

    Hows this for an idea that could start a whirlwind of support and patriotism:
    American flags flown at HALF staff to express mourning for our leadership (and lack thereof). The true assaults are not from weapons, but by careless speech and dangerous ideas that erode at the red, white and blue.

    Everyday freedoms are at risk, enemies foreign and domestic, Farrakhans rants, Bloomburgs mental breakdowns, Mike Moores insane ideas, the inroads of Islam, the attacks on marriage, pick any one of a thousand attacks on the Constitution, and find your own reason to display the flag for there is plenty of mourning to go around. Flags across the country expressing solidarity for a new administration..

    Imagine the raising of the flag with a new president! I just dont know if it would be appropriate. What say ye?

    This is a hard line, fundamentalist christian event. Contrary to the blatant lie of the story, it is a christian event to promote the total opposite of real freedom. It will promote the “christian freedom”, which is wholly a farce. Further, there is no assault on religion. It is another total lie. No one is closing churches, taking your bibles, closing down your schools. You have to accept the fact that the public arena is not the place for religion, but that in absolutely no way means there is some kind of attack on christians. The Chik-fi-lay story…simple. A small minded man and hi archaic beliefs have no place in today’s society and the country is letting him know it. This is not an attack on an innocent man just expressing an opinion, contrary to popular belief on the website. He, like many others hide their hatred, cloaking it behind religion and using christianity and the bible as the excuse to be vile venum spewing people. This tactic has been used to justify slavery, Jim Crow, condemning woman rights and any other system that promotes real and absolute freedom. Break down the various reasons of getting all the people together for a Beck event. It’s all about the bottom line. The money. Nothing else. Everything he and the christian fundamentalists say is to anger its followers so they will keep coughing up money. Use objective thinking and see the truth about these con men. The truth shall set you free.

      Wow… quite a bit of slandering. Care to show some facts? BTW, tens of thousands (or more) of Christians died freeing slaves. Also, when blacks were hanged, almost 1/3 of the time a Christian was hanged along side of them. Oh, and Christians stopped Witch trials. Oh, Christians died for your freedom today. Oh, lastly, Christians and Jews are the most persecuted groups of ALL time…none come close so why no sympathy or concern for that?. They also are the most GIVING of all time. BTW, governments (atheists/God hating) have killed over 250,000,000 innocent people in about 100 years. I could go on and on regarding your flawed persona of Freedom and Christianity!

      @ VAMAN….Seems you don’t understand the laws of the country you live in. The constitution provides the right for the religious to practice their religion in the public arena, not in the hidden privacy behind 4 closed walls. The very freedoms you enjoy and the greatest nation in the history of men for prosperity and liberty was created mostly by men of faith. So you have no foundation to stand on other than your own persecution and prejudices. What vile venom did anyone from Chik-fil-a spew at anyone? Please quote it for me right here and now. You can’t because you simply made it up like many of the other assertions in your comment. They simply said that they embrace marriage as it has been defined for thousands of years! Now all of a sudden because you want to change it, its hatred, venom, intolerance, and discrimination if people want to keep marriage what it has always been defined as in human society. I would suggest it is you who are the intolerant militant one toward anyone who disagrees with your opinions. Your ideology has already been exposed by CESSNA for what it is and what the results have been in modern times which are accurate historically. Good day.

      “Do as thou will is the whole of the law.”
      or

      @sleazy
      It’s not so much that Christians oppose gay marriage that confuses me, but the inconsistency in their “defense of marriage”. Divorce rates keep creeping up in this country, yet no Christian proposes a law to counter this like they do with gay marriage. You say that we are militant for wanting to change marriage, but the same could be said of interracial marriage in the recent past. What is the constitutional basis for disallowing gay marriage on a federal level?

      @ ANTI…interracial marriages are as old as marriage itself. The bible is full of interracial marriages. History is full of interracial marriages. People will always have their prejudice against races for various reasons. However, never in human history has same sex marriage been recognized or approved in any society depsite rampant homosexuality in some cultures. The issue of divorce really is a side issue with no bearing on the issue or defense of gay marriage. In fact there are some very valid reasons for divorce biblically, adultery and abandonment being 2. Having said that it is true that divorce is a very sad thing and I would love to see the rates drop nationwide. However, this does not preclude the conclusion that homosexuals should be able to marry because divorce is increasing. Finally, Marriage and the family unit is the bedrock of civilization and society for millenia, and for very good reasons. It is in the nurturing environment that a male or female child learns, from both mother and father, the relational skills between the sexes (when healthy as intended) and their ultimate ability to prosper within their relationships with those of the same and opposite sex. Governments have long recognized the strength of familys to the society as a whole and their ability to procreate and sustain said societies therefore confer upon them rights that protect and encourage the establishment and maintenance of the traditional family unit. Thank you ahead…

Too many times, so called religious people, try to usurp the creator’s role in His creation. I, You, We do not have the intellect to be a true judge of man’s heart.

      Christianity is being marginalized by the sunshine Christians and the uncaring. Christianity is being actively assualted by athiests and we are in a religious war.

      WHKell’s comments are indicative of the war of theology inside of Christianity. Mindsets still reside in the Reformation. Protestants and Catholics have institutionalized and internalized the history of the butchery of the Reformation and carry it to this day.

      Our Founding Fathers did something remarkable. They could have designated the Church of England as the State church. Instead, they chose freedom. I am a Roman Catholic. In England, the Roman Catholic Church was outlawed. Priests and nuns were killed if they didn’t join the Church of England. The Protestant Founders gave me the right to practice my faith. They also gave me the right to defend it.

      We must stop this internal conflict. We must act on the freedom we have been given if we want to retain it. It is simple. If we don’t stop the corrosion from within, we will lose to the attack from without.

      Nowhere, by the way, are we told to build unity. We are told simply to keep unity. From God’s perspective there is but “one flock and one shepherd” (John 10:16). Unity does not need to be created; it simply needs to be protected.
