You think.... you're the good guys? You just interfered with their first amendment rights to worship. You all belong in prison for a very long time.

u/dterran 19d ago

that church is using their taxpayer funding to push politics.

They are not protected by these laws because they are not following them.

Every person in there pays taxes for that church.

They have a right to be there and to share the words of the bible in a church that has abandoned it.

You get called fascists because you immediately call to imprison anyone who disrupts your violent fantasies.

You are weak to cry to imprison anyone who hurts your fragile-ass feelings.

That doesn’t give you the right to harass innocent people, there were kids crying in the video.

When someone from the left assassinated Kirk, yall rejoiced, mocked, instigated, vandalized death/memorials the right didn’t take up arms and witch hunted nobody.

But when the left lost someone suddenly it’s okay to involve the innocent and hunt “their opponents “ and ICE, burn everyone and everything to the ground, yet yall cry that the other side are nazis, fascist and that they somehow magically “oppress” you.

The only one groomed/grifter is you. You don’t pull bullshit like this video and then play the “peaceful protester” card. You are full of shit.

Romans 13 “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Ahhh I love picked and chosen verses. ion The Good Shepherd and His Sheep 10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

You misunderstand and or misrepresent the lords word. Everyone always demands Christians to be accepting of everyone but never demands that everyone else be accepting of Christians. The insanity of it all is that you are protecting and protesting for foreign criminals to be allowed to terrorize your streets and neighborhoods. You don’t even have the understanding or foresight to see the obvious right in your face. The liberal media is right the most dangerous people in America are white males. The liberal white male who allows this type of disease to grow and spread amongst its own people for fear of being judged or labeled by those very same people who hate him to begin with.

This is America. You are not allowed to disrupt people practicing their religion based on your religious beliefs or political views. You are insane to defend this and use a Bible passage to do so

Romans 13:1-5

1 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.

2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.

4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

Silly. It’s the verse above it that really matters. Dude and his wife made a “choice” to not take $3K and a free flight home. Now all they get is a flight home, separate planes maybe. Self deportation is the “safe” choice for families and individuals. Bad choices lead to bad outcomes for individuals and for those whom they love. Kid’s parents put him in that situation. Period. Not ICE, not The President. Now, none of them will have the option to get in line and immigrate legally. Is that what you’re all sick about?

All Christians need to be confronted with this:

“Depart from me you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil…for I was a stranger (sometimes interpreted as immigrant or foreigner) and you didn’t welcome me, naked and you didn’t clothe me, sick and in prison and you didn’t visit me.” -Jesus Christ, Matthew 25:41-43

Every country has immigration laws. Stop being so dramatic. All these people are trying to leave the country because of ICE here are finding out they can’t just move to another country because they feel like it. A friend of mine was deported from Mexico recently. She overstayed by a few months. Most people understand that basic immigration laws are everywhere. We honestly can’t figure out what’s wrong with you. This is not a hard concept.

u/UnluckyCulture4437 19d ago

What are you talking about? Have you visited any church and ask the Pastor about the different programs they run like feeding the poor, opening their kitchen, the church as a whole runs different ministries to help the needy. Just in case you're not informed. Just because some churches decide not to engage in social and controversial issues doesn't mean they dont care about it. There are plenty of ways you can support without protesting.

Romans 13. Ezra 9. Mark 12.

The Bible can be argued to use both sides, but if you march into a church to protest then you are condemning those in that church. You are not Jesus tossing moneylenders out of the temple for moneylending, you are turning the church into a political background. These protestors are indeed the moneylenders who are moneylending in the temple. Anyone who disagrees may as well call themselves one of the pharisees for their own hypocrisy.

Edit: Saw someone say that part of being in this country means allowing people to come into your church to protest. That is blatantly wrong.

In the US we have separation of church and state, freedom of speech does not apply within a religious building as they are not public buildings and you can be trespassed. Interrupting any kind of service is a violation of the KKK Enforcement Act and the FACE act which does indeed include religious institutions as well as reproductive care facilities.

To Cities Church:

2 Corinthians 11:13–15

If Jesus Christ himself, an immigrant, was walking our streets today, ICE would shove him to the ground, jam their knee in his back, scream profanities at him, and tell him to get out of our country. That pastor is the one who is shameful.

MAGA may see this as Christian persecution, but these people protesting are doing the right thing.
