How free???

[laterunner]

How free isthe ''Land of the free''.:sure::magnify:

We hear; over here, that you can't go carol singing in your neighberhood or give out invites to your services or meetings & that you are resricted in sharing the gospel. :doctor:

:suspicious:
How true is all this??

How do you get round the difficulties??

What suggestions could you offer us in the UK.??

High school students strike back at ACLU and political correctness | Christian Coalition of America

While the God haters are doing their best to remove the foundational principals this country was born of one can still Christ mas carol and witness freely in all the places I know.
President Obama has recently signed a bill that would make it a hate crime to witness to homosexuals. Personally I believe that not telling them they can get free and be made whole would be the hate crime.
Christendom in the USA is under unrelenting attacks as are the freedoms of the people but it is not over yet.
One thing they still fear is the (sadly) silent majority rising up and demanding that common sense and common decency be restored.
I see that beginning to happen so there is still hope.
Or as the song puts it so well:

You can still pray in the USA by Morgan Cryar:
Teacher sayin', Cant be prayin',
says it's against the rules
we're free today, in the USA,
not here in my school
Well I got news for you today,
you can't stop a heart that prays


You can still pray in the USA,
You can still pray in the USA
'till they steal your heart away
You can still pray in the USA,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Well, I'm no rebel, just a pebble
stuck in some judges shoe
my bended knee may not be free
but my hearts gonna break on thru
they're pouring fuel on the fire
tryin' to stop what God desires


You can still pray in the USA,
You can still pray in the USA
'till they steal your heart away
You can still pray in the USA,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Someday we may hear it
"Prayin is a Felony"
I guess they'll call us criminals then
I guess that's what I'll be
oh yeah


pray in the USA, You can still pray in the USA
'till they steal your heart away
don't you know, You can still pray in the USA,

You can pray in the USA,
You can still pray in the USA
'till they steal your heart away
You can still pray in the USA,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

There is no law in the United States that prevents witnessing to homosexuals. I assume the reference is to the Matthew Shepard Act, passed in October.

The law applies to violent acts only: it does not apply to speech.

Unless I am missing something?

In essence , the ********** movement has seemingly determined them to be a "race"?
A "race" that has all colors of peoples, and are called "gay" and "lesbian" not male or female.

When I hand out tracks, I do not ask, are you gay or lesbian...I have no idea, in fact I am not even thinking about their sexual preference, ( which is what "gay" and "lesbian" is) I simply hand them out and wish a nice day to everyone.

So I could be arrested now, because as a "Christian" I am not a race, but a loonie?

Cool.

How long before the pedophile determines they are a race, born that way and start demanding rights?

I don't hate anyone, I just think political correctness has paved a nice sidewalk into hell-o!! and has nothing to do with biblical values.

Jesus please hurry!!!

Wow, can't even type the word H---S___al in this forum!!!

How Free ??? God's Plan B

While the God haters are doing their best to remove the foundational principals this country was born of one can still Christ mas carol and witness freely in all the places I know.

I don't believe God is alarmed about what the God haters are doing. He has never been backed into a corner. He has never said, "Oh my goodness, what do I do now?" He has always had a powerful Plan B and it just may be that now is the time for the church to turn to that plan.

Just last night, a close friend of mine told me that he'd recently heard a missionary say that a change in missions focus is taking place in America. The move is away from street corner evangelism and other forms of external activity to programs centered on building relationships with unsaved people. I think that is God's Plan B, the plan that He is now puttijg forward. He wants us to do evangelism the way the church in the Book of Acts did it. Done effectively, the enemy will never be able to stop it, just as he couldn't stop it in the first century.

God has no plan B. he doesn't need one. the world runs according to his sovereign will.
i also have a question in response. What would the plan B have been if jesus had failed to carry out his purpose?

(God never fails...so no way He would have failed) But if He had to have a plan B...remember the flood? Or the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? Thank goodness He got beyond 'regret' for our sake!!

hehe,

wonder how the endtimes here now will happen, fire from the sky, meteors/nukes/sun blocked out, bloodred moon...

it's gonna be awesome... in a tragically scary way, but you know

that is exactly my point. a plan B is only needed when your plan A has failed. since God is incapable of failing, there is no sense thinking that he would ever have a plan B

I agree with you Cman, we just disagree on what God's plan is exactly.:shade:

""So the Lord said, 'I will wipe mankind, whom I have created from the face of the earth........;...'. But Noaqh found favor in the eyes of the Lord." (Ge 6:7,8 NIV).

I never said, nor did I intend to hint, that God's plans for evangelism (or anything else) are subject to failure. He sometimes works in stages. God's Plan A in Genesis, for example, was only a part of His overall plan of creation and can only be thought a failure in human eyes. God knew in advance what would happen in Genesis and had everything lined up accordingly. So, when the time was right, He put Plan B, the next stage, into motion and that's how the story of Noah's Ark came about.
