Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
I realize your question is rhetorical, but technically the answer is yes since at least the arresting officers representing the Dearborn P.D., the Dearborn police chief, and the Dearborn mayor think [or thought] so.
ReplyDeleteMay the thrice holy Triune One true and living God be glorified through the legal proceedings to follow.
In Him,

I'm not sure even they really thought that.

ReplyDeleteinteresting response. It stopped me in my mental tracks.
Only retort to it from me would be these verses, which, you know all to well:::>
Act 4:17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name."
Act 4:18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Act 4:19 But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge,
Act 4:20 for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard."
Now, of course, no one was healed and none of the Muslims were flocking to these Christians as they were to Peter and John.
The underlying "Spirit" is what I am pointing too which is under assault now in this country.
Christians are being nudged into more and more confrontation.
If we do not get our eyes off the "political" means and onto the Lord's means, He will not move with Power and the Holy Spirit through us to confront the spirits behind actions like those sanctioned by the Mayor, the Chief of Police and those police officers carrying out the orders at Dearborn to put an end to the evangelical expression of True Grace and Peace!
Of course, expect God to move by His Spirit through Christ through us when we stand up and preach Christ under the authority of the Eternal Purpose or us to move through Christ by One Spirit to Our Heavenly Father to intercede for them and the Power of the Spirit will so move, one way and the other. Anything less is not of Faith and anything not of Faith is sin:::>
Rom 15:8 For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs,
Rom 15:9 and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name."
Rom 15:10 And again it is said, "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."
Rom 15:11 And again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples extol him."
Rom 15:12 And again Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope."
Rom 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
The question is now, here, with regard to these Christian brethren, are any of us satisfied with what those Christians did to expose the falsehoods of the Islamic faith and its corruption and the evil nature of Islam taking over the society in Dearborn, Michigan?
Rom 15:14 I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another.
TF, you asked:
ReplyDelete"Does anyone seriously think that these guys are doing anything wrong - anything for which they should be arrested?"
I do not think there was anything wrong nor anything seriously wrong with what they did that day!
What seems to me to be wrong is there hasn't, as yet, been much of a militant Biblical outcry against the actions of the Dearborn Police!
Maybe there has been and it hasn't been reported in the media?
I predict that the more silent the Church is and less active with our Eternal Purpose in public evangelism, the only mission we have been left with, now that the Holy Spirit has been sent to operate through us according to God's Will, not ours, this Church Christ washes, sanctifies and justifies, the more we will be abruptly and violently opposed as they were in Dearborn.
It's war time!
Our battle is fought and won in a prayer closet in secret first. When we war there, first, then the sparks will fly more and more here in the public discourse of societies around the world and we will in the Power of God silence those abrupt public outbursts against Christ and the Church.
Eph 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
Eph 3:15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
Eph 3:16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,
Eph 3:17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith--that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
Eph 3:18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
Eph 3:19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
