Has Religious Freedom Gone Wrong in America?

What has gone wrong in America is that people behind pulpits are not standing up for what is right and not speaking against sin.

I read an article by a Jewish leader who was trying to explain how religious freedom has gone wrong in America.

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John 3:20For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

The Bible states that Jews have been blinded to the truth. This is why Christians should evaluate everything they read or hear in light of the Word.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Romans 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

He disagreed with a woman-elected member of a School Board because she lodged a complaint that launched the investigation of a teacher who played a Disney film with a gay character for her class of fifth graders in Florida.

He disagreed with her because she stated God put her in that office, which he believed was somehow making her a prophet.

He says that he believes God has a say in our personal lives, but then goes on to say she was acting as a prophet, declaring with certainty God’s plan for her or anyone else.

Just because she lodged a complaint that launched the investigation of a teacher and believed she was put in office by God does not mean she was prophesying or making her a prophet.

I believe that was a lame evaluation of that woman. I believe his final poor argument was to silence the conservative view and to say the conservative view has shifted to a fight, not to secure their free expression, but to secure the absence of those with whom they disagree.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

The conservative view is to stop indoctrinating young children with ideas that the Bible says are sinful. I believe he should read his Bible; In the Old and New Testaments, God calls that way of life a sin.

He should read the Florida law signed last year by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The law in Florida is legislation, signed in the previous year by Gov. Ron DeSantis, banning specific instructions about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom. I believe this film would fall under this law.

The conservative woman had a right to complain about the teacher, and doing so doesn’t make her a prophet but a concerned citizen about what is being taught to children in a Florida school.

It’s sad when any religious leader would oppose the person who was trying to protect children and try to make out that what she was doing was against religious freedom.

Indoctrinating children with sinful lifestyles has nothing to do with religious freedom but is just plain common decency.

Psalms 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Luke 17:2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

The problem with America is religious leaders who don’t speak against sin and other spiritual leaders who chastise those who do speak out.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Proverbs 12:19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.

Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
