(Pixabay photo)<\/em><\/p>\n COGwriter<\/a><\/p>\n June 22 through 29 has been designated as Religious Freedom Week.<\/p>\n Most in the USA say they support freedom of religion, yet a proposed law would not respect that constitutional right:<\/p>\n The poll also revealed strong bipartisan agreement that churches and faith-based charities should not be required by law to hire people who oppose their religious beliefs. Only 20% of those surveyed suggested religious entities should be required to hire employees who disagree with their core beliefs.<\/p>\n \u201cThis research affirms that the American people overwhelmingly support the continued protection of the Constitutional right of freedom of religion, and oppose policies requiring churches and faith-based charities and organizations to compromise their deeply held religious beliefs,\u201d said Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit.org. \u201cYet, leaders in Washington, D.C., are aggressively pushing forward on legislative measures such as the mislabeled Equality Act, which specifically strips away religious freedom protections. In an era of hyper-partisanship, freedom of religion retains broad, bipartisan support among Democrats, Republicans and Independents.\u201d 06\/24\/21 https:\/\/harbingersdaily.com\/poll-overwhelming-majority-of-americans-support-religious-freedom\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n While many in the USA claim to support religious freedom, government actions and proposals have limited it and many believe, correctly, that the proposed ‘Equality Act’ is a real threat to religious rights.<\/p>\n Here something from a Roman Catholic bishop’s website:<\/p>\n Religious freedom allows the Church, and all religious communities, to live out their faith in public and to serve the good of all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here is something from the Protestant Franklin Graham:<\/p>\n The message to the church from certain influential, high-level people in government is loud and clear: Fully embrace the sexual revolution and redefine marriage and gender\u2014or else! The Equality Act is moving our nation in a direction that elevates government above God.<\/strong> They want to make the moral decisions, usurping His authority.<\/p>\n Under its broad reach, the Equality Act will:<\/p>\n This legislation would massively change our moral landscape and silence people of faith <\/strong>who do not agree with the secular values of the Left. <\/strong>But more than muzzling us, they want to force us to pivot\u2014to change direction\u2014instead of trusting God and standing on His Word. If we begin compromising on basic Biblical truths, it will lead to the end of Christianity in this country. 03\/24\/21 https:\/\/billygraham.org\/story\/franklin-graham-do-not-surrender-and-do-not-pivot\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Despite hopes and views of many, the end of religious freedom will hit the USA.<\/p>\n World Net Daily<\/em> (WND) posted comments from a Jewish group who believes that the so-called Equality Act will essentially result in a banning of the Bible:<\/p>\n … warns Yaakov Menken, the managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values. … the bill classifies virtually all venues, from restaurants to catering halls and funeral homes as “public accommodations,” subjecting them to a mandatory ban on division by sex.<\/p>\n “This directly forbids traditional Jewish practice in any such location,” he said.<\/p>\n “Lest you imagine that such a Jewish event would be protected by its religious nature, the act goes out of its way \u2014 for the first time in history \u2014 to prohibit recourse to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). That law was specifically to shield religious practice from ‘laws \u2018neutral\u2019 toward religion [which] may burden religious exercise as surely as laws intended to interfere with religious exercise,'” Menken said.<\/p>\n “Stripping this protection from religious practice cannot be described as incidental. The Equality Act claims the notion that marriage is between a man and a woman is merely a ‘sex stereotype,’ and that opposition to same-sex marriage is inherently discriminatory. Any ‘discrimination’ on the basis of ‘gender identity’ is likewise prohibited, even in the private sector,” said Menken.<\/p>\n “Thus, the Equality Act explicitly targets the Bible, calling it a bigoted document filled with discriminatory stereotypes. These include the idea that male and female sexes are biological, not psychological (Genesis 1:27), created with procreation in mind (1:28), and that marriage is the unique, holy contract between man and woman forming the environment in which that procreation is intended to take place (2:24). And one cannot forget that which the Bible proscribes as an ‘abomination’ in Leviticus 18:22. …” 03\/22\/21 https:\/\/www.wnd.com\/2021\/03\/holy-bible-blasted-bigoted-document-equality-act-explicitly-targets-scripture\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I have repeatedly warned about the Equality Act.<\/p>\n Here are some more comments from Yaakov Menken:<\/p>\n The Founding Fathers recognized freedom of expression and religious liberty as core elements of diversity and tolerance. Now, nearly 250 years later, Congress is acting to stamp them out, ushering in a new era of government-sanctioned anti-religious bigotry. …<\/p>\n With the Equality Act, Congress is waging a legislative effort to prohibit the next Siyum<\/em>, scheduled to take place in June 2027, and other such \u201cdiscriminatory\u201d violations of human rights. Under the Act, observant Jews will no longer be legally permitted to gather to celebrate religious education, or any other occasion, in accordance with their beliefs.<\/p>\n The reason is simple: not only prayer services, but family lifecycle events of all kinds \u2014 from circumcisions to bar mitzvahs to weddings to funerals \u2014 are commonly divided by biological sex in traditional Orthodox Judaism. This is true whether or not ceremonies are held in synagogues. …<\/p>\n The Siyum <\/em>held on New Year\u2019s Day 2020 brought a level of decorum unheard of in a sports stadium: an absence of fights, drunkenness, and disorderly conduct. Police, who maintained a high level of security, said they never felt such appreciation from the public as they did then. Combined with its educational focus, the celebration exhibited values that America has long cherished.<\/p>\n Congress, to the contrary, would now grant antisemites a powerful legal tool with which to prevent such public displays in the future. Yet President Biden has committed to putting his name to it. If bigots were bent on eliminating Orthodox Judaism from American soil, it is difficult to imagine a more ruthlessly efficient tool than the Equality Act. https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/03\/23\/the-equality-act-would-legalize-religious-bigotry\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Equality Act is anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, and anti-Bible.<\/p>\n Here is something from my book Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction<\/a>:<\/p>\n Here is what the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s top priority is:<\/p>\n The Equality Act is the best vehicle for ensuring equal rights under the law for LGBTQ+ Americans, and will guarantee that LGBTQ+ individuals are protected under existing civil rights laws. Biden will make enactment of the Equality Act during his first 100 days as President a top legislative priority<\/strong>. Biden will also direct his Cabinet to ensure immediate and full enforcement of the Equality Act across all federal departments and agencies. \u2026 End the misuse of broad exemptions to discriminate. <\/strong>Religious freedom is a fundamental American value. But states have inappropriately used broad exemptions to allow businesses, medical providers, social service agencies, state and local government officials, and others to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people. Guaranteeing transgender students have access to facilities based on their gender identity\u2026 <\/strong>Biden will reverse Trump\u2019s policies misusing these broad exemptions and fight so that no one is turned away from a business or refused service by a government official just because of who they are or who they love. ( The Biden Plan to Advance LGBTQ+ Equality in America and Around the World. JoeBiden.com accessed 10\/16\/20)<\/p>\n The above is a concern to many people who believe that they will be discriminated against if they hold to various religious and\/or biblical beliefs on sexuality. Claiming religious freedom is \u201ca fundamental American value\u201d (which is clearly stated in the U.S. Constitution) while at the same time saying it must be not allowed for certain matters is wrong, insincere, and hypocritical.<\/p>\n The Bible, KJV translation, predicts the end of \u201can hypocritical nation\u201d (Isaiah 10:5-11).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Furthermore, because the Bible teaches that homosexuality is an abomination (Leviticus 18:23; 20:13) and that homosexuals can change (1 Corinthians 6:9-11), and the current LGBTQ+ propaganda does not want that to be considered, about three years ago a bill was introduced in California that, if taken to its logical conclusion, would ban the Bible.<\/p>\n We also made a video that discusses it and put that on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n Could we see a ban of the Holy Bible in North America? Have there been partial bans proposed and enforced by government officials in Canada? Do any USA politicians consider any biblical teachings as fraudulent and hence banning them is NOT a violation of the 1st amendment to the Constitution of the USA? Are there risks associated with AB 2943? Have politicians like Hillary Clinton and California Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi called for long-held religious beliefs to change and \u201cevolve with the times\u201d? What about Jude 1:3 and 2 Timothy 3:14? Are there biblical prophecies about not being able to hear the word of God? Might we see more restrictions on explaining teachings of the Bible on the Internet and other forms of media? What are some of the verses that various government people do not want made public? Dr. Thiel provides facts on these issues and more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here is a link: Banning the Bible?<\/a><\/p>\n While the USA likes to act like it is the bastion of free speech and freedom of religion, more and more restrictions keep getting proposed. And, in our case, our most recently uploaded video to YouTube was censored and removed (details are here: YouTube censors and removes BNP video: Disney\u2019s abominable promotions!<\/a>).<\/p>\n Additionally, it should be pointed out that Canada has a de facto<\/em> ban on parts of the Bible.<\/p>\n Related to that, the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy<\/a> YouTube channel:<\/p>\n In 2017, Lauri Skori of the Battle River School board told a religious school in Alberta, Canada that it could not teach\/read certain portions of the Bible. In 2002, a court in Canada ruled against one who referred to certain scriptures that some homosexuals objected to. In 2017, there was \u201cAn Act to Amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and Criminal Code\u201d related to those who wish to be considered transgendered. Government officials in Canada and elsewhere have been ruling against the Bible. Is any of this prophesied? Will this get worse? What was the prophet Amos inspired to write?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Here is a link to our video: Canadian censoring of the Bible<\/a>.<\/p>\n No government of this world gave the Bible–God did! See also: Who Gave the World the Bible? The Canon: Why do we have the books we now do in the Bible? Is the Bible complete?<\/a><\/p>\n No government of this world has the right to censor the Bible.<\/p>\n Yet, various ones want to make quoting and\/or believing parts of the Bible a crime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Bible warns against the rise of despisers of good in the last days:<\/p>\n Those of us who hold to the idea that sexual relationships are only to be between a man married to a woman are considered to have “ugly narrow-mindedness” by supporters of the LGBTQ movement.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the LGBTQ supporting crowd does not want people to believe the following:<\/p>\n The Equality Act is another step towards eliminating religious freedom in the USA.<\/p>\n The Bible not only warns that homosexuality, lesbianism, and cross-dressing are wrong, it also condemns those who condone all forms of sexual immorality:<\/p>\n 5<\/strong> A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman\u2019s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 22:5)<\/p>\n In Canada, quoting parts of Romans 1 in certain ways is essentially banned (watch Canadian censoring of the Bible<\/a><\/span>).<\/p>\n The Bible warns that more censorship is coming:<\/p>\n 11 \u201cBehold, the days are coming,\u201d says the Lord God, As many realize, in order to protect the rights of the citizens of the USA nation to speak even against the government, the Bill of Rights<\/em> came into effect as Constitutional Amendments on December 15, 1791. Here is the first amendment:<\/p>\n But now we see laws that do respect secular religion as well as those against freedom of speech and even religious speech (e.g. watch: Biden-Harris & Hate Speech<\/a>).<\/p>\n The Bible is not a book that should be censored.<\/p>\n It teaches:<\/p>\n 1 Cry aloud, spare not; The work of God needs to be done now as Jesus<\/a> said:<\/p>\n 4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.<\/strong> (John 9:4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The time to do the work is now, while we still can do it! We are seeing more and more signs that “the night is coming when no one can work.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n That is part of why we in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> are preparing for the \u2018short work\u2019 (Romans 9:28) and the coming \u2018famine of the word<\/a>.\u2019<\/p>\n A famine of the word is coming–and we are seeing Big Tech and governments already implementing restrictions.<\/p>\n Yet while we can, Philadelphian Christians <\/a>will strive to go through the doors that Christ opens to proclaim the Kingdom of God<\/a> (2 Corinthians 2:12; 1 Corinthians 16:8-9; Colossians 4:2-4) and do the work.<\/p>\n Philadelphia means “love of the brethren.” It is LOVE to properly teach what the Bible teaches, even if some group calls that “ugly narrow-mindedness.”<\/p>\n We in the Continuing<\/em> Church of God<\/a> will teach and stand up for the truth (watch also the short introduction to our YouTube channel: ContinuingCOG Channel<\/a>), despite realizing that the \u2018famine of the word\u2019 that the prophet Amos referred to is coming. We must do the work and persevere to the end–despite government restrictions and others who do not truly respect the Bible.<\/p>\n Some items of possibly related interest may include: Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction<\/a> Can the USA survive two full presidential terms?
