Was Henry VIII a Christian though? 1 Cor. 6:9-11 would say no. He was an adulterer and no adulterer will inherit the kingdom. A good tree cannot bear corrupt fruit. Any person that you see that is a liar, a thief, an sexual pervert and so forth that calls themselves "Christian" is no more than a wolf in sheep's clothing. Jesus said that we would know who's who in the zoo by their fruits. Thankfully, someone like you is up front about those things so that there is no guessing which side you're on. It's a lot more difficult when the person is lying.<br /><br />Truthfully, it has been Spirit filled Christians that have advocated that all men are created equal. John Adams did not agree with slavery and he was a Christian. Neither did Benjamin Rush. Thomas Jefferson, otoh, was a deist and not only owned slaves but fathered some children by them. He is often perversely exalted by atheists who think these points stand with what these men believed. <br /><br />The First Amendment not only ensures that you can believe what you want to believe but it also ensures that I can. My religion calls me to go and spread the good news of Jesus Christ and to call men to repentance. Because of the First Amendment, I can do that. And because of the First Amendment, you can go out at Mardi Gras and share your message. The problem is that if you had control of the government, you would deny those rights to the Christians just as you did when you gained control the public school system. All other religious points of view were squelched with the exception of one - atheism.<br /><br />Veraverandoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842782295553627712noreply@blogger.com
