Showing Original Post only (View all)Perhaps that devout Christian Kim Davis should know about Matthew 22:21? [View all]
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's" - Matthew 22:21See, this quote from Jesus himself is very important right now.
It, from the mouth of Christ himself is a statement of such clarity to mean that there is a distinct separation of Gods rule and the rule of Man.
Here's another...
"My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But now (or 'as it is') my kingdom is not from the world" (John 18:36)
Oh look at that, another quote from Jesus himself which basically points out that "Hey, Gods kingdom is separate from that of man's, and since I'm here in man's kingdom, even I have to follow the rules here so I'm going to go die for your sins now without resisting. Thanks."
So Kim, you're under man's law at this moment. And even Christ himself acknowledges that it's important to follow the rules under the law that you're under. If you were in the UK, Jesus would have you follow their laws, if you were in Iran, he'd have you follow theirs.
No one is telling you to renounce your faith. They're just telling you to do your job. Even Jesus wants you to just do your job. So stop judging people in the name of God (which, BTW he told us Christians not to do. leave the judgment part to God mkay?).
And this goes for all Christians, its really simple guys.. "Love one another." that's all you should do. no judgment, no control, no ruling others. Just love one another.
TL;DR: Kim Davis you're doing it wrong. So wrong.
