I spent a few hours at the home of a friend for a private gathering of politicians and key staffers from both parties.
Unbeknownst to me was a City Councilman from the Democrat Party sitting across the table from where I was having a conversation with someone else.
After observing our conversation, he asked if he could move closer and participate.
Of course.
He then asked …
Councilman: “How does your philosophy address what the homosexual does in his bedroom?”
Me: “My theology doesn’t empower the State to rule in a bedroom, but that misses the point.”
Me: “The State forces me to support public education via my property tax. That’s theft and immoral on its face. … Then homosexual Assemblyman Corey Jackson leaves his bedroom in Moreno Valley and flies to Sacramento Monday morning and writes AB-1078, forcing Christians in public schools to be taught LGBT values in K-12.”
“That is what I have a problem with. It doesn’t matter that Christians just elected a believer to the Grossmont Union High School Board. The school board and Christian families must submit to Corey Jackson’s AB 1078.”
Councilman: … Crickets.
If I can’t take my neighbor’s property by force and redistribute it, why can a legislator? (I thought he derived his just powers from the consent of the governed.)
Does the Bible give us two ethics? One for the magistrate and another for us?
Are we back to ‘Divine Right of Kings’?
If the law was moral and just wouldn’t the State defend my property (8th Commandment) and let parents (5th Commandment) choose where and how to educate their children? Wouldn’t that eliminate the fight over State Education?
Asking for a friend.🤓
