In California, the left-wing radical agenda is so important that the state has refused to place and enforce any limitations on protesters, even when the protests have turned violent. In early July, the state banned singing and chanting during both indoor and outdoor religious services but issued no similar order regarding protests. MORE HERE
11 Comments on California County Reaches New Low in Cracking Down on Churches
Comments are closed.
It is always futile to try to reason with the insanely obsessed.
I thought the DOJ had warned the states about such actions.
Maybe it was just another one of those ‘red line’ things.
Yep, a new ‘low’. The left is defined by ‘new lows’. places they are in power are constantly discovering ‘new lows’.
Decline, degeneracy and deterioration are all the marks of leftism.
In the good old days Santa Clara County was totally conservative. What flipped it was Globalism. Watched it happen.
…so, anyone make a public records request to see if they sent any public employees to a mosque? To a synagogue? To black masses or druidical groves?
Or are they investigating Christians ONLY?
…sure would be nice if these weak-tea universalist congregations would grow some ballz and ask these questions, since our mostly comatose DOJ clearly isn’t doing so…
…they really ought to be saying, in the most Christian way possible, “Screw You” to the governor.
Just like the apostles said, in the nicest way possible, “Screw You”.
To a governor.
“25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.”
Acts 5:25-29
Singing is NOT optional in Christian services, it is commanded by GOD.
And that is NOT up to debate in Santa Clara County, or anywhere ELSE man holds sway…
“2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.”
Psalm 100:2-4
…and, as long as we’re on the subject…

Colossians 3:16

James 5:13
…there’s a word that keeps repeating there, can’t put my finger on it, but its almost like the Lord is telling His followers to do something specific, some word that starts with an “S”…
…As when the Romans tried to destroy Christianity, as when the cult of Sol Invictus tries to destroy Christianity, as when the Communist be they in China, Russia, or the United States tried to destroy Christianity, there’s a choice to be made.
You can do as the Bible says, contimue to praise Him with singing as the Word that came to Earth incarnate commanded;
Or you can do as Man says, cease singing at once, disband from His house, and go whisper praises to Him from behind your mask in the deepest corner of your basement so Man doesn’t hear them and become angry.
It’s your choice.
But if your choice is to follow the dictates of Man, you may as well not praise the Lord, since you are disobeying Him anyway, and just go kneel for black lives and white lies at the Statehouse instead.
For in that choice you have already chosen Mammon.
…good luck with that.
The founders of the early Church were killed, to a man, for their faith, in some of the most unpleasant ways Man could devise, but they stood firm no matter the torment.
Because they believed.
They stood in a hurricane, and won THE Victory as a reward, and gave us the Church that Man has us scared to enter today.
If those who would follow him today cannot stand in an ill wind, a tempest in a teapot, and praise the Lord anyway, perhaps they should simply disband and take the Mark on their forehead now, for their weak faith does not impress the Lord…
“And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.”
Luke 16:15
…don’t bother putting on a show for the Lord.
…It’s not fooling ANYONE.
Either worship Him as He commands, or don’t worship Him at all.
Because if you follow this mandate, all you’re kneeling to is the court house.
And I don’t think there’s any salvation to be had THERE…
The leaders of most churches are corrupt cowards. ALL members of churches should be engaged in civil disobedience.
hemp-penalty for spying is well known
The ugly truth about churches has been there for years. People ignore churches serving government and themselves first. Gotta have that tax exempt status, don’t cha know! WTF??
“Or are they investigating Christians ONLY?”
Yes, they are investigating Christians only.
Either that or the Muslims are the most compliant people in the nation since there is never a mention of them anywhere by anyone.
So we’re dissecting parts of the first amendment we find objectionable now, and leaving the lying press alone, huh?
Time to defend our Constitution, all of it, from all enemies, both foreign & domestic.
Oddly enough, the only part they have no problem with is the 16th amendment…
