[Lawyer Ordered To Stop Praying For Help With Trial On Facebook by L.P. Phillips cbslocal.com Dallas] "Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the right to a fair trial, and Facebook postings have stirred-up a hornet’s nest in Ellis County.

It starts with Waxahachie lawyer Mark Griffith, who doesn’t mind telling anyone he prays for help before court, during a trial and on Facebook.

It’s the Facebook part that is at issue, another new twist in the odd world that social media has created.

Twice, in separate trials, the Ellis County District Attorney’s office has convinced judges to stop Griffith from posting running commentary of a trial in his prayers on Facebook.

“No lawyer is allowed to make running commentary in the public forum regarding witnesses, the character of witnesses, the opinion of the guilt or innocence of defendants or suspects in criminal cases.” said Patrick Wilson, Ellis County District Attorney. He claims it’s basic legal ethics.

The argument doesn’t hold water with Griffith. He contends his office has a history of tweaking the DA in criminal cases, and he sees the argument over his prayers on Facebook as an effort by the District Attorney’s office to throw him off balance..."

The Horn

...I wish they [Christians] would stop whining about nothing .

I don't know any Christians whining (your word) about increased censorship and persecution (1 Cor. 12:26; Phil. 1:29, Ac 5:41).

The Horn

Patrick Jane, you're missing the point. The fact that Christians are the majority and have most of the power etc totally contradicts the ludicrous claim that Christians are being "persecuted " in America.

America is post-Christian (Mt 7:14).

Crucible

[To a lib'] You all know exactly what you all are doing-- the manipulation is damnable.

They don't overcome (Rev. 2:7) because they can't get over being offended by the gospel or their lot in life (Jn 6:67).

You have never faced persecution in your life and neither have liberals at large.

Why would they? They're headed in the same direction as Satan.

“A. Ezekiel condemns the false prophets (13:1–23).

1. The male prophets (13:1–16)

b. Their punishment (13:8–9, 11–15): God’s wrath will crash down upon them like great hailstones.

2. The female prophets (13:17–23)

a. Their perversions (13:17–20, 22): Prompted by greed, they deceive the people by their magic charms and veils.

b. Their punishment (13:21, 23): God will rescue the people from their grasp.” Willmington, H. L. (1999). The Outline Bible (Eze 13:1–21). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers.

[Jer 23:16]

“I. TENTH SERMON (23:1–40)

A. Regarding Judah’s politicians (23:1–8)

1. The ruthless (23:1–2): Jeremiah condemns Judah’s godless shepherds, who destroy and scatter their flocks.

2. The responsible (23:3–4): God appoints faithful leaders to govern his people.

c. Idolatry (23:13–14): The prophets of Jerusalem are worse than the evil prophets of Samaria.

d. Falsely representing God (23:16–32)

(1) During the day (23:16–24): They claim he speaks through them, but they make up the words.

(2) During the night (23:25–32): They tell false dreams, telling lies in God’s name.

e. Ridiculing Jeremiah, making light of God’s warnings about judgment (23:33–38): People use the Lord’s name to give authority to their own ideas.

2. Their punishment (23:12, 15, 39–40)

a. Their paths are made dark and slippery (23:12) : They are chased till they fall.

b. They are fed with bitterness and are given poison to drink (23:15) : It is their fault that wickedness fills the land.

c. They are forever cast out of God’s sight (23:39–40): They are an object of ridicule throughout the ages.” Willmington, H. L. (1999). The Outline Bible (Je 23–25). Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House Publishers.

Eph 4:14

But to the wicked God says:

“What right have you to declare My statutes,

Or take My covenant in your mouth,

Seeing you hate instruction

And cast My words behind you?

When you saw a thief, you consented with him,

And have been a partaker with adulterers.

You give your mouth to evil,

And your tongue frames deceit.

You sit and speak against your brother;

You slander your own mother’s son.

These things you have done, and I kept silent;

You thought that I was altogether like you;

But I will rebuke you,

And set them in order before your eyes. Ps 50:16–21

[John 16:13]

“Jn 16:13 all truth. This verse, like 14:26, points to the supernatural revelation of all truth by which God has revealed Himself in Christ (vv. 14, 15), particularly. This is the subject of the inspired NT writings.” MacArthur, J., Jr. (Ed.). (1997). The MacArthur Study Bible (electronic ed., p. 1617). Nashville, TN: Word Pub.

My wife and I are about to start trying for a baby (by about I mean within the next 6 months, she means within the next six weeks). I was put in charge of making sure we have all the medical coverage that is needed. I came to the conclusion that if the GOP succeeds at banning abortion after a certain time period, we need to plan to be in some other country during the last month or 2 of the pregnancy just in case something goes wrong.
