Rockingham magistrate resigns over same-sex marriage
Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "Rockingham magistrate
resigns over same-sex marriage.
Story
Good for him - Its always awesome to
see someone unwilling to compromise
their faith in the Lord..."
Praise God. He
loses his job but he will be
rewarded in heaven.
What a rare thing, indeed--a
magistrate! Now, he can go get an
honest job.
And every one that hath forsaken
houses, or brethren, or sisters, or
father, or mother, or wife, or
children, or lands, for my name’s
sake, shall receive an hundredfold,
and shall inherit everlasting life.
But many that are first shall be
last; and the last shall be first
[Matt. 19:29–30].
"There is to be a reward for the
saved ones who have sacrificed for
Jesus’ sake. Many an unknown saint,
of whom the world has not heard,
will be given first place in His
presence someday. In that day I
believe that many outstanding
Christian leaders who receive wide
acclaim in this life will be ignored
while many unknown saints of God
will be rewarded. What a glorious,
wonderful picture this presents to
us!"
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "I would not. I would neither perform such marriages in a same way some doctors do not perform abortions. If it would cost me my job it would cost me my job, but I would not quit."
It did cost
him his job. That's the point. Lev
18:22, 20:13, 1 Ki 14:24, Ro 1:24,
26, 27
God has officially been kicked out
of the public schools and now his
followers are being kicked out of
the workplace. God is gracious. If
he's asked to leave, he will. His
followers are gracious. If they are
asked to leave, they will (Phil.
3:10; 1 Pet. 2:20, 21).
"Christianity and homosexuality are
mutually exclusive...Either
Christianity or homosexuality will
be in the closet." ~ Bob Enyart
Response to comment [from an atheist]: "You don't have a right to hold on to a job where you refuse to perform your job duties..."
The magistrate
is to judge rightly. This justice
system (just a system [Enyart])
won't let him do that. Laws come
from God not man.
We've "progressed" beyond God (Isa
5:20).
