I am tired of constantly hearing from Christians about how bad things are, particularly the spread of abortion, homosexuality, divorce, and the increasing number of same-sex marriages. Brothers and Sister in Christ it is not going to help your feelings nor your frustrations without doing something about it now regardless of how busy you are.

Bradlee Dean, a writer for NewsWithViews.com. just wrote an article, entitled, "They Just Should Sing Louder", which can be accessed by clicking on the following link:

http://newswithviews.com/Bradlee/dean224.htm.

After reading it I felt like I would like to write my own excerpted version.

Therefore, if you don't stop your griping and complaining about these issues but won't take the time to speak out, this is what I feel will happen to you and how you would respond.

First they came for prayer in school, and I did not speak out—because I was not acknowledgeable about how the Supreme Court of the United States could make ungodly and immoral decisions

Then they came to murder the unborn in their mother’s womb, and I did not speak out— because I was not an unborn child and never dreamed that prochoice could include murdering your unborn child.

Then they came for the legalization of two men or two woman getting "married" to upend America’s sovereignty and I did not speak out because I did not want to be called a hater or a bigot.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me, because I never spoke out for anyone else, always too busy doing something else and half of what I was doing did not give nor honor God's glory but was for my own selfish reasons' (words in bold are mine).

If we are willing to go to war and die for what will happen because the situation got so badly out of control, like the Revolutionary War, wouldn't it be better to confront the issues now while you, your sons and daughters are still alive before a war breaks out, possibly killing some of them by now taking the time to deal with them. One day you will be forced to take the time so why not do it now on a voluntary basis?

Prayer has not been removed from schools. What has been removed is the government leading our children in prayer. Do you want a government official deciding how your child is going to pray 5 days of the week or is that your decision?

Then they came to murder the unborn in their mother’s womb, and I did not speak out— because I was not an unborn child and never dreamed that prochoice could include murdering your unborn child.

"They" are not coming to murder unborn children. This is a misstatement of what abortion is.

Then they came for the legalization of two men or two woman getting "married" to upend America’s sovereignty and I did not speak out because I did not want to be called a hater or a bigot.

Just don't marry someone of the same sex. You'll be fine.

You don't want to be called a "hater or a bigot", but you are willing to "go to war" against people for not sharing your beliefs?

Amen on that last one, Tink. Although I really must disagree with you on the abortion part. If it isn't disposing of a child before he/she can come out into the world, what is it, then?

I was objecting to the "They came to" part. I acknowledge what abortion is (and I'm not really in favor of it), but it makes it sound like some group shows up to abort pregnancies and that's not what goes on in the US.

Ironic isn't it?

Martin Niemöller is the author of the original and those who eventually came for him were Christian Nationalists, exactly what the OP seems to support.

Will they ever learn? When the Church and State get in bed what rises up sooner or later becomes a monster carrying the flag overhead and the cross in front and with morality nowhere to be found.

It is selling your soul in an attempt to make others do what you want. An attempt that most often does not even have short term success.

They (cultural Marxists) are coming to murder the unborn, defile traditional marriage, outlaw Christianity and more. Going to war to protect life and ones religion from being outlawed or defiled is morally permissible, the methods of waging that war is debatable, but war itself must be waged in order to ensure a moral and well ordered society. As Mussolini so aptly put it: "War alone raises to its highest tension all human energies and imposes the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to make it."
All wars for the preservation of life are just, and must be waged, evil cannot be permitted to continue.

Is there a running list of members?

are coming to murder the unborn

Abortion is not forced upon people.

defile traditional marriage

You mean a marriage in which a woman is essentially property? A marriage for the purposes of securing a treaty? A marriage which requires both people to be of the same race? Which "tradition" are you saying is being defiled?

outlaw Christianity

Not even close.

Yes there is a membership list. Feminists, homosexual activists, liberals, socialists, communists, moral relativists, Hollywood, the news media...

I meant a real list, not a list that people have assumed are doing things that they really aren't doing. Thanks.

Abortion is forced upon us, the courts ruled that abortion must be available, this is against the wishes of the people.

And yet nobody is required to get an abortion.

And you mean against the wishes of some of the people. Rights are not subject to the will of the people and the Supreme Court asserted that this was a right.

Traditional marriage of one man and one woman.

That's one option for marriage. What about the tradition of one man and many women? Long tradition in some areas. Selecting one as the "tradition that must be kept" with the only apparent justification that it's the one you like is not enough justification.

The family structure is under attack, and yes even mixed race marriages, which need to be made illegal again as the Bible says they should be, Deuteronomy 7, Ezra 9-10. This has been under attack for decades, by the Marxists.

Quoting this for later. I keep seeing people assert that being against mixed-race marriages is not a Biblical principle, yet here it is.

Once again, rights are not subject to the will of the people. Your religion doesn't get to decide what governs morality for everyone. Freedom of Religion, not freedom to force your version of your religion on the country.

It's hard to see someone as an innocent victim of tyranny when you are salivating about the wars you will bring and proudly announcing racist segregation.
It is disgusting. Thank you for saying so.

Didn't they hang Mussolini's corpse upside down and beat it like a bloated Italian pinata?

18. There exists no such thing as rights or privileges under the Laws of Nature.
The deer being stalked by a hungry lion has no right to life. However, he may
purchase life by obedience to nature ordained instincts for vigilance and flight.
Similarly, men have no rights to life, liberty or happiness. These circumstances
may be purchased by oneself, by ones family, by ones tribe or by ones ancestors,
but they are nonetheless purchases and are not rights. Furthermore, the value of
these purchases can only be maintained through vigilance and obedience to
Natural Law.- 88 Precepts David Lane

If you want a list of people, well I don't have a list with millions of names. Those involved in Marxism ae identified by their ideological beliefs and actions. My list above is sufficient for you to investigate and find the names you are looking for.

White Western culture has always been one man and one woman. That is confirmed by God, and so it is sufficient.

Abortion has been forced upon us, by corrupt judges, against the will of the people, the majority of the people. If a vote was held, abortion would be outlawed.

yes the communists did that. They also murdered over 100 million people and enslaved just as many.
