Pretty easy to see the day soon arriving when believers will not be able to buy and sell.
If FOCA is enacted it is time to rebel. If persecution begins so be it.
Jesus answered this question for us in very clear terms. "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's."
What is Caesar's (Obama's)? Obama is entitled to any taxes demanded, since he has unlimited force available to take from us. Otherwise, our faith, our trust, our loyalty, and our hearts belong to God. We own Obama nothing beyond what he, the IRS, and his Civilian Security Force can take by force. We owe God everything we have to offer.
The Founding Fathers installed language in the Declaration keyed back to these Biblical instructions, to wit:
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.”
We ARE told to be long-suffering.
But we are also told that at some point, we have a duty to resist. Determining that point is the hard part.
And never forget that America was BORN in rebellion.
My greatest fear is that, after over 100+ years of government school indoctrination and the influx of millions of illegals, we are no longer the same people who threw of George, III and the next revolution — if one there be —will NOT end as well as the first.
