Thank you for this info!! Appreciate the good news, at article’s end, regarding the billboards.
Pinging mc.
See post #39.
(I thought the same thing as you.)
The Democrat mayor does not understand the language of America.
Por favor arregle el documento fundamentalmente defectuoso. No problemo.
Amendment I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances... except when the speech is “divisive” or controversial.
Fixed it. Easy peasy.
Democrats are political arsonists, burning the nation to the ground before our very eyes. Looking forward to the day when this mayor is, as Shakespeare put it, “hoist by his own petard.”
Excuse me, but Pastor Jeffres didn't back down on anything. The billboard company took down the billboards after they were pressured by the mayor. The church tried to change the words but the billboard company still refused to put them back up.
Dallas is the Yang (Yin-Yang) of Forth Worth. FW is still conservative.
The Dallas Morning News is a left wing paper and Dallas Mayor is a left wing Dem.
Saw on FNC that Jefress said the 2 billboards were taken down by the company, but another billboard company now has 20 up with his message!
Two billboards taken down.
Twenty more put up by another billboard company.
I don’t see how that equates to Jefress backing down.
Agree completely!!
See post 41 upthread. ;-)
Excuse me! Please scroll entire thread. Hint: see post 41.
Would a billboard announcing “America Is Not A Christian Nation” be divisive? Why is the complaint of the mayor not divisive?
Divisive is defined as something the Left doesn’t like.
I dont recall Jesus telling anyone to be proud of themselves or anything they thought or did.
If chrstianity is true, then everyone in the world should be chrstian, regardless of ethnicity or country. If (as I maintain) it is not, then no one should be.
Either way the religious beliefs of the founders of any country are irrelevant.
Thanks.
I read that too but felt like the second company was a white knight swooping in to save the day (a heck of a save too!)...not the church. Maybe there was something in the contract that allowed the billboard company to break the contract, I don’t know. If Jeffries had a reasonable chance to successfully sue, he should’ve held the billboard company’s feet to the fire. We gotta stop turning the other cheek, especially for things we really believe in.
That motto is effectively an obsolete artifact of a bygone era. A Christian nation does not murder its unborn to the tune of 60 million since 1973. I would say the US used to have Christian leanings. Today, not so much.
Why would you have us all accept blame for the evil of others? I wish to control my own life and refuse to accept your sad defeatist mindset. Did you want to declare yourself a prophet or are you only preaching hopelessness?
They need to put the billboards up on private land, just as big. In fact every Christian property is brimming with opportunity to have a message about Jesus beaming from it. Don’t let your property go to waste. Use that space to proclaim the Gospel!
