Regardless of where anybody stands on this issue before a couple of days ago, now, BAIL IS NOT AVAILABLE to her. The ONLY way she will be released, is if she agrees to sign marriage licenses for those who commit homosexual acts. I don't even believe she can resign and be released. I'd like to know how the gov. is acting different than the the Spanish Inquisition? They are FORCING her, on threat of continual incarceration, to denounce her Christianity.
I see what your saying... And I previously commented on specifically WHY she doesn't get bail for contempt of court, so won't recount that here. I will repeat what I said before, she doesn't have to RENOUNCE her christianity if someone would SHOW HER her own mistake about thinking SHE IS PERSONALLY APPROVING ANY of the documents she records. What I am suggesting is a practical, BIBLICALLY SOUND, win/win solution which would be somewhat embarrassing for Davis in the short run.... but would go a long way to un-doing much of the harm the issue has produced.
I do think it is VERY IMPORTANT to be having these conversation because things are going to get worse.... but I also think it is very important to recognize the controversy fully before deciding to BE A CHRISTIAN MARTYR. Because in the Davis case... she isn't... she is a CLERK who won't do her job... who is claiming she doesn't have to because she is Christian.
Now would be a good time for many people to make sure they have formed there BELIEFS and world view according to the whole counsel of God and not just hung a conviction on some particular portion of scripture. God is under NO obligation to help us and indicates He may not.... when we are rebellious, foolish, or just WRONG.
Anyone can take a stand for there beliefs.... including WRONG BELIEFS.... and be supported by others for doing it. I am less concerned about the "public opinion" or the "Christian crowd"... I am most personally concerned about WHAT GOD approves regarding our conduct in worldly concerns.
