This is why you do not want socialistic programs ran by the federal government. They want to provide a need in exchange for liberty to indoctrinate your children. It is Satan's attempt to speed up the immoral decay of the nation.


The White House says the bill would cut "child care spending on young children by more than half" and provide "free preschool for all 3- and 4-year old children."

The controversy involves language within the House-passed bill that would require preschool and child care facilities to abide by federal nondiscrimination laws related to gender identity and sexual orientation. This means, critics say, that faith-based facilities that affirm biblical beliefs on marriage and gender would not be able to participate because they do not hold to LGBT ideology.



The Build Back Better bill would represent a change in how faith-based child care centers receive funding. Currently, they are not bound by federal nondiscrimination laws.

Christians are slaves. They will take your money in taxes to raise their kids. It was foolish to let them have an inch. Now if your kids are not raised to embrace LGBTQ, CRT, and all the other Leftist ideology you will be othered.

Luke 9:5 If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

Looks pretty clear to me that we are not welcome here anymore.

We are already "othered." If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

Tell that to those who have married the world. The apostasy is all about compromising with the world, with Balaam, with Jezebel, denying the Lord's name and not holding fast His word.

I suggest that "real" faith-based child care would place enough faith in God to supply their needs and never even think about or consider applying for federal assistance.

Local churches, families, and communities should be the limit of places to aquire 'assistance'.

Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats? 7 Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called?

Knowing this to be the eventual outcome, why do we entangle ourselves...???

Oh I can see the ACLJ or ADF going after this one. God knows the ACLU won't.

Well then we do what the founders did. Fight. Civil Disobedience first, violence as a last resort. But, we must be willing to take the consequences with either of those, and so wisdom from God must guide us in that. But, the Founders fought. MLK fought. It's now on our generation to fight for American freedom again, this time against our own government.

Oh, I thought you were going to say pray.

I think I will follow the Lord, not you. I do not get the sense you are very well versed in spiritual warfare. (What are you white belt? Orange belt?)

But, we must be willing to take the consequences with either of those, and so wisdom from God must guide us in that.
The wisdom of God is in the Bible, I suggest you start there.

The first thing I am doing is confessing and repenting. God is judging organized Christianity, the apostasy, and the whore of Babylon.

Second thing I am doing is worshipping the Lord, all glory is His, vengeance is His, He will repay.

Third thing I am doing is taking up my cross and following Him.

Give to Caesar what is Caesar's . . . Does this possibly mean we are to obey the law . . . Can we be gentle and loving to those who are confused about their identity . . .

Now there's no point in me even posting lol...Leastways I think along the same lines with regard to Christian organizations. I think the same is true of non-profit status with regard to churches though. If you have to compromise your belief system to maintain non-profit status you probably don't believe what you say you do.

From my armchair at least...I don't know how I would feel if I were in the "hot-seat" so to speak.

I give people that are at the crossroads of making these decisions the benefit of the doubt that it would require serious restructuring and would be difficult and unpopular...it's just one modifier/facet though.

It's like a person needing to repent/feeling led to the altar so to speak. It matters whether you go with your head held high vs kicking and screaming being dragged there but that is a side matter. The main thing is to repent. I pray at minimum for a stubborn reluctant acceptance (and ofc action) of this by those to whom it is relevant.

Hot or cold.

Don't "follow me" then. Just get out of the way.

Tried to edit my first response and could not. So...

Your spirituality, obviously far more developed than most others', makes me unworthy of you as a "follower" (not that I was ever asking you to do that). So, you'd be well advised to get out of the way.

Solomon, the wisest man to ever live, said there's a time for peace and a time for war. The Founders prayed for sure, AND they waged physical warfare. Surely you knew that. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a man who's walk I'm certainly not going to judge (though in your highly evolved state, you're obviously qualified to do so), decided it was necessary to make an attempt on Hitler's life. I.e., kill him, and not with kindness or love -- but for love of the people old Adolph was harming.

So absolutely, you go your own, radically pacifistic and highly "spiritual" way. Civil disobedience and violently defending against Antifa rioters trying to burn down one's home are too knuckle-dragging for one such as you.

If nothing else this bill shows us how corrupt our government is when undertaking an effort to violate our first amendment unalienable rights. And vacate the separation clause.

Though I will say I don't think this bill has a chance of passing as is.

On the other hand, Christian organizations and churches may see this as an opportunity to extricate themselves from Federal clutches and controls.
By vacating their501(c)3 religious tax exempt status.

Especially in these times when the world's lord seems to be gaining influence even in our churches.
Affirming gay marriage and performing civil unions in the church. Adding open homosexuals and transsexuals to church offices, etc...

It's simple, just quit taking federal funding. If Yahweh is for us who can be against us? Who do we trust more, Him or the federal government?

These times are clarifying much. The rot in the church, and even among the lost, is all being made plainly visible. That might not be a bad thing.
