Abolish The Police, Abortion, Christianity, Police Abuse

Fire John MacArthur!

I have a John MacArthur study Bible. In general, he’s one of the best big-name pastors around. I would agree with him on 90% of things he says. But, for some reason he’s way off on this topic.

In fact, if I understand correctly, Bob Vernon was the assistant chief of the LAPD, and is an elder at this church. When Operation Rescue was in LA, blocking the doors to abortion clinics with hundreds of people, Vernon sought counsel on how he should handle these peaceful Christian protesters, doing a good thing. Apparently, MacArthur told Vernon to arrest them, and they had a sadistic heyday doing so.

So I made the video below with an encouraging quote from Bojidar Marinov. You can watch the video here, or if you’d like to comment and like it, you can click on the little Youtube logo in the bottom right that comes up after you hit play.

Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God, The Way Things Ought to Be

Disobey Stupid Laws

I’ve written about this before with abortion, but here’s another real world example ripped out of the headlines. This county clerk in Kentucky is refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses.

doi5Will this woman expose all the Christian men in her county to be a bunch of sissies? She has the courage to stand up against evil. What about everyone else? She needs cops, bankers and county commissioners to help her break the law. If she is just all by herself, she’s going to lose. Evil judges are just blowing hot air without people to carry out their orders.

If a judge says something stupid, do we just do what he says? Aren’t the people who blindly obey a stupid order also stupid? How about we just stop doing stupid stuff?

I don’t know exactly what the consequences of her continuing to refuse to issue licenses will be, but there are three possibilities that I can think of.

  1. She could be arrested and thrown in jail.
  2. She could have personal assets forfeited.
  3. Assets of her employer could be forfeited.

There is no judge that will go down and arrest her. No judge is going to show up at her house to auction it off. A judge won’t hold a gun to the head of a banker to have them clear out her accounts.

The cops don’t have to do any of that. No one can make them do any of those things. Bankers don’t have to do what they’re told. They can throw stupid court orders in the trash.

WE DON’T HAVE TO OBEY UNJUST LAWS!

People don’t have to obey unjust laws. Cops don’t have to; county clerks don’t have to. Not only do we not have to, but we shouldn’t.

Start disobeying unjust laws. Start with yourself. Find a preposterous law, and break it. Encourage others to break preposterous laws.  Because, if you blindly obey stupid laws and orders, you’re stupid. We all need to work up more courage to do what’s right, including me. “The fear of man lays a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe” (Proverbs 29:25).

Abolish The Police

Colorado Springs Dirty Cops

Passengers don’t have to provide ID unless they are suspected of a crime. They don’t have to submit to a search without a warrant. Such things were well-accepted truths at one point in American history. Now the cops almost certainly don’t know and definitely don’t care. Well, I care.

End Public School, Reject Socialism

Don’t Take the Government Cheese

I’ve heard people say that so many Americans are armed that we could never be invaded by a foreign power. I always assumed that was true, but I’m rethinking that.

Don't take the cheese!
Don’t take the cheese!

I was witnessing at the bus station, and the lady I was speaking with said she was a Christian. I was walking away from her, and she shouts to the guy across the street asking if he could give her a bus pass.

Rumor has it, that 60% of Fremont County residents receive food stamps. I don’t know if that’s true or how to verify it.

It’s true that a lot of people have guns, but it seems like whoever wanted to take over could probably buy people off pretty easy. The state this country is in is pretty sad. I think people can be bought off pretty cheap. Then, after they’re bought off, all the guns would be turned on the good guys.

And it doesn’t have to be a foreign power. Hitler took over when inflation was out of control and people were hungry and without work. All he had to do to take over was give them jobs and food, so this is not without precedent.

Pastors need to start teaching that government handouts are evil. Not only because we have so much pride that we can’t take a handout. Though I wish that were true. Government handouts are evil, because:

1. The government gets their money by stealing it from people.
2. It is easy to become dependent on government. We’re supposed to be dependent on God.
3. Christians are supposed to be hard working (look up Protestant work ethic). We work for the Lord and to serve others (the greatest commandments). We work hard and the Lord provides.

How is it that we’ve got to the point where so many Christians are on food stamps, social security, medicare, free summer lunches and school lunches and public school? Government cheese comes with a trap. If Christians can’t live obediently to the Bible, who will?

Abortion

Higher Price of Doing Business for Planned Parenthood

StemExpress had sued the Center for Medical Progress to prevent the release of this video. Eventually, the court allowed them to release the video.

Stem Express and Planned Parenthood are no longer doing business with each other. Even if these videos never result in the end of abortion or even the defunding of Planned Parenthood, there are a couple other things that have resulted.

  1. Many people have awoken from their slumber over the issue of abortion, or have changed from pro-choice to pro-life.
  2. Abortionists now have to be very careful about who they have meetings with and let into their office. This will cost them time and money.
  3. Preventing StemExpress from doing business with them will make it that much harder for abortionists to make money selling body parts. They’ll make that much less money, even if someone else steps up to take StemExpress’ place, there will be one less bidder and a lot of logistics for the new company to figure out.

Abortionists will be like the Mafia. They’ll have to search people for wires and not let business people in with their phones for fear that someone will be making undercover videos.

This is a good strategy. Just keep chipping away at them and how they do business. Cost them money in any way we can. Pray for creative ideas!

 

Capitalism

No More Rule of Law

In order for people to invest and build businesses in a certain place, the laws have to be stable. African countries where a dictator can come along and steal everything you have discourages investment. In such a place, there is no rule of law, where even the king is subject to the law.

America is becoming such a place. The businesses in this video are legal businesses, but some bureaucrat has come along and decided that they can be shut down without consulting the legislature. It is wrong.

Of course, when you leave God’s law and make government your god, this is the kind of thing that will happen.

Abolish The Police, Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God

Nanny State Bike Helmet Laws

Christians need to be taught theonomy. Bike helmet laws are unjust laws. A Christian cop needs to ignore unjust laws and sabotage efforts by his fellow officers to enforce unjust laws. If a pastor recognizes one of his people in this video, he needs to put that person under church discipline.

I’m in my late 30s. I’m not sure I even saw a bike helmet when I was a kid and I definitely have never worn one. I’m sure most of these cops are in the same boat as me. Not only are they enforcing unjust laws, but they’re hypocrites.

Furthermore just passing more and more laws isn’t going to help people. Bad things happen. Kids fall off their bikes. That’s life. But I guess if your only hope is in this life, maybe you can have salvation by more and more laws. If his parents want him to wear a helmet, they can make him wear a helmet. It is none of the state’s business whether anyone wears a bike helmet. Any attempt to pass such a law is a violation of family and state.

Cop Worshiping Christians Bring Judgment

At 11:30, you can see these Christians demonstrating in front of an abortion clinic have Comet thrown at them. The cops don’t do anything, and let the man go.

Obviously, cops can choose to ignore whatever laws they want. Sometimes they ignore unjust laws. Sometimes they just show their bias. But I’m in favor of cops not enforcing evil laws.

Bojidar Marinov was asked about this incident and had this to say, “Christians are stupid enough to worship police when police are the institution most committed to protecting the abortion mills. Thus, the judgment on the house of God will come from its very idols.”

I think this incident is just further proof of the veracity of this meme, made from an incident from 1989:

Abolish The Police, Police Abuse

Blue Lives Matter Less Than Our Rights

Our rights come from God. If they come from the chicken scratch on the Bill of Rights, we have no rights, because if men grant rights, men can take them away.

The reason we have a right to life, is because the Bible says, “You shall not murder.” The reason we have a right to property is because it says, “You shall not steal.” Government is included in those laws. They can’t legalize murder (abortion) or theft (rampant, ubiquitous socialism). If they attempt to do so, they’re only going to bring this country under God’s wrath.

  1. Our rights come from God’s law.
  2. No one is as important as God’s law.
  3. Therefore, blue lives matter less than our rights.

The sooner we get this through our thick skulls, the better off we’ll be.

When cop worshipers say blue lives matter, of course, I agree with the plain meaning of that phrase. Every human life is valuable, and everyone has the right to life. But, I’m afraid they often mean more than the plain meaning.

Cops aren’t held to the same standard as everyone else. When cops tell you to put out your cigarette, they expect that you dang well better do it, or they have the right to start pushing you around and arrest you. God forbid, someone actually defend themselves against government aggression. The doctrine of “blue lives matter” means they then have the right to blow you away, even if you’re not armed.

However that isn’t the teaching of the Bible. According to God’s law, the first person to draw a gun or a deadly weapon can be killed in self-defense (Numbers 35:16-21, Exodus 22:2-3). Cops don’t have special rights. Bystanders or other cops would be free of guilt in God’s eyes for killing the cop who drew his gun.

If someone doesn’t have a deadly weapon, they can’t be killed. That would be murder in God’s sight. By this standard, Darren Wilson murdered Michael Brown. Eric Garner was murdered. Freddie Gray was murdered. The murderers in the first two cases have gotten off scot free.

Soldiers have died for our rights. Christians martyrs have died for our rights. They have died to uphold God’s law against tyrants down through the centuries. I hope that if I’m called on to die for my rights or anyone else’s rights (that are consistent with God’s law) I would do so. My life and everyone else’s life matters less than God’s law and our rights. But cops don’t act like it. They act like they’d rather blow you away than risk a bruise.

Give me liberty or give me death, because my life isn’t as important as my rights or God’s law.
