That's true... but i guess your dishonest will not allow you to see the illogicality in trying to equate the two. Daniel lived under a monarchy, he did not have the right to simply walk off the job whenever he wanted. Secondly, Daniel did not attempt to use his position to deny benefits and rights to babylonians who refused to pray to his God now did he?

Nauseating.

Let us stick with the similarities. Daniel and Kim were both government officials. They were both persecuted for their faith by a tyrannical justice system who denied them their religious rights, in Kim's case her first Amendment right was denied her when officials in government get away with murder. Daniel's enemies thought they had the last laugh but the rest is history as we now know how they met with their waterloo. Kim was not afraid to disobey the supreme judge of the land because she knows she will have to face the Sovereign Judge of the universe.

I already responded to the idiocy of trying to compare Kim Davis to Daniel... this is the type of irresponsible bible usage that allows ego-driven people like Kim Davis to erroneously think that God is somehow pleased with their self-serving acts of rebellion. Daniel was a high official... one would have thought he would have used that position to deny ordinary idol-worshiping Babylonians their rights for not bowing down to the Jewish God right? Why did Daniel ignore all the idol worshiping to pray to God in his closet?

No matter how much you hate the guts of Christians like Kim Davies because of your political affliation and anti-christian stance you cannot deny Kim Davies her religious freedom as provided in the First Amendment Act. The people are supposed to be free to practise their religion and not free from religion if you know the difference.

amalektch:


Again just to reiterate to the hard of hearing and the dishonest... the problem with Kim Davis was not that she disobeyed a government order. If she had resigned, no one would have cared at all. The problem is that she disobeyed the order and still expects to stay back in the same government drawing a check that is paid out of taxpayers (many of whom are gay and do not subscribe to her form of religion at all). Not only that, she forbids all other 6 deputy clerks from issuing marriage certificates to both the gay and the straight... so regale us, when did Daniel do all of the above?

You cannot deny her right to the First Amendment even if you don't wish her well.

As someone once said, the problem with people like you and Kim Davis is that your "god" isnt really the Lord Jesus but the "god" of freedom and religious rights. Christ did not die so that christians can demand rights under a political system. What of christians in Iraq? Did God forget to give them rights too or are they going to hell since they cannot exercise the same "rights" that american christians bray all day about?

God created all people to equal rights and God bless the countries that used the Moral laws of God to bring about a similitude of this freedom in their constitutions so don't compare America with nations not open to the gospel light. The fact that America has in its constitution the First Amendment that protects the religious rights of it's citizens they have to see to it that such rights are not taken away by any tyrannical government such as you now have in Obama.

amalektch:


The bible encourages us to show ourselves as examples to others, that they may through our good works (not the demanding of political rights as given to us by a secular, godless constitution) glorify God in heaven. Christ said in the last day, we will be persecuted for His namesake. American christians instead have chosen to crusade for political rights to discriminate against others they dont like instead. You have the right to disobey a law all you want, you however do not deserve the right to demand that you continue getting paid for your disobedience. That is not judicial tyranny, that is common sense.

Those rights were influenced by the Scriptures and I see no reason why you insist that it should not be used unless you are bent on sending the country back into darkness, which is obvious.

amalektch:


I notice none of you have said anything about the Express Jet muslim lady fired because she invoked her religious right not to serve alcohol on the plane... i guess you dont care since she doesnt serve the same God as you right? Where you also not complaining whey muslims tried to assert their right to build a mosque at ground zero? American christianity... hypocrisy is thy name.

Open a thread on that since your political correct administrators have prevented me from doing such.

amalektch:


As another person said, when fascism and persecution will come to America, it will come draped in a flag and carrying the bible.

You are beginning to sound as a wolf in sheep's clothing.

To me I believe it is only Logical for her to resign... Cos the bible says gv what belongs to caesar to caesar and as a christian she shd know dat we are nt of this world... And so when society turns order on its head as it is with this case I'll say Ma'am just resign and leave this crazy system alone.

Yup. I do believe homosexuality is something people pick up from others, not really genetic like many argue. I'd expect kids to grow up to decide what's best for them. But what happens when a young boy is raised by two men? Wouldn't he think that is the norm? A kid like that would be confused in several societies where that's frowned against.
In a world with a preponderance of heterosexuals and discrimination against same sex relationships it strains credulity that environment factors play any part. But even if it did i doubt the LGBT population would exist since most of them were born to straight parents (or at least one's that appear to be) who would've have influenced them to become straight.
Just so you know I do support the lgbt community.

This is a joke. Mike Huckabee could care less about Kim Davis... he is simply using her as a pawn to serve his own political ambitions. Surely you already know that... if not why did he prevent Ted Cruz from standing on stage with him? lol the disgraceful idiocy of the rightwing fanatics in the US is something to behold. You've become a slave to white supremacist culture masquerading as "christianity".

Kim was also obeying the law of the land that defined marriage to be between a man and a woman.

If Jesus could forgive the Samaritan woman who had 5 ex husbands why could He not forgive Kim? He is also waiting for you to repent from your sins instead of picking up stones to lynch at a person whom the Lord has forgiven.

"Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband: For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that you said truly. The woman said to Him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet" (John 4:16-19).

Mike Huckabee is a committed Christian who took it upon himself to fight for the oppressed. I know it's difficult to be a truly committed Christian and run politics but someone has to stand up and speak up for the truth and Mike has chosen to do that. He even offered to go to jail in Kim's place.
