Offensive
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 9:33 KJV
The story: FOXNews.com - Politics - Judge Bars Indiana Legislature from Christian Prayers details the removal of "Christian" elements from official prayers (offensive words like "savior" or "Jesus Christ"). It's alright for Islamists to pray in the name of Allah, or Wiccans to pray to the "goddess", but how dare the Christians pray their "exclusive" prayer! (It is claimed Christianity is "exclusive" because we believe that Jesus Christ is the only way... but we are exceptionally inclusive because that way is open to any who will believe.)
This is just the latest assault on Free Speech as it relates to Christians. I wonder how long until it will be illegal to espouse Biblical Christianity in public? Ray Comfort and Emeal "EZ" Zwayne have been barred from speaking to people outside of their local courthouse. You can read about that case here. The latest update to their story is available through this newsletter, here.
That's convicting, I have difficulty speeking to people about the Lord Jesus and I don't face court action... yet.
