Is there a secular source besides this, WND is not the best place to get factual information.
And the title is "Fines" not Fights.
These people are not Christian, they don't have the Spirit of God. Filing a lawsuit?Christian organization files lawsuit to challenge censorship
The scriptures continue to be true, "We wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with principalities and powers, wicked spirits in high places." These so called "Christians" are using the court system to fight flesh and blood for their "Rights". We as believers have no rights in this world. Christ is our advocate, our lawyer, we go to Him, state our case and LET THE POWER OF GOD IN DEMONSTRATION GO BEFORE US. We leave the matter with Him, trusting that God of all righteousness will do justice. Let Him vindicate His elect, and let it not be said that we "fought for the LORD", but rather let it be said that, "When the enemy comes in hard do not fear, the battle belongs to the LORD.
Lets make something very clear. We do not fight for the LORD. He fights on our behalf. Our part is to TRUST and to STAND. The fight of faith IS not fighting nor is it wrestling with our fellow man, but it's STANDING for the truth of God's word.You can STAND and still wrestle. The wrestling is in our mind, that is the battleground.
Secular sources aren't exactly the truth loving crew everyone supposes they are.
They want big stories. This isn't exactly one.
And even if it was, doesn't mean it won't be slanted to their point of view.
There might be a secular source. But the word 'secular' should send signals to us.
I meant, another source besides WND.

deepthinker...hmm....????
I am amazed at how you are able to judge these people as not christian and do not have the Spirit of God.
You are entitled to your 'opinion.'
Because it they had His Spirit, they would act like His Spirit. John 18:36I am amazed at how you are able to judge these people as not Christian and do not have the Spirit of God.
It's important that we judge who is and who hasn't got the Spirit of our LORD. That is why the gift of discerning of spirits is so needed in our generation. Even Paul questioned certain brethren who "claimed" to be believers. Acts 19:1
Wow...uh yea.. I was going to respond to you but I see where this will probably go.
chow.
Where?
One man with God is a majority.
Elijah is one example.
We don't need courts and junk. Let us joyfully endure the cross set before us, embracing the shame. Glory in tribulation and persecution!
:) Love you guys.
Glory to God!We don't need courts and junk. Let us joyfully endure the cross set before us, embracing the shame. Glory in tribulation and persecution!
I googled this and did find more info but it reiterated WND's report.
So, Maine wants to throttle any criticism of Islam. Next is preaching that condemns sin.
Gird up your loins....
BTW, I happened to pick up a "Christian History" mag, issue 96 last night. Here is a thoughtful quote: "Most Christians rejected pagan religions as idolatrous and refused to participate in acts of sacrifice, even in civil and social context. This refusal led to sporadic outbursts of persecution. Those who steadfastly resisted any temptation to compromise were considered heroes of the church. Some who volunteered for martyrdom yielded under pressure, so the church discouraged voluntary martyrdom and held up the example of Polycarp of Smyrna as martyrdom 'according to the Gospel.' Polycarp withdrew to a country house until the authorities arrested him. His confession is classic: "for 86 years I have served Christ; how can I blaspheme my king who saved me."" (page 9)
