I ran into a bunch of posts I simply did not have time to share on my Blog. ERGO, today I will include this intro and cross post several shares that I pray YOU as well will share if you find the info of value.
This is my second cross post share of the day. The post is
by John Horvat who essentially is a Roman Catholic Christian Apologist that I
am certain annoys the Communist Pope Francis. Also, in full disclosure, I am a
Protestant that is in the Charismatic/Word-of-Faith camp (a group that seems
a bit unpopular on the Internet these days). If you are a Christian, Horvat’s
take on the Dem-Marxist Equality Act will be invaluable. If you are a supporter
of the godless Dem-Marxist agenda, you are in danger of an unwanted decent in
the next stage of your existence.

We Want God Not the Equality Act
By John Horvat II
March 4, 2021
The American Society for the Defense of TRADITION,
FAMILY and PROPERTY
The debate over the Equality Act is much more than a
discussion on “discrimination” or “rights.” If enacted, it will mark the
nation’s formal and symbolic break with the Will of God. Such a conclusion
comes from an inadvertent remark during the Congressional debate over the
nefarious bill.
This religious aspect of the proposed legislation trumps all
others. Many rightly oppose the measure because they say it will create a right
to abortion, facilitate its funding and impose “transgender” tyranny upon the
nation’s workplaces, churches, bathrooms and schools. It will codify “gender”
ideology into the law of the land. All these are legitimate and substantial
reasons to oppose the bill.
However, the most powerful reason for being vehemently
against it is that it represents the severing of America’s relationship with
God. In Congressional hearings about the act, Democratic Congressman Jerry
Nadler declared that which opposes the Will of God is of no concern for Congress.
This is tantamount to saying that America should exist outside of God’s Will,
that it should be completely indifferent to His Divine Law.
Eternal and Natural Law: The Foundation of Morals and Law
This declaration should cause great concern and grief for
the nation. America’s ties to God are her most precious possession. The blatant
contempt for this relationship cannot fail to have drastic consequences. It
would mark a disastrous turning point.
A Rejection of God’s Will
Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL) triggered the denial in remarks he
made on the House floor about God’s intent in Creation. Would that in their
official statement on the Equality Act, the nation’s Catholic bishops had
shown the courage of this congressman! Rep. Steube went straight to the core of
the problem: “When men or women claim to be able to choose their own sexual
identity, they are making a statement that God did not know what he was doing
when he created them.”
“The gender confusion that exists in our culture today is a
clear rejection of God’s good design,” he continued. “Whenever a nation’s laws
no longer reflect the standards of God, that nation is in rebellion against him
and will inevitably bear the consequences. We are seeing the consequences of
rejecting God here in our country today.”
As chairman of the hearings, Congressman Nadler’s brutal
reply was that “What any religious tradition describes as God’s will is no
concern of this Congress.”
A Challenge to God’s Sovereignty
This short and impious statement contains the key to
understanding the nation’s disastrous state. America has abandoned God. The
congressman made matters worse by issuing a public challenge to God’s
sovereignty over the American land and people. He repudiated the nation’s
history.
By declaring God’s will to be a matter of no concern, he
formally denies the validity of the Ten Commandments. However, they are an
expression of God’s Will and His loving Providence for all nations, in all places,
and for all historical eras.
He further kicks aside America’s past religious consensus,
which recognized God’s authority. Although far from ideal, the United States
was formed around a vague notion of God and a Christian moral code loosely
based on the Ten Commandments. This consensus was adopted by the State,
embedded in its laws, and engraved on its public buildings.
Although far-too-vague, this consensus had the good effect
of deeply imprinting on the national character a sense of morality, godliness,
patriotism and family devotion. It even had a healthy moderating influence on
the economy.
Vast sectors of the American public remain attached to this
moral code loosely based on the Ten Commandments. This attachment has given
rise to reactions in defense of family, traditional marriage, property, faith
in the public square, morality, and country that are the basis of the Culture
War still raging across the nation.
Unmasking the Ungodly Left
Congressman Nadler’s remark represents a new phase in the
political left’s shift away from God and His Moral Law. The antagonism is no
longer hidden. The left’s program is so radical that it allows itself to be
unmasked before the public. The congressman’s reply succinctly states that God
should have no influence in the affairs of His creatures. America takes care of
herself. God need not bless America.
Nadler’s rejection of God echoes Lucifer’s primal cry of
revolt, “I will not serve,” in the battle in Heaven at the beginning of
history.
This revolt goes beyond affirming that God’s Will is a
matter of no concern. Instead, it sees God’s Will as a terrible obstacle that
must be removed as the left seeks to “reset” society toward a state of things
that is diametrically opposed to God’s Will. As the Equality Act’s draconian
terms prove, those who follow God’s Law cannot be tolerated but must be
suppressed. Everyone must be forced to validate error and approve sin.
The core of the Equality Act is found in this rejection of
God’s Will. If those who favor the act are unafraid to deny God’s authority,
then those who oppose it must, like Rep. Greg Steube, courageously affirm It,
in the name of all Americans who recognize Christ as Lord and King.
Now is the time to reaffirm unequivocally and
unapologetically America’s relationship with God. It is time to say: We want
God, Who is our King.
The other aspects of the bill are important and must be
addressed. However, this desire to do God’s Will despite all obstacles is what
will deliver victory. It secures us the right to call on the Lord God of Hosts
for aid in this unequal battle for the heart and soul of America.
