OPINION,
October 31 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following
is submitted by Randall Terry Founder, Operation Rescue:I
am convinced that if Obama wins, future historians will
conclude that it was because of the clergy that Obama won...
Please ponder four critical moments in history:
1- The birth of the Church;
2- The American Revolution;
3- The German Church before and during the holocaust;
4- The Church in America today…
Consider the Church as Recorded in the Book of Acts
... Why were they killed? Because they preached that Jesus
is Lord of heaven and earth; that Jesus is the King of kings,
that "all authority in heaven and earth" is His (See Matthew
28:18), and that God would make Jesus' enemies a footstool for
His feet. (See Acts 2: 34, 35)
That message was illegal to preach. In fact, those who
hunted Paul brought charges that the Apostles preached what
was not lawful for Romans to hear; things "...contrary to the
decrees of Caesar, saying there is another King, Jesus." (See
Acts 17:7)
They preached that Christ was above the Emperor, and that
their first obedience was due to Him. The Roman authorities
viewed them as revolutionaries; Heaven viewed them as heroes.
Think of the German Church During the Holocaust
Adolph Hitler declared just after he was voted into power:
The parsons will be made to dig their own graves. They will
betray their God to us. They will betray anything for the sake
of their miserable little jobs and incomes." (The Nazi
Persecution of the Churches, J.S. Conway.)
...overall, Hitler's assessment of German clergy proved
true. After the war, Martin Niemoller wrote Guilt and Hope,
and basically blamed the German clergy for Hitler's rise to
power. If only the clergy had spoken out early on, Hitler
could have been stopped. The clergy chose silence and safety;
they lost the life and soul of their nation in the exchange,
and the condemnation of countless generations to come.
Heaven viewed them with tears; history views them in
contempt....
...What hardships do American Clergy face today
To derail and defeat Obama?
Will they be hunted? No.
Will they be beaten? No.
Will they go to a concentration camp? No.
Will they be executed? No.
The most they will face is annoying letters from the IRS,
and maybe some low-grade litigation. And maybe, just maybe,
they will have to surrender their tax exempt status.
Let me put it plainly: Is there even one active Catholic
Bishop who will risk his life to end the abortion holocaust?
Is their even one Evangelical leader who will risk being a
martyr to speak out against Obama, and help end the slaughter
of babies.
It is not likely, because not even one of them will risk
his tax-exempt status. They have run with men and grown weary,
how can they run against horses?
In short: The pulpits of America stand silent; they do not
resist the baby-killing tyrant named Obama by name, because
childish fear has gripped the heart of clergy.
Stated plainly: they have sold their pulpit; they are
hirelings. They have agreed to accept "hush money" from the
501(c)3 tax code in exchange for not naming the names of
political villains and despots...
