Phil Robertson Suspended From “Duck Dynasty” for Sharing His Opinion
This article gives all the details about what Phil Robertson, an outspoken Christian, said to GQ magazine regarding his opinions about homosexuality. Those opinions got him indefinitely suspended from the hit A&E show “Duck Dynasty”.
For the past several years pastors in North America and Western Europe have been wondering when the time will come when teaching biblical passages which label homosexual activity as sin will be constituted as “hate speech” and be punishable by law. I’ve heard that such laws are already in place in France and Canada. It is a slippery slope we are on. One of the reasons why the founding fathers of the United States wanted the separation of church and state was to protect the integrity of the church from government involvement. This isn’t quite that bad, A&E is a private company dealing with an employee, but as a pastor, I can’t help but see this as a sign of what is to come.
The end is near.
From my limited knowledge of history and the world around us, Christianity thrives tremendously well under persecution. So I am ok with this…
I agree. Christianity has withstood more than this a thousand times over.
Speaking of persecution, check out the article on persecution in the Soviet Union I just posted today.
