Day One<br />

California allows anyone born in California to change the gender marker on a<br />

California birth certificate with an appropriate court order.<br />

California Health and Safety Code sec 103425<br />

A California law today. Will this be a Federal law soon?<br />

I re-visited some Muslim countries this year, they have no old pastors, their<br />

pastors have a short lifespan. They keep being murdered. Pastors are the first<br />

in line.<br />

Ex-Muslim Convert<br />

When they came, they came for the pastors first. They targeted them.<br />

Ex-Hindu Convert (but could have been said by an Ex-Muslim<br />

convert or a Chinese Christian or even a Swedish Christian)<br />

The Consequences of <strong>In</strong>activity<br />

O<br />

ne Sunday morning, your pastor reads the passage in Leviticus<br />

which includes, among other things, a section on homosexuality.<br />

On Monday morning, the church is sued for “hate speech” (Hate Speech Law,<br />

HR1592 introduced by Representative John Conyers, Jr. March 2007 1 ). The<br />

ensuing legal struggle drains money from your church accounts and forces<br />

your pastor to focus on the church’s financial survival, instead of shepherding.<br />

Whether they win the suit or not, those who file the suit have been as effective<br />

as they were with Pastor Ake Green in Sweden who suffered in the same way<br />

and was thrown into jail for the same reason.<br />

You swat your child’s hand at the supermarket. As a result you are<br />

arrested and put in prison for one year for “spanking your child” (AB755<br />

introduced in the California Assembly by Assemblywoman Sally Lieber,<br />

February 2007, reissued as AB2943 in 2008 2 ).<br />

Judges who admit that they will acknowledge God and consider His<br />

Natural Law 3 in their rulings and interpretations of original laws 4 are fired from<br />

1 Some have argued that this will not be the automatic result of this law. However, it seems to me that<br />

we have evidence of this sort of oppression in Canada and Sweden from laws similar to these. <strong>In</strong><br />

addition, history has shown us that many pastors, lest their churches lose tax-exempt status, shy away<br />

from political issues even when they are legally allowed to make certain comments on politics. They<br />

throw the baby out with the bath water, a result of a law forced through by Lyndon Johnson to muzzle<br />

non-profits. We will discuss this in detail further.<br />

2 Lieber has since had to make many modifications to her bill, but with a fully morally liberal house,<br />

senate and president those who wish to pass this at the federal level would probably not need to do so.<br />

3 Referred to as “The Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God. They are referring to the nature of God and<br />

how his laws necessarily manifest themselves in His creation. We’ll discuss this in this book.
