Subject: Are silent protests scriptural? |
Bible Note: Hi Hank, This is my belief also. Sharing truth in love not silent protest is more effective. When I tried to state this concept to one brother, I was severely rebuked and told I didn't know what I was saying and that they were saving babies in the spirit. This I thought to be a bunch of religious nonesense. These young ladies need a way to save their babies' lives in the natural. This is especially grieving to my spirit as this brother is one I worship and minister with regularly. So I wanted to be sure that I am correct in this view. I want to make sure I am not missing some scriptural basis for the practice of silent protests, so that when we speak again I can be on solid scriptural ground. It is not what we think we should do. It is what God tells us to do. Do you think God could have told them to do these protests as they say? Thank you for your input. Bows44 |
