I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. Genesis 3:15
The honor of holding down the serpent belongs to the woman, but it seems the honor of decapitating it goes to the man.
The Sentinel reported a Christian, ex-military officer did what no other Christian in Iowa had the courage to do: tear down the Satan altar erected in the Iowa state capitol building and behead the idol placed there. Our brave hero has been identified as Michael Cassidy.
I poked around the comments section for fun to see how people reacted. To my delight, many people applauded this, as they should have. Under the guise of the First Amendment, Satan's followers have pushed out God's rule of law to slowly replace it with his own. In Iowa, one man took a stand to say "NO".
Scrolling a bit further down my feed, I came across this related post - a display of great cowardace.
To which a commenter rightly called Rep. Dunwell out on it.
While I don't think this cowardace meets the grounds for a witch test, it does raise a red flag for all who claim to follow the Cross: Christianity isn't passive. There are those who call Christ their Lord but are passive when faced with His enemies. Prayers are not encantations we can use to magically wish our problems away with. Prayers alone didn't cut the head off the snake, it was God acting through Michael Cassidy, commissioning him to enact divine justice. Praise God it was only that and not worse given the grave offense against the Almighty.
To hide behind prayer and expect things to go your way is a grave falacy. With few exceptions and with proper context (Exodus 14:14), action must be paired with prayer. To writhe in disgust if forceful action must be taken is disgusting in itself, for the person lacks a sense of what divine justice is, or rather they only beleive justice is a lightning bolt smiting from the heavens, and not a lay Christian descecrating a Satanic altar.
The biggest folly of these false Christians is beleiving Christ is nothing but a lamb, incapable of being a lion. My go to counterpunch is Matthew 21:12-13.
"Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[a] but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’[b]”
May I remind my brothers and sisters in Christ that it is not un-Christ like to take some names and kick a little ass if it means invoking divine justice like we saw Michael Cassidy do. Satanism and anything else that threatens our Republic or God's children is NOT protected by any Amendment. Do not let the king of lies use clever wording and letigious use of statutes to force you into a corner of submission.
If contemporary standards protects the erecting of a Satanic altar as religious expression under the first Amendment, then exercise your religious expression as a Christian to destroy it. Leave nothing left.
Do not make the same mistake Rep. Dunwell is making now. Prayer is a powerful weapon, but it is the sword, not the word, which cuts the head off the snake.
God bless. St. Boniface, pray for us.
