Cock Fighting is a Noble Sport; Links to the Bible -
07-11-2017, 02:17 PM
Things are getting ridiculous when the Des Moines Police Department stops roosters from deciding who gets the hens. They raided a small businessman and took all of his chickens.
God mentions roosters several times in the Bible. He trained roosters to give us notice of when someone is lying (Matt. 26:34) and perhaps other important information. It is not a sin to place wagers on which of these noble animals will kill the another. I think we may have a religious freedom issue here:
Des Moines Register
The animal control officer could see that a majority of the birds had been physically groomed in a way consistent with preparing them for cockfighting, including the removal of the combs and wattles from their heads, an act which can reduce the risk of severe blood loss when animals are injured during a fight, according to the report. The birds also appeared groomed to facilitate the attachment of spurs or metal blades, the officer wrote in the report.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

It's only in Obama's America that proper grooming is found to be illegal. Maybe roosters should all be dressed in "low slung" jeans with boxer's shorts flapping all out there in the breeze. I despair when I think of society today compared to the Golden Age, sometime around the 19... let's say 1900s to the... well, let's say the 2008s? I just despair of all that happened between that nice stable period of time in the Golden Ages compared to the terribly unstable times now. It makes a man want to nuke a country, I mean, we're men right? And that's the point of having nukes right? Right???

When I first started importing my Indonesian and Filipino houseboys I was only dimly aware of the great potential of cockfights. Surely, we'd attended more than a few at the Seminary. My houseboys soon introduced me to some serious cockfighting. It is a great past time. First the excitement and the mayhem and afterwards the quiet relaxation with some selected verses from 1 Samuel and of course John 18:27 . Whenever my government duties allow me, I come back to the Flint Mansion and we attend cockfights with the boys. Some of the issues with our friend the Donald that you may have heard of have been caused by his extreme schedule and cockfighting might be just the way to get him open up a bit covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe covfefe
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

Thank you, Pastor Zeke, for telling us of your own enjoyment of the cock fighting sport and of its link to the Bible.
I marvel at the inventiveness of those professionals who raise the birds and stage the events. A while back they realized the fights would be even more exciting with more blood. They devised a way to attach razor blades to the feet. Now we can see talented birds who are aware of the blades use moves to exploit this weapon.
God created for our enjoyment these marvelous fight-to-the-death birds.
Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.
