Alabama okays church to have its own police force. -
04-13-2017, 01:32 AM
Can I say how jealous I am of Alabama cutting all this red tape for churches?
Quote:
Lawmakers on Tuesday voted 24-4 to allow Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham to establish a law enforcement department.
The church says it needs its own police officers to keep its school as well as its more than 4,000 person congregation safe.
Critics of the bill argue that a police department that reports to church officials could be used to cover up crimes.
The state has given a few private universities the authority to have a police force, but never a church or non-school entity.
Police experts have said such a police department would be unprecedented in the U.S.
A similar bill is also scheduled to be debated in the House on Tuesday.

Now, this is the way it's done. And all those years we have spent keeping Des Moines off our backs with the whole City Hall and City Council sham as a facade for the church to run the town.
If we could have formed our own police force first, I am sure that is the first thing we would have done to keep our congregation and school safe.
But what if the Muslims get similar ideas? What if the Satanists did the same? It's horrible to think of from that perspective.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

My church works around this by having dogs and handlers because of our school. That way, our handlers are all armed with attack dogs, and as long as it happens on private property (it all is private property) what happens in our community stays within it, where we are judged not by secular law, but by the Bible.

I don't think that there is much danger of that happening - Muslimism and Satanism are not real religions, are they? They are no more than groups of deluded people with an imaginary, invisible leader - one of the many "false gods" mentioned in KJV1611.
They do not need a police force because anyone they object to is, in the eyes of right-thinking-people, only trying to help them see the Light of Jesus.
It would be the equivalent of a hospital having police to protect the patients against the doctors and nurses.

From what I can tell, you're a racist, and you're chauvinist. You cannot use the holy book of a religion to defend the logical basis of the religion's validity (that's like me saying: Captain underpants is real because it talked about how there would be people like you who who don't believe in him). What kind of scam would not demonize the people that were aware and are against the scam? By the way, they're not "church police" they're regular police officers stationed in churches. Get real, buddy.

Dear Andi,
a. Your post is racist in the fact that a non racist, western gentleman, is being deemed racist by you, a person he has never met.
b. Your post is sexist in that you are claiming a True Christian is a chauvinist which he definitely is not.
I will pray that you lose your bias towards others and allow Jesus to enter you.

What else would you use? For example when mormons start in with the lies and deception what other source could possibly show where the book of mormon spouts blasphemy than the book itself? In that case the blasphemy includes calling Jesus a liar. There are many others of course but without opening their book to show the verses in question and comparing those verses in the holy book of their religion with the actual words of Jesus from the historical record the logical basis of the religion .— .none in this case .— .could not be demonstrated at all!
I see the poster has been banned now. But my point stands, just in case anyone's reading and thinking what an astute andiscegmoore to be sure. The point raised was not astute but idiotic.

A little note for the oblivious here... firstly, this is Easter and perhaps some of your ' Pastors' might give a little thanks considering the sacrifice Jesus made so that even their sins, and they are countless, could be forgiven.
Next up is this laughable idea of some Baptwit hillbillies in Alabama (one of the world's most backward enclaves) are somehow ahead of the curve for wanting their own police force!
Gee.
Who would ever of thought that a Church get its own Police protection?
Once again these little cultists are merely copying the centuries old thinking of His Church... the Church He built on the rock of St.Peter... The Roman Catholic Church.
While your Mayfair ancestors were busy starving and bringing disease to the local natives, we Catholics were already instituting our own world-class protection force of crack troops. Math being anathema to you folks I will save you the effort. Ten years shy of five hundred years. Yes, that is correct. We have been all over this like Pastor Zeke on a cabana boy for half a millennia. (A millennia is a measurement of time, not a tramp from Eastern Europe)

Mo, its time you took a long walk into the driest of deserts. No need to turn back. May your bones be well bleached before some wretch comes upon them.
Phil
58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; 59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring k upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

Dear Pappa Mo,
Oh yes. So progressive that the uniforms are 500 years out if date. I think you may be better off looking for Jesus. A little hint - He is not to be found in little boys trousers.
Anyway how many rings did you kiss for Easter this year?

Seriously there Padre, a police force festooned as a Broadway chorus line leaves a little to be desired - but you do need to pick up the tempo on those Gregorian chants to keep some credibility.
Bless you too, my pantaloon papist.

I am not sure what the fuss is all about. The Landover PD has several hundred personnel at the LBC Chrystal Cathedral every Sunday, with a uniformed officer stationed at every pew watching the collection plate, undercover operatives intermingled amongst the tin tithers and a few special ops men in the men's room. As a sign of respect for the delicacies of the ladies, no one is stationed in the 'female facilities' and it is only watched with video surveillance (copies of the DVD's to verify use are available in the Church office for a nominal fee).
I think having a 'Church Force' should be unneeded and the fact that a God fearing state such as Alabama must resort to such efforts is a sign the demoncrats, Clinton and Obama still have their pudgy fingers in the pie. Has anyone heard from Victory OS?
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

But in a mental hospital, Mr Bathfire, the patients may fancy having such a force available anyway.
PSALM 14 . KJV . look up
1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. And from insanity it's a short step to atheism. There are closed communities where private security is appropriate and The Bible teaches me to follow established regulatory laws in that case: ROMANS 13 . KJV . context
1-2 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
But what if I did not live in such a community? What if the atheists took over and set up their own system? Look at what's happened to the Danes and Norwegians: be warned. If Eric the Red had managed to establish his progeny would America now be any better? No. It would be worse. clickable image
Where there is now love, hatred would be sown
.Where pardon is needed, injury would be done
..Instead of faith there would be doubt
...Despair where there should be hope
....The light of God's Word would be extinguished
.....In darkness sadness, not joy, would reign supreme
The former Anglo-Scandinavian culture exemplifies what could have happened in America. They have abandoned their faith and let's face it Lutherans and Anglicans never had too much of that. But what they had they've discarded and look at what's happened! Talk about misery and darkness. Norway alone presents a lesson for Godfearing folks everywhere. Sweden, Wales, Denmark, Cornwall. The Icelands and New Zealands of this world speak volumes. Life in such places must be utter misery. With no moral compass, God went out the window years ago and now the tide has reached America. Jesus is under attack like never before, His promises ignored when they are not mocked .— .our papist interloper being a good example of that.
Christians have a right to be afraid against such an onslaught. Jesus was critical of neglect.
MATTHEW 25 . KJV . look up
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Jesus wants us to be ready for Him. He teaches me here to provide my own oil. I can't expect Jesus to bring some with Him! But without oil in my lamp how can I light up for Him when He gets here? Jesus would be so disappointed, just like that bridegroom. So disappointed that even though He'd invited me, when He saw that I had no oil, it would be like He'd never even met me. How devastating would that be for Jesus?
The Bible encourages us to be vigilant for a reason. God explains:
ROMANS 16 . KJV . look up
17-18 Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ but their own belly and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
