Barrett is Pro-Life! // Obergefell's ruinous consequences // Platt on Voting

1. The liberal media acts surprised that Judge Barrett is pro-life.

Then they cover a celebrity’s miscarriage as the loss of their precious baby.

Hmm.

Al Mohler nails this one.

2. Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who refused to sign marriage licenses for same sex couples, is being sued by one of those couples.  She appealed and just lost at the Supreme Court.  SCO1. TUS, following its recent Obergefell decision, refused to hear her appeal.

Justice Thomas' dissent, a small four pages, is worth the read.  His conclusion: "By choosing to privilege a novel constitutional right over the religious liberty interests explicitly protected in the First Amendment, and by doing so undemocratically, the Court has created a problem that only it can fix. Until then, Obergefell will continue to have “ruinous consequences for religious liberty.” "

3. Pretty disappointed in Gospel Coalition for promoting DavidPlatt’s latest on voting.  From the podcast transcript, he seems to advocate a morally equivalent position between Trump and Biden.  That’s crazy.  Interviewer Colin Hansen says, “We see abortion as being a fairly nuanced issue…”  Really?!?!  At least Platt corrected him later: “We’re not nuanced about abortion.”  But Platt still allows room to make abortion a less important factor in deciding your vote.

It’s like they’re mirroring and pandering to their younger, social justice warrior, somewhat-woke audience, instead of leading them out of that cesspool of CNN-think.

Platt refuses to say it is our duty to vote, even though voting and jury duty are the two pillars of citizenship in our nation.  Romans 13, man!

But I was glad to hear Platt say, “The Bible uses justice over a hundred times. Let’s learn what that means…. Part of why we did that was to show the difference between the gospel and God’s Word and critical race theory or what Black Lives Matter as an organization might be promoting that are not in line with a biblical worldview.”

 And he’s frustrated by kneejerk reactions from conservatives, which I understand: “as soon as you mention the word “justice” or “race,” you are automatically labeled and put into certain categories, and people start to assume you’re promoting a worldly idea of justice or race…”
