On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court took sides in a heated dispute over a Ten Commandments display on the lawn of a city hall building in Bloomfield, New Mexico, siding with lower courts that found its presence unconstitutional. It’s a conclusion to the City of Bloomfield v. Felix case that has the American Civil Liberties Union, among other groups, elated, heralding the move as a First Amendment victory. Meanwhile, conservative critics are less than content over the SCOTUS decision. David
Cortman, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, a religious liberty law firm, said that confusion remains among lower courts over how these issues should be handled, The Associated Press reported.“Americans shouldn’t be forced to censor religion’s role in history simply to appease someone who is offended by it or who has a political agenda to remove all traces of religion from the public square,” Cortman said. “In this case, the U.S. Supreme Court had the opportunity to affirm, as it recently did, that ‘an Establishment Clause violation is not made out any time a person experiences a sense of affront from the expression of contrary religious views.’” READ MORE
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” Hebrews 10:16. This is an extract of the chapter which tells how Jesus Christ fulfilled the Old Testament sacrificial ordinances. Believers, should we worry about what man can do to a stone (which can be broken)? Shouldn’t we ensure that the laws of YAHWEH are written in our hearts than in stone, and be part on this new covenant? Let them do what they want to stones and buildings. Can they erase what is written in your heart. Can anyone take the love you have for your child, spouse or even Jesus away from you? NO they can’t. So the if the laws of YAHWEH is written in your heart, who can erase it, if not you and your choices?? Jesus said, the buildings made by human hands are not where the Holy Spirit dwells, it is our bodies (hearts) where the Holy Spirit wishes to dwell (Acts 17:24; 1 Cor. 6:19-20).
