I thought that the SCOTUS just ruled that government has to remain neutral and that this isn't allowed?

Dr. Robert Jeffress – First Baptist Dallas Forced to Remove Freedom Sunday Billboards
Prophecy In The News ~ June 19 2018
Dr. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, TX, was forced to remove his billboards that read “America is a Christian Nation.” They were advertising his special church service to be help on June 24, 2018 called Freedom Sunday. The Democratic mayor wants to shut him down and appears to be using his political power and influence to do so. Do you ever get the feeling that in America today, it is becoming more and more evil in the eyes of the elite to be a Christian? So very sad to see our nation going in this direction. Watch Dr. Jeffress response as he was interviewed on Fox News:

Amazing absolutely amazing the Mayor now weighing in on this and then going after the billboard company. Satan's time must be getting real short now he seems to be pulling out all of the stops against Christians.

Yes Satan's time is REAL short...but just remember that it's from God's timeline. For Peter said to "not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." We may still have a "little while."

True but I am not betting one way or the other the later it gets. I just see things that we did not see back in the 50's and 60's. But until the Lord gives me his time line I am in the dark like all of the rest of us.

===============
I am not surprised. The mayor of Dallas is a democrat.
The Church of pastor Jeffress has all the rights to putting out the billboard on his church property. This is about the freedom of speech of the Church among the congregants narrating the history of this country as a Christian. This is a Christian country. I have written at OPP a number of times some historical events how this country started as a Christian since its Foundation. I have written about how the First Congressional Christian prayer was conducted on Sept. 7, 1774. With them was George Washington, the First President of the United States. Now I am putting it up again. Because this is history of our country, no one can blindfold us and deny us to know the truth, and the facts as well.

The prayer was very beautiful. Again, here is part of the history of our country. Why are we prevented from knowing our history? Is this now Marxism of Obama? America, wake up!

=========================
America was founded by Christians. In 1492, Columbus funded by King and Queen of Spain sailed his voyage to the West. His journey was continued by Amerigo’s Vespucci in 1496. Thus, America was named after him.

In early 1500 to 1600, The earliest settlers were Christians from Europe who came to escape the religious persecutions of the King of England. They came with nothing except their most priceless possession of the Christian Holy Bible.

They had nothing else and they suffered so much due to severe cold weather, with no home to live. They built homes, cleaned up field and farmed the fields with their bare hands. Later they trained horses to help them plow the fields. The extreme weather, and dangers from Indians, diseases, more than half of the settlers died. They struggled worked very hard at the same time defended their lives from the Indians.

Many among them emerged brilliant Founders who’ve created the Foundation of their nation, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This was created under the guidance of Judeo-Christian doctrine. 100 percent of the Founders were Christians. Except one in doubt (Jefferson) but later believed in God.

1776 was our nations Independence from England. And our first president George Washington set into office in 1789. Washington was a firm believer of Christ. Check his statue kneeling to God, at Saint Paul Church in NYC, near the Ground Zero, miraculously saved by God, during the Islam bombing of NYC on Sept. 11, 2001.

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence. The phrase gives three examples of the "unalienable rights" which the Declaration says have been given to all human beings by our Creator, and which governments are created to protect.

Our Founders suffered several wars protecting the sovereign of this nation.
War of 1812
Some call it the Second War of Independence, for when it ended, and the US had fought Great Britain to a stalemate, America's independence was assured. Each of the major events in this war are covered.

Revolutionary War
From 1775 to 1782, the Americans faced off against the largest empire in the world. Led by General Washington they won. Learn about the causes of the war and follow each battle in this section.

Civil War
It was America's bloodiest war as brother fought brother. Learn about the battles, read first-hand accounts, and even watch a multimedia presentation.

Spanish American War
America became a world power with its victory over the Spanish in this war. Learn about the major events in this war in the section.

World War I
Millions died in the fields of Europe, sometimes while fighting over a few disputed yards. Learn about the major battles and events in this the first major war of the century.

World War II
It was a war like no other and covered all corners of the globe. Learn about the major battles of the war in this section.

And later so many other wars. But these are the wars that defended the very survival of our country.
Millions of them died, our grandparents, parent, husbands, brothers and sisters all poured out their blood for the sake of freedom that so many of the recent people who came later here took them for granted.

Now, these invaders who don't believe in Christ, or Muslims, and illegals want to take away our land where millions of our loved ones have suffered and died for it.

These invaders who came and enjoyed the fruits of the labor of our Christian Founders, now claim this is their land and not a Christian country. They better pack up and go back where they came from.

Contrary to popular belief, the phrase "separation of church and state" is not in the U.S. Constitution.

In fact, not one of the ninety Founding Fathers stated, argued for or against, or even referred to such a phrase when they debated for months about the specific words to use when writing the First Amendment. Congressional Records from June 7 to September 25, 1789 reveal that none of these men, including Thomas Jefferson, ever used the phrase.

Prayer in Congress on Sept. 7, 1774.
The 35th Psalm, the Psalter for the seventh day of September was read by Rev. Mr. Duché in the first Continental Congress:
Plead my cause, Oh, Lord, with them that strive with me, fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of buckler and shield, and rise up for my help. Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me; Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.” Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life; Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.

“O Lord our Heavenly Father, high and mighty King of kings, and Lord of lords, who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers on earth and reignest with power supreme and uncontrolled over all the Kingdoms, Empires and Governments; look down in mercy, we beseech Thee, on these our American States, who have fled to Thee from the rod of the oppressor and thrown themselves on Thy gracious protection, desiring to be henceforth dependent only on Thee. To Thee have they appealed for the righteousness of their cause; to Thee do they now look up for that countenance and support, which Thou alone canst give. Take them, therefore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in Council and valor in the field; defeat the malicious designs of our cruel adversaries; convince them of the unrighteousness of their Cause and if they persist in their sanguinary purposes, of own unerring justice, sounding in their hearts, constrain them to drop the weapons of war from their unnerved hands in the day of battle!

Be Thou present, O God of wisdom, and direct the councils of this honorable assembly; enable them to settle things on the best and surest foundation. That the scene of blood may be speedily closed; that order, harmony and peace may be effectually restored, and truth and justice, religion and piety, prevail and flourish amongst the people. Preserve the health of their bodies and vigor of their minds; shower down on them and the millions they here represent, such temporal blessings as Thou seest expedient for them in this world and crown them with everlasting glory in the world to come. All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thy Son and our Savior.
Amen.”

The Library of Congress, from the collected reports of the various patriots, recorded on a famous historical placard the effect of that first prayer upon Congress:

Washington was kneeling there, and Henry, Randolph, Rutledge, Lee, and Jay, and by their side there stood, bowed in reverence, the Puritan Patriots of New England, who at that moment had reason to believe that an armed soldiery was wasting their humble households. It was believed that Boston had been bombarded and destroyed.

They prayed fervently “for America, for Congress, for the Province of Massachusetts Bay, and especially for the town of Boston,” and who can realize the emotion with which they turned imploringly to Heaven for Divine interposition and — “It was enough” says Mr. Adams, “to melt a heart of stone. I saw the tears gush into the eyes of the old, grave, Pacific Quakers of Philadelphia.”

Excellent Radiance thank you for that.

Recently the Irving city council voted *not to recognize* sharia law. Immediately the Muslim bad boys screamed bias and began pressuring neighboring mayors Rawlins being the first. Of course, he cowered. (Texans aren't cut from the original cloth anymore)
