Without the Bible, country goes downhill

Jesus said: “Woe unto the world because of offenses for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!”
Led by the spirit of Antichrist, public officials are deceived. Truly born-again Christians will not accept nor inculcate the abomination of same-sex marriage. It generates the lie that the Bible is not the word of God.
The spirit of Antichrist causes a presumption. Law defines it: “ ... an attitude adopted toward something in absence of contrary factors.”
There is no absence of contrary factors to the sin of legislating evil, i.e., “those who give their mouth to evil, and their tongue to frame deceit;” e.g., forcing the same-sex and the imprudent sex education agenda on 11-year-olds, abortion funding tacked on to ObamaCare, dictating the buying and distributing of condoms ...
Truly born again Christians will obey the Lord and preach the Bible.
Will the government put us in concentration camps? Fine us openly or secretly by sin tacked on to legislation? Terrorize us for distributing Gospel pamphlets?
How many school boards will allow teaching of “sharia law” and continue to trash the Only True God, and the Ten Commandments?
Benjamin Franklin said, “We've given you a Republic if you can keep it.” Without the Bible, public officials are flushing our Republic down the toilet.
