The Bible has been used to argue both sides of issues for centuries.

There are passages that both condemn violence and that call for violence.

There are verses that support slavery and that condemn it.

    And all of those can be “interpreted” by the reader or church to mean whatever they want.

    Which is what we’re used to.

    But for the first time in a long time we have government leaders basically telling the church “nuh uh…” and not even offering a rebuttal like “my religion says…” They’re just gaslighting like a contradictory 4 year old with chocolate on their face being asked if they ate all the brownies.

    To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. -Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8.
