So says a GOP (what did you expect) Congressional candidate from South Carolina.

Quote:

Mark Burns, a MAGA pastor who is running for Congress in South Carolina, is an unabashed Christian nationalist who openly declares that “any policy that is contrary to the word of God” needs to be made illegal.

Burns appeared on the Real America’s Voice program “The Water Cooler” Monday, where he proclaimed that “the gospel of Jesus Christ should be [at] the center of American politics.” When asked by host David Brody what he meant by that, Burns declared that “any law that is against the word of God” must be overturned.

“Laws that are contrary to God’s word that are actively legal or laws today need to be overturned,” Burns said. “Any law that is against the word of God, that is clearly against what God has said in his word—in a nation that is a Christian nation, a nation that has the majority of citizens who actively believe that Jesus is the Messiah, that he is coming back again with omnipotent power in his hands—if it’s against the word of God and it’s actively a law today, then it should be overturned. We should have a moral compass, and right now in America, we’re losing that moral compass. The liberal left is slowly [chipping] away.”

You will also be surprised to learn that this guy is a Trump cultist. We need to expose these fascists at every turn. It's sadly ironic how somebody running for Congress has no idea what the Constitution means.

Dear Mr. Burns,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding G^D's Law.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

1) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Leviticus 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

2) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Leviticus 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

3) Leviticus 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can I not own Canadians?

4) I would like to purchase my neighbor's daughter to be a household slave, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price to offer for her?

5) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

6) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Leviticus 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I do not agree. Can you settle this?

7) Leviticus 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of G^D if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

8) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Leviticus 19:27. How should they die?

9) I know from Leviticus 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean; but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10) My cousin has a farm. He violates Leviticus 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton / polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Leviticus 24:10-16) Could not we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Leviticus 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that G^D's word is eternal and unchanging.

Respectfully,

Fnord, the Metasyntactic Variable

The only Bible verses conservatives care about:

Leviticus 18:22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

1 Corinthians 14:34: Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission (their justification for supporting Trump over HRC in '16)

First, we hide the books, so they may not be burned.

And persuade the FCC to allow porn on CBS, ABC, NBC, et al, during the day

Well ... while that may save the networks, it may not save those who believe in free speech.

I'm sorry but I disagree, Divine law respects the law of Man.

Really? Divine Law places G^D and His will above all else. Have you read Romans 2:13 (NIV) lately?

"For it is not those who hear the Law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the Law who will be declared righteous." -- Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Romans

I understand that you don't like to me to post links but this is perhaps the best of explaining this concept. I find it difficult to follow but accept that I am a sinner and make mistakes which I acknowledge.

It is not the links that bother me, but your apparent lack of native knowledge and understanding of the things you claim.

You might try actually reading a Bible. Do you even have one?

Then I strongly suggest that you start reading it before you say another word about "G^D's will".
