Letters to the Editor

Thank you

Friends and family of the Gans Cemetery, The Gans Cemetery Association would like to thank you for your contributions. Our cemetery depends on your generosity for maintenance and improvements.

Flowers and other things that might hinder mowing need to be removed by June 10th. Saddle wreaths are fine.

Thank you for your continued support.

‘The violent take it by force’

Matthew 11-12 Jesus Said, “The violent take it by force.” Christ and Christianity must be chosen by each person’s free will. All of our rights and freedoms are given unto us by almighty God- and God-fearing people created a Constitution of laws, rights and freedoms for all to abide by, which was no coincidence, that they agree with biblical commandments, principles, ethics and precepts. No person, persons, committees or government agencies has the authority to violate, invalidate, assassinate or exterminate any one of these God-given rights that our Constitution guarantees to protect.

The executive department has sworn an oath to defend and uphold our Constitution, and everyone that has a badge and a gun are to see to it that nobody forces a thought, belief or agenda upon another. Hosea 4-6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.”

The First Amendment guarantees newspapers the right to print or not print whatsoever they choose, and Christians are free to speak and practice Christianity as they choose. Others are free to accept it or reject it, but they have no right to destroy our freedom of speech.

Some say they have freedom from religion. That’s correct, they are free to stay away and not receive it. They do not have a right to make us hush. The LBGTQ or whatever, that Q stands for queer, so I’ll refer to them as queers. They use violent methods to get Target and other retail stores to advertise, promote and sell clothing and toys that promote the queer sex acts, which an overwhelming majority of Americans are against. Those queers will threaten to bomb their business if they don’t obey their demands to fill the young impressionable minds of their ungodly agenda. We have the God-given right to speak out against this, and our government officials have vowed to protect us while we are talking. They cannot legislate a law to force us to think differently; neither can they make a law to stop us from voicing our opinion. All of us have a right to be wrong.

I believe the Bible is correct by condemning perverted acts between same-sex people. I believe the Bible is correct when it commands us to train up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. John 10-10 “The Devil comes to steal, kill and destroy, and he uses drugs, perverted lustful thoughts, pornography and hatefulness toward righteous authority. The moral majority must stand up and speak out for morality.
