A TWENTY FIRST CENTURY PARAPHRASE OF DANIEL 3: 8-16

The U.S. Has legitimized two gold statues Called Sodomy and Lesbianism.” They have been inscribed in our textbooks, fiction books, discussed in our universities, and showed them on our screens, been accepted in our liberal so called churches, and finally passed into law to by our Supreme Court to legitimize them.

The U.S. sent word to assemble the politicians, pastors, culture-makers, critics, business people, judges, and law enforcers, and all the influencers of the different spheres of culture to attend the dedication of the statues that society had set up.

So the politicians, pastors, culture-makers, critics, businesspeople, judges, law enforcers, and all the influencers of the different spheres of culture assembled for the dedication of the statues.

The news media and courts loudly proclaimed:

“People of every state and region, race and religion, you are no matter where or when or how, or whether or not you agree to clap your hands and celebrate theses gold statues that the United States of America has set up. But whoever does not clap their hands and celebrate will immediately be marginalized, cast aside, and silenced.”

Therefore, when all the people saw anyone practicing male or female homosexuality, people of every state and region, race and religion, clapped their hands and celebrated the gold statue that the U.S. had set up.

Some took this occasion to come forward and maliciously accuse the Christians. They said to American citizens:

Long live your country! Our society has issued a decree that anyone who encounters our statues must clap their hands and celebrate their bold stand. Whoever does not clap their hands and celebrate will be marginalized, cast aside, and silenced.

There are some Christians however, who manage businesses, hospitals, pharmacies, and adoption agencies. They are bakers, photographers, and florists. These people have ignored you, America. They do not serve your gods or celebrate the gold statues you have set up.”

Then in a furious rage the U.S. citizenry gave orders to bring in the offenders. So these people were brought before the cultural gatekeepers. Society asked them:

“Is it true that you don’t serve our gods or celebrate the gold statues of lesbianism and homosexuality we have set up?

Now if you’re ready, when you see these: sodomites, lesbians, bi sexual and Trans -gendered paraded in front of you, clap your hands and celebrate their coming out! But if you don’t celebrate them you will immediately be marginalized, cast aside, and silenced — and who will be able to rescue you from our penalties and fines?”

The Christians replied to their fellow citizens,

“Beloved countrymen, we don’t need to give an answer to this question. If the God we serve exists, then He can sustain us in the event we are being marginalized, cast aside, and silenced, and He can rescue us from craving approval from the rest of our society.”

” But even if He does not protect us from your penalties and fines, we want you as a society to know that we will not serve your gods or celebrate the gold statues you set up.”
