Lift up your glass and raise up your pitcher to good Judge Roy Moore

At Iron Ink we talk a good deal about the lesser magistrate doctrine as developed by the Reformers and their descendants. This doctrine simply teaches that if Magistrates (Elected officials) at the top of the ladder go off the rails in wickedness then the Christian faith allows people to follow elected officials at a lower lever in overturning the design of wicked higher officials.

Some would contend that Alabama’s State Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore is just such a lesser Magistrate who is throwing off the wickedness of a lower Federal judge who has ruled that Alabama must allow sodomite and lesbian marriages. I disagree. It is my conviction that Judge Moore in this case is the higher magistrate overturning the ruling of the lesser lower Federal court judge. However, even if Judge Moore is a lesser magistrate he is still doing what is right both Constitutionally (Where does the US Constitution explicitly command that States must embrace sodomite marriage?) and according to Natural Law and according to Biblical Law.

My friends, somewhere a line has to be drawn or else we are going to discover that marriage can be defined as any combination imaginable. In this completely arbitrary definition of “marriage” that we are on the threshold off we will doubtless soon find a man, a woman who used to be a man, a man who used to be a woman, a homosexual transgender and their toaster all joined in holy wedlock.

May the Lord Christ bless Judge Roy Moore.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.

  1. Met him while the 10 Commandments in the Court Room issue was going on. He as brought in as the speaker for the local Christian School’s graduation. A very nice man

  2. Would it not be better to pray against the God haters who are pushing this abomination. Do you have no wrath for them. Also the evil talking heads say we let it happen. No it is being forced on us, just like integration. You better learn they never stop, never. We must fight like good soldiers of God.

    1. We can pray and work against the God haters at the same time right Ken? Ora et Labora?

      And we did let it happen. Inasmuch as we did not resist to the point of bloodshed we did let it happen.

  4. You may have let it happen, but I did not. However that is not so important as resistance to this evil is. I had to look up the latin phrase; you could have just used English, its a good language. It is not yet the time to resist to blood. God will move his people when the time is right. Alabama was my childhood home, so you must understand this is very personal to me. I say this so you will understand, I got a dog in this fight. If you are a Christian you better get a dog in this fight.
