According to the speech Congress voted to criminalize a particular “biblical teaching”?

“…The world around us says that we should keep our beliefs to ourselves whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We fear speaking truth, because now, unfortunately, truth is in the minority. Congress just passed a bill where stating something as basic as the biblical teaching of who killed Jesus could land you in jail…”

Which one? How did you vote, Mark (r)?

Do not trust the media, and their headlines and synopsis. Listen to the entire speech yourself.
This has opened up a great discussion with my friends and family. We need to be having this discussion all over America, in a calm and loving way, truly listening and understanding one another.
Harrison uses the term “vocation” at least ten times in this speech:
“a particular occupation, business, or profession; calling. Synonyms: pursuit, employment. a strong impulse or inclination to follow a particular activity or career. a divine call to God’s service or to the Christian life.”
God has a plan and purpose for your life. It’s not the same for every person. It’s your job to find out what that is and make it happen.
So I challenge you to listen to the entire speech. Form your own conclusions. Ask yourself why do you feel the way you do? And most importantly what is GOD’S will in your life? What is YOUR vocation?
Please only comment after you’ve invested the time to listen…. Not read the transcript… but listen!!!!
Love you all!!!!

You mean, like blood libel?

Some of the responses:

Blood libel. He repeated the blood libel.
Anti Semitic talk and actions on the rise and he digs up 2000 year old lies and repeats the Blood Libel. The first and greatest antisemitic comment of all time. The bases for thousands of years hate towards the Jewish people.
Are you defending his blood libel?

I read the whole speech. Leaving aside our differences of tradition, I would point out that he made an antisemitic remark during the speech. I’m also not too pleased with what seems to be his biblical illiteracy. Anyone who is familiar with Jesus interacting with the Sadducees and Pharisees would know that Jesus was not a fan of people using tradition or politics to narrow the appeal of God. I get that it is now common in certain conservative religious movements, but Matthew 22:34-40 stands as the ultimate commandment. You can judge someone for their dirty feet, but Jesus would wash them without judgment. I believe the faith has been diminishing precisely because so many would spit on Jesus if it meant having to part with the most conservative elements of their politics.

Heard it
‘deliberate lie’ and the whole ‘degenerate’ things didn’t sit well with me….as well as several other of his implications.
Ot apparently with the nuns who sponsor the school.
I have no problem with him using his speech.
I have no problem with those who support or oppose him.
But please don’t pretend that because I don’t see it the way you do that I must not have heard or read the speech…that’s insulting

What happened no border crisis anymore?

We see what you did there.

Im glad that worked do you, and would support anyone who could have that option…IF THEY WANTED IT… however
you don’t get to speak for all women and not all women can be bio mothers…or want to be.
I believe women should be able to make that choice for themselves.
I also think women can have plenty of value without being married or parents….I have plenty of friends who fit this and do not deserve to be looked down on for their choices.
I have yet to EVER hear someone say that to be a parent is not a valuable position, so yeah …that ‘lie’ doesn’t hold up in my world.
Not to mention… Who started this ‘lie’?
