Members Invicta Posted June 26, 2015 Members Share Posted June 26, 2015 The SJWs or Social Justice Warriors, as some call the liberals who want to control how everyone thinks an what everyone must believe, are after the Stars and Bars again and again for no good reason. When these control freaks have finally pushed too far maybe those who like the Star and Bars flag will make a slight change in it when they decide to rebel against the liberal idiots.

Members John81 Posted June 26, 2015 Members Share Posted June 26, 2015 What is the significance of the serpent?It comes from a colonial era flag. Just as one shouldn't step upon a serpent lest they suffer severe consequences, the serpent on the flag is warning others shouldn't tread upon them.

Oh I thought there might be some deep significance like the serpent on a pharmacists sign and on ambulances which represents Esculapius, the Roman god of medicine.

Hislop says Escapulus means "the life giving serpent." In paganism the serpent was correct when he he got Eve to eat the fruit. He gave men knowledge.

Members John81 Posted June 28, 2015 Members Share Posted June 28, 2015 Paul said it better than I can,"Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ," If the current thing going on concerning the Confederate Battle Flag (or monuments, or the American flag, or statues of past presidents, etc.) were actually a matter of casting things off for the sake of Christ I would be all for it. However, what's going on today with all of these "offensive" things being targeted for purging has nothing to do with Christ at all. This is all about power and control. On a personal level, I believe I mentioned something of this in another post (either in this thread or another) that I used to fly various flags but stopped flying any. The reason was that someone was offended or bothered by one or more flags and such was a barrier in speaking to folks about Christ. It's hard to talk to someone about Christ when they constantly interrupt by asking how can a Christian fly the American flag when it stands for Christian white male superiority, flew over slavery, oppressed women, was used in the genocide of American Indians, is an idol, etc. So, in order to have a better witness and more clear path to sharing the Gospel, I counted those flags as nothing and cast them aside.

Members Invicta Posted June 28, 2015 Members Share Posted June 28, 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsden_flagInteresting. My brother in law worked in the hospital service in the Isle of Wight. There was a man on the island who ran a snake form where he milked the snakes for their venom. One day he went into a hospital and said he had been bitten by a rattle snake. He was flown in a helicopter to a hospital on the mainland, but they said if it happened again he would be charged for the helicopter as they didn't believe he would not have taken the serum.

Members ThePilgrim Posted June 29, 2015 Members Share Posted June 29, 2015 It just seems like the politicians and bureaucrats have lost their minds. Do they really believe their will be no pushback from some in the citizenry or is that what they are hoping for? http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-confederate-flags-parks-20150625-story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Invicta Posted June 29, 2015 Members Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Over here in Europe car registration plates bear the EU Flag. In most countries in the EU this flag is compulsory. In the UK it is only optional. Some people put the St Georges flag on their registration plates. Some were told they would be prosecuted as only the EU flag was allowed. This caused somewhat of an outrage and the ruling was soon reversed. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-352842/Fined-having-St-George-sticker-car.html I refuse to have any flag on my registration plate. http://www.demonplates.com/news/flag-number-plates.php The 12 Star EU flag is taken from a stained glass window in Strasbourg Cathedral. The stars represent the stars around the head of images and statues of the RC 'Mary'. These often seen on the continent have the stars around the head and a crescent moon and a serpent under the feet. There's your serpent again. RCs get this image from Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: This, they say is 'Mary.'

Members 2ndTimothy Posted June 30, 2015 Members Share Posted June 30, 2015 It is very interesting to me to see the ruling on the Confederate flag come about the same time the Supreme Court decided the states did not have the right to nix gay marriage.

Get the people to watch the right hand so they will not see what the left hand is doing. John81 and Miss Daisy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heartstrings Posted July 1, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 1, 2015 I think they may be testing the waters, in preparation for bigger things. If propaganda and fake shootings don't work, the totalitarians will eventually try to confiscate America's guns...by force if necessary.
