FREE WILL STATEMENT

WE FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE THE FOLLOWING

FREE WILL STATEMENT DUE TO ABUSERS
LIKE THE MURDERERS OF TERRY SHIAVO, HOSPICE,
WIFE ABUSER AND CHILD TORTURER, ART MILLER,
THOSE WHO STOOD WITH HIM (SEE 5-11-08 SERMON BELOW),
ALL OTHER ABUSERS, AND FRIENDS OF THE SAME.

Pastor Samples, Pastor Hamm, and any and all members of BBCG (the Bible Baptist Church of Gainesville) hereby and herein formally state our complete and total objection to the involuntary subjugation of ANY man, woman, or child - regardless of Race, Creed, Gender, and/or age! (except of course to God at HIS judgment for us all.)

Simply put, this means (but not limited to ... we mean these things and ALL other similar things) that we believe, advocate, and advise all that:

      Old people should be people of their own free will, to make their own choices and choose their own God/gods, "paths," opinions, beliefs, submissions and/or non-submissions, and any and ALL other legal choices.
      Sick people should be people of their own free will, to make their own choices and choose their own God/gods, "paths," opinions, beliefs, submissions and/or non-submissions, and any and ALL other legal choices.
      Every man should be people of their own free will, to make their own choices and choose their own God/gods, "paths," opinions, beliefs, submissions and/or non-submissions, and any and ALL other legal choices.
      Every woman should be people of their own free will, to make their own choices and choose their own God/gods, "paths," opinions, beliefs, submissions and/or non-submissions, and any and ALL other legal choices.
      Every child should be people of their own free will, to make their own choices and choose their own God/gods, "paths," opinions, beliefs, submissions and/or non-submissions, and any and ALL other legal choices.
      EVERY individual on the face of the earth should be people of their own free will, to make their own choices and choose their own God/gods, "paths," opinions, beliefs, submissions and/or non-submissions, and any and ALL other legal choices.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

We also herein formally state, make plain, set forth, advocate, and advise (as well as formally supersede, nullify, counteract, rescind, and subjugate ANY and ALL previous AND subsequent teaching, preaching, statements, or any and all other communications public and private from us that may be construed or interpreted properly or improperly to mean otherwise) ALL that in addition to the statements above, we abhor, hate, and despise the abuse of ANY individual
such as a woman, a wife, a child (ESPECIALLY a child), and even a man.

ANY construance or interpretation otherwise (by ourselves or anyone else) is herein formally declared false.

ALSO:
We believe every word in the King James Bible to be true and from the LORD God. We do not apologize for or advocate any change of God's words; however, we know and believe that part of those very words include passages like Romans 13 (and other like passages e.g. I Peter 2: 13-17) in which the LORD demands of those who choose to be subject to Him to submit and subject themselves to their respective governments and authorities.

ALSO:
Where God's words are in disagreement with authorities of this world GOD (NOT US in any way!) will hold those authorities responsible in HIS own righteous judgment, judge those authorities to be righteous and/or evil, and execute HIS vengeance and/or blessing upon them in HIS time.

ALSO:
These truths apply in proper balance to ALL things in the Bible and ALL of the actions of any man, woman, or child.
For example:
The Bible says plainly that child discipline is good and right; however, it is our plain understanding that our government and authorities (Rom 13, I Pet 2, et al) do not want children to be disciplined except by their standards (which change). Therefore it is right and good to submit to these authorities and NOT to discipline children - THIS is our formal, official teaching, preaching and advice to any and all and ANY deviation from this teaching/preaching/advice perceived (real or unreal, construed or interpreted) or unperceived is hereby and herein and from hereon and retroactively nullified, superseded, and replaced.

ALSO:
The word of God (and therein God) plainly says many things in the Bible that are misinterpreted by evil-minded and rebellious ones as excuses for sin! We abhor these aberrations of interpretation and excuses for sin.
For example:
God plainly says that the best order of a household is for the husband to love the wife and honour her (Eph 5, I Pet 3, et al) and for the wife to submit (which is voluntary, thus the instruction!) herself to her husband (Eph 5, et al) and for children to obey their parents (Eph. 6, et al).
AT NO TIME does the Bible (NOR US) advocate or teach the subjection of the wife etc... by the husband.
The relationship is likened to Christ and the church and the Bible is PLAIN that the LORD desires the church to submit herself to Him; BUT, is ALSO plain that it is an act of free will and free choice (see Joshua 24:15, et al) just as choosing salvation and even choosing to worship God are free choices of a free will.
ANY person who misinterprets or construes these things to mean that a man should subjugate his wife (especially using ANY form of abuse) is deemed by us to be a liar against God and His words, and to be evil and wrong just as ANY person who would use the Bible as excuse or for any other reason to abuse or mistreat children IN ANY WAY would be liars, wicked, and evil.

These are our statements, beliefs, teachings, and advice to ALL; superceding any and all construances and interpretations otherwise in the past or future; and, standing in opposition to any and all abusers of others.
