In Egypt, the cross was used to represent creative power, and the Egyptian gods are often depicted holding a Crux andada, or cross with a handle, which was an emblem of nature's reproductive powers. Luke 9:23-26 [23]And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. [24]For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. [25]For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? [26]For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. The word "cross" in Hebrew translates to "rod". For example, the Hebrew idiom "take up your cross" implies that one should not be greedy or self-centered.  Is a cross a pagan symbol? Many people regard the cross as a symbol of Christianity, but it is originally a pagan idol. Long before Christianity was formed, the cross had been used as a symbol of pagan religions. Yes, the cross was used as a symbol before Christ came to Earth, and it had many different meanings: Pagan origin Historians believe the cross symbol originated from the capital letter "T" in the name of the false savior Tammuz, the illegitimate son of the goddess Semiramis in the 23rd century BC. The Assyrians and Babylonians honored the cross as a religious symbol over 800 years before the Christian era. Ancient Egypt The ankh, an ancient Egyptian hieroglyph, is a version of the cross symbol that was used in the worship of the god Aten and represented "life". The cross was also used in Egyptian amulets, such as the Nefer, which combined a male cross with a female orb to symbolize sacred marriage and sexual harmony. However, some Christians do not use the cross in worship because it has pagan origins and is associated with nature worship and sex rites. The Bible condemns idolatry and devotion to pagan symbols, and early Christians may not have used the cross because crucifixion was a shameful form of execution. The first known public image of Jesus's crucifixion is thought to be on the wooden doors of the Basilica of Santa Sabina in Rome, which dates back to the fifth century.

In Isaiah 5:20 he says “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” Likewise, in 10:1 he says “Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees”. There is nothing new under the sun. The three main ways that the Constitution protects against tyranny are Federalism, Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances. The Checks and Balances is included in the Constitution to protect the United States from tyranny. The saying "When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty" is often attributed to Thomas Jefferson. The quote implies that when a government becomes tyrannical and oversteps its authority, the governed have a responsibility to overthrow it and restore the people's right to freedom and consent-based governance. While the quote is commonly misattributed to Jefferson, similar ideas are expressed in the Declaration of Independence, where he states that citizens living under a tyrannical government have the right and duty to "throw off such Government. What is a famous quote about unjust laws? One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. tax without regard to the number of months the tax has been delinquent. A delinquent tax continues to incur the penalty provided by this subsection as long as the tax remains unpaid, regardless of whether a judgment for the delinquent tax has been rendered.

Taxation without representation" is a phrase that describes a situation where a government requires citizens to pay taxes but does not allow them to have a say in the government's policies. The phrase originated as a slogan used by American colonists in the 1760s and 1770s to protest British rule. The colonists were angry about being taxed by the British government without being able to elect representatives to Parliament in London. The slogan became well-known after the Sugar Act was passed in 1764 and eventually led to the Boston Tea Party, in which colonists threw crates of tea into the harbor to protest the tax.  The phrase "taxation without representation is tyranny" was also used by the colonists. The principle of requiring consent from the people on taxation issues can be traced back to the Magna Carta in 1215.  oday, "taxation without representation" is also the unofficial motto of Washington, D.C. residents, who pay federal taxes and serve in the military but are denied some of the rights that other states enjoy. Statehood would grant D.C. residents full representation in Congress .

A Texas megachurch pastor has stepped down after confessing to “moral failures” — and church leadership has barred congregants from talking about what happened.

Tony Cammarota, who had served as a pastor at the Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, for 17 years, stepped down on July 7 after he “confessed to church leadership of a moral failure,” a letter from the church to congregants read.

“He is deeply remorseful but his sin disqualifies him from serving on our staff as a pastor,” the letter, obtained by church watchdog group watchkeep.org, read.

On display now at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., is a special exhibit centered on a rare Bible from the 1800s that was used by British missionaries to convert and educate slaves. What's notable about this Bible is not just its rarity but its content, or rather the lack of content. It excludes any portion of text that might inspire rebellion or liberation. Anthony Schmidt, associate curator of Bible and Religion in America at the museum, says the first instance of this abridged version titled Parts of the Holy Bible, selected for the use of the Negro Slaves, in the British West-India Islands, was published in 1807. Deuteronomy 28:60-68 [60] Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. [61] Also, every sickness and every plague that is not written in the book of this law, they will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. [62] And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude, because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. [63]And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good and to multiply you, so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you and to bring you to naught; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. [64] And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. [65] And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, nor shall the sole of thy foot have rest; but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: [66] And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: [67] In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even? and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart, wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes, which thou shalt see. [68] And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you. Genesis 15:13-14 [13] And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; [14] And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge, and afterward shall they come out with great substance. That same Holy Bible tells negro slaves they will be free after 400 years and they will go into captivity by ships. Your 400 years are up by the same token you put us in slavery, the same token we are coming out and we are out.   Luke 9:1-2 [1] Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all devils .
