    Atheist Group Attacks for WH Bible Study, Ben Carson Drops Scorching Response


    When Atheist Group Attacks Him for Attending WH Bible Study, Ben Carson Drops Scorching Response

    The secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, is well-known for his outspoken Christian faith....



    ...The charge against Carson is being led by the advocacy group, Freedom From Religion. They are now suing him for fees they incurred in FOIA requests to find out who was in the group. The goal of their request was to find out if Federal money was used to fund the Bible study....

    Mr. Carson took his personal Facebook page to address the suit, where he makes a strong stand for his faith. He simply puts it like this:

    "I will not stop being a Christian while in service to this country."

    The full post is as follows:

    The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) are apparently filing a lawsuit against HUD and me, alleging that they are being treated unfairly because they are required to pay a standard fee when requesting information through the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) regarding my participation in the weekly Bible study for cabinet members. They are fearful that a hot beverage or a bagel may be consumed at the expense of taxpayers or that staff may be coerced to participate in religious activities against their will.

    First of all, taxpayer funds are not used to support the ministry, and secondly, no staff are involved in the Bible study.More importantly, I refuse to be intimidated by anti-religious groups ...... One of the principles of our nation's founding is freedom of religion. I will not stop being a Christian while in service to this country, in fact, it is my faith that helps me serve the nation even better. The relentless attacks on the spirituality of our nation must be resisted. We are not like everyone else, which is precisely the reason that we rose so rapidly from obscurity to become the most powerful and free nation in history......







    This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity (futility) of their mind, having the understanding darkened...
    (Ephesians 4:17-18)

    Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...
    (Psalm 1)

    Just like a bunch of whiny liberals to request info and then sue the guy they're trying to get some 'dirt' on for what it cost them to do it.

    Just read it this morning. I'm admiring Dr. Carson more and more each day! Love how he responds to his critics; and even when he doesn't respond, it speaks volumes! That's why I supported him when he ran for POTUS. So glad he's on Trump's team!

    Carson is a Mormon or some cult. I lost my enthusiasm for him.

    I’m sure he’s losing sleep over your lack of enthusiasm for him as are those of us that are still enthusiastic.

    Thou shalt not laugh at your brother's lack of enthusiasm.

    Here is the last part of his full post....


    .....We sometimes smugly say that we won the cold war with the Soviet Union, but it was Joseph Stalin, the Russian tyrant who said the United States could be destroyed from within by eroding three things: our patriotism, our morality, and our spirituality. These things are currently under severe attack. We the people must decide who we are and what we stand for. If we don't, the ending of the Cold War might change dramatically.

    Love Ben Carson. Like Val-W, I wanted him to be president (he was my FIRST choice) but the Lord obviously had different plans but is still working through Carson.

    BTW, Carson is a Seventh Day Adventist. I am far from agreeing with them on some doctrines but I would not define them as a cult no more than I would a Baptist. Most SDA believe in the Trinity, the deity of Jesus and the Spirit, Jesus is the only way to salvation, the physical resurrection of Christ, holiness, the Bible is God's Word, and most other things we might define as essential.

    Beside all that, lentils aren't all that bad if cooked with a good recipe!
