    Mike Pence: Religious Freedom Is ‘Top Priority’ Of Trump Administration

    "The first freedom in the Constitution"


    Not only can religious conservatives count on President Trump to aid them in the pro-life movement, he can count on them to protect their religious freedoms, according to Vice President Mike Pence.


    Speaking at the first annual Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom this week, the vice president, along with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, expressed the Trump administration's commitment to protecting religious freedoms both domestically and abroad.

    They were addressing representatives from over 80 nations "to discuss challenges, identify concrete ways to combat religious persecution and discrimination, and ensure greater respect for religious freedom for all," according to the State Department.

    Victims of persecution also gave first-hand accounts of the brutality they faced....



    ....Pence said the United States will lead the world by example in supporting religious freedom.

    "The American founders enshrined religious freedom as the first freedom in the Constitution of the United States, and America has always and will always lead the world by our example," Pence said, adding that cultures with no respect for religious liberty are more violent.

    "There is no escaping the plain fact that North Korea’s leadership has exacted unparalleled privation and cruelty upon its people for decades," he said.

    Pence also warned that Western democracies also threaten religious freedom, highlighting the fact that "just 70 years after the Holocaust, attacks on Jews, even on aging Holocaust survivors, are growing at an alarming rate" across Europe.






    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)

    Is the latter a matter of European governments removing religious freedoms for Jews or is it rather a matter of the inhabitants breaking laws protecting religious freedoms at a growing rate ? There's a huge difference between the two.

    You tell me.

    Priority's matter. Priority's are highlighted and actions are taken.

    What is the E.U.'s priority?

    Does it include actual religious freedoms, in deed and not in word only?

    Either way it's not good.

    I'm personally more concerned that Europeans governments, including the Norwegian one, might end up protecting minorities like Muslims and Jews and neglecting or outright persecuting Christians, especially those that are more than nominally Christian.

    The evil spirits at work behind the scenes are not going to protect or favor Jews.

    I can assure you that the Norwegian government is very much on the side of the Jews here against outright anti-semitism, whether it's from Muslims or from neo-Nazis. Their policies towards Israel, that is a different matter.
