After sharing some of his beliefs on Facebook, Georgia police officer Jacob Kersey was fired from his post because of it.
The 19-year-old police officer began his job in May of last year and according to him the job was going great until he posted a controversial statement on Facebook, which read:
God designed marriage. Marriage refers to Christ and the church. That’s why there is no such thing as homosexual marriage.
He said on January 2nd
Kersey was then ordered to delete the post the next day by his supervisor. He however refused and then was forced to speak with the Police Chief and other higher-ups over this post. According to him the department leaders said that that post was the “same thing as saying the N-word and ‘F*** all those homosexuals.” He was also told that he could “not post things like that” and he does not have freedom of speech because he is an officer.
He was then placed on administrative leave and then a week later he received a letter that he could be terminated for any post he makes on any of his social media platforms, or make any other statement that could be viewed as offensive.
Kersey ultimately decided to stick to his guns and was forced to resign.
Because of this First Liberty – “the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated exclusively to defending religious liberty for all Americans” – has decided to take up this case against the Port Wentworth Police Department, saying that the officers clearly discriminated against his faith.
The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment protects Mr. Kersey’s right to express his Christian beliefs in his personal life and discuss his faith while off duty…The Free Exercise Clause does not permit the State to confine religious speech to whispers or banish it to broom closets. If it did, the exercise of one’s religion would not be free at all…The Department’s actions send a message to Christians who hold traditional biblical beliefs about marriage that they are unwelcome as police officers or city employees.
First Liberty sent in a letter to the department
First Liberty is also ‘asking the city and the Police Department to issue a public statement committing to respect the First Amendment rights of its officers and to announce an official change of policy that’s fully consistent with the First Amendment.’
Furthermore, First Liberty said in their press release:
The idea that an employer can threaten to fire an employee for simply expressing a deeply held religious belief while off-duty is chilling. The discrimination this young public servant faced could have come out of an Orwellian novel. The ominous “Speech Police” became all too real. City officials sought to control what Jacob was allowed to say, and decided his religious views were “inappropriate” for public viewing.
Beyond being outrageous and dystopian, the city’s actions are illegal. Federal law prevents Americans from being punished by their employers for expressing their religious beliefs. The law is clear: Employers cannot retaliate against employees because of their religious beliefs and practices. What’s more, they may not create a work environment that is hostile toward religion and must protect employees from harassment.
In an interview The Daily Signal Kersey revealed that what he had said was nothing new and had been saying something similar for many years on a podcast as well before hired by the police department.

[13] Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house. [15] He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 17:13, 15
This is yet another canary in the coalmine as to how far this country has collapsed and despises anything the Lord has to say in his word.
I have already been reporting on how the censorship is really ratcheting in 2023, and this is yet another example.
One of the key tenets to a social credit score and how the handlers will be able to get the masses to obey in lockstep is because they will bring up past “transgressions,” and penalize people for the “bad speak” they said over a decade ago. We’ve seen this with the era of cancel culture we have now.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

13 PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE THAT DEBUNK SODOMY
I. Deut 23:17 II. Leviticus 18:22 III. Leviticus 20:13 IV. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 V. Romans 1:18-32 VI. Jude 7 VII. 1 Timothy 1:8-10 VIII. Mark 10:6-9 IX. Genesis 19 X. 1 Kings 14:24 XI. 2 Kings 23:7 XII. Matthew 19:4-6 XIII. Leviticus 18
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: and heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Luke 10:3-12 KJV
Do not forget: this was when Jesus was offering himself & the kingdom to the Jews. They rejected him, colluded with the Romans….no king but Caesar, joining the Babylonian world empire & casting their lot with it to their loss….to the crucifying of the Lord.

Here is what he said after he entered Jerusalem & was rejected of the leadership, knowing that the people would follow them in betraying & rejecting him….not to mention Judas, the traitor amongst the close disciples.

Lu 22:36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Lu 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
Lu 22:38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough

Joh 16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

This cloud has a very SILVER lining. He is now becoming a national celebrity for the cause of freedom. He has a GREAT legal group representing him, he will WIN this case and hopefully make TONS of money on interviews, books, etc whatever comes along. he will get MANY police job officers from non-psychopathic REAL police departments. This is like the story of JOB in the bible and i am NOT a big religion or bible person, although the reality of our current world is starting to make me think about my beliefs.. Job was tested by God as is Mr. Kersey. Job won the battle with the devil and god rewarded him. God will reward Mr. Kersey as well. Its already started. Cannot believe I am actually talking bible….never ever
This bible passage really made me think: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter isaiah 5:20. think i found it on this site
The tragedy & cunning is such that even if this young man is saved truly & biblically….the foul spirits & usual suspects who attach themselves to him & his testimony corrupt it. May the will of the Lord prevail, & those steeped in bitterness & on the way of Cain in our own midst repent. This is why the ordination of the churches is such that the bad leaven may be purged out….and I’m not talking about buildings.
Grow up, Andrew. The empire lives on, and the United States was simply the place that the remnant could flee to from the worst of it for so long as the remnant kept the word. You serve the ‘transformers’ & sorcerers with your foolishness & bitterness. What did the Lord save YOU from?
–
All those who are deceived that the US is the ‘great Satan’, NYC Babylon etc , as the builders & sorcerers of craft, the masters, craft the narrative, will see her clever ‘transformation’, gutting & demise by the sorcerers & craft devils as ‘the Church’ ….the fornicating ecumenical conglomeration of idolatrous humanism …& its ‘triumph’ as ‘the stone cut out without hands’ in blasphemous usurpation of the place & power of the Lord Jesus Christ of the Godhead.

Go to the scriptures & read, & mark my words.

Heb 4:11-5:14 ¶ Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Heb 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
–
Heb 5:1 ¶ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Heb 5:2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Heb 5:3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Heb 5:4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
Heb 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Heb 5:6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Heb 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
–
Heb 5:10 ¶ Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Heb 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
Heb 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Blindly & blasphemously they will be going from bad to worse in fulfillment of 1 Thess 5, going on in preening self-righteousness to the receiving & serving of the antichrist with the rest of the unrepentant & proud. Go to the word & read. The wine of the vine of Sodom is pride, bitterness & hypocrisy. The only prophet who ever ran from the Lord’s commandment to run with his word was Jonah. He’s a lousy role model to choose.
When did Andrew say that America was great Babylon? I didn’t get that from Andrew. Andrew can speak for himself, but that’s not what I got from that. But it just seems that you are a woman that is quick to attack the brethren, am I wrong?
The scriptures will be fulfilled.
The scriptures are being fulfilled .
Praise the Lord for his judgements are wonderful, to be feared and righteous!
Thank you LORD for your blessings on me and all the church.
The wrath of our Father is a consuming fire INDEED !
