I am confident of my salvation, my brother. It is granted by the same Father who put a tree of choice before Adam and Eve. I chose the life-giving tree long ago.

I am very happy to hear that. But, the tree did not afford them spiritual restoration, and the blood spilled of the animals slain for their hides was only a temporary forward looking fix until the day Christ came and offered His perfect life as the necessary sacrifice on the cross. So, you still insist you can honor The Father by extending homage to those who worship false gods?

The Old Testament is replete with examples of times when the people of Israel tried to make Jehovah first and Baalim second. God rejected them for such in that day, just as He will reject those of similar err in this day. Judges 2:11-15 (KJV)
11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
12 And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.

We have to be smart enough to love those who worship false gods, while we reject the temptation to either legitimize or alienate them for doing so. Our lives lived in exemplification of Christ will be the supportive influence they need while the Holy Spirit opens their eyes and convicts them of their lost state. They will start the conversation when they're ready to learn more. In the meantime, there is absolutely no need to dignify them in their ignorance with the baptism of liberalism, which embraces all deities as equals. Obama does exactly that just about every time he speaks. Just as he maligns Republicans for what he perceives to be their intolerance to that end, every time he speaks. There is no international brotherhood of man outside of Christ.

When we started making laws that carved out special conditions for special interest groups, we opened the lid to Pandora's box. This government has already made insurgent forays into the sovereign purview of God when they made, for example, the homosexually deviant a protected class. They decide on secular terms, who is to be coddled, excused, and subsidized, by government and the tax dollars of those deemed by the same sort of short sightedness to have somehow been unfairly advantaged. We used to call that condition equality of opportunity BTW. So, the very government which has turned it's back on the moral authority to govern, is already quite comfortable in defining what is morally right on secular terms and that is what is truly dangerous. By no means do I accept the notion that government has edged up to a legislative line in the sand over which they are unwilling to cross under the ever flexing vagaries of the concept of the separation of Church and state.
