As long as brumar and gregoree submit to secular law they can continue glad-handing each other. I believe it is their right to practice their beliefs outside the closet. This way it can be noted for future reference by the civil authorities who to keep an eye on.
The bible clearly states brumar and gregoree must submit to civil authority. gregoree educated us submission must be made to anyone seeking public adoration.
I would make their clubs pay taxes and provide weekly records that would be audited monthly on their activities. They should also be made to wear armbands or hats so they can be easily identified.

Romans 13:
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. |
