A rebuttal
to Copley’s role….spokesman for Arkansas Friendship Coalition

By embracing the wage issue as a
core part of their message, progressives have seen direct political gains. In
an era of frayed relationships with the faith-based community, the issue has
created an alliance for progressives with religious leaders, especially
Catholic and other denominational officials who have made living wage issues a
core part of their social justice teachings. It gives progressives what the Rev.
Steven Copley, who led a recent successful minimum wage drive in Arkansas,
calls “a moral issue, a faith issue and a family values issue” to rally
supporters.1

I have to ask: Just who do you serve
Stephen? Do you serve the LORD God, or man in the form a of a communist,
humanist agenda? By the way, just what does the “minimum wage” have to do with
preaching the gospel? Where is that in the “great commission?” If it is there,
I sure don’t find it at all. Moreover, I cannot find it anywhere in the New
Testament either. Would you mind citing chapter and verse for me?

But that is not all you are involved
in is it? Somehow, you find it necessary to ally yourself with socialist and
communist causes under the guise of “progressivism.”2
You know, as one who has to work of a living, and has been underpaid at times,
I really do not appreciate what you are doing. Why? Because it is simply not
your job.

As a supposed minister in the
Methodist denomination, do you really think you are helping the cause of the
gospel of Jesus Christ by your actions? Or, is that simply a cover for your
political and social leanings, which are actually communist?

I have to ask, as I am compelled to
preach the gospel and show forth Christ in every aspect of my life. What about
you Stephen? Or, has Methodism drifted so far away from service to God that
they tolerate, and even encourage one of their ordained ministers to engage in
political and social activism?

Just what god do you serve Stephen?

You are of course aware that you
will be held particularly accountable for wrapping yourself with the name of
Christ, and using it as a front for wicked, humanistic purposes don’t you? Are
you also aware that you are to be obedient to the laws of the land, beginning
with the Federal Constitution? Moreover, this includes immigration law as well?
After all, it is written:

Submit yourselves to every ordinance
of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; Or unto
governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers,
and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well
doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: As free, and not
using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. (I
Peter 2:13-15)

You know, I don’t see the Apostle
Peter or the Apostle Paul overthrowing the Roman system, or even advocating for
changes in its laws anywhere in the New Testament. Moreover, it is utterly
plain that the Lord Jesus Christ, who you claim to serve, did not do so either.

You know what Stephen, it appears to
me that you actually need the gospel just as much as Vladimir Putin.
Funny how that all your studies in seminary never seemed to get that point
across to you. Perhaps it is because you didn’t actually enter seminary to
learn to be a preacher anyway, but found it a easy way to ride the gravy train.
After all, what really is expected of a “professional minister” anyway?

A couple of last things Stephen; if
you don’t recognize the passages, I won’t be surprised.

Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew
28:19-20)

For Christ sent me not to baptize,
but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ
should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that
perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (I
Corinthians 1:17-18)

Oh, and as for your “title” of
Reverend, I know that you will eat that one day:

He hath shewed his people the power
of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. The works of
his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand
fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He sent
redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy
and reverend is his name. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:
a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise
endureth for ever. (Psalm 111:6-10)

Finally, you remind me very much of
Jeremiah Wright, since you two seem to have the same agenda. You and he both
remind me of what the Scripture has to say about those who pretend to serve
God, all the while serving themselves:

But there were false prophets also
among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily
shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and
bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious
ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through
covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose
judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (II
Peter 2:1-3)

It seems to me you serve another god
Stephen. You would do well to comprehend that its awful hot in Hell and that
eternity is a awful long time to be there
