The 1st amendment from freedom of speech to assembly to petitioning government, along with the free exercise there of are all at risk in today’s America.  Religious 🙏liberty 🗽 is a virtual anathema to bi coastal secular progressive elites.  The other side is divided over denial God exists and hating Him because they know He is real and don’t like it.  They are unified in their desire to persecute and mock true believers and to take away our free exercise rights.  Home and private schooling has long been a target of the left.  That makes this yet another timely topic to be explored.

God's Not Dead Actor Antonio Sabato Jr. Encourages Christians to Trust in Christ amid Threats to Religious Freedom



Actor and former model Antonio Sabato Jr., who will be starring in the fourth installment of the God's Not Dead films, is encouraging Christians to trust in Jesus Christ amid recent threats to religious liberty.

The movie, titled "God's Not Dead: We the People, " will tackle the topics of "freedom of speech and religious liberties as the fundamental right to educate children," as seen in national headlines in recent years.

David A.R. White, who starred in the first three God's Not Dead films, will be reprising his role as the Rev. Dave hill.

"It's such a beautiful franchise with friends of mine," Sabato told The Christian Post in a recent interview. "David White and the whole production company, I was so honored to be part of this and to be able to be asked to play this role that is really close to their heart. It's just a beautiful story with a really great message and shot beautifully."

According to the film's synopsis, Reverend Dave will be defending a group of Christian homeschooling families as he is called to Washington D.C. "to testify in a landmark congressional hearing that will determine the future of religious freedom in our country for years to come."

Sabato, who first rose to fame in the 90s as a Calvin Klein underwear model and for starring in the soap opera General Hospital , believes that the film reflects the current attacks on freedom of speech and religious liberty.

"Our freedom is being attacked at the moment, in different ways. So we have to stand up. I believe that God is putting a test on us," the actor explained. "We have to keep fighting, and we have to keep in faith and know that God will succeed no matter what. But we, as people, have to really come out of our shells and really devote ourselves to the Lord."

While Christians will be confronted with evil, Sabato asserted that "at the end of the day, we always succeed." He encouraged Christians to be aware and to be committed because it's during hard times that "faith is really the bottom line."

"We can't rely on the news; we can rely on people, we can't rely on humans, we have to rely on our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for everything," Sabato declared.

"This movie is coming out at the right time. God doesn't make mistakes; it's not a coincidence," he contended.

"God's Not Dead: We The People" will be released in theaters on October 4th. The film will feature Sabato, Isaiah Washington ( Grey's Anatomy ) and Grammy-winning Christian artist Francesca Battistelli among others.

I wouldnt know how religious any of those people are because you dont need to be religious, or even a Catholic, to attend a Catholic university. 

In most cases you dont have to be Catholic to attend a Catholic high school either, although I would imagine most of the kids are because it is not free like public school is.

Christians seem to feel attacked or constrained whenever they can't force everybody to adhere to their beliefs. Same with most religions, they all have a faction of people who want to put their beliefs into law.  What religious right does that mental giant Antonio Sabato Jr think is being threatened?

In 1990, he appeared in Janet Jackson 's " Love Will Never Do (Without You) " music video along with actor Djimon Hounsou , who is also a former CK underwear model represented by Albertto . In 2013, Sabàto was named the international celebrity spokesperson for AnastasiaDate , an online mail-order bride website which connects wealthy American older men with Eastern European women. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Sab%C3%A0to_Jr.#cite_note-13" > [13] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Sab%C3%A0to_Jr.#cite_note-14" > [14]

...

Sabàto was married to Tully Jensen from 1992 until 1993. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Sab%C3%A0to_Jr.#cite_note-41" > [41] He married Cheryl Moana Marie Nunes in 2012. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Sab%C3%A0to_Jr.#cite_note-wedding-42" > [42] The two separated in December 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Sab%C3%A0to_Jr.#cite_note-divorcing-43" > [43] and their divorce was finalized in June 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Sab%C3%A0to_Jr.#cite_note-settled-44" > [44] After Sabàto filed for divorce, Nunes alleged that Sabàto was abusing prescription drugs and had failed to complete even one month of a three-month-long drug rehabilitation program .

Modelling for Playgirl , which has the reputation of being more popular with gay men than with women.

Hawker of mail-order brides.

Three kids with 3 different women (two of whom to which he was not married), and multiple problems with substance abuse.

Sounds exactly like the type of person religious fundamentalists generally love to persecute (or at least judge), themselves. Until it suits them politically to do otherwise.

God has forgiven people who’ve done bad things

what about those that claim to be saved, yet still continue to do bad things? toss some cash in the basket, then a quick rinse and reset every sunday?
