Explosive New Area Of Law

   The new area of law is what we call "The Tort Suit." When the
American Bar Association met in the sodomite capital of the world, San
Francisco (1989), the brochure that advertised the meeting said,
"Attorneys who want to be in on the leading edge of an explosive new
area of law." What happened was, the new area of law was expanding use
of Tort Law against religions. The first speaker on this topic was a
trial lawyer who addressed Tort Law as an ideological weapon. He was
followed by another trial lawyer who spoke on "Tort Law as essential
restraint on religious abuses."

   What is a "tort"? A tort is defined as "a private or civil wrong or
injury independent of contract. Suits involving personal injury,
wrongful death, or defamation are tort suits. A tort claim usually has
three elements. First there is a legal duty to others, second there is
a breach of that duty, and finally there are damages of approximate
results of the breach of that duty. "The threat of the tort suit (I am
quoting the letter from Plymouth Rock, Marlboro, New Hampshire, Nov.
1989, written by J. Shelby Sharpe) is found in the first element
dealing with duty. Duties are created by either legislative enactments
or courts' decisions. Thus, as a society becomes more ungodly and
antagonistic towards Christianity, the courts will create new duties,
and become more receptive to litigation brought against Christians and
Christian organizations. Tort liability for brainwashing, coercive
persuasion, or mind control is unquestionably the most dangerous and
sinister threat to God's people because it goes to the heart of
orthodox Christianity."

   Now what this means is this. It means that every Bible believing
preacher in America must quit preaching the Bible, because there are
things in the Bible that coerced unregenerate people, and upset their
minds, and caused them "emotional distress." In the Bible this is
called the convicting work of the Holy Spirit. But in the "tort suit,"
it is recognized as an invasion of civil rights or privacy. The key
word here is "emotional distress," like when Peter cries out "depart
from me Lord, I am a sinful man," or like Job who says, "but now mine
eye seeth thee, wherefore I repent in sackcloth and ashes," or Isaiah
who said, "I am an unclean man, and dwell in the midst of an unclean
people," or Paul who cries out, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
This is "emotional distress," and the new area of law says, that this
is caused by people brainwashing people with religious teachings. For
example, a lawyer can sue a Sunday school teacher if the Sunday school
teacher quoted the parts of Matthew 5 and 23, Daniei 12, and Revelation
21 that deal with the Lake of Fire for liars. The greatest risk in the
future will be in what we call "counseling," because the purpose of
tort law is to get rid of the Bible as a text book for counseling, and
force all preachers to counsel people according to the textbooks used
in the psychology classes at the universities. No counseling will be
allowed that causes "emotional distress." This is the latest thing in
America's preparation for the Antichrist, and it is the natural
consequence of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
