‘I choose to Obey God than Man’ – Woman Resigns Rather Than Issue Gay Marriage Licence in The US
Daniel O .
Linda Barnette who has issued marriage licenses in Grenada Country, Missisipi for 24 years, on Tuesday June 30 resigned stating she’d rather ‘Obey God than man’ [resign than issue gay marriage licenses.]
“I choose to obey God rather than man. I am a follower of Christ and I believe strongly that the Bible is my final authority. The Bible teaches that a marriage is to be between a man and a woman. Therefore, because of the recent ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court, I can no longer fulfill my duties as Circuit Clerk and issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.”
“I told my supervisors a while back if it happened, I would tender my resignation. I had already decided in my heart that I could not issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. It’s my Christian belief. As a follower of Christ, I could not do it.
The Bible teaches it is contrary to His plan.” she told a Fox News reporter
