Linda Barnette has issued marriage licenses in Grenada County, Missisipi for 24yrs. On Tuesday June 30th, she resigned rather than
issue gay marriage licenses, writing in her letter of resignation;
"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

She is one of Jehovah's witnesses speaking the pure language.
Maama, God bless you for your courage in upholding the "WORD OF GOD". How can a man marry a fellow man; or how can a woman marry a fellow women? Where lies the injunction that says "Go ye into the world and multiply? Does it mean that God is not JUST? God forbid!. Maama, God has a place for you in heaven. You are a blessed daughter of God.

CHURCH'S IN US SHOULD PLEASE STEP UP PLAN TO HELP HER TOO..GOOD DECISION GOD BLESS YOU
See Faith. God bless you Ma
Funny how we are praising this woman as 'righteous' 'courageous' 'godly' and everything else good when we do not know one bit about how she behaves in other aspects that are more important. Is she kind to her neighbors? Does she treat people with love and respect regardless of race, gender, social class? The only evidence of her behavior that we have seen is her rushing to judgment on same sex couples and as far as I know, judgment belongs to the lord. Nigerians, please focus on what matters and let God be the judge of righteousness. Sincerely, #fedupwithselfrighteousnigerians!
But onyx are u mad ni...abi o fe shey oriburuku ni...well ur son and ur daughters will be gay by d special grace of God
@onyx fuckin gay
Onyx are you in anyway better than the gay people??
You'v done the right thing ma. is better to obey God than to follow the evil heart of man. A pastor in the U.S said if God does not purnish The United state of America, then He will have to apolodies to sodom and Gomorah.
ONYX am sure u know y people call u gay. just saying tho, every1 is entitled to dier own opinion. God bess u madam.
onyx you are am really an agent of the devil...he has so blinded u that u can't see what's good and what's bad! gay oshi
Obama and his supreme court allies have destroyed America. The ripple effect of this ungodly ruling will leave the US in shambles.. wait and see. America has opened a crack on its wall, the serpent will now come in and bite her. It's about to begin.. stay tuned.
very strong woman
MISSVEE
God bless this lady.
Daniel of our time! "Dare to be a Daniel"
Thumbs up
Onyx kill yourself, I keep telling you as long as you will remain in Nigeria you won't have the mind to cone out of the closet. Faggot
Thank God not all American's
Are pathetic and sickening
Someone has to act right
and she just did
God will Continue to bless you Ma'm
Great! Courageous woman! In times like this, be very sure your anchor holds upon the solid rock.
Teemah salau.yes there are still a lot of sane Americans because I am one, my wife and kids are too..plus there are still a lot of Christians that believe solely in the bible and it's entirety..
Onyx..I would rather you respect her opinion and not be so calous..it is her faith/believe.the fact that you are gay, doesn't mean she has to bend her belief to favor people like you..
The judgement of the supreme court of heaven is on its way. Israel was not spared when it rebelled against its founder. If God did not spare His very own people when they rebelled but scattered them all over the earth, how shall America escape..?
Madam you made me weep. To be in friendship with this world is to be in total enmity with God
After reading all the comments here, I am so pleased that everyone is support of the step taken by this woman, except one irredeemably lost soul that calls himself onyx!!!
Gay Onyx- homosexuality is wrong. Full stop! It is contrary to God's plan. Others may go to hell. She wants to make Heaven. I want to make Heaven too!
Onyxx u sound foolish. Atleast she encouraged dm to do d right thing by helping dm get married. Instead of encouraging ds abomination
Our God will bless Madam
God bless you
@Onyx shut up u maggot
Of course gay onyx will have a problem with her.
Hello Onyx..... I have gathered enough evidence to put you in jail for 14 years...be prepared
Fucking fag...@onyx
This is practical Christianity! This is what it means to die for Christ.
#ByeFelicia
Onyx God punish you there.We know you are gay stop deceiving yourself and come out!!!!Madboy
Onyx I don't think I've ever insulted u in dis blog and I use to fight others for referring to u as gay, but this ur stupid n foolish statement just signed, sealed and stamped it that you're an ass fucker. Ma'am God has replaced a mansion for u in heaven already
I'm so happy reading this. God bless you ma.

Heavens will stand with you through this generation because of this singular courageous action of yours. One must have deep love and respect for Christ to take this decision. God has taken note and has already blessed you through your generations. His mercies will you always find and will wonder why you deserve His love and numerous blessings.
When you believe in a being as the supreme Creator, no earthly thing moves you.
God bless u ma

Oh! My goodness, am inspired by dis woman faith, God will bless u n make u a hero because wit dis decision of urs some souls ll b liberated, since u put God first instead of u job God ll surprise in a different way dont b dismayed God is watching
Bold faith I call it. Funny enough, most people in America especially elites and rich do not support gay, they're not allowed to speak anymore. They'll get sued. Even in Canada too. Guys, it's time to live out your faith. God bless you ma'am.
Amen
Nice..God can't be mocked!
Wow wow!, I read all the comments frm the beginning to the end and sheds tears cos i always believe that all the people on LIB are being fool by the so called Americans, but i was wrong out of 246 comments it's only the stupid gay boy ONYX dat been negative on dis post believe me ur days are numbered shey! u r looking for fames abi? Obama would not save u frm warrant of GOD mark ma words. Abokiworriboy whr r u? We kw who u r Bastard!
Onyx commented on some1 post, check very well
@Onyx,I just see you as a very stupid person,the bible say marriage is for a man and woman and she has done the right thing,if they now commit adultery in marriage,it is non of her business,she has obeyed God and done her part so know the real fact before you comment #mumu
There is nothing like 'is a gay' you don't need to use the 'a' whenever you are using the word 'gay'
God bless you madam. God you serve will provide a better job for you.
God bless.
A girl From Nigeria.
@Onyx-her action is not just a stand against what is wrong, it is a stand for God Almighty. You can choose to appreciate her even if you do not agree with her or scorn her...the question is what do you stand for?
#PRAYFORONYXLINDAIKEJIFIRSTSONGODWIN# Apparently Onyx is gay!
Gay OK. GayGayOK, .. THAT'S her problem, the state is secular and not religious. Give to Cesar what belongs to Cesar madam... And no thanks, discrimination will not get her to Heaven.
Your little action has eternal and posterity implications. May the Lord keep you to the end in Jesus name, amen.

May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless you real good dearest soldier of Christ!!!!
The Bible says: Male and Female created HE them!!!
Therefore shall a MAN leave his father and mother and cleave to his WIFE and they twain shall become one flesh...
Homosexuality is the height of spiritual and moral rebellion!!!!
And gay marriage is rubbing it in the face of God!!!
Praise God For Her,May God give everyone understanding to know that those who support gay marriage is as guilty as those involved. Read Romans 1:32 for more insight and from 24 to 32.
Onyx u r such a fool. May God deliver ur gay ass.
It starts with the lil things.she's standing for Christ on this one!
Each time you denounce homosexuality as gross, homosexuals and their sympathizers would haul back their clichesque refrain at you, saying things like: 'sin is sin, you fornicator why judge the homosexuals?'
But I ask, 'what is fornication?'
I mean, give a biblical definition of the word..
Please, define the word "Fornication" by strict reference to biblical authority...
It is interesting to note that the word cannot be found in the Old Testament (OT); thus it is found in the Bible as a New Testament (NT) word...
It must also be admitted that the NT did not create any sin; rather it is the OT, pursuant to the MOSAIC CODE, that created sin...
The point is where there is no Law, there is no sin...a point which St. Paul the Apostle echoed thus and I paraphrase, "I did not know sin but because the Law of Moses declared certain acts to be transgressive;" and "I did not know lust but because the Law of Moses said, 'Thou shalt not covet..."
In other words, if an act is not a sin in the OT, it cannot suddenly become sin in the NT...
Thus, since fornication is a sin, it stands to reason that the OT must have defined it as such, as a transgression...
I stress yet that the word "fornication" cannot be found in the OT, yet it is definitively a sin....
Now, how come about this conundrum?
Simple: whereas the OT was originally written in Hebrew/Aramaic; the NT was originally written in Greek...
The original Bible Greek word for "Fornication" is "Porneia," from which the word "pornography" emerged..
"Porneia" is the Greek word for "Prostitute" or Prostitution, which in old English is "Whore" or "Whoredom"
Now, the ever first translation of the Bible into any other language was done in Latin...
That very first Latin translation of the Bible (written originally in Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek) is called The Septuagint...
Note, moreover, that the original English translation of the Bible derived not directly from the original Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek, but directly and immediately from the first Latin text, The Septuagint...
In other words, the first English Bible was translated directly from the Septuagint (Latin)...
Thus, the translation of the Bible evolved sequentially from the Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek texts to Latin to English...
Accordingly, the Septuagint translation of the original Greek word, "Porneia" was "Fornix."
In other words, the Greek "Porneia" was translated as "Fornix" in the Septuagint (Latin), which was then translated as "Fornication" in the English Bible....
Now, what does the Latin word "Fornix" mean?
The Latin word "Fornix" means the English word "Brothel," and brothel is associated with prostitute/prostitution....
I'm thus aghast that rather than the English translators of the Latin Bible (The Septuagint) going the extra-mile to find a suitable word for "Fornix," or a word that aptly conveys the real meaning of "Porneia" or "Fornix," they invented the nebulous word "Fornication," leaving it opening to speculation as to its real meaning....
Hence, rather than the word Fornication retaining or conveying the original denotation of prostitute/prostitution/whore/whoredom; many now wrongly define it as pre-marital sex...
The word thus lost its original meaning owing to the inadequacy of the English translation....
It is interesting that the OT did indeed graphically describe pre-marital sex, as in Exodus 22: 16-17, yet it never headlined a denunciation of it as whoredom or prostitution or fornication deserving of death penalty…
Rather it prescribed that the unmarried man and woman involved in the sexual act should marry if the parent of the girl so accepts...
Put pointedly, the act of pre-marital sex does not attract the death penalty against the actors, but the option of marriage...
The point to be made is that the word "Sin" could be defined in terms of penalty, which the Bible prescribes as death for a sinful act...
According to the Bible, any act attracting the death penalty is a sin...
As it is written, "The wages of sin is death"...
This is why the sexual sins of Incest, Adultery, Bestiality, Homosexuality, and Prostitution attract the death penalty pursuant to the Bible book of Leviticus chapters 18, 19, 20, etc...
To reiterate and stress the point, nowhere in the Bible is Fornication defined as pre-marital sex..
Fornication is a sexual sin that consists in prostitution…
And not only the prostitute or whore, but also her patrons are described as fornicators according to St. Paul the Apostle in 1st Corinthians 6: 15-20...
I rest my case...
God bless you mam you are a true Christian example. I refuse to follow the world.....
Here is a viryuous woman indeed! The Lord God will never leave or forsake you for you have honoured His name. He will take care of you and your family. Bravo Madam! You are the Esther of our time. Alleluyah!
This Onyx dude tho... Is it the same God that created us created you?
@ Onyx - U this small silly boy telling a woman old enough to be your grand mother to 'shift to one corner' because she stands for what is right. I don't blame u at all!
I used to think all westerners are crazy but many like this woman has continued to prove me wrong. As at this moment I have dropped that opinion.
Faggot be talking rubbish...better respect God bfr d wrath of God befalls upon u..Oloshi
Go and negotiate with Baba J , you have to go to heaven
Thank Gpd for this God fearing woman in USA, God will bless you real good for not following the crowd
