Vision America recently posted a new promotional video celebrating the organization’s work mobilizing pastors for the purpose of getting their congregations more involved in politics, which featured footage of Rick Scarborough literally throwing a copy of the Supreme Court’s gay marriage decision to the ground and stepping on it while vowing never to disobey the Bible.
The video was presumably produced to be shown during the organization’s recent “Heroes of Faith” gala as it was clearly aimed at encouraging donors to continue to fund Vision America’s efforts by highlighting Scarborough’s various speaking engagements, including one where he was shown grandstanding on the gay marriage decision.
“You cannot redefine that which God has already defined,” Scarborough proclaimed of the Supreme Court decision at the start of the video. “However, they did place our nation at odd with God’s revealed moral law. I choose to obey God rather than men.”
The video then showed footage of Scarborough preaching in a church, holding up a copy of the decision in one hand and a Bible in the other while declaring that “five lawyers just said God was wrong when he defined marriage. There comes a time when men have to choose who they’re going to obey and what’s going to be the authority in their life.”
“Well, I’ve made my choice,” Scarborough said, tossing the court decision to the ground and then stepping on it. “I’m not going to obey that.”
Later in the video, the narrator warned that “five unelected lawyers … have empowered God-haters to come after true believers.”
