Last week, a pastor was arrested in London after he delivered a public sermon on the biblical definition of marriage out of Genesis 1.
John Sherwood, who is 71 and the pastor of a north London church, was arrested April 23 in the center of Uxbridge, London, under the Public Order Act for making "allegedly homophobic comments," according to The Daily Mail.
A video shows him standing on top of a step stool before being handcuffed and led away by police as a crowd watched. One person can be heard gasping in shock.
"For a man preaching about Christianity!" a woman says in the video, critical of police action.
He was later released.
"I wasn't making any homophobic comments. I was just defining marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman," he said, according to The Daily Mail. "I was only saying what the Bible says – I wasn't wanting to hurt anyone or cause offense. I was doing what my job description says, which is to preach the gospel in open air as well as in a church building.

Luke 17: 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
I’m sure that imams in London are arrested for promoting straight marriage too, right? Right? Uh huh.
Wow. Here we are, at a point where even a clergy man , is not allowed to say marriage is a man and a woman. His faith defines marriage as a man and a woman, and he is said to be homophobic for not embracing homosexual marriage.
The cherished right of free speech is now gone.
Politically incorrect speech = hate speech = a crime
As a side note, I wonder how many Muslim imams have been arrested for the same “crime”. I’ll bet the number is less than 1.
This would happen in America too were it not for the First Amendment.
The Stasi thugs are out in full force. And LGBT is their weapon against Christianity.
>> how many Muslim imams have been arrested — I’ll bet the number is less than 1.
Because the Stasi thugs are afraid of getting beheaded.
The push is on. Christianity to become illegal in public, then in private too. We here in the US are very c.ose to these same laws. The left would love nothing better than to arrest people for ‘hate crimes’ for believing and speaking about God’s word. The left here think Christians are radicals filled with hate.
The gene pool does not benefit from one father. Not too mention no father. Raising more than one child is a major effort. Marriage is an answer.
Knew a minister fired for preaching the same sermon. The board didn’t disagree with it, they felt it didn’t need to be spoken. Many churches only cover part of the bible. Some more than others but only a part still. The prosperity gospel is one type that covers just a small part. Many others do not recognize they are the same except they cover just a larger part. IMHO, it is all, or very dangerous.
Next up, Bible burning.
Any Christians rioting and burning cities over this injustice or are they all too busy turning the other cheek?
‘I Was Only Saying What the Bible Says’
Yes, you can’t do that in states that are going totalitarian.
Moose out front should have told you.
That verse is very clear....when a mass exodus of righteous people leave the scene...all Hell will fall on the Earth in the days of the coming of the Son of Man..not just the usual sporadic historic tragedies but on the whole Earth over a catastrophic 7 years.[perhaps the last 3.5 years if the rapture is mid trib...going up with the witnesses but that is my own thought... not that I am wedded to that notion...;)]
Has anyone else noticed that there are now 3 genders of emojis for people on the iPhone chat app? Men, Women, and Hermaphrodite. These woke geniuses think that they invented this obamination, but just read Leviticus or Greek classics, and they will discover (if they ever read at all now, which I doubt, what is in the Bible certainly seems to be a surprise) that Hermaphrodites have been around since the dawn of time, and God razed Sodom and Gomorrah for that very reason.
Yes, I am homophobic, and transphobic, in spades. These wicked and dangerous people promoting Hermaphrodite are perverts destroying the family and society values, and deserve to be driven out of our society and out of every land. For this we ask the intercession of Holy St. Michael Archangel.
‘I Was Only Saying What the Bible Says’
What is “truth”?
.
To see Satan so active everywhere in the world nowadays, in combination with so much of Scripture having been accomplished, too, makes His Return seem ever so imminent.
Because, Satan is so very, very busy now and some of history’s worst nightmares are next in the queue with “Repeat” set and enabled.
Whether we’re heading for a time of Correction or His Return, we’re going to be “Blessed” either way.
So, have thy loins girded and thy teeth prepared for some serious gnashing, ‘cause It’s coming ... ready or not.
