Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an anti-terrorism law, but for the country's many churches, the signature sparked a demand for prayer and fasting.
The bill toughens punishment for acts deemed to be terrorism and for the organization of "mass unrest," according to the Los Angeles Times. It would also introduce prison sentences of up to a year for those who fail to report such crimes.
Furthermore, Great Commission Ministries Chairman Hanny Haukka tells Charisma News the law entails:
Foreign guests are not permitted to speak in churches unless they have a "work permit" from Russian authorities If a friend or relative from outside Russia wishes to share his/her faith in your home the guest will be fined and expelled from Russia. Any discussion of God with non-believers is considered missionary activity and will be punishable.
I wasn’t Christian once but I knew the country NEEDED to be to survive.
Are you calling me a liar?
And stop with your Putin hard on.
We’ve got much more important ####ing fish to fry.
Wake the #### up.
Name calling shows your mentality. Now, you are equating yourself to Putin? Have you violated US air space and locked on to civilian targets?
Putin is ruthless and his motives are purely for his own benefit. He is a danger to the US. Wise up.
Holland, in those days was known to be a tolerant place. The Pilgrims stayed there for a few years before they sailed on the Mayflower to what became Plymouth, MA. The only reason they did not stay there was that they felt that their English ways were under cultural threat. So they decided to settle in a hostile land.
Thanks for the information on joining the Huguenot Society; maybe after the election. I’m signed up to volunteer on the campaign in Mt. Pleasant, MI. I hope to be knocking on doors in my town of Shepherd and manning the campaign office in the city. I know it’s serious business, but also fun!
Feel free to send mail on this forum.
Merely an assumption on your part.
That says it all, really.
Yes, it does say a lot, but not what you apparently think it does.
