Billboards Showing Pastor Holding Bible Removed After Complaints
Fox News ^ | August 9, 2018 | Fox and Friends

Posted on 08/09/2018 1:53:53 PM PDT by OddLane

Billboards showing evangelist Pastor Greg Laurie holding a Bible were removed from popular Southern California malls after numerous complaints.

Laurie, who leads the multi-campus Harvest Christian Fellowship, contracted a real estate company to post the billboards to promote an upcoming SoCal Harvest event at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.

The billboards were displayed at several locations, including Fashion Island in Orange County and the Irvine Spectrum Center in Irvine.

After receiving complaints -- including a "serious threat" -- the company asked that the billboards be revised to remove the image of the Bible.

“...Christianity is now held to be profane, and homosexuality to be sacred....”
Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure mental disease the rots out the human brain to the point where reality and fantasy cannot be distinguished. Hot is cold, male is female, up is down, evil is good, etc. etc.
BTW, they’re totally and violently INSANE. There is no co-existing with these POSs.

I read a bit of some book (by a Christian guy) that made some interesting points that EVERYONE will be in Heaven. BUT - those that aren’t saved will have the shining light of God piercing their every sin constantly, and they will be as if in a fiery hell.

And everyone will hate you because you are my followers. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Mark 13:13 (NLT)

I’ve read a “book” that says those that confess and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior will have their names written on the Lamb’s Book of Life and will forever be with Him in Heaven. Those that don’t will be cast into the Lake of Fire (hell) where the fire burns, but does not consume...forever.

Literal. “Haram” means “forbidden” in Arabic, and “Boko” comes from the English “book.” It’s often given as “Western education is forbidden,” which is conceptually accurate, but “Boko” really means “book.”

What was until recently called the Harvest Crusade is now simply the Harvest. Seems Pastor Laurie caved in to political correctness.

” it did not have a cross, religious symbols or even the word “Bible” on it. “

So what if it had?

Well - that’s why I quit reading it as it seemed pretty goofy. One of his arguments was that God is omnipresent -

“‘Am I only a God nearby,’ declares the Lord, ‘and not a God far away? Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him’ declares the Lord. ‘Do not I fill heaven and earth?’ declares the Lord” (Jeremiah 23:23–24).

Just thinking about it now, while at this time I believe that Satan does have rule now in this world, once the final judgement comes - I don’t think that he will - even in Hell. I think ALL will be under the rule of God.

Regardless, whether one is burning up in a pit of fire for eternity, or one is having the light of God shining on all of your sins and the agony of that for eternity - sounds very similar, and very bad.

The anti anti Christ, his worship and the one world government is coming just as The Bible says. This is plain to see for all those who have eyes to see, more proof that The Bible is the inspired Word of God.

Just look what they did to Jeremiah.

People don't like the truth.
