the homosexual attackers were upset with a sermon he preached entitled "It's Time to Draw the Line."

The four attackers apparently came looking for Endrei, but instead met volunteer Rich Bilski ... the four men assaulted the church worker, one of them reportedly hitting him in the face with the frame of a tennis racquet. As they ran away, one of the attackers shouted, “That’s for Pastor Paul.”

Endrei feels other pastors need to know that if they preach against the homosexual lifestyle in America, there will be a backlash. He says "tolerance" to the homosexual community is a one-way street.

"As long as you agree with them, they're very happy to befriend you. But when you go against their agenda, you find that there is a very strong and violent force that is behind it," he says.

But the senior pastor says the threat of violence should not stop the Church from standing up for biblical truth.

Ping. (As usual, if you would like to be added to or removed from my "conservative Catholics" ping list, just send me a FReepmail. Please realize that some of my "ping" posts are long.)

This is definitely a hate crime. The minister should not let this go at all and make sure the authorities seriously track these people down and be prosecuted.

Like Sodom and Gomorah.

Genesis 19:5

They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them." 6 Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him 7 and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing. 8 Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and you can do what you like with them. But don't do anything to these men, for they have come under the protection of my roof." 9 "Get out of our way," they replied. And they said, "This fellow came here as an alien, and now he wants to play the judge! We'll treat you worse than them." They kept bringing pressure on Lot and moved forward to break down the door.

May God forgive these sinners and put them back in touch with the Ten Commandments and the Word of God!
