A criminal prosecution against a street preacher arrested for an alleged ‘hate crime’ has been dropped in which the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) argued that parts of the Bible are ‘abusive’ and ‘no longer appropriate in modern society.’
John Dunn, 55, a cancer survivor from Swindon who has served in the British Army’s Special Forces, was interviewed under caution and subsequently summonsed by the police for alleged ‘homophobia’ after preaching on Swindon High Street in November 2020.
Mr Dunn, who regularly preaches despite having lost his voice box following throat cancer, is a Bible-believing Christian who preaches in Swindon town centre. He considers preaching on the streets and speaking God’s truth to be an essential part of his Christian calling, which he has been doing for 15 years.
As part of his message he often refers to Genesis 1, being made in God’s image, male and female and marriage between one man and one woman being God’s purpose and pattern for the good of society.
On 1st November 2020, Mr Dunn was preaching when two women walked past holding hands. Mr Dunn said: “I hope you are sisters”. They replied that they were in a same-sex marriage.
In line with biblical beliefs on human sexuality, Mr Dunn said out of genuine concern for the women that: “It says in the Bible that homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God”, which is a verse from 1 Corinthians 6.
Mr Dunn insists his intention and motivation was to declare God’s truth out of love and compassion for the people passing by and listening.
However, the two women took ‘offence’ and reported Mr Dunn to the police, describing his comments as ‘biblical speak.’ They also alleged that Mr Dunn had shouted at them, despite his voice box, that “they will burn in......

And when will Crown Prosecution start going after the koran and muslims?
Blessed are those persecuted for His name’s sake.

Same spiritual kingdom as the poofters. Minions may fuss among themselves but Satan is not against Satan.
If the Antichrist is over a muslim caliphate expect the already in place Islamic doctrine of abrogation to be used to proclaim a homosexual friendly version of Islam, which will let the apostate West waltz into the mosques and take whatever mark is asked of them ... both they and their cherished perverts.
Very very soon! /s
Amen!
The Crown is no longer appropriate for modern society.

“And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?”
Well, at one time that’s what Britons thought.
God is the only reason Britain became an Empire, and they are now just a hollowed out socialist shell.
Persecuting the very thing that made them great.
America is not taking heed about this either.
Coming to America....sooner than you’d think.

Laws are specific.
I’ll need to see a government approved ‘bible’ with the not-to -be followed portions highlighted. Until that point their policy is just squishy double-speak. AKA selective enforcement.
the law requires that a defendant “uses threatening or abusive words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour” and this must be “within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby”. ... the case against him was thrown out after the two women reportedly ‘refused to engage with the case’ after making the initial allegations. According to the CPS a police officer went to their home to encourage them to come to court, but no one answered or responded
Meaning that had the man of God warned that they, as with all who reject Christ, will see Hell, and the lesbians pursued the case, he might have been found guilty, as they judge their ultimate Judge.
Laws are specific.
Hardly the case with "Woke" laws. Ambiguous terms such as "promoting hatred, discrimination,... otherwise objectionable, or violative of any laws," are often employed as they more easily enable subjective definitions.
