A pastor is facing a court trial this week on a government charge that his message, delivered through a public electronic communications because it was online, was grossly offensive to the point of being criminal. The decision that results from the case, which is based on the pastor’s description of Islam as a “doctrine spawned in hell,†could determine whether Christian pastors will be allowed to preach biblical doctrine in the United Kingdom going forward. U.TV in the United Kingdom reports that Pastor James McConnell, 78, of Shore Road, Newtownabbey, is facing a three-day trial for charges stemming from alleged violations of the 2003 Communications Act.
There are two charges pending, the improper use of a public electronic communications network and causing a “grossly offensive message†to be distributed, the report said. His sermon, delivered from the pulpit of Whitewell Metropolitan Chapel of north Belfast, will be the subject of the Belfast Magistrates Court case. The Daily Mail reported some weeks ago that hundreds turned out in support of McConnell, when the pastor made an initial court appearances. “I believe, for the prosecution, this is a hot potato,†the Mail reported he said at the time. “They don’t know how to handle it.†He said he was “looking forward to testifying if they give me a chance. Either they try me and put me in prison or I am free to preach the gospel...â€

Liberalism can be best described as cognitive dissonance, a mental illness, because of its contradictions (e.g. against death penalty but killing babies, absolutely against absolute truth, for evolution but supporting homosexuality). In addition to being a mental illness, liberalism is paradoxical, for it loves itself (exhalts self above all), yet hates itself at the same time (promoting enemies that only wish to kill it). Why? The only answer we can apply is the Biblical one; To worship yourself is to hate yourself, because self-worship is idolatry. The person who bows to false idols separates himself from God, consigning himself to death and judgment. This spiritual suicide drives a person to hate himself, hate God, and especially hate truth, which makes liberalism a most useful ally to Islam.
Jesus Christ's death and resurrection were the most important events in the history of the universe. Even more important than God's intelligent design of the universe, God left His position as Creator/Governor of the Universe to assume the status of created being/yet God at the same time. He then paid the moral penalty that our sins and rebellion deserved because he loves us. All nations and all people will be judged by their acceptance or rejection of this truth. Yet liberalism rejects God's sacrifice for us, the same as they reject scientific creation, in favor of non-scientific evolution (i.e. the reject the Law of Conservation of Energy and Law of Thermodynamics in favor of the crazy theory of evolution). But this will not last long, for Jesus Christ is coming soon to judge the quick and the dead. How do we know? The reestablishment of Israel is our greatest sign...
Isaiah 32: 1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. [...] 3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim , and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. 4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. 5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful. 6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
UK justice has gone over to that murderous cult of MoHAMmad.
The United Kaliphate. That’s all I have to say.
The Truth shall set you free. Islam is a satanic cult. Islam is the religion of the sword and they’re damned proud about it. Mohammed was a mighty warrior. Their goal is to conquer and dominate the entire world. Their end game is the complete annihilation of all Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, pagans, atheists and all non-Muslims.
The Tribulation is approaching.
The bill for disestablishing the Church of England (which they rejected at that time) was numbered 666. Even one of the British politicians made a comment about it.
I guess they need to lock up Simon Rushdie for Satanic Verses and extradite him to Iran. When you start to police speech you really go down a slippery slope.
Islam is Satanic according to the bible. Those who deny the incarnation of God’s Messiah as the man Jesus are antichrist, i.e., Satanic.
Young’s Literal Translation:
1 John 4
4 Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;
2 in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is,
3 and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.
Then all non Christians are Satanic. Insulting Sihks and Jews united with Christians in the fight against Jihad is a bad idea.
Correct
They would probably prosecute my friend Franklin Graham for saying Islam was a evil religion.
George Galloway former labor MP advocated for Israel free UK and nothing happened to him.
Salman Rushdie. But you’re correct.
Or, according to Cosmo Kramer, Sal Bass is Salmon Rushdie.
He substituted one fish for another!
Trump was right (again).
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. They’re willing to let Jews and Christians live, so long as they pay their Jiziyah and walk humbly in the gutter when a believer passes, or at least those that survive Muzzy revenge taking for uppitiness, a capital crime for peoples of the book.
I can’t comment on Sihks. I don’t know anything about them.
But the Jewish scripture contain the truth, that there is a Messiah, and we’re dealing with misunderstanding in their case until, as Jesus said, “(they say) Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”
It’s hard to argue with if one is a biblical Christian.
Yep. John chapter 3 verses 17 and 18 are quite specific.
God has a special relationship (covenant) with His Chosen Children of Israel. But He loves all people. We were all created in His image. He hates the sin, but loves the sinners. Even Muslims can be saved.
They need to fill the jails.
Indeed they can. That’s what’s infuriating about people who call criticism of Islam by Trump or anyone else ‘racist’. White Islamists aren’t any different than any other color of Islamist. It’s a belief system.
