IRISH PASTOR JIM McCONNELL FACES SIX MONTHS IN PRISON FOR CALLING ISLAM SATANIC!!!

Evangelical Pastor In Ireland Says That Islam Is Satanic, And Now The Irish Government Is Officially Prosecuting Him To Get Him In Prison For Six Months

By Theodore Shoebat

The Irish government is now in the business of trying to get an elderly Evangelical pastor, who is in ill health, in prison for simply saying that Islam is a satanic religion. His name is Pastor James McConnell. Shoebat.com commended the pastor and also posted his sermon last year:

Now the Irish government is going to be prosecuting the pastor, and will try to get him into prison. If they succeed, he may get up to six months in jail. The pastor stated:

I am facing up to six months in jail and a hefty fine for saying what I believe. I have had four heart bypasses, a liver operation and I have cancer and diabetes.

…All I need to get by in prison is my tablets, my reading glasses and books from the library.

…If I am sent to jail, I will use my time there reading and writing. My wife is 79 years old and in ill health too. But she has always been my rock and we will get through this together.

In an interview the pastor said:

I am 78 years old and in ill health, but jail knows no fear for me. They can lock me up with sex offenders, hoodlums, and paramilitaries and I will do my time … I have no regrets about what I said

The spokesman for Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution, which is going to be pressing charges against the pastor, described the supposed “offense” of the pastor as such:

That offence was one of sending, or causing to be sent, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message or other matter that was grossly offensive

The police first offered the pastor an “informed warning,” which in the United Kingdom is kept in one’s criminal record for 12 months, but it is not a conviction. The pastor refused the offer. Now they are coming after him with prosecution, and if they win, the pastor could end up in a jail cell for up to 6 months.

This story proves what I have been saying in regards to religious equality and freedom: there is no such thing as religious equality and freedom. Every nation is dominated by a certain creed, and that creed is held to a superior position over every other creed. Either a nation chooses Christianity to be this creed, or another creed — one of a diabolical nature — will take its place, and it will bring upon the society the horrors of hell.

Look at the homosexuals; because we have tolerated them, because we have accepted their agenda over the exclusivity of the Holy Faith, we have now allowed them to advance in the society, making laws that persecute Christians, that force Christian businesses to close down if they do not accept their deranged religion.

They no longer respect Christianity in Ireland, or in Northern Ireland. Secularism is now the state religion — as opposed to Christianity — and it enforces itself upon the society so as to make Christianity but an insignificant thing. The business of secularism is to make everyone respect every creed but Christianity, and they have greatly succeeded to a large extent.

Christianity, by its very nature can never be conformist. In its very foundation lies the words: “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” (Mark 12:17) They are certain things that belong only to God, and no state can ever take them away. It is the desire of secularism to take that which belongs to God, that is, it is bent on stealing the souls of the society, not for any generally known or specific religion, but rather for the religion of indifferentism. This is why Christianity and secularism never compromise, and never will compromise. Once they are put together, there is no peace between the two, immediately they are divided, immediately they are separated by that sword that Christ brought to earth. “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” (Matthew 10:34)

No matter how hard the enemy tries, they will never get rid of Christianity. If there is on thing I am certain of, it is this: never ever will the haters of God succeed in removing Christianity. It will never happen. You can’t do it, no matter determined you are. The Christian Faith has passed the test of time, it has passed the test of blood, of sweat, of tears, of courage, of valiancy, of battle and war, it has passed the test of Faith. The Jews tried to destroy the Christian Faith when they declared, “Crucify Him!” and pushed Pilate to kill our Lord. In the holy tomb death was conquered, and the most profound declaration was made to all the earth and to all the cosmos: the Church will never be destroyed, for death has been vanquished. And once the blade of death has been bent and made dull, how then can you stop the armies of saints who scoff at death? How then can you stop those saints who are joyful in glory, who sing aloud upon their beds, who have the praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people (Psalm 149:5-7)?

So many people have tried to destroy Christianity, and all have failed. It is inherent within the Christian spirit never to conform to the commands of tyranny. It is in its very foundation, it is in its very roots, never to acquiesce to the demands of any government or any mob that contradict the Divine Law of God, for we are to “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).

In the very beginning of the Church’s history, people were trying to destroy the Faith. The Jews commanded the Disciples to never speak of the name of Christ, and did they conform? Did they give in? No. Rather, St. Peter — inspired by the Holy Spirit — provided for us at that moment the precept by which Christianity rejects all conformity with the world: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:29) And this is the creed of our rebellion against the world compelling us to conform to its enforced indifferentism; here lies the words by which we kick down the altar of carnal adorations and the idol of collective trendism.

Christianity, unto its very nature, is a rebellious religion. Origen once described Satan as the tyrant over the earth, and we as Christians are the rebels, launching a coup against his despotism. Those who hate Christianity always portray themselves as the “rebels,” but in reality they are the conformists, they are conformists to those who rebelled against Heaven, while the Christians rebel against the tyranny of Satan on earth, and remain loyal to the beautiful liberty of Heaven. There is a great story that illustrates the nonconformist spirit of Christianity.

In the fourth century, when the pagan emperors Maxentius, Diocletian and Galerius were trying to annihilate all Christians in the empire, a Christ woman was flogged, and placed on a rack where both sides of her torso were furrowed by blades. Another woman, gazing upon such a sight of cruelty, could no longer bear it. “And how long, then, will you cruelly torture my sister?” She was ordered to be brought before an altar to give libations to the gods, but she in complete defiance to tyranny–and complete obedience to God–kicked the altar down as Gideon brought low the altar of Baal. After enduring the greatest of tortures, she was sentenced to the flames. (The Book of Martyrs, ch. viii)

In ancient Israel, the saints took down the idols of the pagan: Gideon brought low the crescent idols, David burned the idols of the Philistines, Moses shattered the golden calf; and in the Church, the saints still continue this cosmic war, for wherever the Church is, there is division, there is battle, there is purging, and there is illumination in which the eternal rays of the Faith wipe away the filth of Satan’s deceptions.

Read the beautiful words of Scripture and let the love of God engulf you; let your spirit be illumined by the profound prose of truly what love is; let your intellect be elated by the holy battle that we are to leap into, a war against the darkness, against evil, against the enemies of love.

Read the words of the holy David when he wrote:

The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. (Psalms 68:17)

Read the words of the holy St. Paul when he exclaimed with sublime prose:

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.(Hebrews 11:22-24)

When we are upon the holy mountain, we stand still amongst angels, amongst warriors and ascetics, amongst the spirits of men made just, only to behold what is holy. We are stirred from within, “strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man” (Ephesians 3:16), and come to a sublime awareness, an elated state of the spirit — a pure ecstasy really — that Christ truly is Lord, and that the warrior of God kneels before Him, in humility and tears.

It is this spirit, where strength emanates from humility, that invigorates Christendom to strive through all of the persecution, to endure all of the combat that it must undergo, not for the sake of the fleshy self, but to fulfill those words of Christ,

I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18)

So many slaves of hell have attempted to prevail against the Church, and they all have failed to assail the dauntless spirit of the Christian. The Jews tried in the first century, and they failed; the Pagans were bent on utterly annihilating the Christians, and the warrior Constantine — inspired by God — defeated them and rescued the Church; the Communists massacred tens of millions of Christians, and they still did not succeed; the French Deists in the 18th century slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Christians, and still the Cathedral of Notre Dame remains strong; the atheists of Spain made an ocean of Christian blood during the Spanish Civil War, and the churches of even liberal Madrid are stilled packed with congregants, young and old. During the Spanish Civil War, atheist terrorists who were haters of God, slaughtered around 10,000 Christians in the small village of Paracuellos.

I had the opportunity of visiting this very village, and I noticed a giant Cross placed on a hill. It was placed there to honor all of the martyrs who were killed for the cause of the Faith. I realized at that moment that I was standing on holy ground, earth consecrated by the blood of sacred martyrs. And then, a thought came to my mind: the ones who wanted to destroy the Cross, their time is transient; but the Holy Cross still stands. It is truly an image of the Church; for it stands, it is struck with all of the arrows of hell, and it prevails, only to be beheld by our eyes. I had to take a picture of this beautiful image:

Even after all of these massacres, all of millions of saints dead, all of the oceans of martyrs’ blood, the Church still stands.

SEPTEMBER GETS EVER CLOSER!! WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SHEMITAH, BLOOD RED MOONS, AND THE MESSIAH MEET???

When Shemitah, Blood Moons and the Messiah Meet

By Rivkah Lambert Adler

“Six years you may sow your land and gather in its produce. But in the seventh [year] you shall release it and abandon it; the poor of your people shall eat [it], and what they leave over, the beasts of the field shall eat. So shall you do to your vineyard [and] to your olive tree[s].” (Exodus 23:10-11)

This year, the world is witness to several blood moons. (Photo: Wikipedia)

Jewish, Christian and secular writers are all focusing their attention on this coming September. Those whose eyes and ears are open understand that the time is pregnant with possibilities for a dramatic End of Days scenario. The end of the current Shemitah cycle, the final blood moon of the current series and worldwide economic instability are all set to converge in the coming months.

A Pattern of Economic Disruption

September 13, 2015 is the last day of the current seven-year agricultural cycle in Israel known as Shemitah. As Rabbi Lazer Brody points out in a recent article, the US economy has suffered from a collapse or crash at the end of at least the past seven Shemitah cycles.

For example, at the end of the previous Shemitah cycle in 2008, the subprime mortgage crisis in the US caused major financial markets to lose nearly a third of their value. At the close of the Shemitah cycle before that, the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 completely shut down Wall Street for a week. When the New York Stock Exchange reopened on September 17, 2001, the market fell 684 points in one day. At the end of the first week of trading following September 11, approximately $1.4 trillion in value was lost.

“The fact that the American economy has nose-dived at the termination of the Shemitta year is more than an established pattern,” Brody asserts. Will we see it again this coming September?

The last day of the current Shemitah year falls on a Sunday, when the US stock market is closed. Nevertheless, based on previous Shemitah cycles, a stock market crash could happen in the weeks just before or after September 13.

More doomsday financial predictions are being seen in Greece, where the country has until June 30 to decide whether or not to exit the European Central Bank. If Greece pulls out, the whole country would uncouple itself economically from the rest of Europe, stop using euro currency and return to using the drachma. Whatever happens on June 30, the economic crisis in Greece, many believe, will likely lead to some sort of ripple effect throughout Europe.

Dramatic Historical Events in Israel Connected to Blood Moons

Making the case that the end of the current Shemitah cycle in September 2015 is likely to have adverse effects on the world economy, especially in the US, leads to an important question: How does this connect to the blood moons?

The final blood moon of the current lunar tetrad (when four blood moons in a row occur six months apart) is set for September 28, 2015, very soon after the end of the Shemitah year on September 13. This date corresponds with the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles. Unlike the previous three, the fourth blood moon is expected to be visible in Jerusalem.

Recent lunar tetrads have coincided with events of tremendous historical significance for Israel. Four blood moons followed the reestablishment of the State of Israel in 1948. In 1967, there was one blood moon before the Six Day War when the divided city of Jerusalem was reunited and three following.

Said another way, during the blood moon tetrad of 1948, the Land of Israel was restored to the Jewish people. During the blood moon tetrad of 1967, the reunited city of Jerusalem was restored to the Jewish people. During the blood moon tetrad of 2015, will Israel will regain dominion over the Temple Mount and be able to restore God’s presence there after 2,000 years?

One indication that that Temple Mount might soon revert to Jewish hands is found in the story Breaking Israel News reported on June 15, 2015. Billions of dollars worth of gold exists in the mountains near Eilat. Its excavators, Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yehudah Glick and his partner Yehoshua Friedman, plan to mine the gold and use it towards the rebuilding of the Third Holy Temple.

Preacher charged on Islam comments!!

Pastor James McConnell

An evangelical preacher who described Islam as “satanic” and “heathen” is to be prosecuted.

Pastor James McConnell triggered controversy when he said he did not trust Muslims during a firebrand sermon at his north Belfast church last year.

In a statement, Northern Ireland’s Public Prosecution Service (PPS) said the firebrand preacher had refused to accept a lesser punishment which meant the case would not have gone to court.

A spokeswoman said: “I can confirm that following consideration of a complaint in relation to an internet broadcast of a sermon in May 2014, a decision was taken to offer an individual an informed warning for an offence contrary to the Communications Act 2003.

“That offence was one of sending, or causing to be sent, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message or other matter that was grossly offensive. The offer of an informed warning was refused by the defendant and accordingly the matter is now proceeding by way of a summary prosecution in the Magistrates Court.”

Pastor McConnell initially defended his remarks made during a sermon at his Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle last May but, following a huge public outcry he apologised for any offence or distress caused.

The police were called in to investigate the 78-year-old fundamentalist cleric for a potential hate crime.

In the wake of the controversy, Stormont’s First Minister Peter Robinson also had to issue a public apology for comments he made in defence of the pastor.

Mr Robinson was heavily criticised after he said he would not trust Muslims for spiritual guidance but would trust them to “go down to the shops” for him.

Days after, Mr Robinson said sorry outside Belfast’s Islamic Centre where he met they city’s Muslim leaders.

WE ARE COMING UNDER MORE AND MORE ATTACKS BROTHERS AND SISTERS! CAMERON LAST WEEK VOWED TO STAMP OUT "BIBLE PROPHCEY TEACHING" UNDER HIS ANTI-SEMITE AND VERY MUCH SECULAR GOVERNMENT!! NOW BIBLE TEACHING COULD SOON BECOME A CRIME WITH "ANTI EXTREMISM BANNING ORDERS"!!! MARANATHA, PLEASE LORD!

Bible Teaching Could Soon Become A Crime With 'Anti-Extremism Banning Orders'!!

By JOHN BINGHAM

Traditional Christian teaching could effectively be "criminalized" in some settings in Britain under David Cameron's plans for new anti-extremist banning orders, a top Anglican theologian and former Parliamentary draftsman has warned.

The Rev. Dr. Mike Ovey, a former lawyer and now principal of Oak Hill Theological College in London, a training school for Church of England clergy, said proposals for new "Extremism Disruption Orders" could be a "disaster area" for people from all the mainstream religions and none.

Mr. Cameron and Theresa May have signalled that the new orders, planned as part of the Government's Counter-Extremism Bill, would not curb the activities of radical Islamist clerics but the promotion of other views deemed to go against "British values" even if it is nonviolent and legal.

Ministers have defined British values in the past as including broad notions like democracy, tolerance and the rule of law.

In a speech last month Mr. Cameron said that for too long Britain had been a "passively tolerant society" in which people were told "as long as you obey the law, we will leave you alone."

Dr. Ovey warned that unless the criteria are tightly defined, the orders could be used against almost anyone and would have a "chilling effect" on preachers and even call into question the curriculum of colleges such as his.

Even basic Christian tenets, such as the belief that Jesus is the Son of God, could be deemed to be offensive to other religions and branded un-British, he said.

It would also be easy to argue that there was a "clear trajectory" between, for example, teaching mainstream Christian ideas about subjects such as abortion and the actions of violent end-abortion groups, he added.

"It Doesn't Work"

Dr. Ovey, who worked as a parliamentary draftsman in the 1980s when anti-terror legislation to deal with the IRA threat was being framed, said: "They are going to say this is far-fetched and will never happen.

"That is essentially a government saying, 'Trust us with your civil liberties.'

"I would say frankly human experience tells us the last thing you ever want to do is trust a government with your civil liberties."

"The government is going around saying it is all a time of national emergency.

"I think I want to say we have been there before and got the T-shirt. It doesn't work."

It follows a series of recent cases of Christian street preachers being arrested by overzealous police after complaints by people who claimed their traditionalist message was homophobic or condemnatory.

His comments came as alliance free-speech campaigners, including faith groups and atheists, prepare to launch a new campaign against the plan.

Last week Lord Blencathra, the Conservative peer, told the Lords that the orders could open the door to "idiot police forces arresting a couple of ladies from the WI and a traditionalist Church of England vicar who has said something radical—for example, that he actually believes in God."

"But where do the problems really lie?" he said.

"Do we have Buddhist suicide bombers? Are there Free Presbyterians beheading Roman Catholics in Benbecula? Are there jihadi Jehovah's Witnesses? Of course not, so who then deserves to be caught in this wide net of extremists?"

"A Disaster Area"

Dr. Ovey added: "We don't know what British values are other than whatever Theresa May decides on the particular Monday when she wakes up and has to make one of these orders.

"Having an inclusive definition is hopeless from a legal point of view."

He went on: "Is a police officer going to listen to me saying that Jesus is the only way in a Muslim part of the East End?

"There is always the argument that it will be OK on the night, yes you might be arrested but you will be released—but there is always the thought that you won't be.

"The thing with a law like this is that there are going to be some people saying, 'I'm not going to run the risk,' and someone like me who is going to run the risk is going to look more extreme.

"As a lawyer I think it is a disaster area and as a Christian believer and teacher I think it is a disaster area.

"There has got be a better way to do it."
