"Preacher Got a month in jail for preaching against homosexuality"


 

Sentenced to month in jail for offending homosexuals

 

A Swedish court has sentenced Ake Green, a pastor belonging to the Pentecostal movement, to a month in prison, under a law against incitement, after he was found guilty of having offended homosexuals in a sermon, according to Ecumenical News International.

Green had described homosexuality as "abnormal, a horrible cancerous tumor in the body of society" in a 2003 sermon.

Soren Andersson, the president of the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender rights, said on hearing Green's jail sentence that religious freedom could never be used as a reason to offend people.         Click here: White House & World News www.WorldNetDaily.comLet us all pray for Pastor Ake Green to remain strong in The Almighty, and that the prison sentence given him will be a vehicle to win more souls to the kingdom.  These days - as in days of old, Speaking the truth BOLDLY and in LOVE will cause offenses, but The Almighty's will WILL be done.  He says that" His world will not return unto Him void...It WILL accomplish that which He sent it out to accomplish,"  May we all boldly lift up our voices and KNOW that His words will accomplish His will.  In Moshiach, Veronica    Romans 10
14   How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15   And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
