Yesterday, March 22 the House Judiciary Committee started working on legislation that will put your religious freedoms in danger. The committee is scheduled to mark-up the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009.
The day before I sent direct letters to Washington and ask my friends to do the same through the program "Point of View" on the net. Because I am concerned about my religious freedom as a Christian. In the bill , it will give additional protect under this law to those who choose the alternate sexual preference. Buy the way there are now 30 category's listed by the psychiatric community. These individuals will get more protection in cases that involve reported threats or violence against such persons. The word in that sentence you need to pay attention to is reported. This opens the flood gate to all kinds of perceived attacks or allegations .

First off there are all ready equal protection rights for anyone that is threatened or violence is aimed at under our current laws. But this bill is aimed at protecting this class of people even more with additional jail time up to 10 years in prison and hefty steep fines in the hundreds of thousands upon anyone who is convicted on a "HATE CRIME ".
Before I go any further, it is very possible if this bill is passed under the Obama Watch, which he said he would sign immediately, I may not even be aloud to even mention this to you. I kid you not !
In my title of this blog I mentioned a letter from a friend who wrote back. In it they give an eye-opening view of what it is like now in Canada where they have such a law. So read the letter now:
"Hello Gary, thank you for the forwarded message. So sorry to hear that the U.S. is going the way of Canada. The physical beauty of our countries cannot make up for the amoral mess we witness all around.. In Canada it is a hate crime to even speak ill of homosexual men and women. Over the years, God has placed many homosexual people in my life and God shows that there are indeed people in this lifestyle that upon hearing the faithfully presented Gospel in all it's fullness, are actually willing to repent. They must not be robbed of the opportunity to hear it. My ex-boss for example told me (and we had many conversations) that the bottom line is that he must hear the truth no matter what the cost. That's but one example of a homosexual man that knows the person presenting the gospel to him loved him, and not hated him. After I left the company in which I worked for 22 years, I opened a boutique that lasted only one year and cost me all my money. I was sorry to see it end (due to slow business) as the gospel was presented there and the change room sometimes used as a prayer chamber. But I kid you not Gary, I couldn't have gone on much longer with the cross dressers (as polite as they were) nor the male couple with their 8 year old adopted daughter looking for something colourful for her to wear to the Vancouver Pride parade. People think nothing of taking their children to this parade of semi nudity and overt public sexuality. There was even the demand from men in this city for the right to use Stanley Park for public what they can't restrict to private. When I type these things out it jolts even I and sadly, I've seen a lot. I do not think that it will be much longer until we see the return of our great God. There is a reason why it is called the great and terrible day of the Lord. Thank you for sharing and thank you for listening. "
Folks, this will happen in America if this bill is passed ! Here is a Christian who wants to tell them Jesus loves them and they can not for fear of prosecution because of the laws in Canada now. You could touch the arm of someone like this just sharing the gospel of Christ , being friendly and be accused of being a hater of a hate crime. I kid you not ! You could be a pastor or priest in a pulpit telling your church what God's word the Bible says about this life style and be hauled off to jail accused of a hate crime. This has already happened in Canada ! What about the minister of your church being hauled away because they can prove he lead someone one else to commit a crime by preaching against this life style ?
The really sad thing about this is you will have to reconsider witnessing to them about Jesus because you could end up in prison. The Devil really hates people doesn't he ! He wants to use this law to put an end to people like this hearing the truth about God .
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

My friends I could talk all day about the implications of this law if it is passed. We need to pray for our country, and contact our house of representatives to stop this "Hate Crimes Bill " !
If not your freedom of speech will be taken away , even worse the preaching of Gods word may end. Did I say that Bibles could be revised or burned because they would be considered instruments used for a hate crime. YOU think I'm kidding don't you ? I am not !
