Proof The Bible Is True

As far back as 2009, the BBC was reporting on the harassment of street preachers, devoting an entire Sunday broadcast to the subject on Aug. 23, 2009. The program included “a recording of a recent incident where a street preacher was told by police officers that it is a criminal offence to identify homosexuality as a ‘sin.'”

 

Since then, quite a few street preachers have been arrested for even less direct offenses, most recently a 71-year-old street preacher who, together with his colleague, explained God’s plan for male and female marriage as found in Genesis. For this he was roughly handcuffed and arrested.

 

But it’s one thing to be arrested for allegedly offending people while preaching on the streets, as horrific and shocking as that is. It’s another thing to be fired from your job and reported to the government as a religious extremist and potential terrorist for preaching a graciously worded sermon on sexuality in an allegedly Christian school.
