“The problems with these kinds of laws are that there is often no clear definition of what is considered criminal hatred. There is ambiguity as to what public statements will constitute a criminal offence,” Pastor Danny said. (more…)

Is Jesus Still In The Tomb?

Bill MuehlenbergSubject: Is Jesus still in the tomb?

Article by Bill Muehlenberg   CultureWatch
 

Dear friends
The attack on the faith is getting more pronounced by the day. Hot on the heels of the Da Vinci Code, we now have every media outlet on earth reporting the story that the tomb of Jesus has been found, and he must not have risen from the dead after all. According to Paul in I Cor. 15:16,17, if Jesus is not resurrected, then we can call it quits, pack out bags and go home.
But the theory has been denounced by many. I have written an article on it:

The Latest Bill to Approach the House – Why “Hate Crimes” Legislation is Such a Concern

U.S. House Committeeby Aimee Herd : Feb 23, 2007 : TruthTellers.org

“It is conceivable that preaching or teaching against homosexual conduct could be prosecuted as conspiracy to commit a hate crime.”

No one with reasonable compassion for another, especially a Christian, would want to commit or perpetuate a hate crime. On the surface, legislation that prosecutes those who do such things seems like a positive thing. However, the hate crime legislation approaching the U.S. House of Representatives of late, similar to that which was wrestled with in the UK, could force constraints on any teaching or preaching not favorable toward homosexuality.

by Erin Roach/TN : Feb 23, 2007 : BPNews

“Why should it be permissible for an employee standing around the water cooler to declare that ‘Tiger Woods is god,’ but a firing offense for him to say ‘Jesus is Lord?’ These are the kinds of contradictions we are trying to address.”

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville, on February 20, that the Department of Justice is enacting a program called the First Freedom Project that would increase education about religious discrimination through training seminars held throughout the country over the next few months.

African Anglicans Say Gay Bishops Affirmation ‘Shatters Hopes of Reconciliation’

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter – January 10, 2013

Anglican leaders in Africa have expressed their outrage over the Church of England’s decision to approve gay bishops in its order, saying that the decision could put an end to hopes of healing broken relationships in the Communion.

Archbishop Nicholas Okoh of Nigeria, one of the world’s largest provinces of the Anglican Communion with 17 million members, said that the affirmation of gay bishops “could very well shatter whatever hopes we had for healing and reconciliation within our beloved Communion,” Reuters reported.

Okoh added that the Church of England has given into “the contemporary idols of secularism and moral expediency,” and that it is “one step removed from the moral precipice we have already witnessed in The Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church in Canada.”

Last week, the House of Bishops of the Church of England announced that it had internally decided to allow gay clergy to serve as bishops if they promise a life of celibacy, even if they are in a same-sex civil partnership.
