New House/Senate Bill Would Send Christians to Jail for Negative Statements Against Homosexuality

If pastors and other Christians don’t aggressively oppose a bill now in Congress, in the near future they will be subject to huge fines and prison terms if they say anything negative about homosexuality.

The proposed law would make it a crime to preach on Romans Chapter 1 or I Corinthians Chapter 6. Or even to discuss them in a Sunday School class. If churches and individuals want to keep the government from telling them what they can and cannot preach and teach about homosexuality, they better get involved now!

House bill H.R. 1592 and Senate bill S. 1105 would make negative statements concerning homosexuality, such as calling the practice of homosexuality a sin from the pulpit, a “hate crime” punishable by law. This dangerous legislation would take away your freedom of speech and your freedom of religion. Consider what has already happened:

• A California lawsuit which is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court would make the use of the words “natural family,” “marriage” and “union of a man and a woman” a “hate speech” crime in government workplaces. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has already ruled in favor of the plaintiffs!
• CNN and The Washington Post both reported that General Peter Pace, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired because he publicly expressed moral opposition to homosexual behavior.

If you think our efforts are worthy, would you please support us with a small gift? Thank you for caring enough to get involved.

Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as possible by forwarding it to your family and friends.

Sincerely,

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman

Liberty Letters Comment: Again, the homosexual lobby displays itself not as a true liberty movement but an arm of the larger Communist revolution, which still infects every nation on earth, is still gaining momentum and power, is not flagging and fizzling as the disarming propagandists claim, but is intent on exploiting homosexuals as they have nearly every other minority to crush Christianity, outlaw God, take down freedom of religion, speech, press, and assembly, and otherwise exalt the state and enslave mankind: all mankind: black, white, male, female, rich, poor, Christian, atheist, straight, and gay – all in the name of freeing him. Either we wake up and have the courage to call a spade a spade, and the patriotism to fight back with our time, talents, and resources, or prepare are wrists and ankles for the shackles we fully deserve. I hope you will choose the former.
