This post is a follow-up of the last post on this blog. This post is intended to share a little more information to help people understand how blessed we are to share Jesus Christ freely here in the United States. Although, one could start to wonder how long Christians will have the freedom to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in the U.S.
Let me explain that statement a little bit. Since the Hate Crimes bill was passed, which initially looks like a good bill, but after taking a closer look it seems the bill can provide a way for judges or government officials to put laws in place that prevents Christians from sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. In an article by onenewsnow.com there is the following statement,
"Public school curriculum could be built entirely on the idea of what is illegal hate in our culture. And our children could be indoctrinated [to believe that] if you criticize another religion or mention Jesus as being the only way, that's hateful--- [or] if you say that homosexuality is a sin, that's hateful. And then there is the IRS, which Parshall says could apply the hate crimes law as a national policy on homosexuality and other world religions. And [they] could start taking a look at Christian non-profit ministries and [telling them if they] want to be tax exempt, [they] can't speak hatefully about other groups," he suggests. "That would be defined as not criticizing Islam or not being critical of the homosexual lifestyle. Those are just a few of the ripple-out effects."
Also, please see the following video clip of a gentlemen arrested in England for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ while street preaching. Could this happen in the United States? Let me know what you think.
When it comes down to it, I know we are not to worry about tomorrow, so let's not. Let's just focus on the day that God has given to share Jesus clearly to a generation who needs Him. And please don't let yourself one day in the future to say, "Boy, I sure wish I would have shared Jesus when I had the freedom to do without being arrested."
