Christian pastor David Lynn was arrested and handcuffed by Ontario law enforcement, and charged with disturbing the peace with “derogatory comments” in early June. This for preaching on a street corner at Church-Wellesley Village in Toronto, Ontario.
Bible preaching openly in Canada is a criminal violation. The Supreme Court of Canada unanimously ruled in March 2013 that citizens are not free to quote the Bible regarding the sin of homosexual behavior.
Christian Headlines reports that in Sweden pastor Ake Green, “was sentenced to one month in prison on a charge of inciting hatred against homosexuals.” Green is the pastor of a Pentecostal congregation in Kalmar, Sweden. In January this year, Green was found guilty of “hate speech against homosexuals” for a sermon he preached 16 years ago, in 2003.
“In Europe, people are starting to be jailed for saying what they think.” Those words were spoken by Vladimir Palko, the Slovak Interior Minister, in a strongly worded protest to the Swedish ambassador to Slovakia. The minister’s comments represented outrage over the jailing of a Christian pastor for preaching against homosexuality. The arrest of this pastor in Sweden is only a foretaste of what is to come, if homosexual advocates and their ideology gain traction in the United States and other nations.”
