Christian voice -their boss has been arrested. why ????

extra ordinary · 06-09-2006, 09:19 PM

the main man of Christian voice has been arrested ( ! ) for giving out quotes from the holy bible at a gay pride march.
what ? I am so angry, please someone restrain me. Does anyone know what has become of him ? I am as a fellow Christian concerned for him.

Here is a man of peace using free speech in his own country, to try to advance a part of Chistianity that our increasingly police state cannot swallow.

this is the thought police and gone bonkers state in action, to arrest him is an outrage !!!

Is this what we are reduced to, putting a gag on anyone who shouId dare to be normal.

Can I get eco-fascists arrested for offending me with their witchcraft leaflets? How about EU leaflets, they realy offend me?

We have gone MAD! I just luv it - the 'Minorities Support Unit'.

CHRISTIAN VOICE DIRECTOR ARRESTED AT GAY MARDI GRAS
PRESS RELEASE - Immediate 9.00 hrs Sunday 3rd September 2006

The National Director of a Christian prayer and lobby group was arrested by South Wales Police yesterday afternoon for distributing Gospel tracts at a homosexual event. An Inspector Chad, wearing a fluorescent vest with 'Minorities Support Unit' on the back, detained Stephen Green when he refused to stop giving out the leaflets to people entering Bute Park in Cardiff, where the 'Mardi Gras' event was being held.

Mr Green was kept in the cells at Cardiff Police Station for over four hours before being charged with using 'threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby, contrary to section 5(1) and (6) of the Public Order Act 1986'. He is due to appear at Cardiff Magistrates Court next Wednesday (6th September) at 9.45am.

Stephen Green said today:

"I thank God for the honour of being locked up for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. All the same, I am astonished that South Wales Police have a special unit dedicated to silencing those who disagree with homosexuality. Stonewall, the homosexual rights organisation, say the South Wales Police 'Minorities Support Unit' 'works closely with the LGBT communities'. Maybe they work a bit too closely when an evangelist can be victimised simply because he is giving out leaflets quoting verses from the same Bible police officers swear on in court.

"Speaking about righteousness, morality, sin, repentance and the forgiveness sinners can find in the cross of Jesus Christ may well offend the fragile sensibilities of homosexuals, but should the police have a partisan unit whose job is to round up Christian dissidents, treat them like thought criminals and trample on freedom of speech?

"I am constantly hearing stories of Christian preachers being told to shut up by bullying police officers with personal issues or axes to grind. In most cases they simply comply. But if we are to safeguard our historic freedoms, someone has to make a stand. I just pray that God's strength will be enough for me to see this through, because I know from the words of Christ that in my own strength I can do nothing.

"The leaflet itself, 'Same-Sex Love - Same-Sex Sex; What does the Bible say?' (Click on the link to view the leaflet) isn't even that hard-hitting. Sure, it quotes the Bible to establish that same-sex sex is sin, it says that no-one has to stay gay and asks how the reader will stand in the Day of Judgment. But it concentrates on the Parable of the Prodigal Son, those words of the Lord Jesus which have given countless people down the ages the assurance of God's forgiveness if they truly repent. It ends by quoting the famous verse of John 3:16, 'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life'. That's good news.
"The Cross will always be 'a rock of offense' to those who disobey God's eternal word. We shall just have to see whether the Courts will agree with the gay-friendly police of South Wales that the Christian faith of the United Kingdom, and the Bible which is read in churches up and down the land, and upon which the Queen took her Coronation Oath, is now 'threatening, abusive or insulting'.

ENDS

The police would not arrest anyone for calling for the beheading of non-Muslims. There is something very frightening about the country we live in today. :cry:

Secondly, along with this campaign of terror, the enemy has a propaganda strategy. Osama bin Laden laid out this strategy in a letter to the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, that coalition forces uncovered in Afghanistan in 2002. In it, bin Laden says that al Qaeda intends to "[launch]," in his words, "a media campaign… to create a wedge between the American people and their government." This media campaign, bin Laden says, will send the American people a number of messages, including "that their government [will] bring them more losses, in finances and casualties." And he goes on to say that "they are being sacrificed… to serve… the big investors, especially the Jews." Bin Laden says that by delivering these messages, al Qaeda "aims at creating pressure from the American people on the American government to stop their campaign against Afghanistan."

We must assume they would use ANY issue they could as a wedge to divide the people from the government.

We must also assume they'd do so in the UK just as readily as they would in the US.

For the sake of creating that division they might take EITHER side of the argument without regard to their own real ideology.

Be careful you don't fall into their trap.

Nobody should ever be arrested for handing out leaflets, and if I was certain that that was the whole story then I'd stand beside him for his next protest. However, this guy is the publicity freak whose Christian Voice supporters allegedly made death threats against BBC executives for screening Jerry Springer - The Opera. I also notice that the press release says :

Given his reputation as a publicity-junkie, an unworthy suspicion is lurking in my cranium that possibly Mr Green set out to get himself arrested. I could be utterly wrong, of course. The version below is purely my little fantasy, concocted for my own amusement in these dark times:

PC Jones: Move along please, sir.
Mr Green: Oh? Why should I do that, you fat Welsh ****?
PC Jones: Because you are standing on my foot. Look, sir, why don't you calm down and go home for a nice cuppa?
Mr Green: (splutters) GO HOME? You spawn of Satan! [bleep] - I'm on a mission from God! God [bleep] hates homosexuals! [bleep]!
Inspector Chad: Any trouble, Jones?
PC Jones: Yes sir, this gentleman keeps spitting on me.
Inspector Chad: I'm sure he means nothing by it and is merely trying to make a point. Homophobes are a recognized minority and are entitled to make their point in a valid but very real way... [drones on for 10 minutes until Green runs off shrieking wildly] Hey, Jones, what is he doing to that police horse? Oi, you can't shove your leaflets up there! NO!!!

I cannot imagine mr green getting really abusive and nasty, I am just wondering how I can get myself arrested.
Thinking if I submit an item with my name and address and day time tel. number to the BBC saying gay sex is wrong - plain and simple, do you think that wouId do it ?
or if I put a sticker in my car window and drive past the council offices in Brighton ?
or how about a t shirt with the gospel quotes on it ?
or set up a hetrosexual switchboard that asks gays politely to reconsider ?
any advice please ?

Just stand quietly outside the gates to Downing Street and tell one of the officers on duty that you are a protestor.
