That was the whole extent of the crime.Īggravating circumstances made it worse than just that. We must stand as they attempt steal our right to live truthfully before our Elohim through threatening action & going ahead with it.By his own admission, as you can see in a video, Martinez tore down the flag from the church, took it in front of a local dive, and burned it. The young have been lost to truth for the fake love agenda…………. He is now employed in the Presbyterian church in that area with a small OLD congregation. I am still praying for his eyes to be opened to more truth. The congregation dissipated before his eyes as he preached homosexuality is a sin. The minister who was administering that church at the time moved to another appointment and resigned after much angst of heart of the acceptance of that diocese of homosexual marriage as God’s will. I spoke yesterday with a woman I used to attend an Episcopalian church here before Abba showed me His Word wasn’t what the church followed. May they repent soon and join this man in rejecting wickedness… not upholding it. I would not like to be a member of that organisation when Yeshua returns to judge. The ‘church’ must have been part of the prosecuting witness too. Offence has been made a mockery of by this world’s perverted system.
The banner above the doorway reads “God is still speaking.” The banner was stolen and lit on fire on early Tuesday morning. The United Church of Christ is seen in Ames, Iowa.

Moreover, they’re fascistically imposing their perverse, upside down values upon the rest of society through the leftist media and leftist judges and politicians. Moreover, what do you think the penalty would have been had this man burned a Christian flag, or an American flag? Well, now that’s different, isn’t it? This is freedom of speech, not hate speech!Ĭan you see the lunacy of the liberal left? They have turned truth, morality and anything that is good on its head, so that they now view good as evil, right as wrong and up as down. Really now! Sixteen years in prison for burning a homosexual pride flag? Does the penalty fit the crime? Who in a non-twisted and non-morally perverted mind would think so? Yet the biblical Gideon did a similar thing when he tore down the pagan idols in his home town, and the Bible lauds him for his brave act of righteousness! And how about Yeshua overturning the money changers tables in the temple? Should the man have stolen the flag from the church? Maybe not. Here is another example a justice run amok by leftist, amoral God-haters including this particular so-called Christian church.
