OF course this was in leftard England where free speech died a long time ago.

Miano said he did not focus entirely on homosexuality, but addressed all forms of sexual immorality using I Thessalonians 4:1-2 – a biblical passage that mentions sexual immorality.

“All of these are considered mainstream Christian positions and have been taught and believed by Christians for thousands of years," he said.

"Police took the retired deputy sheriff to a nearby jail where he was fingerprinted. Officers also took a sample of his DNA and then he was interrogated," Starnes wrote.

“It was very distressing to be arrested and interrogated for openly expressing my deeply held Christian beliefs,” Miano said.

According to a transcript of the interrogation, Miano was asked if he believed that homosexuality is a sin.

"Okay, and you believe through, your, your religion, that homosexuality is a sin?" the police interviewer asked.

"Yes, I do," Miano replied.

The interviewer then asked Miano how he thought people in the general public might feel hearing his message.

Miano was also asked if he would help a homosexual who asked for a favor.

"The word of God tells me to love your neighbor as myself," Miano answered.

Starnes said Miano was troubled that a hypothetical situation could be used against him in court.

“I was actually going to be tried for how I thought,” he said.

It will eventually be illegal to preach the Gospel here in the US as well. Christians need to prepare now BEFORE the storm.

There is a significant amount of Supreme Court precedence protecting the "freedoms" of hateful street preachers.

I wouldn't say that a man being charged with a crime for preaching the Truth of the Gospel is 'ending well.'

I don't think he's been charged. with anything.

How do we know he was telling the truth?

He wasn't "charged with a crime". He was brought in for questioning, then released.

Is there a "right" to free speech in England?

 

[koshergrl]

Actually, no, I don't believe there is.

He is entitled to his opinion, but he shouldn't be broadcasting it to the world. The officer is right - how would homosexual members of the public feel, being told that they are hated?

 

[koshergrl]

Shut up, Noomi. You never get to speak on this topic again, after the way you humiliated yourself last time.

 

[Sunni Man]

I believe that Canada has the same laws restricting freedom of speech when it comes to calling homosexuality a sin. ..

 

[koshergrl]

Though I have to admit I'm a little curious to find out if you're half as ignorant about the English system as you are about the US one...and I'm equally curious to see if you will let that stop you from making ridiculous and inaccurate pronouncements...yet again.

 

[Noomi]

Shut up, Noomi. You never get to speak on this topic again, after the way you humiliated yourself last time.

STFU. I have as much right to an opinion on this as you do.

 

[Sunni Man]

^^^ Chick fight!! ..

^^^ Chick fight!! ..

LOL. Nah, as much as KG gives me the shits, she has a good heart.

I hope. Heheh.

Shut up, Noomi. You never get to speak on this topic again, after the way you humiliated yourself last time.

You were talking about the right to speak earlier....

The man goes into a country not his own, with a loudspeaker system and a camera, and objects when he is arrested? Then has the audacity to claim it was because of his religion? Now that is chutzpah.
