Pennsylvania Man Arrested for Quoting Bible at Gay Pride Event

This is from The Dissenter, a Pennsylvania man arrested for quoting

Bible verses at gay pride event. It said, in an egregious spectacle that could only be described as a brutal assault on religious liberty,

Damon Atkins, a Christian preacher, was publicly shackled and hauled off for exercising his constitutional right to free speech in the town of Redding, Pennsylvania.

This is what they're doing in Redding City. Tyrant cops threatening older men and myself are standing out here.

You got, oh, just everything you can imagine. So this is quite crazy, but a wonderful providence of God that I could walk out here.

And these cops over here, these guys are tyrants. That man threatened me, laid hands on me. But by the grace of God, I could preach for about 10 minutes or so, like I said, before he did that.

So the gospel went out. The law went out. The gospel went out. God's going to do work with it.

He's apparently a professing Christian, too. That's the horrible thing about this. Looks like some more men just showed up to support us.

This cop's going to give them a hard time. Oh, I'm respected.

You know who's cheering for us? The people that are in hell. So you do you, and I'm going to do me. This is public property.

You. God is not. That's all. I cannot believe

I'm watching this. You got it.

Yeah. Yeah. They're threatening us earlier. Displaying, you know, nakedness, these lewd acts, which often happens at these parades.

I mean, that is what should be illegal. You know, they used to be a crime in this country.

But now who's the criminal? Well, it's the Christian preacher. You show up with a Bible and start simply reading

Bible verses. You could get arrested. So this is America in the year 2023.

Not surprising, but this is a story. If you want to read more, you can go to the dissenter website.

But I want to leave you on a positive note. It's 957. Just have a couple minutes left with all the bad things.

You know, that's the nature of news. News is negative, right? If it if it bleeds, it leads.

That's it. Just turn on the six o 'clock news. It's mostly negative because that's what brings in viewers.

And then they'll end with a positive story. So that's just the nature of things. Matter of fact, if you read the

Bible, it's been said that the Bible's two thirds negative. But how does it end? It ends with a positive story.

See, it doesn't matter. I mean, it matters for people in the here and now. But in the grand scheme of things, whatever people are doing, resisting

God, go back to our Bible study with the Philistines and how they opposed God. They didn't win. They couldn't win.

So whether it's the Philistines or the Babylonians or the Romans or people today who are resisting and rebelling against God, they can't win.

They're not going to win. The day is going to come when Jesus will return. He will set up his kingdom, which shall last for 1000 years.

And at the end of that kingdom, what goes on for eternity is what? A new heaven and a new earth.

A new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

No more crying, no more strife, no more pain, no more tears.

What we're seeing right now is only temporary. God's kingdom lasts forever.
