GraceLife Church in Edmonton, Alberta was raided by Canadian authorities on Wednesday after the church had refused to comply with senseless COVID-19 edicts that trample upon the rights of Christians to worship.
They also fenced off the property in an attempt to keep Christians from being able to venerate Jesus as their savior. The church is led by Pastor James Coates, who has already served 35 days in jail because of his defiant stand against public health tyrants.
Canadian authorities are making it clear that they are not finished punishing Coates and his flock. Like the Chinese Communist Party, these Canadian authorities want to send a message to Christians across the country that their master is the state, not Christ.
Reporters with Canadian-based alternative news outlet Rebel News claim that the parishioners are undeterred and will continue to worship despite the behavior of the tyrants:
The COVID-19 scamdemic has given Canadian bureaucrats the perfect opportunity to crack down on Christianity, but they were persecuting Christians long before the virus ever emerged out of Wuhan.
Big League Politics reported on a Christian pastor who was arrested in 2019 after being accosted by LGBT thugs who were triggered by the truth of the Gospel:
“A Christian pastor named David Lynn was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace with “derogatory comments” on Tuesday for preaching the word of God on a street corner at Church-Wellesley Village in Toronto, ON.
After the disciple of Christ was harassed by a group of unruly protesters, he was hauled off in handcuffs by law enforcement because preaching the Gospel was considered to be a criminal violation.
The LGBT mob cheered on as the man was dragged away in handcuffs, a sign of things to come if their perverse agenda continues unabated…
“It’s unfortunate that I am subject to this kind of discrimination and bullying and marginalization simply for saying God loves you, there is hope for you, I accept you and tolerate you. I shouldn’t be in this position, I didn’t do anything illegal,” Lynn said following his arrest. He is now out on bond.
Lynn was shown on the video saying frequently that “God is love,” and that he doesn’t hate anyone. This didn’t stop the police from apprehending him anyway.
“I didn’t know this was the start of the pride month…I didn’t say anything specific to the LGBTQ community, it’s all on live stream,” he said to reporters.
Lynn believes that the LGBT protesters and other hostile anti-Christians throughout his country want him to “stay in the closet” about his Christian beliefs. His arrest will send a chilling effect to others who want to preach the word of Christ in the liberal-dominated country.
“It looked as though they had an event waiting for me, and they had some form of hatred against me,” Lynn said.”
Canada is particularly far gone as a nation, but the rest of Western Civilization is not far behind them. If more Christians do not stand against government tyranny (as Polish Christians did heroically on Easter) and do so quickly, their religious liberties will be gone forever.
