San Diego trying to stop home Bible study

May 22nd, 2009

While California attempts to push the gay lifestyle onto children as young as five, Christians are being harassed for holding Bible studies in the homes of believers.

A local pastor and his wife claim they were interrogated by a San Diego County official, who then threatened them with escalating fines if they continued to hold Bible studies in their home, 10News reported.

Attorney Dean Broyles of The Western Center For Law & Policy was shocked with what happened to the pastor and his wife.

Broyles said, “The county asked, ‘Do you have a regular meeting in your home?’ She said, ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you say amen?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you pray?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Do you say praise the Lord?’ ‘Yes.’”

The county employee notified the couple that the small Bible study, with an average of 15 people attending, was in violation of County regulations, according to Broyles.

Broyles said a few days later the couple received a written warning that listed “unlawful use of land” and told them to “stop religious assembly or apply for a major use permit” — a process that could cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Also in California, a 75 year-old cross memorializing soldiers killed defending this country during World War I has been declared unconstitutional because an atheist “may drive by, see it, and be offended.” I kid you not, that is what the court said. Who knew atheists were such pansies? The case is likely headed to the Supreme Court.

The systematic, government sanctioned removal of God from society is one of the reasons God sends His holy judgment upon the United States, possibly depicted in Isaiah 18:2, 7; and Jeremiah 50:11, 24, 29, 31, & 32.

Update (June 4): San Diego has reversed course on the Bible study and has issued an apology to the group.
