Street Preacher Confronted By Tampa Police

[macroheart]

Sidewalks are closed. Sidewalks are closed. Sidewalks are closed.

LOL great job brother

[Preacher717]

Preaching on public property is a right Americans have, it is not a public nuisance.

As far as disturbing the peace, the Word of God is an offence to the wicked. There reaction is disturbing the peace.

[chadsummers01]

I 100% agree with the tactics, I just know that there might be a better way of dealing with gays and lesbians. He dealt more with the police, which took away time from ministering. It's only going to get worse and worse before Christ raptures his people home. Let me make it even more clear, if you are gay you are going to hell. I do not apologize for the gospel. Christ loves gay people, but God will NEVER condon such wickedness. it is an abomination to God.

[zntoine]

this man needs help , lol.....

[Brien182]

i don't get why anyone would want to preach in the road. theres traffic. and i don't feel like rolling down my window for some dick to tell me im going to hell if i don't go to church.

[getchasumm]

Cops are now corrupted by the gay lovers...all obvious here !

[dcvc07]

This guy is a dumbass has no idea what he is talking about. He just wants to have his videos on youtube if he was what he says he is that he should have some respect to the law enforcement

[bigozz5]

A christian? All I see is someone being arrogant and rude and going around causing trouble and being rude to the police. You know what the Bible says? 'You will know them by their fruit'.

[aTH3iSTDuD3]

God Bless Atheism :)

[kingttx]

Wow! I've never seen so much hate come out of these comments! The very people who say Christians shouldn't say such mean things (note of sarcasm) turn around and demean those who do believe in absolute right and wrong. I guess it makes them feel better to cut down what makes them feel uncomfortable.

Signed - a thinking man. ;)

[punchdrunkatheist]

That was just as much of a presumption as anything else.

Signed - a thinking man.

[josefbrisko]

Were you not paying attention? They said You can't preach IN the road, because you create a public hazard, you could be hit by a car. You can preach on the sidewalk. Don't be a retard, you're lucky they didn't take your smart mouth in for being a jackass

[chillifart]

uh... if the crosswalk says "go", we have the right to preach on the road. Try paying attention, sinner.

[WeedOfCrime]

Dude, you can preach in traffic all you want and I wish you would. Let's hope your reflexes are as slow as your mind.

[foxtrck2]

My personal opinion is that religion is for the weak of mind, like santa, its a nice lie to make people feel better. The problem starts when these people are so insecure that they are not happy believing it themselves, and they have to try and get others to do so as well.

All religions should preach respect other peoples choices, If people wanted to be preached to they would be in church, they have that choice.

Street preachers are ignorant and take away the right to choice.

[greasemonkeyX667]

The weak infant is burning in his crib. I am watching his tender flesh burning away. The flames are blackening the body of fragility. Clouds of smoke have filled the manger. The child's screaming has finally stopped. The incinerated skin crumbling faintly to the ground. I stare at the smoldering corpse and now remove the skull. It is time to return to the depths. As demons praise my return. I enter my crypt and place the prize above my shrine. Behold! The son of god is now dead!

[jeremym51]

Its sad i have to use sarcasm to get my point across but this is how they view you, im sorry i wish you could still think for your self but obviously a book written by another group of men thousands of years ago is more prevalent.

I Dont hate you and im not  a Christian, my parents are and i respect there standards, but also they dont hate as you seem to, i know your intentions are good but your creating hate.

[jeremym51]

hey man, just wondering if you would come to concord nc, and preach, i think these faggots should die, i mean common God wants them dead to, right? I think it would be good come with your friends and start some shit. I agree with you Faggots should die, i mean geese they cause SO many problems you know, like how they stand at your Christian festivals and shout"be gay its the only way", i think they might be getting inot our kids minds and we should do something about it.

[ThirstyonThursday]

hey douchebag none of us care about your imaginary friend or myths from the bronze age.

[kevmehl]

wow ive never liked police so much lol

[Crosisborg]

Tis bigot preacher is not honest in this video. A permitted event does indeed include the public sidewalk.

[Dejavu12321]

Just like the police to through salt on wounds.

FYI FACT!!! TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO WORKS WITH THE DYING. THERE IS NOTHING MORE HORRIFIC THAN A DYING ATHEIST YET THOSE WITH FAITH AND PEACE SEEM TO CARRY FORWARD PEACEFULLY. I mean it's hard now to deny the fact that faith ultimately helps you with the most intense moment that we all face wether you belive there is something afterwards or not. That same intense moment btw molds your life weather you recognize it or not as well.

[sttau]

Thanks for your support to mock god and religion. We atheists appreciate your work.

[65910428]

DYoure going about it all wrong-You're not leading people to God you are pushing them away from him.When Jesus came upon the adulteress who'd been caught & she was drug into the streets to be stoned what did Jesus do?he said to her "accusers" "he who has not sinned-let him throw the first stones." Have some mercy -your sin is no different than the sin of homosexuality-you cheating on your taxes for example isn't any different- Tell people how much God loves them not how they are going to hell.

[loudnmouthy]

If you want to preach in the road,so be it,but if someone runs you over then you have no one but yourself to blame.

[Christnapper]

Euthanize this freak of nature.

[Markx12F]

I'm christian, but its not a good idea to stand in the road whether your preaching or not.

[WineShire]

Spreed your shit in churchs not pride event your not want there. But let me guess your relgion is one true religion just like every other Christian Religion and everyone else is doom unless they see your light. Take your lite shove it up your ass. God Love Gay People He would not be God if He didnt

[vivianh1]

These preachers are such a waste of a life. I would like to be at the gate when they get there and watch their faces when God tells them that they got the message all wrong!

[PreachersAreStupid9]

...or learn that jesus was a flaming homosexual.

[sprtslvr1973]

The preacher told the older officer he'd lay off the bullhorns. Then you can hear him obviousully speaking through a bullhorn.

[rmullin0715]

These street preachers are trying to prove or preach what? Obviously not the Gospel! otherwise their vidoes would be littered with them arguing with the police. These street preachers are looking for drama, therefore i label them the dramanites.

[Durthalion]

I commend the officers for doing their job and keeping you off the streets

[REPENTLuke13three]

A word for the "un-wise", Preaching the GOSPEL to EVERY CREATURE, is a COMMAND to EVERY CHRISTIAN. It is to be "PREACHED" WHICH MEANS- TIROUSLY DECLARING IT,i.e. shouting it from the housetops)And the TRUTH is very convicting, it points out the error so one can REPENT, and be saved.

[slovakmath]

When my parents attempted to brainwash me when I was a child growing up by making me attend a Protestant church, I recall being told that Christians should obey the laws of the land as well as the holy laws. So why does this schizophrenic delusional person trying to find loopholes and crevices in which he can continue his speech of hate, damnation, and the rapture while the officers attempt to keep order and peace on the streets by keeping him off the streets.

[slovakmath]

I am a devout atheists and will never believe in anything that is illogical but even if I was considering listening to street preachers, I would only listen to a calm individual who had the permission of the general public (obviously the general public includes police officers)

[oldfshngrl]

permission? no one needs the publics permission to exercise their free speech......I would fight for your right to say what you want even if I disagree with what you say....

[jackbirdsong]

yea, this guy is a real douche. he knows it, so he needs to go around interfering in other peoples lives in order to avoid examining his own.

[RapNameChaudeezy18]

Obviously, you cropped out some of what you recorded so that people watching the video can only see your side of the situation. This, like all your other "preachin'" videos, are of YOUR exclusive bias, not to mention just how much of a teenager you behave like in these videos (and in the making the videos themselves!). That's why many don't take you seriously.

[RapNameChaudeezy18]

If you want to preach the word of God, you should do it a more propper way so that more people might actually consider even a little of what you say. ;-)

[RapNameChaudeezy18]

*****Inserts picture of a whinebaby, crying incessively*****

^^^Preacher717

[erikuscs]

Your'e an idiot! Preach to people that want to hear it. Give soup to the homeless on Kennedy. Do God's will without trying to make a free speach statement. You know you were being disruptive.

[RapNameChaudeezy18]

^^^Double^^^

[10ago]

Preacher, there is not one set of rules and laws for fundamemtalist and another set for everyone else. Just abide by the laws, stop complaining and leave people alone. Can you do that? It's not hard to stop pestering people, all you have to do is stop. Try it. You represent a very small segment of americans and the rest of us find fundamentalist to be repulsive. Every time any of you makes a scene it increases that revulsion.

[Preacher717]

Try rebuking the sodomites and the abortionists for starter and stop rbuking the Preacher of God's Word.  Hypocrite!

[10ago]

I explained for you what hypocrisy is and you have again mis-used it. Please look it up and then use it in a sentence for me. I have no intention of rebuking "sodomites" and "abortionist" and you need to stop giving me orders. I dont consider you a preacher of any gods words, I consider you a preacher of evil and you better believe I will call it as I see it.

[Preacher717]

Well thank God we are not judged by hypocrites like you! We will be judged by God's Word. I suggest you read it before it is to late.

[10ago]

You used it in a sentence but still don't know what hypocrisy is. Tell me what I've said that was hypocritical and I'll explain to you why you are wrong and what hypocrisy is. For a lesson opener lets start with my earlier comment "I will call it as I see it." See what I'm saying is that I stand behind my perceptions and that my friend is anything but hypocritical. It is the opposite of hypocrisy. You are so delusional that I pitty you a bit

[msnast1]

Interesting how you interpret God's Word. He says "Judge not lest Ye be judged". Yet you stand on street corners and do that very thing. Or is this a case of God's word applying to everyone but you???

[ScaredPiglet]

Cops are arrogant, evil bastards.

[sacman687]

And one day they will save you from a true evil and you will praise them. Dont ever call 911 if they are evil.

[Preacher717]

Not ALL police officers are bad. Just the ones that don't know the law or don't do their jobs. I know some honest police officers who have integrity and honor.

[sacman687]

So some preachers are bad, by your own definition.If they don't know everything About God or follow Gods words fully. As a preacher, (If you are one) you should choose your words (like Bad) more carefully. What if you were talking to a rookie or better yet the City Attorney told the Police Dept what actions to take. They are not bad they are just taking their orders as their job entails.

[jl1611]

GOD HATE SODOMY!

Irainian law, consensual gay sex in any form is punishable by death, violators are reportedly given a choice of four methods of execution, hanging, stoning, halving by --sword--or being dropped from the highest perch. Remember BILL CLINTON don't ask don't tell POLICY , Black robe judges, what a blunder! LAWRENCE v TEXAS General George Washington did not tolerate the sodomites in his days! I KNGS 15:11-12 11 KINGS 23:7 PROV. 14:34 JUDE VERSE

[lailinde]

Gee! I know how much americans and the rest of the world look to Iran for an example these days! What an idiot!

[wally870]

If you want a place to preach go to a church. If people want to listen to it they will meet you there. How would this whining preacher feel if gays or another organization they believe against came to his church revival to force their beliefs on him.

[lafids]

people like this should be locked up and be kept away from sane ones

[emtaenow]

how many child molesters have you caught by the way 88% are straight i am sure you know a few

[Preacher717]

liar

[rackill]

yeah umm that isnt ok. Leave the homosexuals at peace and go back to your church.

[emtaenow]

this guy is the first guy to call pd if the gays come to his parade. he breaks the balls of the police he is unable to communicate with them he is a prick this is the same guy to show a dead fetus in a jar to a minor girl who is torn by an abortion

[Pikachubacca]

also i think the fact you had a bullhorn made things even worse. anybody preaching ANYTHING with a bullhorn in a public place isn't a good idea... it's just obnoxious. there are certain times and certain places you just don't do shit like that. common sense man.

[Preacher717]

How do you do it?

[Pikachubacca]

what did your shirt say? &what did you expect to get when you went down there to preach ur beliefs against homosexuals? ofcourse people are going to get frustrated. would you like it if homosexuals came to a christian event you were having & started preaching about their ways of life? i'm pretty sure you wouldn't.

[MIKEY19900]

keep your beleives to yourself and god bless some of the cops for not arresting you for---->(B.-OF-THE-P.)

next time preach a little louder in the cops face and see if that free speech. KEEP TRYING TO TEST THEM!!!!! (get right up to his/her face and do it) , get your own tv show , called GOD-TV ,PREACH ON TV

[Preacher717]

You need to read your Bible instead of listening to your pastor! Do a word study on reproof and rebuke according to 2 Timothy 4:1-5. Thyen read psalm 5:5, Psalm 7:11, John 3:18, and John 3:36 and then tell me they are God's Children. Also read the words in red and see what Jesus called people. Read John 7:7 space keeps me from continuing.

[lordzeno666]

Perhaps the anger directed towards Preacher717 is less because he's a xian with obnoxious arrogant views than because he's an asshole with a megaphone standing in the street annoying people trying to enjoy their lives. I'm sure if he partied with some gay boys for a night he'd really loosen up and maybe see that eating shellfish is actually worse than wearing tight shorts and dancing.

[505zombie]

If you make God angry enough, he will kill you and your family with his own sword. 22:24.... so if i were u i would stop hating gays and get used to them or else "god" is soposently going to kill you becuase he doesnt like "hate" and your going to get him angry.... because the bible says it so you better follow it...so you better get used to gays because their here to stay and their is nothing you can do about it. get a life.

[barSLS]

Ok what I want to know is what is the point of this vid? To show that people don't agree with your agressive preaching? People have opinions, deal with it. Just because they aren't the same as your's doesn't mean they're wrong.

[tiewazlaguz]

Why does "worship" music sound like all the other totally forgettable, radio friendly, standing-in-line-at-wal-mart stuff we hear? Because it doesn't inspire thinking. It's totally predictable. You don't have to think about it or try to figure it out, it's a spoon-feed, just like religious fanaticism. Is that all christians can do by way of creating music for their god? It's a pretty weak attempt. I think if I were god I'd be a little insulted. Just an observation...

[KitWonders]

For someone with the "ultimate truth", you clearly don't understand the basic legal rules of a pedestrian crosswalk. Normal, rational people understand you can't stand in the middle of a crosswalk, stopping traffic, talking on a bullhorn. It speaks to your delusional state. You clearly have a problem distinguishing between preaching "your gods law" & "societies laws". It's not "Another NEW law by police" idiot. Please learn to correctly follow "societies laws". Thanks :)

[kindtokochan]

I have gone to a christian school and learned the word of god. You are breaking so many rules. You're suppose to accept someone no matter what aren't you? You aren't suppose to criticize them for it is not you're right to. God is suppose to be the one judging that. In the bible when they talk about god there's this one line that goes something like this: Do not judge others, and so on.

[Preacher717]

You have really missed the boat! That christian school you went to did not teach you the Bible if these are the answers you learned. We are not to accept everyone! God Doesn't, that is why there is a hell. Read 2 Timothy 4:1-5 and understand reproof and rebuke. As far as judging read 1 Corinthians 2:14

[kindtokochan]

Judging is not meant for us to do. It is for god to do. We, are not to judge others, but accept them.

[Preacher717]

God does not accept sin or sinners. You must repent and be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Read 1 Corninthians 2:15 and tell me again we are not allowed to judge. READ YOUR BIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[kindtokochan]

I'm not even a christian... I'm agnostic O_o

[Preacher717]

OK now i understand why you don't know the truth.  Read 1 Corinthians 2:14 and you will see why you think the way you do.

[emtaenow]

if you had more balls u would have pushed to be arrested this childish video only proves you are a ball breaker many a good old fashioned stoning as in order

[KitWonders]

When you hand out literature, or speak on your horn, you cease just being a US citizen, & are now "soliciting religion". Solicitation is defined as oral persuasion to join in some endeavor or buy some product or service. See how that works? You see signs on stores, theaters, and neighborhoods that say No Solicitation for jackasses like you who don't understand law. Bet the cop TOLD you that, but you probably edited that out. You need drugs, & major help my friend.

[bgarbus]

The context we all have to remember here is that the Bible was written when people still thought the world was flat. Not to mention is was written a translated so many times it's simply not always accurate.

[Preacher717]

It was the catholic church that thought the earth was flat not the Bible!

[BradGarbus]

NEWS FLASH! The Bible was written by PEOPLE. Human Beings, flesh and bone. Fallible in every way. I would like to suggest you consider studing other world religions too, it would make you a more well rounded preacher. I also suggest learning a bit about quantum physics. It will open your mind, your eyes, and your heart. There is so much more to the world than most know. God Bless you. NAMASTE!

[Preacher717]

Just because humans are fallible doesn't mean the fail everytime. I believe my God who created the universe and shows His majesty in the complexity of a single cell can use imperfect man to preserve His perfect Word.

[BradGarbus]

Yes, but it is also about what is beyond the cell... I would like to suggest a movie for you to see... "What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole" or even better "How to Know God" both are excellent and I know you would get a lot out of them. Small fact: Quantum Physics has proven, we are only 1% flesh and bone, and 99% energy or what you would know as Spirit. When you think about this small life is rather insignificant when it comes to the 99% of what we really are. - NAMASTE!

[emtaenow]

the term my god says it all he is your god your weapon your sword mybe he is alla

[ParkSlopeChris]

Haha -- Marzett918 -- you've got Preacher on the run. He won't explain it because he can't! Thus he just evades the question and tries to keep preaching. It's called bridging and its a tactic that politicians use all the time to avoid the real question and discuss something else. Preacher, you are a discredit to your faith!

[Preacher717]

No, I am saying not everyone that says they are a christian is one.

Look at Matthew 7:22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

[Preacher717]

There are new people their every week. It is not all about the rejectors.

[drfib]

Your name calling and argumentative nature testify to your theology and lack of understanding, and therefore warrant no further responses. You are hypocritically guilty of the very thing you accuse Preacher717 of.

[drfib]

Could be more peaceful but I'd rather see this than no warning at all. Revelation 22:11 refers to a time in the future just before the return. As when Noah went into the Ark and the door was shut, it was too late for people to turn from their sin even though the flood had not yet come. This was prophetical of the 2nd coming. Today, if you hear His voice, you can still turn and be healed.

[drfib]

"Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand." Ezekiel 3:17-18

[drfib]

"A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign." Matthew 16:4.

[drfib]

"To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Indeed their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot give heed. Behold, the word of the LORD is a reproach to them; they have no delight in it." Jeremiah 6:10.

[drfib]

Just "saying" you are a Christian doesn't make it so. Look at all the drunk "Christians" caught in these videos with beads and going into night clubs. THEY are the ones giving Christians a bad name.

[Preacher717]

You do err not knowing scripture. Paul did not pick up a snake it bit him and he shook it off into the fire. it seems the unbelievers are the poison drinkers not the Christians. Cosuming all that alcohol is a religion to them.

[Preacher717]

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

That is after the books are closed. Before the tribulation. And just before Christ comes back. There is still hope for the unrighteous if the repent and accept Jesus. But we are in the last days and time is short.

[Preacher717]

Luke 9:52-56

And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?

[Preacher717]

But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

[Preacher717]

We are not asking Christ to rain fire on the wicked. We are going out and warning them of the judgement to come. You really are a Corinthians 2:14 person. I am amzed you can't see that and that you cannot understand this scripture.

[Preacher717]

I have great confidence in God's Word and promises. I would exhort you to examine yourself and see if you are in fact a 1 Corinthians 1:18a person.

[Preacher717]

I am not violating any scriptures!  I am fulfilling the great commision, Christ's last commandment before He was raised up.

[Preacher717]

Your presupositions prevent you from seeing the truth.

[Preacher717]

That is what they are! They certainly are not "gay"

You can call a dog turd a hotdog but that doesnt change what it truly is does it.

[Preacher717]

You would not recognize a real Christian if he stood right in front of you with a giant banner telling you what Gods Word says.

[Preacher717]

These sodoites are precious to God but given over to thei sin. God wishes that none perish but all come to a saving faith. I feel the same way! I preach a warning message.

[Preacher717]

No sodomite will go to heaven that is a fact. They need to repent and be cleansed from all unrighteousness.

[Preacher717]

It is what it is.

[Preacher717]

one body with Christ being the head. You cant be part of the body if you are not rled by the head.

[Preacher717]

Your body is the temple of God.

[Preacher717]

what verses were those?

[Preacher717]

READYOUR BIBLE!

We are the Body of Christ!  Every born again Christians make of the Church of Christ!

Do I have to do all yur thinking for you?

[Preacher717]

When a person becomes born again they are the church.

READ YOUR BIBLE

[Preacher717]

Oh my spiritually discerned groupy no one wants to hear a rebuke. I know it is hard for you to understand but I will keep our dialogue going in hopes that the Holy Spirit will give you repentance and a knowledge of the truth.

[frodiddly]

Ok so where in the bible does it say you get to be jerk and bother ppl who are not bothering you other than obviously exsisting.

[Preacher717]

2 Timothy 4:1-5

[dallased25]

I'm all for free speech, but when your opinion is not wanted, nor warranted, then leave well enough alone. I think gay, atheist, muslim, etc, pretty much anyone of any religion or belief that Christianity doesn't agree with, should go and protest every Sunday at Christian church services.

[Preacher717]

I agree!

[dallased25]

Wow, I'm surprised at that. Well then, I'll propose it, but only to those that warrant it. The next time I see a church protesting locally, I'll find out what church they are from, get a group together from whomever they were protesting against, (atheist, gay, etc) and go protest their church. Man, thanks for the vote of confidence, glad you agree.

[Preacher717]

Why not go to the one i go to every now and then? Belmont Baptist Church

[orangebandana]

I've just got to ask, and I'm hoping for a respectful answer:

Why in the world would one go in with such strong convictions where they are not welcome if not to stir up trouble?

[Preacher717]

Because of 2 timothy 4:1-5

[orangebandana]

In layman's terms means what exactly, Sir/Madam? I haven't memorized any sort of religious litterature.

[Preacher717]

Go to the Bible, 2 Timothy 4:1-5 is in the New Testament. Go to Chapter four and read the first five verses. it is not hard to understand. God said it better than I ever could. After you read it then we will talk.

[orangebandana]

Alright, that says that you are charged with spreading the word of the Bible. That does not say that you need to go and stir up trouble though, and risk having yourself incarcerated. How does one fufil thier ministry anyways? (Timothy 4:5)

[Preacher717]

The same way they did in the book of Acts. Read it then we'll talk.

[orangebandana]

Ahh, I see the game here. I keep reading the Bible and somehow that is your arguement. Sorry, Sir/Madam (since I still have no idea who you really are, I wouldn't want to offend) but I played this one with my Philosophy teacher for close to three years. You just don't have the same ... character, as he.

[Diactadon]

These folks are just Saint Paul wannabes. And ya know what? they are failing miserably.

[deloreanflux88]

It should be illegal to be christian. You people are just a lag on society.

[justcallmeismail]

I vote to let him preach in the intersection, lol, and let natural selection pick him off. Or jail him for breaching the peace, breaking noise ordinances, loitering, littering, inciting riot, and assault.

[Preacher717]

You sound like a prime candidate for communism. You really should get to know the first amendment

[rjbonacolta]

Communism in fact provides more freedom than any other system, you're thinking of state-authoritarianism, which was falsely called communism

[jl1611]

Rom.13:3 the police are not supposed to be a terrior to good works, but to thee evil, it`s a disgrace,the men in blue as a whole to shut up the street preachers. "good advice get you a good lawyer like Bro Billy Ball. and sue the city Of Alanta Ga for 2 million of dollars. Also up in Hendersonville Nc. HE got their attention also. it will work.

[nitadisaster]

free speech when NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR IT IS NOT FREE SPEECH, its if you dont shut the hell up youre going to get raided out of the area!!! makes sense to me. majority rules.

[nitadisaster]

they are only breaking the law, trying to twist everything into a violation against preaching. that guy is acting like an idiot. the world has been in a state of reform towards the secular. the majority of people you'd find anywhere

[nitadisaster]

preachers are not changing anything.

[Will777ABQ]

If that is Christianity I dont want any part of it. You guys and your messager are a turn off!

[GothicBlackDreams]

Preacher717, you had a right to be there. But you were obviously searching for trouble. Let people attending The Gay and Lesbian Film festival enjoy themselves. You don't see homosexuals raiding churches to protest your unfair persecution against them do you?

Your same organization is known to look for trouble other places as well (The Castle, Ybor). Do us all a favor and grow up (spiritually perhaps). You're not helping anyone.

[Preacher717]

I wish the sodomites would come to their local Churches and stand up for what they believe. I would just like to know what their standard for truth is. Also, how do you know we are not helping anyone? That sounds like an ignorant statement. Spoken without any facts or data. You do your position proud.

how ARE you helping anyone?

Lol.. you think sodomites are some kind of retarded thing that have no hopes, dreams, beliefs or LIFE... They'll burn in hell forever but could you at least let them enjoy themselves on earth(you don't see any of them imposing their beliefs/views on you eh?).

[jmalonear]

I am a born again christian that believes that sodomy is a sin as much as you...but I do believe that if you are strictly trying to cause trouble with law enforcement, then you should think twice. More prayer and less trouble would be the solution!

[Preacher717]

In street preaching you don't have to "cause trouble," trouble finds you! The police have a mindset that they are allowing you to preach. And if there is any confrontation they will pull that privilage. They are wrong! The first amendment is what allows us to preach on the street if there is confrontation they are required to stop the people trying to stop the excersice of the first amendment.

[Preacher717]

Sometimes when you take stand it looks like your pushing but all what is happening is you are trying to stand firm while they are pushing you. Praise Jesus and serve Him by obedience.

[oakpkdude]

You are a hateful person. If that's God's love you can keep it.

[PartyanmL720]

I just don't understand why you would be harassing people who obviously have no intention of listening to what you want to say. In your video you claim the sidewalks are not permitted; however the legal premise for that has already been decided twice in American courts, and your 1st amendment rights don't mean a thing under those cases.

[cln1921]

I am just saying you may need to change your approach. This video showed you on the attack, not showing Christ's love. It would have turned me off and I agree with the spirit of what you were doing, not the way you went about it. You were confrontational , your tactics put everyone on the defensive and you lost them , probably for good.

[Preacher717]

We are to expose deception, rebuke sin and exhort people to accept he gospel of Jesus Christ. Where am I turning thse people off to? Hell number two? Sometimes Christ would be very confrontational. Read your Bible. You talk about God's Love, what about His wrath? Read Psalm 5:5, Psalm 7:11, John 3:18 John 3:26 just to name a few.

[osiris7nz]

Judge not that you are not judged. Take the plank from your eye before you see the mote in your brother's. Jesus condemned the judgers not the "sinners". I suggest that You read Your bible a bit more carefully. What you are doing is of the devil.

[Preacher717]

Jesus' hardest rebukes were to the hypocrytes! Readyou Bile more carefully. Also, read John 3:17-18 about condemnation.

[leojboby]

Hypocrites like you preacher? Love the sinner by showing no compassion and no kindness?... if that's love, they probably don't want to know about it.

[cln1921]

Let those without sin cast the first stone.

[Preacher717]

Let those who reject Jesus be cast into hell? How shall they know the Lord unless someone tells them.

[leojboby]

I think they know already because of ppl like Bush, the Pope, that army general, that westboro church that gets wide coverage, the ex-gay ministries that also get publicized, the thousands and thousands of christians denominations and the predominantly christian society. The odds they they do not know what your preaching is VERY close to 0(if not 0), imo.

If not knowing is your concern... there is very little to be concerned about then.

[cln1921]

Leave the gays alone. They will have to answer for what they do,as will you. Your tactics didn't win one person to your side. You were looking for trouble, and you found it. How many people turned from what they were doing?I wonder how many people you turned away by calling them names. Would Jesus have done what you did the way you did it? It appears to me , this was all about you and had nothing to do with Jesus or the Gays and Lesbians.

[Preacher717]

Our ministry is two-fold. One side is to reconcile the lost to God. The other side is to be a witness against them on the day of judgement. The will be without excuse! Thy will not be able to say they did not know what God said about their sin. They will not be able to say they did not know what the consequence was for the rejection of God's Word.

[jofo817]

one can easily tell that SOME POLICE must be "secret" Devil Worshippers" or something because they HATE GOD

Just like Satanists do

[Bloodsport1]

Freedom of Speech is dead in America.  Sadly most people want a police state because they fear real responsibility. They want to be told what to listen to, what to watch. Having freedom is scary to most people these days.

[Preacher717]

I agree

[jl1611]

it amaze me to see so many fag policeman cater to the queers!i can tell you all kind of stories about police harassment on the street corner where we preach!

[defenderoftruth]

welcome to nazi america, where the gospel is banned. Here's the gustapo protecting the poor disgusting sodomites, they'll pay when they face God.

[Preacher717]

It will be terrifying to stand before a Holy and Just God and give account of everything you have done in your body whether it be good or bad and not have a Savior.

[elvissweet]

he's got nothing worse listening to anyway - a self righteous bigot!!!

[davidd121]

We need more people like you guys! I pray and support you guys!

[milton24]

YOu were asking for trouble! They should've arrested your ass!

[Preacher717]

You sound like a person that would enjoy a police state where the thought of free speech on public property would not be tolerated.

[Crosisborg]

You sound like a person who likes a theocracy where individual freedoms take a back seat to your religious dogma. You are a christian stalker.
