Pastor threatened after sexual orientation protection vote ( Pastor used to be Chicago Bear in NFL )

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Fairview Baptist Church secretary Sue Sangster checks voicemail messages as soon as she gets to work in the morning. She was frightened by what she heard Wednesday, angry and threatening rhetoric.

Caller: "I have committed homicide more than one time and in more than one state and yet have not been caught or charged."

This message was left at 4:12 A.M.

it was followed by several more.

Caller: "I suggest you listen to this message clearly. A (muffled - sounds like 'bomb') has been placed on your property in the building, as well as some visitors will be visiting pastor Blair at his residence. This is just to let you know. Thank you. Detonate it, Detonate."

These messages were left just one day after pastor Paul Blair took a stance on a change in Oklahoma City's employment policy regarding sexual orientation.

"It was beyond an expression of anger. I mean this was over the top, clearly a potential act of domestic terrorism threats," Blair said.

The next call was aimed at his wife.

Caller: "I wanna f*** his wife. I'm gonna f*** Pastor Blair's wife.

"When they start threatening people and the building, it's very scary," Sangster said.

In some of the messages the caller left his number, so we called back that number.

We got a busy signal.

The caller continued what sounds like a psychotic rant until after 2 p.m.

Caller: "It is highly recommended that you have somebody to answer the phone of your church, especially the dumb a** Pastor Blair. It is recommend that a man answer the phone at your f******* establishment. I will be seeing you soon!"

A total of 10 messages were left.

Some of the calls were so violent we could not air them.

"We are just praying this gentlemen gets peace in his life because obviously that's what's lacking," Sangster said.

Oklahoma City Police are investigating the matter.

Pastor Blair said they have a security team and surveillance cameras all around the church.
