CANADIAN PASTOR PERSECUTED FOR HIS FAITH

Canadian Pastor told by tribunal to renounce his Christian faith... The criminalization of Christianity in Canada.
The following is nothing less than governmental religious tyranny .... unfortunately, we are going to see more and more of this in supposedly civilized nations.

John 15:18
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Government to pastor: Renounce your faith ! Now banned from expressing moral opposition to homosexuality.

A Canadian human rights tribunal ordered a Christian pastor to renounce his faith and never again express moral opposition to homosexuality, according to a new report.
In a decision dated May 30 in the penalty phase of the quasi-judicial proceedings run by the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal, evangelical pastor Stephen Boisson was banned from expressing his biblical perspective of homosexuality and ordered to pay $5,000 for "damages for pain and suffering" as well as apologize to the activist who complained of being hurt.

"[The] government now believes that if it can't convince a Christian pastor that he's wrong, it will just order him to condemn himself?" Levant wrote on his blog. "Other than tribunals in Stalin's Soviet Union and Mao's China, where is this Orwellian 'order' considered to be justice?"
"This is like a Third World jail-house confession – where accused criminals are forced to sign false statements of guilt," Levant wrote. "We don’t even 'order' murderers to apologize to their victims' families. Because we know that a forced apology is meaningless. But not if your point is to degrade Christian pastors."

II Timothy 3:12 "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

Sin and the cross of Christ is very offensive to sinners, so they try and sweep it under the carpet to make it go away, as is being done in this case in Canada, but that does not change the fact that God has spoken in his Word and the only thing that will make sin go away is turning away from it or repentence by confessing your sin to Jesus Christ and asking for forgiveness.

Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination Leviticus 18:22.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
