Message not welcome while Obama accepts peace prize
A Christian minister who has been arrested twice previously in Oslo for talking about Jesus in public now has been chased from the city center by police officers with the threat of yet another arrest if he returns, according to a lawyer who is working on his case.
Joel Thornton of the International Human Rights Group told WND today that Larry Keffer, who works through the Biblical Research Center in Tampa, Fla., was among a team of Christians trying to proclaim the message of Christ during the recent visit to the city by President Obama.
Obama was in Oslo to accept a Nobel Peace Prize for which he was nominated days after he took office in the United States. Obama admitted he had few accomplishments and used his speech to defend the use of war just nine days after ordering 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.
Keffer, whose previous arrests came while he was working with Norwegian evangelist Petar Keseljevic and whose cases still are being challenged, was working with other American evangelists, including Ruben Israel, this week in Oslo.
Thornton reported the evangelists arrived with banners in front of the Nobel commission offices to proclaim the Gospel message before, during and after the Nobel presentation to Obama.

It's a crazy world time for the good guys to push back !
ReplyDeleteGod disciplines those He loves, for the good (1 Pet 4:17-19). True followers of Christ need have no fear of God's wrath. It is being "stored up", and is about to be directed toward those who reject God's revelation of Himself.
ReplyDeleteiF this had happened to Mulims or Hindu's or Jews there would be an outrage... It's time to stand up for our positions and freedoms too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but seeing the reactions on the faces I saw in the film, these guys were being obtuse and ignorant. They were saying nothing of substance and pushing themselves on others. They were not spreading any certain message other than "look at ME". The people were there for a different purpose, and were being interrupted.
ReplyDeleteThat's not Christian.
Christians have more leverage than they think ! What if we collectively as Christians all stop paying our tax's ?
ReplyDelete1:39 I think you have them confused with the other group that was there.
ReplyDelete314, I disagree with the intentions of the "group that was there", too. but they had their purpose, and they were being rudely interrupted.

ReplyDeleteWhose image is on the money?
Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and give unto the Father that which is the Father's.
If you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but be proud of your wounds and praise God for your strength.
