You&#8217;ll read the same rhetoric and self-justification if you got a reply from the city of Phoenix&#8217;s mayor \u2013 like I received (see copy below) &#8212; justification for arresting a father of 6 for praying and praising God, the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, on his own property. Well, don&#8217;t believe everything you read from anti-Christs and pretend Christians who control many offices locally, statewide and in the US Government today. Please, listen to this video below from \u201cFox and Friends\u201d with Christian advocate, John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute, &lt; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rutherford.org\/ \" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.rutherford.org\/ <\/a>&gt; a highly respected attorney and organization, who has been defending religious rights for many long years and doesn&#8217;t get involved in cases that are not valid. This \u201cFox and Friends\u201d interview with Susanne Salman, while her husband sits in a Phoenix jail, and the Rutherford attorney is very good. So, may I remind you, just because someone writes a comment on a blog or the mayor of a city writes an email, don&#8217;t just jump to conclusions and believe Phoenix\u2019s mayor who admits he defends \u201cmulticulturalism,\u201d \u201cdiversity\u201d and \u201cIslam\u201d in Phoenix. If you bothered to email him, then you too likely got that response from him and from one of the council people. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Well, did you expect them to roll over and confess<\/span>, \u201cGee, Mr. &amp; Mrs. Christian American, you were right, we were wrong to have thrown Pastor Salman in jail and leave his 6 children without a dad while he does his time. We apologize and have released Pastor Salman and forgiven his $12K fines.\u201d <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">I think not<\/span>! The city of Phoenix has every reason in the world to justify themselves, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">but will God<\/span>? <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">That is the question they will have to face at the White Throne Judgment<\/span>! Amen? Amen! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #99284c;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Remember this, that David, even after he was anointed by Samuel to be King of Israel and sit on the throne in Jerusalem, David who was the rightful heir to the King&#8217;s Throne, not Saul, he knew better than to touch God&#8217;s Anointed and waited upon God to remove Saul and put him, David, on the Throne. Now if Pastor Salman is God&#8217;s anointed pastor and messenger of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, then all those who come against him are in grievous error and in great trouble, so be careful, my friends, before condemning this man and siding with evil doers in office today. Remember, my friends, you are only one accusation away from real serious issues with the anti-Christ government we have in charge in many places in the USA today, from the school house to the White House, local and national and international governments.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #99284c;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Read these scriptures: [Proverbs 17:15] He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"color: #99284c;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Read: 1 Samuel 16:13-16 and continue on to understand how wrong it is to \u201cto touch the Lord&#8217;s anointed.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\"><span style=\"color: #99284c;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">We are to fear God&#8217;s Laws, not man&#8217;s.

I have heard many passionate voices on the home\/church life safety issue and I appreciate your thoughts and advocacy and take all communication from the public very seriously.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As a Christian and as Mayor of Phoenix, I cherish the diversity of religion that we have in this city whether that be Christians, Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Sikhs and all other faiths. Our city cherishes the First Amendment which requires the city to not discriminate against any expression of faith but also ensures that one church is not treated differently than any other.<\/p>\n<p>The city\u2019s sole concern in this matter is protecting life safety where the public assembles. In the case of Harvest Christian Fellowship Community Church, the church never asked for nor received an appropriate building permit. The permit would require an inspection of the building to ensure it complies with life safety requirements. This is the same requirement as every other church in our city.<\/p>\n<p>The Phoenix City Prosecutor has briefed me on this issue and explained to me that Harvest Christian Fellowship Community Church, which has sought church status for tax exemption purposes, held services twice a week with gatherings of up to 80 people. From 2006 to 2010, Harvest Fellowship continued having services on the property, even though Pastor Michael Salman, owner of the property, was notified by the city to comply with building codes for life safety of those who attend; he refused. In 2010, a municipal court judge found Mr. Salman to be in violation of 96 Phoenix City Code violations, including building, fire, and zoning codes. Mr. Salman refused to comply with the codes, refused to follow the court\u2019s order and was subsequently convicted of 67 misdemeanors. He was placed on probation for three years and ordered to obey the law, to pay fines and surcharges and to spend 60 days in jail. He continued to refuse to allow a life safety inspection. An Arizona Superior Court judge affirmed his convictions and sentence; the State Court of Appeals also denied him relief. The United States District Court denied Mr. Salman&#8217;s request to intervene.<\/p>\n<p>As mayor, I will always do my best to ensure our city protects the first amendment rights of everyone. By the same token, I will also ensure life safety protections are appropriately enforced.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this letter provides you a better understanding of the facts surrounding this matter. I look forward to hearing any additional thoughts, comments or ideas you have about this issue or any other issue facing our city.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you,<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mayor Greg Stanton<\/span><\/span><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n_______________________________________________<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">REPLY FROM ONE COUNCIL PERSON IN PHOENIX<br \/>\nRe: Stop the persecution of a Christian Pastor, His Wife and Six Children!<br \/>\nFrom: &#8220;council.district.1@phoenix.gov&#8221;

recent anti-Christian acts and hostile legislation to God\u2019s Agenda and His Will for the world.\u00a0 Hopefully, unbelievers will read these along with the salvation message of Jesus Christ as written in the Gospel of John, Chapter 3, according to the King James Bible, and be saved.\u00a0 A missionary must go into the unbelievers\u2019 territory to reach them.\u00a0 Her mission is to Proclaim Warning to a Nation that has forgotten their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the only Truth, the Life, and the only Way to the One God the Father.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><em><strong>Read more:

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
