There is no freedom of religion in the city of Phoenix as local bureaucratic zoning codes supersede the US constitution (see Article 1) . Pastor Michael Salman is now serving a 60 day jail term and will likely pay thousands of dollars in fines for having as many as 15 people at his home for a bible study. He also shockingly hosted an Easter event at his home with 20 people in attendance. Fortunately, the city of Phoenix has put a stop to the insanity.
The Lord warned us that we would be persecuted for His name sake. Where is the outrage of pastors and churches in Phoenix? I hold bible studies in homes every week at what point will it become illegal to do this? What about you? How long will it be before you are not able to study the word of God in your home with your family and friends?
Don’t expect protection from the constitution, people are not standing up against what is happening and home bible studies are being shut down in California, Utah and now Arizona and it will only get worse. The court system will not even consider hearing Pastor Salman’s case. I say again we have lost the freedom of religion in the city of Phoenix.
