ARIZONA MAN SENTENCED TO JAIL TERM FOR HOME BIBLE STUDY
SPECIAL GUEST: Carl Gallups: Pastor, Author, and Christian Media Icon Defends American’s Rights in this breaking story
TOPIC: Hosting a Bible Study at home? You may have jail time to look forward to.
Carl Gallups is the person we need to look to when it comes to exposing this shocking and rather threatening story regarding one of this country’s most recent attacks on religious freedom of expression, wherein the city of Phoenix shut down a home bible study, and its host facing a jail term.
Despite this story sounding almost unbelievable and ridiculous, it is as true as the day is long. Christians study the Bible to help escape the eternal flames of Hell. However, the City Prosecutor in Phoenix, AZ has her own idea when it comes to protecting Christians from the flames.
In a recent article posted on the Fox News website, The City Prosecutor for Phoenix that the violations have nothing to do with religious freedom — and everything to do with public safety: “It came down to zoning and proper permitting,” said Vicki Hill, the chief assistant city prosecutor. “Any time you are holding a gathering of people continuously as he does — we have concerns about people being able to exit the facility properly in case there is a fire — and that’s really all this comes down to.”
Sorry Ms. Hill, but we are holding Bible Studies for exactly that reason, to stay out of the eternal fires of Hell. Tell me, can it get any stranger? Carl Gallups has the answer to this seemingly redundant question.
This is truly a story that has far reaching implications for all Americans who hold religious beliefs and expect that the founding principal of this nation, the freedom of religion, be respected. Michael Salman, an ordained pastor with the Church of God in Christ and holds a Biblical degree from Western Theological Seminary was found guilty in the City of Phoenix Court of 67 code violations. He was sentenced to 60 days in jail along with three years’ probation and a $12,180 fine.
Michael Salman could be jailed as early as next week unless the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals grants an emergency injunction. Salman was quoted in several news stories about this situation telling reporters that “They’re cracking down on religious activities and religious use." “They’re attacking what I as a Christian do in the privacy of my home.” Carl Gallups can clarify these intertwined religious and civil freedoms for your audiences as this story has deep implications across our nation.
“If I had people coming to my home on a regular basis for poker night or Monday Night Football, it would be permitted,” Salman said. “But when someone says to us we are not allowed to gather because of religious purposes – that is when you have discrimination.”
Do not miss this opportunity to have an in-depth investigation of this developing story for your program audiences. This is a story you can help place in the minds of Americans nationwide.
On July 9, Michael Salman, the pastor from Phoenix who was fined and sentenced to jail for holding Bible studies in his home, started his 60-day jail sentence at 10 a.m. Salman asked for prayers as he left his wife and six kids to report to Maricopa County Jail.
