Brazilians Catlickers Persecute Christians -
08-18-2007, 12:45 AM
Two of Brazil evangelical leaders jailed
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=287456
Saturday Aug 18 10:33 AEST
A judge in Miami has sentenced two of Brazil's best-known evangelical church leaders to 10 months confinement for using a Bible and their child's backpack to smuggle cash into the United States.
Estevam Hernandes and Sonia Moraes Hernandes, the husband-and-wife founders of the Reborn in Christ Church, pleaded guilty in exchange for leniency in sentencing to charges of smuggling more than $US56,000 ($A70,000) into a Miami airport.
"They were both given 10-month sentences split between house arrest and jail time," said a law clerk for Federico Morena, chief judge of the Florida Southern District Court.
Morena ordered Estevam Hernandes to begin serving his five months in jail on Monday, while his wife remains under house arrest in Miami, where the couple have children. After five months, the two will switch.
The couple's arrest in Miami last January fanned concerns about fraud at fast-growing evangelical churches in Brazil, the world's most-populous Catholic nation.
While most of Brazil's 185 million people still describe themselves as Catholic, evangelical and neo-evangelical churches have attracted some 26 million followers, or 15 per cent of the population, in recent decades.
The churches raise millions in revenue from their mostly poor followers via television programs and church services.
The Hernandes couple are the wealthy owners of a network of radio and television stations and more than 1,100 churches.
Prosecutors say they also have significant real estate holdings, including a luxury apartment in Miami.

or should the thread title instead read "Brazilians revealed bums?". just a thought.

I'm sure a moderator will delete this poorly-named thread very soon. As for the article, I'll put it in the "Persecution of Chrsitians: th evidence file" thread.
Disagree? By failing to register and debate me, you prove that liberals are factless frauds who only persuade through intimidation. To prove otherwise, debate me!

I fixed the thread title, Jeb. I'm praying for that poor family. I know they were aware of the risks of trying to spread the Gospel in a Catlicker-run Satanic cesspool like Brazil, but it still weighs heavy on my heart to see them treated this way.

True, but the GODLY Pastor Billy-Reuben gets all his opinions directly from JESUS!
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Don't tell me you believe the liberal mainstream media's twisted view that this Godly family somehow deserves their persecution.

Yet again I stand corrected , and rightly so. All I could think about was a funny catchline, while allowing the TRUE HORROR OF CHRISTIANS BEING PERSECUTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO PASS ME BY WITHOUT COMMENT. I cant apologise enough (again) for my thoughtlessness, and for thinking anything was a matter of MY OPINION when it can never be anything but a matter of faith and obedience. I will take further steps to ensure that personal points of view will have no place in my life ever again. Thankyou for putting me back on the straight and narrow path, Pastor.
