NEVER allow yourself to be convinced that any justice system that releases (again) a high-risk sex offender with the warning that they're likely to offend again, but holds a preacher of the gospel captive in the same prison, is for religious freedom. @jkenney#FreeJamesCoates
“The Edmonton Police Service has reasonable grounds to believe he will commit another sexual offense against someone under the age of 16 while in the community,” globalnews.ca/news/7669801/e…
While this man is now free, Pastor James Coates sits behind bars in the same prison for not giving up his Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, well, freedoms. @jkenney#FreeJamesCoates
Pastor James sits in prison because he is unwilling, nay, unable to go against his convictions regarding Biblical truth for a pastor to lead his church. @jkenney#FreeJamesCoates
And, in spite of this, @jkenney, defended this arrest in a Facebook post where he lied to his voters about being in support of religious freedom. #FreeJamesCoates
The man's blatant arrogance and hypocrisy are astounding. He claims to be for religious freedom while a pastor in his province is in prison for obeying scripture. He claims to be a Christian while not demanding the release of #FreeJamesCoates.
Now, here's the next question you may have, has @jkenney made any statement, whatsoever, regarding sex offenders being released from the same prison? No. #FreeJamesCoates
@jkenney will tell you with a straight face that his measures are for health and safety while not saying ONE SINGLE THING publicly about high-risk sex offenders being released in his province, or the countless babies being murdered in the womb in his province. #FreeJamesCoates
You see, like all the NDP & Liberal politicians that @jkenney decries constantly, he is just like them - not willing to stand for what is right at the cost of his own political career.
This is where it becomes so clear as to why the church is essential; when politicians fail to uphold the very freedoms they promised the people who voted them in and crumble to public pressure that goes against their own weak conscience. @jkenney#FreeJamesCoates
The world needs the church! This is not the time for the church to cave to Ceasar's demands, but this is the time for the church to proclaim the sovereignty of Christ, Lord of HIS church. @jkenney#FreeJamesCoates
Do not let fools define the church, worship, or "love your neighbor!" Pastors, proclaim the Word, open your doors, and "love your neighbor" the way the Scriptures command! @jkenney#FreeJamesCoates

FYI: Here in Alberta, @jkenney has made it ILLEGAL, since Dec. 8/20, to have anyone in your own home from outside your household. That's almost 3 months of people *not* getting together with their parents, children, siblings, friends, etc... /1
Many of these people have been working from home, so they don't have the opportunity to socialize at work. Many people are lonely, depressed, anxious, they don't know when this will all end, because folks like @jkenney keep moving the 'goal posts'... /2
regarding what and where we're going with his inane mandates. People are desperate, and @jkenney spews his 'love your neighbor' rhetoric while destroying people's lives. Let me be very clear, what Pastor James Coates was doing, and many others continue to do... /3
