Out of Jail…
Posted on March 19, 2010 by Shawn David Holes
Yesterday (March 18th) I was arrested while preaching the Gospel in downtown Glasgow Scotland. I spent a horrible night in jail and all I can say is that it was just miserable. Too many details from this specific incident occured for me to list here. I will say however that what it came down to was that two people were supposedly offended when I said that homosexuality is a sin against Jesus, therefore the arrest. I was given two options:
1- plead guilty to some really trumped up charges and possibly pay a small fine of hopefully only 50 pounds or so and go home by Monday as planned or
2- plead not guilty and have to spend up to 8 weks waiting for the trial NOT being allowed to leave the country with no guarantee of winning the case.
I chose option number one. Big bummer though. The fine was 1000 pounds. Thats 1600 US dollars. The Christian men I am here with along with ten or so Christians from the area that we have never met who heard about this crazy arrest and false charges all pitched in and paid the fine for us!
So thank you for your prayers and please know how dearly we love you all. I will keep you posted soon with video and photos from this outreach when I return, Lord willing. May the Lord bless you.
Shawn and family
Please take the time to thank God for faithful guys like Shawn and his team. They truly magnify and glorify the Lord.
God can forgive you of homophobia if you will repent and turn from this fear. You have pled guilty and paid a hefty fine so now turn to God and finalize the deliverance.
Charles – how is warning against sin a ‘phobia’? How do you know that God loves homosexual acts? Are you staking your own eternal destiny on that?
He is not homophobic at all. All he was doing, by the sound of this report, is telling the TRUTH according to God.. God dislikes their ACTIONS not them as a person.. there is a difference..
Shawn, Praise God for you!!
If you were innocent of the charge you should have pleaded not guilty. Pleading guilty means you acknowledge that you have committed a crime. To plead guilty is telling lies. Bringing dishonour to the Lord.
Could you tell me what the charges actually were, as I am confused given that telling people you think being gay is a sin isn’t actually a crime in the UK.
god doesnt exist. stop believing in fairytales you arrogant christians. accept the fact that everyone dies and recycles back into the environment. There is nothing else to our existence.
God is love. Shawn is hate. He came to SDSU in Brookings, SD and was full of hatred for others. He will be surprised when he finally meets his maker. This man in no instrument of the Lord, he is an instrument of hatred and therefore of evil. I strongly suggest he and his followers familiarize themselves with Matthew 7:5.
Ambrosius, I encourage you to review Matthew 7:21-23
This man would have you believe that he is a saint or a martyr, but he and his followers have made a mockery of God’s Word. Instead of spreading the love of God, they chose to cast judgment… and this was their tool for saving souls. Ironically, they spent all of their time arguing with LOVING Christians, and they did not save one single person. They made a broad and unjust generalization of Winthrop’s students and have, in turn, distorted the spirit of Christianity. I support your devotion to God, but if saving people is truly your objective… speak of God’s Love and not hate of sinners. I’m incredibly embarrassed for you guys.
