Any comments on how the Pastor handled the situation?
I saw the video, before I saw a background story on this. However, it still hasn't changed my mind, that if the officials didn't have a warrant, and per their own regulations should not be disturbing an ongoing service. Then clearly the Pastor was within his right to ask them to leave. I'm just curious if the officials were only doing an inspection, why did it take what looked like 3 officials & 3 police officers?

It is a sign of the times brother.

The devil at work, of course the devil does not want us to celebrate Easter, it is one of the last things he wants.

The pastor did get angry and in reflection would think maybe he had said things he shouldn't.

The wise as servant and harmless as a dove went out of the window. These are not ordinary times, these are latter day times.

Shalom
 
The video has been pulled from viewing, another sign of the times. Keep the masses in ignorance and fear.
 
Pastor Pawlowski is correct. I understand the authorities have a job to do. If they received a complaint or were invited in, they can look around. Otherwise, they require a warrant to enter the premises unannounced. The Pastor and the Calgary City Police have tangled previously.

The churches here in Nova Scotia (I live in a small town) have been limited in terms of numbers in attendance with the church services being shut down altogether for a time. While not all churches can, my pastor held online services broadcast from her home during that time. For the past few months, the services were online live from the church with groups and singles wearing masks sitting six feet apart from each other. While it has killed the choir and the issuing of songbooks, we have a pianist and can still clap to recorded music. The Pastor and Executive Committee are mindful of legal requirements. A single justified complaint can close down weekly in-person services until lifted and fines starting at $1,000 can be issued.

Does it stop church services and worshipers from interacting? You work with what you have trusting in God to make it work Think back to the days of the Early Church. They were free to worship within a given set of rules. Things changed when Nero needed a scapegoat for his setting the fire of Rome. Some countries today are like that. They ignore it if it's not considered a threat to their ideals. A few zealots can and will make the life of a believer miserable given the chance. Cheers

Thanks for sharing Brother!
 
Something is not right, like I have stated on more than one occasion in my "spirit" that regenerated one. It is like that "spirit" is moving in a direction that furthering it from my original being and that original being is fading away slowly but becoming a distance from whom I am in "Christ" heading to that final destination that is approved of GOD the Father. To that Predestinated being, which is still a Mystery, yet unknown but known and revealed in the Presence of the "SON of The Almighty GOD". way beyond expectations that could ever be.

For events are taken place that I have seen before, and it is weird.
"Churches and Civil laws" are "at odds" but yet working together it is more than the role of the play of the "Good Cop & Bad Cop" roles, to accomplish a Designated plan.
Liken to this: Government Covid is Bad, we must take Precautions, limited our associations, The Church: There is no problem, we don't have to go to such extremes, the Government has gone to far, making something more than what it is. The Church words of defense,: God told us to go to Church every Sunday or commanded us to go to Church no matter what, every week, and every designated religious holiday determine by the church. no matter what the Government saids, no matter what the conditions are. The Real confusion is here in the United States of America, arguments is concerning the "Constitution" of the USA. and not the Command of GOD. For the issue is Not the defining a law of "the separation of the law of "State and Religion" in which there is no such Law. But how the "Constitution is define in such a case we find ourselves in this hour.

Now since the churches believes that the Government is exaggerating Covid 19 and there is no need for mask or separating in such degrees, Why are there a host of Pastors and Ministers and other religious Leaders commanding us on Social Medias to get a FDA unapproved but an "EUA" approved Vaccination!

And at the same time The Church is saying do not trust the Government! The Church must be either be "Cold or HOT" this Luke warm stuff cause confusion. A house divide against it self Cannot Stand" Why the church is not demanding and Fighting to Get us A "FDA" approved Vaccination with a loud voice! With reparations if the Vaccinations causes harmful side effects. For the Pharmaceutical companies and their investors are becoming Billionaires and Millionaires with no risks whatsoever. These are the ones in "High Places"! Just maybe they have found another GOLD"Mine: outside of the "Mine" of "The Prescriptions for The Elderly" and now they have found "The Mother Load" Everyone in the entire world must Prescribe! The Mother LOAD! The Greedy have become "Gluttonous"!:confused: and maybe With the after mass, just maybe, the wealth of side effects. How can we loose, is their drawing card to the must admirable investors.:neutral:

Now if this is to much, information please Moderators, please delete post, For you are "The Watchmen on the Wall" For i do not want the "Gestapo" knocking at my door!

For to much information or enlightenment will get you killed:worried: And I have not come to the Sanctification of "Martyrdom" for i believe I am not greater than Peter. I have not yet arrived. But still speak in Fear and trembling. A unworthy vessel. So please as they lower Apostle Paul, out the back window, consider me. and faint not!
 
Yes, I was able to view that Fox link. The police were in the wrong, it was the beginning of gestapo tactics we will see more of. Did you notice they made the speaker of the police a woman to make it seem less threatening, but about a half dozen large men to back up whatever she does. That reeks of manipulation. The problems are still not rampant, but... its being tested here and there to see how much resistance there is to it. It will get much worse. As to covid, the science doesnt support it when a lot of doctors that dont agree with proper way of dealing with it, get cancelled from speaking out (seen the videos) and the supposed experts keep changing what they say about it regularly. The disease is real, but its not any worse than the flu which still kills more every year (except during covid of course, when flu death rates suddenly go down, because they are calling it covid even when its not the cause of death)
 
Thought the pastor behaved appallingly.

There is a long history of God's servants being pulled up before the law. See Jesus before Pilate and Herod, Peter before the rulers of Jerusalem in Acts 4, and again in Acts 12, Paul in Philippi, again in Caesarea and Rome. See how they addressed their accusers. Compare and contrast.
