The following is an excerpt from the guest post of the Seismic Shock blog.
At 10am on Sunday 29th November 2009, I received a visit from two policemen regarding my activities in running the Seismic Shock blog. (Does exposing a vicar’s associations with extremists make me a criminal?, I wondered initially). A sergeant from the Horsforth Police related to me that he had received complaints via Surrey Police from Rev Sizer and from Dr Anthony McRoy – a lecturer at the Wales Evangelical School of Theology – who both objected to being associated with terrorists and Holocaust deniers.
(Context: Sizer has associated with some very nasty terrorists and Holocaust deniers; McRoy has delivered a paper at a Khomeinist theological conference in Iran comparing Hezbollah’s struggle against Israel via suicide bombing with the Christian’s struggle against sin via the atoning death of Jesus, and describes the world’s most prominent Holocaust denier as an “intelligent, humble, charismatic, and charming” man who “gives quick, extensive and intelligent answers to any question, mixed with genial humour”).

Your use of punctuation makes you a criminal. ugh.

As I read the New Testament , if a Christian is offended by something another Christian says then he goes personally to confront that person. if there is no agreement he takes with him a second person and speaks face to face. Perhaps Drs Sizer and McRoy have not read that part? Nowhere does it say ‘if someone offends you, report them to the Roman authorities (police)’
