I love this kind of news story . John Sabbath, pastor of the Liv in Christ Christian Center of Ontario California cursed Ontario City Manager Greg Devereaux, Devereaux's wife and his family. Apparently the curse was about funding, or rather a lack of funding. The exact text of the curse was not published.
I did a quick internet search and found this authoritative assessment as to if a Christian can be cursed. I guess City Manager Greg Devereaux in not a Christian. Surely, a pastor would understand he does not have the authority to curse anyone. Surely pastor Sabbath he would also understand that heathen non-believers are fair game to curses. I wonder, do pastors learn how to curse while in seminary?
On a more sober note, the City of Ontario wants to limit free speech because of Sabbath’s inappropriate behavior. Unfortunately, for those who must sit through city council meetings, nutball outbursts area all part of the game. Attempts to limit free speech may seem like a good idea, but this road leads to the dark side.
Pastor Sabbath can be reached at jsabb@verizon.net. I sent him an email asking for the text of curse and his side of the story. I'll publish his response.
