Pastor Received 1,500 Death Threats Over CÖVÌD Resistance

by Bob Adelmann July 14, 2021

Pastor Brian Gibson, a graduate of Oral Roberts University and founder of HIS Church in Owensboro, Kentucky, has a target on his back. In an interview on Epoch TV’s Crossroads program last Thursday he said he’s being targeted “just for being a vocal proponent of the First Amendment … just for being someone who supported President Tɾυmρ, and someone who spoke out actively.”

He added:

Quote

I’ve received closed to 1,500 death threats. People broke into my home, kicked my gate down, hacked all of our accounts.
It’s amazing what they can do and how coordinated some of these intimidation rings can really be. I think I underestimated what that would really be until it happened to me.

He was forced to move when thugs started intimidating his children, but they found his new location and continued the harassment.
Gibson gained national attention and notoriety back in January for telling the truth about how CÖVÌD restrictions, mandates, and lσcкdσωns were greatly infringing upon precious rights guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution. He told NTD’s Focus Talk:

Quote

Whenever you watch the church being shut down, you watch the freedom of speech being taken away, you watch the censorship, you watch the ability to assemble together being threatened in the name of CÖVÌD.

He then added a phrase that rang all across the internet: “The Constitution has no CÖVÌD clause!”

He explained:

Quote

The first thing that’s listed there … is the freedom of religion. If it falls, and the First Amendment falls, the rest of the Constitution falls like dominos.

He noted the root cause of the collectivist cancer eating away at America’s foundations: “I think America needs to wake up on who has the mind of your children. Because, if you can shape the mind of a child, you can shape the mind of the future of our nation.” To restore the country’s culture, said Gibson, “We have to first start with the children.”

Gibson founded a group called Peaceably Gather where like-minded pastors could learn how to resist the CÖVÌD cancel culture, rapidly reaching more than 5,000 pastors with the message of resistance.

He sees the battle as “a fight for the heart and soul of America,” explaining on the Peaceably Gather website:

Quote

There is a constitutional crisis occurring right before our very eyes in America. Many of the governors of various states see the freedom of religion as something they can step over anytime they choose.

Quote

In this instance they’ve used public health and safety to silence the church. Opposing scientific opinions have been silenced, big tech is censoring conservative thought.
The last thing that can defeat this giant is the local church.

Quote

If we allow the forces that want to take away our first amendment rights to win in America we will be no different than ƈhıną, Iran, or Vietnam.
Our children and our grandchildren will be raised in a nation where the government controls every aspect of their lives. They will live in a society where Caesar not Christ is God. America would become like any other communistic nation on the earth — totalitarian, ungodly, and impoverished.

The media made much of a selfie Gibson took of himself and another man who later attended the January 6 Capitol incident. The media, said Gibson, tried to frame him by saying that he was “one of the masterminds of the Capitol siege. I wasn’t in the Capitol, but I think what they do when they create these hit pieces, they’re trying to build a narrative against you: No. 1, with the public, and No. 2, they want a legal case against you. The mainstream media works to try to spin the narrative, and to spin public opinion, before they’ll ever file charges.”

Gibson says the church in America has become soft and decadent and doesn’t want to give up its privileges by taking controversial stands:

Quote

In America we’ve become so comfortable. We don’t want to give up any of our comforts for real truth and real conviction anymore. And that’s why the church remained silent during the lσcкdσωns [with notable exceptions]. So that’s why so many pastors didn’t speak up and push back.

Gibson said believers and pastors have to begin to stand against the encroaching tyranny:

Quote

Stand up for what you believe in. Don’t be afraid. Continue to love your enemies, but stand your ground. I think that’s what’s really needed in America.
Stop being afraid of what somebody might do to you. The high cost of living is potentially dying. I don’t want to die. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t have martyr’s complex. I want to live a long life, be an old man, see all of my kids’ kids.

Quote

But if somebody has such a grip of fear around you that you can’t live or be who you are, what good is living?

Now, that would be something. A conservative Southern Evangelical pastor becoming a Catholic priest would be a miracle in itself. Most of them don't think we're Christians.

But his post is spot on.

I realize he was an Anglican priest [sic], albeit by way of Bob Jones University --- and you don't get any more Southern Evangelical than that! --- and I realize there might be various schools of thought about him among traditionalists, but don't forget Fr Dwight Longenecker. Here is his website:

Having been raised in a (more or less) Southern fundamentalist culture --- surrounded by it constantly, though not a part of it --- I can tell you, if you could harness some of that raw zeal for souls that many of these pastors have, and channel it into true Catholicism, well, you'd really have something. To say the least.

Death threats are probably coming from novus Ordo deadbeats.
