You are wrong. Scripture is clear, you have to obey the authority. The authority did not stop you from worship the Father. They stop the gathering for health reasons. Because of their disobedience to the Father, they brought judgement on themselves. Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim. Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves. Here is your second witness: Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, and third witness: 1Pe 2:13 Be subject to every institution of man because of the Master, whether to the sovereign as supreme, 1Pe 2:14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of doers of evil, and a praise for those who do good. 1Pe 2:15 Because such is the desire of Elohim, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men,

@AntiCap Atheist Christians obey Romans 13 when the government is in its lawful jurisdiction to uphold righteousness, punishing evil doers and rewarding those who do good. The covid bylaws interfere with Gods command for us to meet publicly for worship. Biblically, government was introduced to protect the God given rights of humans when there was murder of theft done to a human. When government infringes upon those rights we have the right to resist and make inquiry about their democratic duties, their job is to protect our rights and not take them away in the name of "safety".
@AntiCap Atheist Just because a government like Rome was barbaric, Romans 13 still commands us to obey government to a certain point (pay taxes, honor the king), but there were areas where Christians clearly disobeyed government, like in refusing to offer incense to the Emperor. This does not contradict the command in chapter 13. We are to obey government and live peaceably with all until their laws dictate our worship or force us to do something sinful. (See Daniel 3) (Acts 4)
@AntiCap Atheist From the very early times, Christians had to take definitive positions against oppressive and unlawful actions by governments/authorities, and stood for their faith in obedience to God's word. People should educate themselves before feeling compelled to comment on something.
@AntiCap Atheist Here I am a Follower of Christ, missionary and pastor's kid and I agree with "the atheist " completely on this issue. I'm embarrassed my fellow Christians' insistence that covid restrictions are persecution.... It's really deflating
@AntiCap Atheist Life comes from life. It has never been observed that life comes from dead matter. So it is only logical to conclude that the Eternal Absolute (=God) has life itself. If you believe that live comes from dead matter, the burden of proof is on your side.

I have heard and preached from Romans 13 , Titus and 1 Peter and you are wrong in how you are reading it. When is the line crossed from our “authorities” and we stand against them.? It is also biblical (Samuel, Acts etc) that we practice civil disobedience when it is warranted and frankly this “pandemic” has been wildly overblown and people are living their lives in abject fear! I am not naive to say hat COVID isn’t serious, but the numbers speak for themselves.
@@darknappster7822 You don't get it, we can only disobey the authorities if it is against Torah. If people live in fear their relationship with their Maker is not good. Even if things seem wrong to you, if our Father says obey, you better obey. I don't know, but you probably know that the Yahudim/Jews were exiled to Babylon. A pagan nation with a pagan ruler. Yahuah said obey the authority and if they don't....: Jer 27:6 ‘And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar the sovereign of Baḇel, My servant. And the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him. Jer 27:7 ‘And all nations shall serve him and his son and his son’s son, until the time of his land comes. And then many nations and great sovereigns shall make him serve them. Jer 27:8 ‘And it shall be, the nation and reign that do not serve Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar the sovereign of Baḇel, and the one that does not put its neck under the yoke of the sovereign of Baḇel, that nation I shall punish,’ declares יהוה, ‘with the sword, and the scarcity of food, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand. Jer 27:9 ‘So do not listen to your prophets, or to your diviners, or to your dreamers, or to your observers of clouds, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “Do not serve the sovereign of Baḇel.” Do not listen to your pastors telling you to disobey the authority. If you read Daniel 6, you will also learn that Daniel had to and did obey King Darius. But then the govenors weren't happy that the King blessed Daniel the way he did and wanted to get Daniel to fail. But they knew he would not disobey the king, but he will disobey if it goes against His Elohim. Dan 6:4 Then the governors and viceroys sought to find occasion against Dani’ĕl concerning the reign. But they were unable to find occasion or corruption, because he was steadfast, and no negligence or corruption was found in him. Dan 6:5 Then these men said, “We shall not find any occasion against this Dani’ĕl unless we find it against him concerning the law of his Elah.” And this Daniel disobeyed, because it was against Yahuah's Torah: Dan 6:7 “All the governors of the reign, the nobles and viceroys, the counsellors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal decree and to make a strong interdict, that whoever petitions any elah or man for thirty days, except you, O sovereign, is thrown into the den of lions. And he was thrown in with the lions. And Yahuah protected him. This is the word of Yahuah, you decide if you want to bring judgement on to yourselves: Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim. Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves.

The only time we may disobey the authority, is when we are expected to disobey His Word. Like in Daniel, when they tried to trick Him to bow to the king. He refused rightly and our Father protected Him. Same with Mordekai when He was expected to bow down to Haman. Again the Father protected. But otherwise we obey the govenrment, because we are commanded to. No pastor can say any different, if they do, they are wrong. Just as they are wrong with the Father and Son's Sacred names, with the Sabbath, with Christmas and Easter, with eating of unclean foods. Our Father does not change, but Christianity changes with the time. Mal 3:6 “For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to an end. Shalom

God won today. He won on the cross. He won when he resurrected from death. And he wins when this world passes away. He always wins because he is The Lord God.
I'm in Edmonton and got into several arguments on the Edmonton Journal article's comment section. Most people think our right to worship doesn't trump the Government's right to take our rights away. Also, "if you believe in God shouldn't life be more sacred than getting together in your clubhouse?" Sigh. We've fallen so far from the truth. But for Nations that know the truth and willfully turn from it the Lord will give them a degenerate mind. And we can sure see that now. Men can be women. Women can be men. Men can be dogs, elves, horses, etc etc. Literally insane demon doctrines. Pray for Canada and all God's people.

Covid - God brings good, out of all things meant for evil, for us all. We now have Christians, who cannot find good solid word churches, now can have church on-line, and not just a recorded sermon, but actually participate. Pastors are aware more now of the isolation some us are suffering.
I am an Albertan and I just made an important video that actually unpacks what our Canadian rights and freedoms are. I am really hoping that Canadians begin engaging in a larger conversation that NEEDS to happen in our Nation right now. It is a complicated issue, but regardless of how a person sees Pastor James' conduct, our Rights and Freedoms are being violated. At the VERY LEAST - we need to have an open dialog.

Lord set us all free to worship you, Walmart’s, Costco’s big box stores here in Canada are crowded, maybe we need to do “Church” there They have 200+ crowds everyday there

I could “believe” hurting or abandoning someone is “protecting” them, does not make it true. Abandoning the flock in a hard time is cowardly and not “protecting” them. Edit: My meaning here is that those who shrink to livestream “services” are not living a call worthy of the one who gave His life in our place.
Before COVID, did Christian Pastors ensure their churches met local Building Codes, charity tax receipt laws, etc.? Why? Does the Bible allow us to ignore or reinterpret laws we don't like? Bible says: Honour, pay taxes, and do not resist your righteous Kings and other higher powers; for God raised up and gave authority to them as the ordained ministers of God. If man’s law is unavoidably contrary to God’s Law, openly and publicly obey God’s Laws; and rejoice in any unjust persecution or martyrdom that you suffer for the greater glory of God. Instead of defiance, Pastor & congregation need to innovate how to ensure compliance, yet find loop holes or alternatives so that great exploints for God can still be accomplished, the Gospel preached, and the flock tended. See: Gen 9:5-6, Dan 2:21, Dan 2:37-38, Dan 4:17, Isaiah 45:1, Mat 17:24-27, Mat 22:20-21, Mar 12:13-17, Luk 16:13, Luk 20:25, John 19:11, Act 5:27-29, 40-42; Rom 2:13, Rom 13:1-14, Eph 5:21, Eph 6:1, Tit 3:1, Heb 13:17 Jas 1:25, 1Pe 1:14, 1Pe 2:13-18, 1Jo 3:4, 1 Tim 2:2.

Praying for all you have asked! I am sharing Pastor Coates' messages with many! Be bold in the TRUTH, yet humble. I am in the states, and learned of his jailing from our pastor, I looked him up and watched Pastor Coates sermon: "Feb 14, 2021 (Romans 13:1-4) "Directing Government to its Duty" And was brought to tears painful/yet beautiful as these trying times help us see the TRUTH of the gospel, my words can't do it justice, praying that everyone will look it up and listen to it. Our country and our children need us to and who knows, Jesus may come today!
Were there not restrictions put on gathering together? Social distancing, masks and limited numbers? Simple rules to follow, and still respect the law of the land without pushing the envelope. There's more to the story than you have revealed in your video.
15% capacity. Absolute nonsense. Read the statement on their church website. A year into “2 weeks to flatten the curve” we know this virus affects the elderly and those with 2-3 co-morbidities. 99.8% survival rate. Studies prove masks not only don’t work for viruses, they can make you more vulnerable to catching it. As the leader of his flock, he looked at the data and made a decision. The government has no business telling a church leader how to lead. Coates is following God, not man.
Yep. Most churches there are following the restrictions and still assembling. He chose to disobey the law and do what he wanted instead. There are consequences for that.
@@bethbaumann9669 I’m sorry but why is that funny? Our health officer, who is an unelected official, makes every decision. Our case numbers are .001% of the population.... maybe you like living without seeing your friends, family, etc. But most don’t. If you’re that scared of the virus, stay home. You won’t ever get sick and you won’t ever die! The government can be your nanny but I’d rather make my own decisions. Thanks.
10, 15 or 20 years? It's right on our doorstep here in America. They just passed the 'Equality Act' on the House floor today, which will have a chilling effect on churches and Christian organizations. It still has to pass the Senate.
Faithfulness to the Lord and His Word always takes precedence over the orders of a secular bureaucrat. Christians and Christ's church must obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29).
Praying for the true church that we would be purified during this time., that we return to the old paths and the old ways. Return to the preaching of the Cross not just for Salvation but for the believer. The pathway to power is through the Cross. And the world needs a Church that knows the power of God in their midst. So many are hopeless and in despair. Many sadly choose to end it. God bless this pastor and his family. God bless Pastor Mc Arthur and all who live Godly in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
I live in Victoria Australia and the first thing that was shut out was going into schools with non denominational teachings as soon as Labor premier got in instantly stopped. Like all over the WORLD they are wanting to get rid of all Churches/Christians, try as they will, they will not be able to achieve, we have Almighty God on our side We need to stay strong in trust and faith in God Almighty
thank you for sharing this, we will be praying for this brother, his family, the church there. This should not be of a surprise, because when the Lawless make the Laws this is what will be their new norms. I love Canuck Costi 😉 but yes this will be here a lot quicker than 10-15 yrs, it's coming fast with an administration that doesn't realize what they are signing up for. As they seek to eliminate us, they too will be also eliminated by those who make decisions for them.
I have been saying it now for several years, that our greatest mission field is the local church; you guys cannot imagine the number of so-called Christians that I have spoken with who have overtly stated how happy they are with what the Biden administration is doing in this country. Our “churches” are filled with make-believers.
This is a highly miss-leading video about the actual happenings here in Alberta. His Lawyer posted an interview. As a Christian and follower, this is very disappointing to see.
@@raybruneski3931 Well, it is a large amount of small technical false facts, that make this entire video miss-leading. 1. It didnt happen in Edmonton, but in the neighbouring city, otherwise he would be in EPS custody, and not RCMP 2. He was never told to "shut it down", but to merely follow AHS regulations (facemasks/ social distancing.....) 3. He wasnt technically arrested, but turned himself in (Yes there is a big difference) 4. There wasnt a "secret trail', because his trail isnt scheduled till end of March (as per his lawyer) 5. He is still being held not because of a 'secret trail'. but because technically he is in breach of his bail conditions 6. Yes, the Canadian Charter gives us all these rights, but they omitted the part, that the Charter is subject to EHA and HPA.... as it is also stated in the Charter. Stating half facts/truths goes a little again my personal Christian values, even if these facts are debatable. Omitting just isn't right. .... honestly, this list can go on and on. Personally, i admire what Pastor James Coates has done for the community, the faith, and especially his passion. Watching this Video after watching his Lawyers half hour long interview, it makes me sad to see, that these two fellow Christians are the ones putting fear into peoples minds, by bending, not knowing, or omitting the facts of what actually happened. It is sad and disappointing. They probably didnt intend to do so, but posting videos comes with a certain set of responsibilities of due diligence of fact gathering, or a video might become miss-leading. Let me know if you need help finding that interview, it is also on youtube
@@stevenharvest4517 There's an interview with his wife. She said, they observed your point 2). As for the rest of your comments, where did you get it? From the authority, from the church or were you an eyewitness?
I agree. They never said he couldnt preach. They just want him to preach safely. Paul was arrested for preaching the gospel not because he disobeyed guidelines to protect people so thats a bit of a stretch. Again he was only asked to follow guidelines not stop preaching huge difference
Here's how the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms starts: CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the SUPREMACY of GOD and the rule of law...
When the pandemic hit, Redeemer Bible Church stated that we would submit to our civil authorities, as Christians are called to do. We had to change our meeting style to comply with the guidelines. I think Pastor Coates initially did too, but then he changed his mind. Pastor Coates is not being persecuted for Christ: the government is treating him the same way that they treat would anyone else who has repeatedly violated a law, and after repeated violations with escalating consequences, he has eventually been arrested, and then he refused his bail terms (which were basically "agree to stop breaking the law"). If he chose, Pastor Coates could continue his ministry while following the public health ordinances about building capacity, social distancing, and masks. But instead Paster Coates has decided that the health ordinances do more harm than good and so he will not comply with them, and at his bail hearing he stated that he would continue to break the law and encourage others to do so; and therefore he is being held in jail until his trial. His disobedience would only be righteous if the law was wicked. Pastor Coates does not honor God by disobeying his civil authorities. He is not choosing to obey God instead of the civil authorities; he is choosing to follow his own changing intuition about the relative benefits of disease control vs socialization, instead of obeying the civil ordinances about disease control.
@polo polo on peut sans doute déjà imaginer que des chrétiens comme vous , investis gravement dans les théories complotistes...seront CEUX qui justement seront formatés pour accepter "la marque"... ‼️‼️‼️
So can you explain a bit about Peter's message about submission to the authority that God put in place (the Government) and at what point we fight vs submit. Peter tells us to be good examples. Churches can met on line and have done so successfully. This isn't a Canada wide issue. Are we saying if we don't meet in person we are sinning? How does that work in heavily persecuted countries that can only met in secret or online? Just trying to understand.
@@jeremiahjeremiah1319 Well, let's just apply this logic as a life application. How about you go out into your neighbourhood and race your car up and down the street in and around children playing and see how this pans out for you. It's a free country. The rule as it applies here is that you have every right to drive your car up and down the street, but not in the manner with which you have chosen that endangers others. This isn't about freedom, this is about the ability to use common sense. Insisting your your rights, without responsibility isn't freedom, it's adolesence.
At 1:35 you say, "he was held in a secret trial...and not given a fair hearing." On what basis are you saying this? He appeared at Stoney Plain Provincial court on Wednesday morning. This was neither secret nor was it a trial.
He was arrested for repeatedly violating public health restrictions. Other responsible churches are having church just fine. Sounds like this fellow wanted to make a name for himself. All the while turning people off of Christianity. Way to go.
Actually the church is moving forward in spite of this evil arrest. Many are going back to church because of the men of God standing up, and I’m one on them returning. I’ve met so many people that say the same thing. The Church (body) has a purpose now and we’re not just warming pews. Our future is exciting and the wheat and the chaff will be separated. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

ask yourself when was the last time you saw a priest put in jail because of his faith... the only times this happened in history didnt end well for society. God bless this pastor
Perhaps a little before our lifetimes but John Bunyan (Pilgrim's Progress) was in Bedford Jail for 12 years bc he refused to stop preaching the Gospel. Cudda walked anytime but it's doubtful we would have his masterpiece if he'd capitulated. More recently, Pastor Mario Barroso (Cuba) is in prison for 9 years & his wife for 12 years (I think she gets longer to make sure he plays ball with the authorities) for the same thing. Whereas in Columbia or N.Korea, they just get murdered. Prayers for all pastors.
We are praying desperately for this man of God ... praying whether it’s that thee Lord has James in prison to witness or to stand in the gap ...may the name of the Lord Jesus be glorified , period 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for being concerned for the church wherever it is. I am Canadian and this hits home. I know my family in BC, who are Christians, would agree with putting him in jail. Not sure how to handle that.
I would strongly argue that your family that thinks this ok may not be the Christians that they think they are. Gods word is very clear on how his church is to behave and fellowship. Scripture states 365 times (just coincidence I’m sure, note sarcasm) that we are to “fear not”. We are not to be stupid, but this “plandemic” is about government control not a virus. Early on, we didn’t know exactly what we were dealing with, but it has become painfully clear that this is political manipulation at its core. Pray for your family and show them the truth of a Gods word
They are believers; that is not helpful to just write them off that way. Many Christians in Canada hold the opinion that this is about public health. I understand that. We need to pray for the believers everywhere that are struggling, confused, not aware, or waiting. We are family.
@@mariaisaten Right, but they are not Christians if they put the government above God. Period. That's not to be rude to them, but that's simply the truth. If you put the government above God, you are so far from the Gospels that you are not a Christian. They need to come to God, God does not need to go to them.
I’m in BC Canada and am horrified by all this. As is my RCMP husband. He’d quit before arresting a pastor for this. It’s very disheartening reading professing Christians agree with him being arrested. Critical thinking seems so rare these days.
@@mariaisaten It is about public health. What gives this pastor the right to facilitate the transmission of the virus and endanger other people? How many people will die or become ill because of his religious zealotry? Fortunately the virus has a low death rate. What if it was 10% or a mutation got to that level? What would you say then? Look at Israel where the religious zealots at 12.6% of the population have 28% of the cases in the country. Their zealotry is kiling them and others. We don't need or want that here. There are safer ways to preach to one's congregation.
Praying for Pastor James and his family, his congregation as well. I’m so proud of him. God Bless his pure heart! 🙏
Prayers for all pastors to have faith and strength.
All churches should have been kept open during COVID. James is right in what he's done for Christ. I am fully behind his true faith. I pray for his release and for his wife & family.

This psychotic strategy in terms of Covid is all documented as having been hatched by Bill Gates and you can hear the crazy words coming out of his own mouth, if you listen to the data on TH-cam, etc... Don't just merely take my word for it. I dare you to study it out on your own so you know the truth of what is behind the accusations against the China labs and so forth.

Apostles were told to stop preaching and they still did preach out of respect of what God command them to do. As they obeyed God not man. And then in 1 Cor 9:16(kjv) "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" Woe is God's severest chastened is reserved for unfaithful ministers. Then seen in James 3:1(kjv) "My Brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation."
Daniel 3- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, didn't obey Nebuchadnezzar to worship him.
You should read Daniel 6, Daniel still prayed to God against the man's law because it violated God's law
We should obey government until it violates God's commandments and not until that law directly affects us.
Now stop with your strawman points, you condemn Christians and Christ, so how can you claim Christ, you cant.

@AntiCap Atheist Christians obey Romans 13 when the government is in its lawful jurisdiction to uphold righteousness, punishing evil doers and rewarding those who do good. The covid bylaws interfere with Gods command for us to meet publicly for worship. Biblically, government was introduced to protect the God given rights of humans when there was murder of theft done to a human. When government infringes upon those rights we have the right to resist and make inquiry about their democratic duties, their job is to protect our rights and not take them away in the name of "safety".
@AntiCap Atheist Just because a government like Rome was barbaric, Romans 13 still commands us to obey government to a certain point (pay taxes, honor the king), but there were areas where Christians clearly disobeyed government, like in refusing to offer incense to the Emperor. This does not contradict the command in chapter 13. We are to obey government and live peaceably with all until their laws dictate our worship or force us to do something sinful. (See Daniel 3) (Acts 4)
@AntiCap Atheist From the very early times, Christians had to take definitive positions against oppressive and unlawful actions by governments/authorities, and stood for their faith in obedience to God's word. People should educate themselves before feeling compelled to comment on something.
@AntiCap Atheist Here I am a Follower of Christ, missionary and pastor's kid and I agree with "the atheist " completely on this issue. I'm embarrassed my fellow Christians' insistence that covid restrictions are persecution.... It's really deflating
@AntiCap Atheist Life comes from life. It has never been observed that life comes from dead matter. So it is only logical to conclude that the Eternal Absolute (=God) has life itself. If you believe that live comes from dead matter, the burden of proof is on your side.

You are wrong. Scripture is clear, you have to obey the authority. The authority did not stop you from worship the Father. They stop the gathering for health reasons.
Because of their disobedience to the Father, they brought judgement on themselves.
Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim.
Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves.
Here is your second witness:
Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
and third witness:
1Pe 2:13 Be subject to every institution of man because of the Master, whether to the sovereign as supreme,
1Pe 2:14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of doers of evil, and a praise for those who do good.

@@jacobtack2258 You really need to listen to Pastor Coates sermon on February 14. It was probably the best preached sermon on authority that I have heard of in this age. I have heard and preached from Romans 13 , Titus and 1 Peter and you are wrong in how you are reading it. When is the line crossed from our “authorities” and we stand against them.? It is also biblical (Samuel, Acts etc) that we practice civil disobedience when it is warranted and frankly this “pandemic” has been wildly overblown and people are living their lives in abject fear! I am not naive to say hat COVID isn’t serious, but the numbers speak for themselves.
@@darknappster7822 You don't get it, we can only disobey the authorities if it is against Torah. If people live in fear their relationship with their Maker is not good.
Even if things seem wrong to you, if our Father says obey, you better obey.
I don't know, but you probably know that the Yahudim/Jews were exiled to Babylon. A pagan nation with a pagan ruler. Yahuah said obey the authority and if they don't....:
Jer 27:6 ‘And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar the sovereign of Baḇel, My servant. And the beasts of the field I have also given him to serve him.
Jer 27:7 ‘And all nations shall serve him and his son and his son’s son, until the time of his land comes. And then many nations and great sovereigns shall make him serve them.
Jer 27:8 ‘And it shall be, the nation and reign that do not serve Neḇuḵaḏnetstsar the sovereign of Baḇel, and the one that does not put its neck under the yoke of the sovereign of Baḇel, that nation I shall punish,’ declares יהוה, ‘with the sword, and the scarcity of food, and the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Jer 27:9 ‘So do not listen to your prophets, or to your diviners, or to your dreamers, or to your observers of clouds, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “Do not serve the sovereign of Baḇel.”
Do not listen to your pastors telling you to disobey the authority.
If you read Daniel 6, you will also learn that Daniel had to and did obey King Darius. But then the govenors weren't happy that the King blessed Daniel the way he did and wanted to get Daniel to fail. But they knew he would not disobey the king, but he will disobey if it goes against His Elohim.
Dan 6:4 Then the governors and viceroys sought to find occasion against Dani’ĕl concerning the reign. But they were unable to find occasion or corruption, because he was steadfast, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.
Dan 6:5 Then these men said, “We shall not find any occasion against this Dani’ĕl unless we find it against him concerning the law of his Elah.”
And this Daniel disobeyed, because it was against Yahuah's Torah:
Dan 6:7 “All the governors of the reign, the nobles and viceroys, the counsellors and advisors, have consulted together to establish a royal decree and to make a strong interdict, that whoever petitions any elah or man for thirty days, except you, O sovereign, is thrown into the den of lions.
And he was thrown in with the lions. And Yahuah protected him.
This is the word of Yahuah, you decide if you want to bring judgement on to yourselves:
Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim.
Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves.
I’m praying that this pastor will preach to the prisoners and staff I pray his jailing will not be in vain and I praying he’ll be safe and soon set free in Christ Jesus our Savior amen 🙏🏾

A reminder, 3rd witness:
Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
When our Father repeats Himself, we better listen.
The only time we may disobey the authority, is when we are expected to disobey His Word.
Like in Daniel, when they tried to trick Him to bow to the king.
He refused rightly and our Father protected Him.
Same with Mordekai when He was expected to bow down to Haman. Again the Father protected.
But otherwise we obey the govenrment, because we are commanded to.
No pastor can say any different, if they do, they are wrong. Just as they are wrong with the Father and Son's Sacred names, with the Sabbath, with Christmas and Easter, with eating of unclean foods.
Our Father does not change, but Christianity changes with the time.
Mal 3:6 “For I am יהוה, I shall not change, and you, O sons of Yaʽaqoḇ, shall not come to an end.

@@angelamcentee1277 Great verse, but read on a bit, we have to obey His Torah/Law. If you disobey His Word, like disobeying the authorities, that is willful sin, because you know you have to obey The Father:
Heb 10:26 For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins,
Heb 10:27 but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents.

And then in 1 Cor 9:16(kjv) "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!" Woe is God's severest chastened is reserved for unfaithful ministers. Then seen in James 3:1(kjv) "My Brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation."
Daniel 3- Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, didn't obey Nebuchadnezzar to worship him.
You should read Daniel 6, Daniel still prayed to God against the man's law because it violated God's law
We should obey government until it violates God's commandments and not until that law directly affects us.
Now stop with your strawman points, you condemn Christians and Christ, so how can you claim Christ, you cant.
Pastor Mike Theissan is awaiting a court date from Alliston, ON and his church has been shut down as he was still preaching. He has been on you tube- Liberty Coalition.
I go to church here in alberta we follow the rules be wise as a serpent and harmless as dove so we wear masks as well I can't go all the time because of percentage of people there's nothing wrong with following the rules
Watch Pastor Coates last sermon before his arrest at Grace Life Church Edmonton Alberta on Feb. 14
It is a MUST SEE!!!!
God won today. He won on the cross. He won when he resurrected from death. And he wins when this world passes away. He always wins because he is The Lord God.
I'm in Edmonton and got into several arguments on the Edmonton Journal article's comment section. Most people think our right to worship doesn't trump the Government's right to take our rights away. Also, "if you believe in God shouldn't life be more sacred than getting together in your clubhouse?" Sigh. We've fallen so far from the truth. But for Nations that know the truth and willfully turn from it the Lord will give them a degenerate mind. And we can sure see that now. Men can be women. Women can be men. Men can be dogs, elves, horses, etc etc. Literally insane demon doctrines. Pray for Canada and all God's people.
Pray for their boys. They are just children missing their Daddy. May the Lord heal and keep their souls.
The government officials are in whopping big trouble with God! Praise God for Pastor's of faith and courage! Praying for the ignorant fools locking them up
What the devil intended for evil, I pray that God will use this situation for His purposes and bless beyond measure this pastor, family and congregation!
Rebel News is doing a great job getting the truth out there!
I will pray for him and his family
2 Corinthian 2:11 Devils devices
1 Corinthians 9:25-27 the crowns LOST
The Lord said, “the Devil would use his “Devices” to take your crowns”...... Who do you fear? The Lord, or Government! How many preach everyday yet didn’t even see Satans work? What would Government do IF ALL Pastors refused to close, ALL, like they “Believed” or something.................... May God Bless you for Standing up for the Lord Jesus Christ, trust the Lord Holy Ghost! Holy Father is watching!
Covid is also used to shut down what those in power don't like and God's word is top of the list. Joshua 1:9. Blessings from the UK.
Covid - God brings good, out of all things meant for evil, for us all. We now have Christians, who cannot find good solid word churches, now can have church on-line, and not just a recorded sermon, but actually participate. Pastors are aware more now of the isolation some us are suffering.
I am an Albertan and I just made an important video that actually unpacks what our Canadian rights and freedoms are. I am really hoping that Canadians begin engaging in a larger conversation that NEEDS to happen in our Nation right now. It is a complicated issue, but regardless of how a person sees Pastor James' conduct, our Rights and Freedoms are being violated. At the VERY LEAST - we need to have an open dialog.
Health mandates do not supersede your Charter rights, Anybody enforcing something that violates your charter rights is doing so illegally. Please seek out legal advice and charge your relevant officials/prosecutors for infringing your charter rights.
Thank you for the encouragement Pastors. 🙏❤️
Lord set us all free to worship you, Walmart’s, Costco’s big box stores here in Canada are crowded, maybe we need to do “Church” there
They have 200+ crowds everyday there
Pastor James, lots of prayers going up for you, Know that you are guided, guarded and protected... And So It Is 🙏🏾
Blessed are they which are prosecuted for righteousness their is the kingdom of heaven, Thanks for the example 🙏
Jesus predicted and prophesied this would happen in Matthew 24!!!
I’m in New Brunswick and I wish we would stand up and be the watchmen that they should !
Shame on you Canada the way you have treated Pastor Coates. From Australia
Where can we write, email or snail mail, to let the government officials in Alberta know that what is happening with pastor Coates's is unacceptable? Of course he will be on my prayer list.
Jason Kenney is the premier of Alberta
You are wrong. Scripture is clear, you have to obey the authority. The authority did not stop you from worship the Father. They stop the gathering for health reasons.
Because of their disobedience to the Father, they brought judgement on themselves.
Rom 13:1 Let every being be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from Elohim, and the authorities that exist are appointed by Elohim.
Rom 13:2 So he who opposes the authority withstands the institution of Elohim, and those who withstand shall bring judgment on themselves.
Here is your second witness:
Tit 3:1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work,
and third witness:
1Pe 2:13 Be subject to every institution of man because of the Master, whether to the sovereign as supreme,
1Pe 2:14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of doers of evil, and a praise for those who do good.
1Pe 2:15 Because such is the desire of Elohim, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men,
His sermon was so good!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I could “believe” hurting or abandoning someone is “protecting” them, does not make it true. Abandoning the flock in a hard time is cowardly and not “protecting” them.
Edit:
My meaning here is that those who shrink to livestream “services” are not living a call worthy of the one who gave His life in our place.
@@mariae1948 no Coates is one of the few brave men. The livestream warriors are the ones lacking courage.
Before COVID, did Christian Pastors ensure their churches met local Building Codes, charity tax receipt laws, etc.? Why?
Does the Bible allow us to ignore or reinterpret laws we don't like?
Bible says:
Honour, pay taxes, and do not resist your righteous Kings and other higher powers; for God raised up and gave authority to them as the ordained ministers of God. If man’s law is unavoidably contrary to God’s Law, openly and publicly obey God’s Laws; and rejoice in any unjust persecution or martyrdom that you suffer for the greater glory of God.
Instead of defiance, Pastor & congregation need to innovate how to ensure compliance, yet find loop holes or alternatives so that great exploints for God can still be accomplished, the Gospel preached, and the flock tended.
See: Gen 9:5-6, Dan 2:21, Dan 2:37-38, Dan 4:17, Isaiah 45:1, Mat 17:24-27, Mat 22:20-21, Mar 12:13-17, Luk 16:13, Luk 20:25, John 19:11, Act 5:27-29, 40-42; Rom 2:13, Rom 13:1-14, Eph 5:21, Eph 6:1, Tit 3:1, Heb 13:17 Jas 1:25, 1Pe 1:14, 1Pe 2:13-18, 1Jo 3:4, 1 Tim 2:2.

God has blessed us richly with this pastor
@Livin Gunk The Almighty God of the Bible:)
Praying for all you have asked! I am sharing Pastor Coates' messages with many!
Be bold in the TRUTH, yet humble. I am in the states, and learned of his jailing from our pastor, I looked him up and watched Pastor Coates sermon: "Feb 14, 2021 (Romans 13:1-4) "Directing Government to its Duty" And was brought to tears painful/yet beautiful as these trying times help us see the TRUTH of the gospel, my words can't do it justice, praying that everyone will look it up and listen to it. Our country and our children need us to and who knows, Jesus may come today!
Were there not restrictions put on gathering together?
Social distancing, masks and limited numbers?
Simple rules to follow, and still respect the law of the land without pushing the envelope.
There's more to the story than you have revealed in your video.
15% capacity. Absolute nonsense. Read the statement on their church website. A year into “2 weeks to flatten the curve” we know this virus affects the elderly and those with 2-3 co-morbidities. 99.8% survival rate. Studies prove masks not only don’t work for viruses, they can make you more vulnerable to catching it.
As the leader of his flock, he looked at the data and made a decision. The government has no business telling a church leader how to lead. Coates is following God, not man.
Yep. Most churches there are following the restrictions and still assembling. He chose to disobey the law and do what he wanted instead. There are consequences for that.
@@bethbaumann9669 it’s not the law. These are medical mandates from a medical dictatorship.
@@sarasiam5370 😂
@@bethbaumann9669 I’m sorry but why is that funny? Our health officer, who is an unelected official, makes every decision. Our case numbers are .001% of the population.... maybe you like living without seeing your friends, family, etc. But most don’t. If you’re that scared of the virus, stay home. You won’t ever get sick and you won’t ever die! The government can be your nanny but I’d rather make my own decisions. Thanks.
All pastors and biz need to do the same for change to happen or else this will NEVER end.
10, 15 or 20 years? It's right on our doorstep here in America. They just passed the 'Equality Act' on the House floor today, which will have a chilling effect on churches and Christian organizations. It still has to pass the Senate.
The religion of safetyism has many new followers these days!
Faithfulness to the Lord and His Word always takes precedence over the orders of a secular bureaucrat. Christians and Christ's church must obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29).
If the bill H.R.5 passes in the U.S. it will happen soon in America. Does Canada have our constitution?
Praying for the true church that we would be purified during this time., that we return to the old paths and the old ways. Return to the preaching of the Cross not just for Salvation but for the believer. The pathway to power is through the Cross. And the world needs a Church that knows the power of God in their midst. So many are hopeless and in despair. Many sadly choose to end it.
God bless this pastor and his family.
God bless Pastor Mc Arthur and all who live Godly in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
I live in Victoria Australia and the first thing that was shut out was going into schools with non denominational teachings as soon as Labor premier got in instantly stopped. Like all over the WORLD they are wanting to get rid of all Churches/Christians, try as they will, they will not be able to achieve, we have Almighty God on our side
We need to stay strong in trust and faith in God Almighty
thank you for sharing this, we will be praying for this brother, his family, the church there. This should not be of a surprise, because when the Lawless make the Laws this is what will be their new norms. I love Canuck Costi 😉 but yes this will be here a lot quicker than 10-15 yrs, it's coming fast with an administration that doesn't realize what they are signing up for. As they seek to eliminate us, they too will be also eliminated by those who make decisions for them.
We desperately,
need to worship our Lord Jesus Christ with our brother's and sisters in person .Our heart's ake for real physical fellowship.
I have been saying it now for several years, that our greatest mission field is the local church; you guys cannot imagine the number of so-called Christians that I have spoken with who have overtly stated how happy they are with what the Biden administration is doing in this country.
Our “churches” are filled with make-believers.
God has a purpose for all of these. God bless Ptr. James and his family. Our prayers goes with you. Godbless!
It's about choice. FAITH over fear!
This is a highly miss-leading video about the actual happenings here in Alberta. His Lawyer posted an interview. As a Christian and follower, this is very disappointing to see.
Please explain.
@@raybruneski3931 Well, it is a large amount of small technical false facts, that make this entire video miss-leading.
1. It didnt happen in Edmonton, but in the neighbouring city, otherwise he would be in EPS custody, and not RCMP
2. He was never told to "shut it down", but to merely follow AHS regulations (facemasks/ social distancing.....)
3. He wasnt technically arrested, but turned himself in (Yes there is a big difference)
4. There wasnt a "secret trail', because his trail isnt scheduled till end of March (as per his lawyer)
5. He is still being held not because of a 'secret trail'. but because technically he is in breach of his bail conditions
6. Yes, the Canadian Charter gives us all these rights, but they omitted the part, that the Charter is subject to EHA and HPA.... as it is also stated in the Charter. Stating half facts/truths goes a little again my personal Christian values, even if these facts are debatable. Omitting just isn't right.
.... honestly, this list can go on and on.
Personally, i admire what Pastor James Coates has done for the community, the faith, and especially his passion. Watching this Video after watching his Lawyers half hour long interview, it makes me sad to see, that these two fellow Christians are the ones putting fear into peoples minds, by bending, not knowing, or omitting the facts of what actually happened. It is sad and disappointing. They probably didnt intend to do so, but posting videos comes with a certain set of responsibilities of due diligence of fact gathering, or a video might become miss-leading.
Let me know if you need help finding that interview, it is also on youtube
@@stevenharvest4517 There's an interview with his wife. She said, they observed your point 2). As for the rest of your comments, where did you get it? From the authority, from the church or were you an eyewitness?
@@JesseMgala I got the information from his Lawyer, who happens to be the ONLY person he has talked to since he turned himself in
I agree. They never said he couldnt preach. They just want him to preach safely. Paul was arrested for preaching the gospel not because he disobeyed guidelines to protect people so thats a bit of a stretch. Again he was only asked to follow guidelines not stop preaching huge difference
Here's how the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms starts:
CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the SUPREMACY of GOD and the rule of law...
Amen!🙏
When the pandemic hit, Redeemer Bible Church stated that we would submit to our civil authorities, as Christians are called to do. We had to change our meeting style to comply with the guidelines. I think Pastor Coates initially did too, but then he changed his mind. Pastor Coates is not being persecuted for Christ: the government is treating him the same way that they treat would anyone else who has repeatedly violated a law, and after repeated violations with escalating consequences, he has eventually been arrested, and then he refused his bail terms (which were basically "agree to stop breaking the law"). If he chose, Pastor Coates could continue his ministry while following the public health ordinances about building capacity, social distancing, and masks. But instead Paster Coates has decided that the health ordinances do more harm than good and so he will not comply with them, and at his bail hearing he stated that he would continue to break the law and encourage others to do so; and therefore he is being held in jail until his trial. His disobedience would only be righteous if the law was wicked. Pastor Coates does not honor God by disobeying his civil authorities. He is not choosing to obey God instead of the civil authorities; he is choosing to follow his own changing intuition about the relative benefits of disease control vs socialization, instead of obeying the civil ordinances about disease control.
I agree 100 % 👍🏻
The law that states Christians are not too publicly worship is wicked. Not sure how you don't understand this....
@polo polo on peut sans doute déjà imaginer que des chrétiens comme vous , investis gravement dans les théories complotistes...seront CEUX qui justement seront formatés pour accepter "la marque"... ‼️‼️‼️
Very well put.
I was in an restaurant near Edmonton recently and it was packed out. The church can be as well.
@Pastor James Coates Pastor Coates would never say this. Please stop spamming.
Thank you for standing up for Pastor Coates and his decision to follow Christ 🙏
So can you explain a bit about Peter's message about submission to the authority that God put in place (the Government) and at what point we fight vs submit. Peter tells us to be good examples. Churches can met on line and have done so successfully. This isn't a Canada wide issue. Are we saying if we don't meet in person we are sinning? How does that work in heavily persecuted countries that can only met in secret or online? Just trying to understand.
@@jeremiahjeremiah1319 Well, let's just apply this logic as a life application. How about you go out into your neighbourhood and race your car up and down the street in and around children playing and see how this pans out for you. It's a free country. The rule as it applies here is that you have every right to drive your car up and down the street, but not in the manner with which you have chosen that endangers others. This isn't about freedom, this is about the ability to use common sense. Insisting your your rights, without responsibility isn't freedom, it's adolesence.
Paul also snuck out of the city by being lowered from the walls in a basket.
@@bholl5029 This is all about freedom. It is about nothing else.

Is Rocco Galati involved in the Pastor James Coates case????
At 1:35 you say, "he was held in a secret trial...and not given a fair hearing." On what basis are you saying this? He appeared at Stoney Plain Provincial court on Wednesday morning. This was neither secret nor was it a trial.
If it wasn't a trial Dan Esau then why is he in prison?
I fail to see how Pastor James Coates was anything but reasonable. He showed grace to both sides of the issue.
He was arrested for repeatedly violating public health restrictions. Other responsible churches are having church just fine. Sounds like this fellow wanted to make a name for himself. All the while turning people off of Christianity. Way to go.
Actually the church is moving forward in spite of this evil arrest. Many are going back to church because of the men of God standing up, and I’m one on them returning. I’ve met so many people that say the same thing. The Church (body) has a purpose now and we’re not just warming pews. Our future is exciting and the wheat and the chaff will be separated. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Praise God! He will bring good out of this mess! Get in His ark while we had time! Blessings!
Very sad...but very exciting that the church has a chance to stand strong. Praying Pastor stays strong.

ask yourself when was the last time you saw a priest put in jail because of his faith...
the only times this happened in history didnt end well for society.
God bless this pastor
Perhaps a little before our lifetimes but John Bunyan (Pilgrim's Progress) was in Bedford Jail for 12 years bc he refused to stop preaching the Gospel. Cudda walked anytime but it's doubtful we would have his masterpiece if he'd capitulated. More recently, Pastor Mario Barroso (Cuba) is in prison for 9 years & his wife for 12 years (I think she gets longer to make sure he plays ball with the authorities) for the same thing. Whereas in Columbia or N.Korea, they just get murdered. Prayers for all pastors.

I'm not even religious but I hope you guys do well.
I thought jail was for criminals?
What the enemy meant for evil God meant for good, the saving of many lives! May God save the men in prison with James through James
Thank you for being concerned for the church wherever it is. I am Canadian and this hits home. I know my family in BC, who are Christians, would agree with putting him in jail. Not sure how to handle that.
I would strongly argue that your family that thinks this ok may not be the Christians that they think they are. Gods word is very clear on how his church is to behave and fellowship. Scripture states 365 times (just coincidence I’m sure, note sarcasm) that we are to “fear not”. We are not to be stupid, but this “plandemic” is about government control not a virus. Early on, we didn’t know exactly what we were dealing with, but it has become painfully clear that this is political manipulation at its core. Pray for your family and show them the truth of a Gods word
They are believers; that is not helpful to just write them off that way. Many Christians in Canada hold the opinion that this is about public health. I understand that. We need to pray for the believers everywhere that are struggling, confused, not aware, or waiting. We are family.
@@mariaisaten Right, but they are not Christians if they put the government above God. Period. That's not to be rude to them, but that's simply the truth. If you put the government above God, you are so far from the Gospels that you are not a Christian. They need to come to God, God does not need to go to them.
I’m in BC Canada and am horrified by all this. As is my RCMP husband. He’d quit before arresting a pastor for this.
It’s very disheartening reading professing Christians agree with him being arrested. Critical thinking seems so rare these days.
@@mariaisaten It is about public health. What gives this pastor the right to facilitate the transmission of the virus and endanger other people? How many people will die or become ill because of his religious zealotry? Fortunately the virus has a low death rate. What if it was 10% or a mutation got to that level? What would you say then? Look at Israel where the religious zealots at 12.6% of the population have 28% of the cases in the country. Their zealotry is kiling them and others. We don't need or want that here. There are safer ways to preach to one's congregation.
Joyous privilege! Courageous prayer!
