The European nation of Denmark is reportedly proposing a new law, with their Prime Minister’s backing, that would force Pastors to translate and submit all sermons to the state.

Although the Danish government claims the legislation is intended to counteract “Islamist extremism,” it is Christians who are speaking out about the proposed law and how it blatantly violates the religious liberty of Churches.

There is also growing concern that this law will quickly spread throughout other European nations in a time Persecution and suppression of Religious Freedom is only growing.

“In a democratic society, I would hope the government would strive for better cooperation with religious organizations than hastily resorting to legislation interfering with their freedoms,” a pastor wrote in a letter to the Prime Minister. 

“This is a first, which is why it is so important we find a way to address and encourage the Danish government to find another solution. Because my real concern is that if the Danes do it, other countries may copy. That would be a very worrying development indeed.”

“There is a wide sense of concern about this,” he said, adding that the threat to Christian liberty is prevalent in Europe as a whole. “This is not an isolated incident.”

To those that understand the actions of Nazi Control over Germany, this should sound very familiar. German Churches under Nazi rule had two options: They could espouse and hang nazi Propaganda from their pulpits, or speak Biblical truth contrary to their totalitarian government, and face Imprisonment, concentration camps, or death.
