Cinotti’s Bakery In Jacksonville Florida Under Fire By LGBTQ+ Activists After Pro-Heterosexual Post During Pride Month Sparks Outrage

Cinotti’s Bakery returned for its normal business hours Tuesday after the well-known Jacksonville Beach bakery issued an apology after one of its owners posted anti-LGBTQ messages to her social media page.

Cinotti’s Bakery is just a few miles up the street from me here in Saint Augustine, in a town called Jacksonville here in the free state of Florida. The other day one of the owner’s of Cinotti’s, co-owner Doodle Cinotti, published a pro-heterosexual ‘straight pride’ post which I found rather amusing, and quite accurate. None of us would be here without heterosexual people getting married and having babies, and science will never change that process. Naturally, the LGBTQ+ Mafia were immediately outraged.

“This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.” Genesis 5:1,2 (KJB)

“And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.” Genesis 2:23-25 (KJB)

I give Cinotti’s lots of credit, it takes guts to stand for Bible truth in a day and age where truth is ‘fallen in the street’, it truly does. When I called them for a statement, Michelle Vining speaking on behalf of the family, told me that they apologized if anyone was hurt by their post because their Christian faith tells them to love people. On that point I wholeheartedly agree, Jesus died for the worst of sinners, filthy rotten sinners like me…and you. Michelle also told me that the apology did not mean that they were caving into the pressure, or backing away from their biblical Christian beliefs. Only that they never meant to hurt anyone, and again, I commend them for that. More than once in my Christian walk have I had to go back and apologize, not for what I said, but for how I said it. If the gospel offends people, let them be offended, but we should not be offensive personally to other people around us.

If you live local to Jacksonville, Florida, I urge you to stop into Cinotti’s Bakery and give me them your support, encourage them for taking a biblical stand, I am sure they would appreciate that. And by the way, when my daughter got married last month, Cinotti’s made the cupcakes, and they were fantastically delicious!

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:15 (KJB)

1st day of business for Cinotti’s Bakery after backlash, apology over anti-LGBTQ posts

FROM NEWS4JAX: The bakery is always closed on Sundays and Mondays, and the owner, Mike Cinotti, told News4Jax the employees, including his wife, Doodle, who shared the posts, were at the bakery on Monday to review and revamp the business’ social media policy.

The bakery opened for business on Tuesday morning at 6 a.m., and News4Jax saw a handful of customers heading in to the shop not long after the doors opened. Some customers said they would not return to Cinotti’s after the controversy, but many others said they would still support the business, which they called a beloved fixture in the community.

THIS IS THE POST THAT CAUSED ALL THE RUCKUS, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF IT? COMMENT BELOW!

The posts that sparked the backlash came from Doodle Cinotti, a vice president of Cinotti’s Bakery-Sandwich Shop. One meme described heterosexual relationships as “natural” and implied that any other types of relationships are unnatural.

Mike Cinotti, Doodle’s husband and the business owner, said the Facebook posts do not represent the store.

“What you’ve seen on social media is not a true picture of who we are,” Mike Cinotti said in an interview with News4Jax. “I would love to invite anybody to come, have a cup of coffee and sit down and find out who we really are.”

Stephen Gaskill, president of the Florida LGBTQ Democratic Caucus called the post “tone-deaf” at best and “incredibly homophobic” at worst and said it was particularly hurtful during Pride Month, which celebrates the LGBTQ community.

“Florida really is moving towards being a non-discriminatory state. We support equality. We are opposed to discrimination. And yet, we still have pockets where things like this happened,” Gaskill said. “Where this post can be posted, clearly heartfelt belief, or she wouldn’t have posted it.”

As the bakery moves on and moves forward, Mike Cinotti said he hopes people will take the apology to heart.

“First, foremost, we apologize for any for offending anybody. We never intended that. Our hearts are to serve this community,” he said. “We all make mistakes.”

Cinotti also apologized saying that anti-LGBTQ messages are not in line with their Christian beliefs. READ MORE

Outrage As A New Proposed Bill In The Knesset In Israel Would Send Christians To Jail For Witnessing To Jews About Salvation In Jesus Christ

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Leading evangelical Christians are publicly urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scuttle legislation introduced by ultra-Orthodox members of his coalition that would punish Christian attempts to witness Jesus to the Jews with imprisonment.

As we said on the Podcast on Monday, Benjamin Netanyahu’s 5th term as prime minister of Israel got off to a rocky start, and so far has stayed there. Now comes the news that 2 members of his government are pushing a bill that would send Christians to jail for telling a Jew how to get saved. And just like that, we are back in the book of Acts. Why is this happening? Because the Church Age is coming to a close, and all the world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist and his coming 7-year kingdom.

“And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.” Acts 5:40-42 (KJB)

Benjamin Netanyahu has over the years formed a warm alliance with the American evangelical community, who for their part, have never been overly enthusiastic about telling lost Jews in Israel about salvation in Jesus Christ. I am remember the time that John Hagee, founder of Christians United For Israel (CUFI), when asked to speak at the dedication of the US Embassy in Jerusalem. He had the attention of all Israel and the entire world, and spoke not a word about ‘bringing back the King’. Hagee knows how the game is played, so this proposed bill won’t affect him and his crew at all. But to the Bible believing street preacher in Jerusalem, the warning bells of the coming persecution are tolling for thee.

New bill proposed in Israel will make it a crime to tell a Jew about salvation in Jesus Christ

FROM HAARETZ: The legislation – introduced by United Torah Judaism MKs Moshe Gafni and Yaakov Asher – would apply to anyone who would attempt to persuade someone from changing their religious beliefs. The legislation, however, specifically notes that “the attempts of missionary groups, mainly Christians, to solicit conversion of religion have increased.”

The UTJ bill further outlaws sharing New Testament theology via online videos, online articles, social media, written literature and other forms of media. It further stipulates one year imprisonment for explaining faith in Jesus to an adult and two years imprisonment if discussing it with a minor.

The bill’s primary objective, therefore, appears to be making it illegal for followers of Jesus (“Yeshua” in Hebrew) to explain why they believe that Jesus is both Messiah and God with the hope that Israelis might consider following Him.

Netanyahu and his allies – namely former Israel Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer – have publicly and privately stressed the importance of evangelical support as U.S. Jews have grown increasingly critical of Israel’s rightward shift. This dynamic has largely fueled Israel becoming an increasingly partisan issue where Republicans have adopted increasingly pro-Israel sentiments – both within international geopolitics and local domestic politics.

The legislation, first reported by evangelical website All Israel News, has already provoked significant outcry from leading evangelical Christians — many of whom have been stalwart supporters of Netanyahu over the past several decades.

“The bill could also draw sharp criticism from both Republicans and Democrats in Congress, in the executive branch, among U.S. governors and others who love Israel and have always stood with the Jewish state, but would fiercely oppose efforts to silence followers of Jesus in the Holy Land,” All Israel News’ Joel Rosenberg warned.

Israel is in the middle of civil unrest and terror attacks. The new government is pushing controversial reforms to the court system, that could take power away from the courts to uphold basic laws that ensure human rights and religious freedom. Despite assurances that human rights will be preserved in these reforms a updated version of the “Anti-Missionary” bill has been brought to the Knesset once again, this updated bill in the light of the judicial reforms could make it illegal to share your faith in person or online in Israel!

When Hagee released this book a few years back, claims he made about Jesus were deemed so heretical that Hagee was forced to remove all of chapter 10 and rewrite it to correct his heresy. This clip is the one of the few surviving copies of the official television commercial Hagee made to promote his book. At the very least, John Hagee will not be able to deny he said these things.

When Will Pope Francis And The Roman Catholic Church Apologize For The Slaughter Of Millions Of Christians During The Spanish Inquisition?

When will Pope Francis and the Roman Catholic Church apologize for the millions of Christians slaughtered during the 300 years of the Spanish Inquisition?

Pope Francis, ruler of the Roman Catholic Church as well as the king of Vatican City, has been on an ‘apology tour’ lately, attempting to placate critics of the Roman Harlot with pretend apologies for past atrocities. If he really meant business, Pope Francis would apologize for 300 years of slaughtering Christians for the crimes of owning a Bible and not worshipping the Roman eucharist. The truth about the Spanish Inquisition has been all but wiped from our collective memory, but thank God for men like historian John Foxe who faithfully recorded those atrocities and put them in a book called Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, a must-read for all true Christians. You will get so much more out of your study of books of like Revelation, Zechariah and Lamentations after reading Foxe’s Book of Martyrs and getting the context.

“And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:6 (KJB)

For 300 years, the Roman Catholic Church, the true enemy of biblical Christianity, slaughtered millions of Christians by burning them at the stake, tied up while being forced to watch priests and bishops rape their wives and murder their children as they were fed to the flames. Hebrews describes it quite well when it prophetically says “And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;” in Hebrews 11:37,38 (KJB). God’s answer to the Spanish Inquisition was the King James Bible, and everytime you open that Book and hold it in your hands, you are reading a Book literally bathed in blood that countless others gave their life to produce.

Pope Francis apologizes for forced assimilation of Indigenous children at residential schools

FROM CBC: The first day of Pope Francis’s “penitential pilgrimage” began with a heartfelt apology delivered at the site of one of Canada’s largest residential schools and ended eight hours later with blessings and songs at an intimate service in the only designated Indigenous church in Canada.

In a morning event in a First Nation community in central Alberta, Pope Francis apologized for members of the Catholic Church who co-operated with Canada’s “devastating” policy of Indigenous residential schools.

He said the forced assimilation of Indigenous peoples into Christian society destroyed their cultures, severed their families and marginalized generations in ways still being felt today.

“I humbly beg forgiveness for the evil committed by so many Christians against the Indigenous peoples,” Francis told thousands of Indigenous people, including many survivors, who converged on Maskwacis, Alta., about 100 kilometres south of Edmonton

To applause from those gathered, the Pope repeatedly begged forgiveness for actions of the past, supported by many members of the Church, which created the “disastrous error” and “deplorable evil” of residential schools. He said the memories of the children who never returned from residential schools have left him with a sense of “sorrow, indignation and shame.” READ MORE

They Will Use The COVID-19 Vaccine ‘Religious Exemption’ To Make It Easier To Identify The Body Of Christ When Time Comes For The Camps

Religious Exemption makes rounding up all the unvaccinated Christians to place them in concentration camps on Bill Gates farmland super easy.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Religious exemptions, once used sparingly around the country to get exempted from various required vaccines, are becoming a much more widely used loophole against the mandated COVID-19 shot.

Christians all across America are right now scrambling for what’s known as a ‘religious exemption’ which will allow them to not have to receive the COVID-19 vaccine injection based on their religious and spiritual beliefs. Christians think this a good thing, but hold on now, this may be exactly what the government is hoping you will do.

“Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.” Matthew 24:9 (KJB)

Across all of the liberal media news outlets right now, various commentators and pundits are calling for the unvaccinated to be removed from society, to be denied access to food, water, and emergency medical attention. At the highest levels of the American government, the order has already been given to start withholding life-saving medicine to people battling COVID. None of this is fear mongering or speculation, it is happening. Receiving a religious exemption tells the government that you identify with the Body Of Jesus Christ, you are putting yourself on a hit list of your own making. When it comes time for the unvaccinated to be removed, and Bill A416 is pending in New York State right now, rounding up all the unvaccinated Christians to place them in concentration camps located on Bill Gates 240,000 acres of farmland will be just as easy as shooting ducks in a barrel.

“If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?” Jeremiah 12:5 (KJB)

On a related side note, I have been receiving some feedback today about this afternoon’s Prophecy News Podcast, with some saying that I have “gone too far”, and that I am scaring people and should pull back. I would like to reply with the following two thoughts. The smartest thing that Albert Einstein ever came up with was not his Theory of General Relativity, E=mc2, or anything else from that fertile brain. No, the smartest thing that Einstein ever did was to flee Nazi Germany in 1932 while he could still get out. He was smart enough to read the ‘handwriting on the wall’ and do something about it. How about you, Christian? You say you are saved and believe the Bible, if so, then that makes you smarter than Einstein ever was. Don’t get mad at me for telling you the truth of what’s happening, do something about it.

As COVID-19 vaccine mandates rise, religious exemptions grow and that’s a problem

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: An estimated 2,600 Los Angeles Police Department employees are citing religious objections to try to get out of the required COVID-19 vaccination. In Washington state, thousands of state workers are seeking similar exemptions. And in Arkansas, a hospital has been swamped with so many such requests from employees that it is apparently calling their bluff.

Religious objections, once used sparingly around the country to get exempted from various required vaccines, are becoming a much more widely used loophole against the COVID-19 shot. And it is only likely to grow following President Joe Biden’s sweeping new vaccine mandates covering more than 100 million Americans, including executive branch employees and workers at businesses with more than 100 people on the payroll.

The administration acknowledges that a small minority of Americans will use — and some may seek to exploit — religious exemptions. But it said it believes even marginal improvements in vaccination rates will save lives.

It is not clear how many federal employees have asked for a religious exemption, though union officials say there will be many requests. The Labor Department has said an accommodation can be denied if it causes an undue burden on the employer. In the states, mask and vaccine requirements vary, but most offer exemptions for certain medical conditions or religious or philosophical objections. The use of such exemptions, particularly by parents on behalf of their schoolchildren, has been growing over the past decade.

The allowance was enshrined in the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, which says employers must make reasonable accommodations for employees who object to work requirements because of “sincerely held” religious beliefs.

A religious belief does not have to be recognized by an organized religion, and it can be new, unusual or “seem illogical or unreasonable to others,” according to rules laid out by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. But it can’t be founded solely on political or social ideas. That puts employers in the position of determining what is a legitimate religious belief and what is a dodge. Many major religious denominations have no objections to the COVID-19 vaccines. But the rollout has prompted heated debates because of the longtime role that cell lines derived from fetal tissue have played, directly or indirectly, in the research and development of various vaccines and medicines.

Roman Catholic leaders in New Orleans and St. Louis went so far as to call Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 shot “morally compromised.” J&J has stressed that there is no fetal tissue in its vaccine. Moreover, the Vatican’s doctrine office has said it is “morally acceptable” for Catholics to receive COVID-19 vaccines that are based on research that used cells derived from aborted fetuses. Pope Francis himself has said it would be “suicide” not to get the shot, and he has been fully vaccinated with the Pfizer formula. READ MORE
