Preventing Jim Bakker From Selling a Bogus COVID-19 Cure Is an Unconstitutional Restriction on His Religious Liberty, Says His Legal Team
By Kyle Mantyla | May 5, 2020 2:35 pm
End Times pastor Jim Bakker has been facing various financial and legal problems ever since he used a February episode of his television program to promote a silver solution sold by his network as a possible cure for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
Bakker is currently being sued by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt for misrepresentations about the effectiveness of Silver Solution as a treatment for 2019 novel coronavirus. Yesterday, Bakkers legal team issued a press release announcing that it had filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit against Bakker, who they claim is being unfairly targeted by those who want to crush his ministry and force his Christian television program off the air
This case is about religious freedom.

Fraud doesn't cease to be fraud just because he has a church.

(36,962 posts)How about the religious freedom to stone someone to death?
Would there be a Biblical punishment of death for fraud?
Or causing someone to die?
