Gallows await pastor; prayer requested


A pastor in Iran has another court hearing scheduled for Sunday. He is under a death sentence for converting to Christianity. (See earlier story)


Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani remains behind bars in Rasht awaiting what is called a re-examination. He claims he never really practiced the Islamic faith. Jason DeMars of Present Truth Ministries tells OneNewsNow what can be expected at the hearing.

"They will be determining whether he was a Muslim between the ages of 15 and 19 -- after the age of accountability -- and then 19 when he became a Christian," he explains. "Then they will forward their results on to the Branch 27 of the Supreme Court, which will have the final decision on whether he is executed or not."

Jason DeMars (Present Truth Ministries)DeMars says there are several ways the court can look at it according to the Shiite faith. He takes a look at the likely argument the government prosecutor will take.

"He did not practice Islam his entire life," DeMars points out, "but they may simply look at it and say he was born into a Muslim home, he knew about Islam his whole life, and therefore we determine that by these definitions he was a Muslim and he should recant it."

If Nadarkhani is determined to be a Muslim, the finding will be sent to the Supreme Court for a final determination -- a process that could take up to six months. DeMars is convinced the only thing that will save the pastor from the hangman's noose is prayer. Source:
