‘The word of God was preached’ despite obstacles – Bishop Cline
“What’s important for the people of God to know is that the word of God was preached, that there were over 400 plus people, not including the shares, who received a word from the Lord… who’s spirit needed to be lifted,” he said in a social media video on Sunday.
‘I did what I had to do’ – Bishop Cline
It was after a live video had surfaced on the Facebook page of the New Life Baptist Church that the Bishop was arrested outside the church facility for breaking curfew and taken down to the Road Town Police Station by Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) officers for questioning.
Bishop Cline, in a subsequent exclusive interview with Virgin Islands News Online, noted that he had applied for permission for three persons to hold the service, explaining that he made the application to the Ministry of Health through the Minister, Hon Carvin Malone (AL); however, it was noted that the Minister did not have the power to grant passes.
According to Bishop Cline, "I did what I had to do, I followed the law, I observed the protocol by applying for the passes, they were indeed granted, but between the Ministry of Health getting word to the police, that they want these passes to be issued… they were not consequent," he said.
The Mr Cline said he was only released as a result of 'showing proof' of his application for the passes and reiterated that it was a misunderstanding.
‘I abided by the law’ – Bishop Cline
“I know that I had went out very passionately and say I don’t believe that the churches needed to be closed and we could have at least been given two hours to have services with a limited amount of persons,” Bishop Cline told Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) when contacted.
He continued, “After that, many persons would know that I regressed from that position, that I was willing to be arrested, that’s what I said… I regressed from that position and said I will abide by the law [and] that is when I submitted the applications for the passes.”
Bishop Cline in a word to his detractors said, “the people who want to rejoice and be glad… I can’t pay them any mind… God bless them anyway.”
In his social media video, Mr Cline was also adamant that the curfew in the Virgin Islands is not as a result of the deadly Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), rather, about 5G technology deployment coming from radioactive balloons hovering over the Caribbean region.

He would find a quiet place away from everybody where he would fast, pray and seek God's guidance - not all over the place looking attention.
Some of ayo going buckle this year !
Some people can only think of the worse and forget death and life is in the power of the tongue.
We should prepare in everything we do but it is faith, obedience to God, and believing and trusting in God declaring victory is how we should live.
He could have streamed from home rather than going in a physical building like he does everything else from trying to prove a point.
God’s Word is not limited to a building.
Get off that ego trip you’re on.
1) If Bishop Cline is so convinced that the order to stay inside is due to potential exposure to 5G-related radiation, why would he be willing to expose not only himself, but any of his followers, to it?
2) Why is Bishop Cline not concerned that his attitude and actions may make him a stumbling block to the very people he says he is so concerned about reaching?
I honestly don't understand.
I guess he related to Donald.
A number churches streamed their service via Facebook, YouTube radio etc. They pre recorded their services that was well received by viewers and listeners.
Fellow preachers should weigh in and call him out for his irresponsible behavior.
What is he telling the law breakers, especially the young people that continue to go around on scooters, that its ok to break the law. I think the Governor and the commissioner of police should revisit what they did yesterday. Charges should be brought against him and his other accomplices.
So shameful. Trumpism.
what's good for the goose is good for the gander
These news coming so fast cant keep up...
Do your own research... google Loon Balloons or Floating cell towers.
Keep your next House of Assembly meeting in the Sports Complex. it's big enough. Don't have to use Save the which Seed.
The law is ["curfew for all"]
Bishop Cline is a lawless man..
