How's this for the granddaddy of all double-dipping: If law enforcement is right, pastor Raul Rosas Hernandez worked for both the Lord and Satan. Or, perhaps just Satan.

Today, the Orange County District Attorney's office alleged that while Hernandez ministered to the faithful in telephone calls he didn't mind simultaneously molesting--(intercourse, oral copulation, digital penetration and groping) kids in his church or at his Stanton home.

"God bless you," he is reported to have said to callers while committing the lewd acts, prosecutors say.

According to a criminal complaint, the pastor molested a 10-year-old boy three times; 12-year-old Jane Doe #1 twice; 12-year-old Jane Doe #2 repeatedly; seven-year-old Jane Doe #3 for eight years until she was 15; and 11-year-old Jane Doe #4 for two years.

Last year, Hernandez attempted to flee to Mexico after he learned that he faced a possible life in prison sentence when authorities knew of only two alleged victims. Recently--with the aid of explicit video tapes the pastor made--investigators say they found the three additional cases. Hernandez, 42 and the leader of Faith in Action Church in Anaheim, was captured in Redlands by a bail bonds agency before he could leave the United States.

DA spokesperson Farrah Emami says that Hernandez is being held on $1 million bail.

All I can say that we must continue to pray...let this be one of many examples that Satan and his demonic forces are even in the churches, amongst everywhere else. We must lift up our Pastors and leaders and be in constant intersession for them.

We are no one to judge...God does the work just fine himself! Amen!

Just remember evil is everywhere, not expected in the church so Satan puts his demons to work where we least expect, so always keep your eye on your kids....the bible does say not to put our trust in man, Only to put our trust in God.

Peace Out and Remember don't let the devil shut your mouth.

Does anyone know why Orange County Superior Court Commissioner Clarence Haynes recalled the issued warrant of Raul Hernandez in May 2006? And where has the OCDA been since May 2006 for the charges filed in 2006. Now there are new charges filed in 2007. Something smells dirty! Too many holes in this story -- definitely not the fault of the OC Weekly. The OC Register did not bother to even report on this story.

SIENTO MUCHO POR LAS FAMILIAS AFECTADAS Y PORQUE TRISTEMENTE ASI ES QUE ACAUSA DE TODO ESTO MUCHOS NO VIENEN AL EVANGELIO, PERO UNA COSA ES MUY IMPORTANTE QUE DIOS NO TIENE CULPA DE NUESTROS ERRORES. Y ES POR ESO QUE ES MUY IMPORTANTE NO MIRAR AL HOMBRE POR QUE EL HOMBRE ESTA LLENO DE ERRORES. Y CUANDO EL HOMBRE CAE TAMBIEN CAE QUIEN LO IDOLATRA. Y A DIOS LO DEJA A UN LADO. Y SI SE ENCUENTRA EN EL CORAZON ORAR POR ESTA PERSONA HACERLO, QUE NADIE ESTA SALVO DE NO CAER DE ALGUNA MANERA U OTRA. NO EXCUSANDO LO SUCEDIDO.

I was in jail when this guy was caught. I was about 1 foot away from him when the first guy threw the first punch right in the guys face. He fell to the floor and about 20-30 more inmates beat the hell out of him. Blood sprayed on the walls all over the floor. Huge mess. The thing of all of this is that it was setup by the deputies in jail. Earlier that day in the newspaper they released an article about him with his age and full name. Usually the inmates check your name when you come in. Anyway, so through out the day while this guy was in court they were announcing his name like they didn't know where he was, which was to let the inmates know what was up. So he comes back from court, as soon as he walks in everyone gathers around him and starts asking for his paper work. And you know the rest. He was pretty badly disfigured facially afterwards, and lucky the cops broke it up before he was stabbed and killed.
