"â€œItâ€™s not my choice to stop this, but I donâ€™t know how we can put our citizens at jeopardy and cost our city and our citizens a lot of money,â€ said Jensen"

Jensen is putting the citizens and city in deeper more terrible "jeopardy" than he can ever imagine by rejecting the Son of God.

Poor fool! This will be his "jeopardy"

Matt 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
