Mill Woods church takes a cross off the wall to welcome Muslims, Sikhs (Barf Alert)

They took the cross off the church wall.

That’s the detail that caught my attention when I heard about the Millbourne Community Life Centre, a church that reinvented itself as a neighbourhood meeting space, open to anyone, and a drop-in centre for youth in what is sometimes a rough neighbourhood.

These days, the world can seem so polarized. To see the centre take down such a significant religious symbol to ensure Muslim and Sikh neighbours feel welcome is a beautiful gesture.

The 1.8-metre (six-foot cross) came down off the outside wall in 2011, and it’s a decision that still doesn’t sit well with some older community members, said (Tim) Cook,the on-site director.

“It caused quite a kerfuffle. But I always say, we don’t worship the cross."

Now there’s more effort to welcome people into the building without expectations — not to convert more people to Christianity — because that’s what many believe it means to be Christian..

On the other hand, Muslims believe in forced conversion.

Silly and naive westerners do not see what the middle-easterners are doing, so I put these few words together to help them understand the sequence of their agenda.

1) Migrate,

2) infiltrate,

3) procreate,

4) indoctrinate,

5) subjugate and

6) dominate

Anything to gets Christians to deny their faith and give submission is progress. The word Islam means submit.

Invite Satanists in. Show them they are welcome to practice their faith in your house...

Well, I guess that’s a relief.

The Judeo-Christian God is NOT Allah, Buddha, Vishnu, ancestors, Gaia or any of the others which are all Satan. HE will not tolerate them nor this ‘Life Center’.

Most of the pastorettes found their “call” while “going through a divorce”.

Why do I get the feeling that it doesn’t have much to do with the Sikhs?

You forgot to tell everybody this is happening in Edmonton, Canada.

Edmonton Alberta. I lived in Millwoods for a couple of years. Typical suburbia.

Yep, I’m there too. I say it a lot because there’s a lot of people out there that haven’t heard. But yes, Isaiah 63 is awesome.

Thanks for your note and God’s blessings to you.

I worked with several that had gone through a liberal seminary. I won’t mention the name publicly nor in FReepmail but yes, I could see them, one of them in particular doing something like this.

It’s amazing what’s going on out there. Often not in a good way.

Blasphemers!

Exodus 20:3

“You shall have no other gods before[a] me.

Jehovah and Allah are NOT the same God!

Allah is a made up god that no one ever heard or saw evidence of except for the murdering, raping, pillaging, illiterate, pedophile Mohammed.

My first thought, too.

We may not “worship the cross” but it is the recognized symbol of Christ and personally, there’s no way I could have done it, for fear of that very verse.

They repudiate their religion, and Sikhs are not interested in converts.

Why not stop fooling around and just become Muslims?

This is the one thing that bothers me about Christianity....all the turn the other cheek and coexist BS that invite their Muslim enemies and Progressives roll over them. What ever happened to “Onward Christian Soldiers?”

Christ isn’t coming back a lamb when He returns... Revelations is pretty clear on that matter...

Fear God... good place to start in finding wisdom...

These people have sold themselves to the world... big mistake...
