Group Claiming to be Former Muslims Disrupts Masses Around Nevada
Aletelia ^ | December 10, 2015 | Deacon Greg Kandra

Posted on 12/10/2015 7:36:16 PM PST by NYer

From KTNV in Las Vegas: 

Parishioners are terrified after protesters have disturbed Mass at several Catholic churches across the valley.

The group, Koosha Las Vegas, includes members who clearly identify themselves as former Muslims turned Christians. They’ve been entering churches during services, shouting at Catholics that they need to repent now or else, and filming the acts and posting them on the internet.

The videos make clear the group has been active on the Las Vegas Strip and several other places around the valley; they’re often seen with large signs and megaphones. The difference now is that they’re going into houses of worship and causing disturbances. Parishioners tell Action News it’s made them fear for their lives.

“Repent, and turn to Jesus Christ. Pope is a Satan! Pope is a Satan! Mary statue is a Satan!” the man behind the camera can be heard shouting.

The videos are taken by the very people passing out the pamphlets and shouting during mass in at least 3 incidents confirmed by police. The Catholic Diocese of Las Vegas confirmed to Action News “multiple disturbances at several of their properties”.

Never knew calling sinners to repeat was blasphemy...

Catholics are sinners...? Right ?

Lesser darkness = non- catholic...

Got it...

Like I said, I don’t agree with their methods...

Does that mean that it is time to start packing heat at church services in America?

On the one LV news I saw, it said they weren't arrested as they weren't breaking the law.

You'd think they could be charged with trespassing, or disorderly conduct, or disturbing the peace.

They are evidently an iconoclastic cult - your statues are idols, you are worshipping Mary, etc. So they have a lot of zeal and a lot of igrorance. I wonder if they are deep into doomsday, “Rapture” predictions, too.

I don't believe for one second that these so-called ex-moose-limbs are Christians. Jesus never preached these tactics and for that matter, neither did the Apostle Paul. Paul went to the synagogues because he was a Jew and that was his natural way in.... but when there, he reasoned with them to try to persuade them. It doesn't say that he went there to disrupt their services.

Acts 18:3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.

This will be good for another bump to TRUMP’s poll numbers.

Look, sport, this was not just “BOLD”. This was INVASIVE and an assault on religious liberty. Don’t play with the facts and clean up your understanding of St. Paul evangelizing then you can sit at the big table.

I checked out this group.....they’re street preachers on the Las Vegas Strip which they see as Satan’s turf....went overboard by entering the church as they were asked to leave for being “disruptive” and refused....it might be considered trespassing and also disturbing the assembly.

At any rate....seems they’ve been successful with some of the street people.....Here’s one of them preaching near the subway.....not exactly ideal way some would get the message of the Gospel out....but interesting to hear this guy belt out the gospel just the same.

There was a time when Protestants called the Pope the Scarlet Whore of Rome. That was what Martin Luther kicked off.

You might be right.....they took Islam seriously prior to their conversion to Jesus.....The congregation might better have invited them to take a seat among them instead of asking that they leave....I don’t think Jesus would have evicted them....

The diciples brought a similar event to Jesus....as follows....

Luke 9:49,50
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”.........”Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”

Well actually in that day the Popes were pretty bad characters and the church had brought into it pagan practices in order to keep and attract the barbarians of that day.......which is also why their was a revolt against the Papacy. The church also had become a political entity in it's leadership...basically aligning itself with Rome.

But these guys might better take their preaching on the streets where Mosques are!....course we know what would happen if they did!
