From KTNV in Las Vegas:Â
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”.
Jesus certainly did and then some.....he used a whip..
Could be the same atheist financiers behind the “Freedom from Religion” group that’s been trying to put Satanic crap everywhere to make their point. If they are running one false flag op as “Satanists” then they won’t be above running others as “converts to Christianity,” Westboro “Baptists,” etc. Or paying nuts to do it for them.
Note the way this got treated by the local MSM .
If this was on the agenda a reporter would have been assigned and be interviewing any cleric or parrishioners reaction as well as identifying the churches involved. But because of its possible moslem connection according to this posting it was ignored but did get a mention.
Trouble with this 3rd handed source is that it doesn’t even record the locations let alone their reactions . But if the original source, KTNV did do so, Deacon Kandra of Aletelia should have included that in his review .
** I checked out this group **
So did I. In one Parish, and I didn’t see it mentioned in the article, they were threatening to destroy a statue of Christ’s Mother. I think that is way past the Street Preacher meme.
Sounds more like Taliban Tactics to me.
But if they’re Muslim that’s what they do....destroy what they see as an idol....they simply see the same offense in Christianity....... The old testament is full of episodes where God said to tear them down ...and they did...by the same token when they moved away from God they built them back up. So it’s not hard to see why they would do so.
Muslims of this age are searching for the truth because they have come to a point where Islam doesn’t fill the void for them any longer, but Islam itself forbids questioning Islam, you simply obey without question..... so many go deeper into Islam then, and with parents encouraging such.... Those often become ‘primed’ for recruitment by terrorists for the deeper they go into Islam they become far more ‘receptive’ to the militant portions of Islam.
Others , especially if they live in Western countries, will be ‘exposed’ to Christianity and people who are Christians who are street preaching. They can listen without stepping foot in a church, which they wouldn’t generally do.
Thus they become street preachers themselves.....and thus fulfilling the Great Commission from where they stand.... Especially since it’s an act of ‘obedience’ to their New found faith.....and since Islam itself is all about obedience they would ‘naturally’ gravitate to doing so.
I personally am not real supportive of street preaching...but they do have stories of success among the street people....and some are more comfortable with that style of Preaching because they aren’t accountable to any but their small groups.
BTW..there’s a lot of preaching going on in churches today that’s far worse....
I listened to a couple of their videos as they preached....a bit raw but what they stated I found little argument with.... looks like some use those chick handouts...which we know can be mis-leading and pretty raw as well.
You can take the Muslim out of the mosque, but you can’t take the mosque out of the Muslim.
Rather than do what they did, they should be preaching the Gospel to other Muslims. Christians have to stop fighting each other.
Bingo. Well said.
VERY SCARY!!! They have a THUG BULLY Mentality, and this will spread. Muslims are known for their intimidation!
“Jesus certainly did and then some.....he used a whip..”
Apparently you’re another person who needs to learn how to read. Here is what I wrote: “Did Paul ever preach against non-Jews INSIDE their own temples?”
Non-Jews. Paul. Did you see that? You’re now claiming the people in the Temple were non-Jews. They were Jews. I asked about Paul not Jesus - but would have happily taken an example from Jesus - except that yours didn’t involve non-Jews. Hooked on Phonics. Try it.
“Never knew calling sinners to repeat was blasphemy...”
First of all, it’s “repent” not “repeat”. And denigrating what is sacred is blasphemy. Insisting that which is good is evil and must be repented of is blasphemy.
“Catholics are sinners...? Right ?”
Yes, but they were not guilty of the sin they were falsely accused of - idolatry. Thus, the people attacking them were involved in the sin of presumption against another as well as blasphemy in itself.
“Lesser darkness = non- catholic...Got it...”
Good, then repent. I’m just using your standard.
“Like I said, I don’t agree with their methods...”
Their methods are only the natural manifestation of their sinful thoughts and actions. Those are more important than their sinful methods, therefore.
These are false flag events. There is nothing “former” about these moslems. They are pretending to be Christians to divide and disrupt the Christian church.
Bingo
They are not that much different from the antiCatholics on the RF.
False
They are in bona fide devolutions of Prostestantism. They are not Moslems. Moslems cannot ascribe divinity to Jesus Christ.
Certainly. Bold, I think, is a more apt description of St. Paul than in-your-face. He didn’t mince words but would “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15).
Taqiyya. They can lie about their beliefs in such things if the ultimate goal is to further Islam by harming its enemies.
well put.
wildy confrontational cultists may change teams but without a change of heart little really changes
Do you mean that they, or even you, could really be closet Moslems and there is no test for it, nothing I could ask that could detect it ? It seems to me fascinating that you suggest this. No one would be able to distinguish a Moslem street preacher from a Protestant/Fundamentalist/Evangelical/Islamic street preacher ...
