So much for freedom of religion and conscience. I remember Justice Ginsberg saying she thought the South African constitution was so much better and up to date than ours...
They’ll be going after mosques next.
Oh look, I made a funny
The director of a missionary group to Africa spoke at our church yesterday. He was refreshingly honest saying that while you might hear of the gospel spreading in Africa, about 99% of the “Christian” churches there are really prosperity gospel churches teaching a false gospel intersperse with other religions.
I don’t know much about the Dutch Reformed Church or what is going on, but at least they seem to want to do the right thing. It is only a matter of time for the US.
If you listen to a lot of urban gospel, there is quite a bit of “God is going to pay your light bill”.
And muzzies? they throw gays off high buildings? going after them too?
I join you in your prayers, YouGoTexasGirl. The church should not condone that which is offensive to God.
When it comes to a choice of adherence to man’s laws or adherence to God’s Word, always choose God.
99% might be too high. Maybe 98%. :-)
I know there are more Reformed Christian’s in Central Africa than in the US. When someone wants to join a Reformed Church they are required to undergo two years of catechisis before they are allowed to join. Have to purge all of those tribal religions out of the new Christian.
Oh. I just turned on John MacArthur’s “Strange Fire” conference on YouTube.
I’m home sick today and watching it, good stuff.
The PC disease has affected the entire world... Probably started with “alcoholism” is a disease!
Its not the Church, it is God! You are ruling against the Word! I doubt that God is amused!
That is because they are people doing something wrong and want the church to bless it.
Africa returns to its roots... South Africa will be Zimbabwe in less than 2 decades.
Among other things this ruling is meant to drive as many whites as possible out of the country.And that goes double for the whites that the “natives” hate the most...the Afrikaners.
I've been to SA twice...once in the 80s and once in 2017.My recent stay was in an affluent suburb of Johannesburg called "Sandton" (which has a write up in Wikipedia) and even there there were high walls,electrified fences and signs everywhere saying "Protected By XYZ Security...Armed Response".
And I do mean *everywhere*!
I was there in 2016, was in Capetown and Johannesburg as well as some time at a Private Resort/Reserve near Kruger... I also got over to see Victoria Falls from the Zambia side... no way I would go into Zimbabwe.
South African is a beautiful country.... if you haven’t been to Sub Saharan Africa, is is worth doing... seeing the fauna of that Continent in its natural/semi natural state is amazing.
However, there is no doubt in my mind, that finding a white South African will be rarer than finding an African American on a US Ski Slope in short order, it is clear that ignorant and hatred are taking over there... Its only a matter of when, not if, that the slaughters will begin, sadly....
I hope I am wrong, but what I saw there, and witnessed since, leaves me to believe, if you are White and in SA... you are at the point where you know you need to get out, or accept the fact you will be killed by a mob and die there... only a matter of when it will happen.
“completely renounce their sin in order to become a member.“
What sin? My husband & I attended a Dutch Reformed Church for a short time when we had not learned doctrine yet. We saw ‘reformed’ and thought it would be as the teaching of R.C. Sproul on the radio. Ha, ha, ha. Babes. Anyway, all we heard was God loves you. But John the Baptist, then Jesus preached again & again, Repent! The true message of salvation has not changed. Repent and believe. There is no salvation without repentance. You are correct in saying that to be a member (of the true church) repentance is required.
