Pastors Wayne Sapp and Terry Jones - A Disgrace!

Pastor Wayne Sapp (a man who lives up to his name) bills himself as an evangelical minister. On the 20th March he burned a copy of the Koran with that other 'pastor' Terry Jones.

This act of 'Christian witness' has tonight resulted in the death of at least seven UN workers in the Afghan city of Mazar-e Sharif. (22:14Z news update: 'at least twenty people died in the UN compound').

I cannot voice clearly enough my contempt for these two men who by their actions and the fruit of their vile and disgraceful brand of 'christian' faith have caused the death of these UN workers (and perhaps more when the news gathers pace and others react to is as perhaps Jones and Sapp desire).

These men and their brand of evil, portrayed as Christian, but in reality denying anything of Christ in the wickedness that is preached, need to be dealt with once and for all.

For those who have died, may God have mercy upon their souls and may those members of their families and their colleagues know of the shame and prayers that arise regarding this situation from true Christian believers.

And Jones and Sapp? Matthew 7 makes it plain for all to see:

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognise them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Thus, by their fruit you will recognise them."



Recognise them? know who they work for and what they really serve?

It isn't Christ!

If things weren't difficult enough on the ground, these idiots have to fuel the wicked with their own brand of wickedness.

Micah 6: 5 - 8
"What does the LORD ask of us?
Justice, mercy and humility!"

See none of that!

How do we act?
Avoiding us acting sinfully because it devalues our message, causes others to stumble and escalates the situation.

Gal 6 - correct should be 'gentle'lest we cause ourselves to sin as a response to the error (or sin) before us.
