Angus Buchan – It’s Time to Unite All Faiths under Rome
Angus Buchan – It’s Time to Unite All Faiths under Rome
That’s right, “It’s Time”, time to unite all faiths in a National Day of Prayer in Bloemfontein under Rome. The Vryheid Herald says: “MEN and women of faith will gather on April 22 in Bloemfontein to take part in Angus Buchan’s National Day of Prayer.” (Emphasis added)
Angus Buchan says here on Gateway news:
“We are calling one million people to attend: from every race group, every denomination and every walk of life – men, women and children. The entrance is free, no tickets will be sold, and no collections will betaken at the event.”
“We firmly believe that if our Nation stands together as one, and calls upon the Name of Jesus Christ, He will hear us and heal our nation and bring peace to our hearts and homes.”
Angus Buchan, stated in an official announcement:
“We are tired of people taking the law into their own hands. We are going to call upon the Lord to bring justice, peace and hope to our beloved South Africa. He says “If My people who are called by My name” – that is you and I. So I want to ask you to pray for us.”
Biblical meaning of the 2 Chronicles 7:14
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
The key to understanding any verse of Scripture is context. There are the verses before and after that we need to consider, and then there is the larger context of Scripture – in other words, how 2 Chronicles 7:14 fits into the overall story. We also need to look at and who is this verse talking to i.e., who is the audience. 2 Chronicles 7:14 when quoted out of context has a different meaning to when it’s quoted in context.
The 2 verses before 2 Chronicles 7:12-14 say;
“And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.” 13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
The immediate context of 2 Chronicles 7:14 shows us that this verse is about Solomon, Israel and the temple and the fact that God might send judgment upon the land in the form of drought, locusts, or pestilence. In verse 2 Chronicles 7:19-22 it says
“But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.”
Solomon would have most likely perceived this warning as the same warning mentioned in Deuteronomy 28. God made a covenant with Israel and guaranteed to look after them and make them thrive and their land thrive on condition that they obeyed Him. He likewise guaranteed to bring curses upon them in the event that they neglected to obey. Due to the covenant relationship, there was a direct link between their obedience to God and their prosperity, and their defiance of God and the hardships that followed. Deuteronomy 28 explains what blessings God would be bestowed on Israel for their obedience and the condemnations for defiance.
In the book of Judges, we see this type of blessing and cursing play out under the Law. Judges chapter 2 is frequently referred to as “The Cycle of the Judges.” Israel would fall into transgression, God would send another nation to make war with them and judge them. Israel would atone and call upon God for forgiveness. God would raise up a judge to deliver them out of their crisis. They would serve God for some time but no sooner were things going well, Israel would become wicked once again. And once again the cycle would start over.
In 2 Chronicles 7, God is reminding Solomon of the covenant He had made with Israel – if Israel obeys Him, God will bless them, if they disobey God judgement will befall them. The judgement that God bring to Israel because of their wickedness is meant to call Israel to repentance. In Chronicles 7 God is giving Solomon assurance that if Israel shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek God’s face, and turn from their wicked ways; then God will hear then from heaven, and will forgive their sin, deliver them from judgement and will heal their land.
This is soley a promise to Israel (ancient Israel and modern-day Israel), that if they repent of their wicked ways God will look after them in mighty ways. Unfortunately most Christians today have taken this verse (thanks to Angus Buchan) totally out of context and now apply it to South Africa. Angus says, if South Africa were to humble themselves, pray, seek God’s face, and repent, then God will heal our land from “malice, hatred, violence, murder and corruption in the country.” Is this the proper application and interpretation of this verse? Nope. South Africa, or even America for that matter is not Israel. We do not have a covenant with God like God has a covenant with Israel. The covenant or promise that applies to Israel does not apply to another other country.
Now it is true that if a nation is in crisis, feverent prayer by Christians that the leaders of the country find salvation through Jesus Christ is always the right thing to do – however we need to take note of one very important issue. When Israel repented they did it as an entire nation. The entire nation of Israel repented, from the people on the streets, to every business owner, to the entire government – they repented and actually turned from their wicked ways. It was not 500,000 people or Angus’ dream of a million people of faith (different denominations from Roman Catholic to Protestant) coming to God and repenting on behalf of the country’s sins. Angus Buchan says that this gathering is orchestrated by Jesus Christ Himself and after the meeting on 22 April, “South Africa will be a changed country.”
The Vryheid Herald says, “With the gathering expected to draw 1 million people, this National Day of Prayer is certainly no small feat and Buchan maintains, “The reality of the enormity of this task hit me hard… This is so huge that if God doesn’t do it, it can’t work… You cannot afford to miss this happening that Jesus Christ has orchestrated.” (Emphasis added)
No Angus Jesus Christ did not organise this, you did. God promised Israel deliverance when the entire nation repented, not 2% of the population from different Christian faiths coming together to embrace each other under the Roman Catholic Eucharist Christ, become One, and repent on behalf of the other 98% of the country.
On Gateway news it talks of Sacred Assembly – a historic gathering of 50 000 Christians at the FNB Stadium, Soweto, November 19 2016 where Angus Buchan attend, it says regarding repentance, “We respect the government, because God put them in place, but we have come here to intercede and repent on behalf of the country, which is no longer walking in God’s ways.” (Emphasis added)
Many will argue that Christians can come together and be considered the righteous remnant, that is that they now are Israel. No, God never promised anywhere in the Bible that if Christians got together and repented and prayed for the nation they reside in, that the nation filled with wicked people will be miraculously saved and the land start to will flow with milk and honey. If a national repentance took place where 98% of the population repented to Jesus Christ the Son of God and not a “Christ of unity” – God would for sure save each individual with a genuine heart and the consequences of a God fearing nation would mean that crime, hatred and corruption would naturally decrease.
Having said all that, I repeat, as Christians it is our duty to pray and ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness of our sins and help us not sin again as sin hinders us in our relationship with Jesus Christ and drives us away from God (Hebrews 12:1). And we are to pray for those in authority, that govern our nation (1 Timothy 2:1-2). However the Bible does not promote political, or economic salvation of any nation other than Israel. So there is no guarantee God will deliver South Africa as Angus Buchan has so emphatically stated, that South Africa WILL be “a changed nation” after the 22nd April 2017. Just the fact alone that Angus Buchan and his team of “It’s Time’ers” are promoting another gospel and a “Christ of unity” for all Christian faiths under one banner, nothing, I repeat, nothing good can come of it. What will happen is the Roman Catholic church will be so much closer to establishing it’s One World Catholic (Universal) Religion.
What God does guarantee is not a national salvation but a personal salvation (Romans 8:1) of each person in South Africa if they realise they are lost sinners without Jesus Christ, sincerely repent of their sin and turn from their wicked ways. If most of South Africa actually got genuinely saved, crime would most certainly diminish. What Angus Buchan is doing with his Mighty Men Conferences and “It’s Time” National Day of Prayer is the direct opposite to what God commands. The Word of God commands us to come out of Babylon, not merge back into her.
Revelation 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”
Jeremiah 51:6 “Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.”
Angus Buchan is using the fear of “malice, hatred, violence, murder and corruption in the country” to lure everyone into a trap, a trap to accept The Christ over Jesus Christ. In the Roman Catholic Church this Christ (also called the Eucharist Christ) hangs on their cross, dead, constantly dying for the sins of mankind over and over and over again.
The Roman Catholic Church and Co-Reformation
During the 1540’s, a Counter-Reformation started by the Catholic Church in response to the protestant reformation. But the last decades are proving things have drastically changed. “One could almost say that the Catholic Church has set out from the path of the Counter-Reformation onto that of the Co-Reformation.” says Gerhard Feige to Luther2017.de. He is a Catholic ecumenical officer Bishop, in Magdeburg, Germany. 2 (Emphasis added)
Angus says here
“The visible unity of the church (with each other and with God) speak very strongly to the world. The Holy Spirit then brings conviction. But if we remain passive, we have no impact and nothing changes. It is when we draw up, UNITE and gather in a Holy Assembly, that a message of new direction is loud and clear. And this is only the beginning of change. Only a united church can heal a divided nation. #BeTheChange”
There is only One Way that I know of, and that is Jesus Christ the Son of God. (John 14:6) What could this “new direction” possibly be? The new direction is headed right back to Rome and it’s Universal Religion called the Roman Catholic Church. What “change” is Angus Buchan speaking about? When all the world’s churches and faiths “UNITE and gather in a Holy Assembly”, we will revert back to the Dark Ages where the Roman Catholic church will rule the world with iron teeth and join Islam to behead those who chose Jesus Christ the Son of God over The Christ.
Angus believes in the holy Catholic Church:
Gateway news says here where Angus Buchan attend the “Sacred Assembly – a historic gathering of 50 000 Christians at the FNB Stadium, Soweto, on Saturday (November 19 2016).”
“Then all at the Sacred Assembly knelt on their knees and prayed the Apostles’ Creed as one, in faith, together with Uncle Angus.
“I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended into hell.
The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
He is seated on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit;
the holy catholic church;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.
Amen!”
It has been argued by Angus Buchan that he was a Catholic as a young man and went to Catechism, and he says that he is now Protestant. Fair enough, millions of Christians were once Catholic and then out rightly rejected Roman Catholicism and it’s false god’s and asked Jesus Christ the Son of God for forgiveness of their sins for believing in such a terrible doctrine. But in this prayer Angus says he “believes in the holy Catholic Church”, he was an adult when he said this back in Nov 2016, not a child or young man. Surely Angus Buchan you should renounce the Catholic Church entirely? Angus also says that the Catholic church is not Roman Catholicism which is a big fat lie. The Catholic Church is the Roman Catholic Church – even the Roman Catholic church says so, and who are we to argue with them.
The Apostles Creed
“This is the Apostles Creed, as used in the Roman Catholic Church’s liturgy.
This creed is considered to be a faithful summary of the Apostles’ teaching. It is the ancient baptismal symbol of the Church at Rome. (See Catechism, 194.)”
See here for the Roman Catholic Apostle’s Creed prayer the EXACT prayer that Angus Buchan prayed.
Rome throughout history and Rome in the End Times
The saying that history repeats itself is an understatement when it comes to understanding the past, present and future of the Roman Catholic Church. The bible says “…spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” (1 John 4:3) Rome was already in existence when Jesus Christ was on earth, they tried to kill Jesus at His birth, they conquered most of the civilized world and Rome is again making her grand entrance as a REVIVED ROMAN EMPIRE to conquer the world again; and is currently uniting all denominations and faiths into a One World Religion and Rome and will bring tribulation unlike the world has ever seen during the coming 7 year Tribulation.
Matthew 24:21 “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.“
Rome:
Daniel 2 describes four kingdoms (or the 4 beasts out of the sea), the last kingdom would be in power until Jesus Christ returns.
Daniel 2:32 “this image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze”
- The kingdom of Babylon – the golden head.
- Medo-Persia, the silver chest, conquered Babylon.
- Greece, the bronze waist, conquered Medo-Persia.
Daniel 2:40 “the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything”
4. The Roman Empire was the most powerful of all, and it conquered and controlled most of the civilized world, trampling over people, murdering everyone who would not bow down to Rome. Millions of Christians and Jews were persecuted, even Pagans were murdered who refused to accept the Papacy thinking it was in fact Christian when it was not.
Islam:
Daniel 2:41-43 “the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it. And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay“
The Strong’s Hebrew word for both “mixed” H6151 and “they shall mingle themselves” H6151 and H1934 is:
H6151 עֲרַב `arab (ar-ab’) v.
1. to commingle
H1934 ×”Ö¸×•Ö¸× ×”Ö¸×•Ö¸×” hava’ (hav-aw’) ((Aramaic) orhavah (Aramaic) {hav-aw’}) v.
1. to exist
The clay represents the Arabs; Islam and all Muslims, who were the great Ottoman Empire, who actually worked with Rome and the Roman Catholic Church to control land that had been previously occupied by the Roman Empire. Rome and the Ottomon Empire worked together as they killed Christians and Jews, but they were also at war with each other during the Crusades. As the Bible states, iron and clay don’t mix well. In the last days (that is now) Rome and Islam are working together, but in the end they will turn on each other.
Pope Francis delivers his Easter message and blessing “urbi et orbi” (to the city and the world) from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican April 16. (CNS/L’Osservatore Romano)
The antichrist: “in place of Christ”
1 John 4:3 “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.”
What is still to come but is already in the world?
The word ‘antichristos’ is the Greek word for Antichrist. Translated into English it means Vice-Christ or Vicar of Christ, which the Pope has claimed as his title.
In 1303 A.D. Pope Boniface VIII said in his infamous Bull ‘Unam Sanctam’, “We declare, assert, define and pronounce to be subject to the Roman Pontiff is to every creature altogether necessary for salvation… I have the authority of the King of Kings. I am all in all, and above all, so that God Himself and I, the Vicar of Christ, have but one consistory, and I am able to do almost all that God can do. What therefore, can you make of me but God?” Pope Boniface VIII, Papal bull Unam sanctam, 1302 A.D.
Pope Pius X declared, “The Pope is not simply the representative of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, he is Jesus Christ Himself, under the veil of the flesh. Does the Pope speak? It is Jesus Christ who is speaking, hence, when anyone speaks of the Pope, it is not necessary to examine but to obey.” Pope Pius X, Evangelical Christendom, Vol. 49, Jan 1. 1895 A.D., p. 15, “the organ of the Evangelical Alliance,” published in London by J. S. Phillips.
Pope Pius XII said, “…recognize the Holy, Catholic, Roman Church to be the only true Church of Jesus Christ, outside of which neither sanctity nor salvation can be found. Call them to the unity of the one fold, granting them the grace to believe every truth of our holy faith and to submit themselves to the Supreme Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth.” Pope Pius XII, The Raccolta, Benzinger Brothers, Boston, 1957 A.D., No. 626.
Spiritual Racists
In February 2014, Bishop Palmer gained notoriety after Pope Francis sent him as a special envoy to a Charismatic Evangelical Leadership Conference hosted by Kenneth Copeland.
Bishop Tony Palmer, who is a personal friend of Pope Francis I, is now labeling Christians “Spiritual Racists,” if they don’t partner with the Catholic Church.
He says that refusing to unite with the Roman Catholic Church is “the sin” against the cross of Christ. In other words, they are rejecting Christ’s will and they are heretics.
So while Pope Francis I is drawing Christians, Muslims and all religions to the Papal Church in the name of peace and unity…
Bishop Tony Palmer, who no doubt is a Jesuit like Pope Francis, is starting the process of demonizing the true followers of Christ.
In their New World Order, all religions will be joined together, and the enemy of the world will be those who will not bow down to the image of the Pope, who will not obey their commands. The enemy will be those who are marked by Christ, and not the antichrist. —http://christianitybeliefs.org/end-times-deceptions/pope-francis-envoy-bishop-tony-palmer-is-calling-the-true-followers-of-christ-spiritual-racists/

Hi Tom/Deborah,did you listen to his prayer where he mentioned that God made a renewed covenant with the people.I was wondering what Angus thought this covenant was.

You can also check this facebook link. My concern regarding “praise”sang to Angus.

Only just discovered this website.
Just a quick discussion point that may or may not open a can of worms.
I was taught that Israel was the new name that was given to Jacob and not to a piece of land we know as Israel.
This naming identified his tribe for a particular purpose, the place on the map be called Judea
not the piece of land we today know as Israel given by the league of nations and populated with Zionists.
Dear Deb; Thanks you for warning the church about false teachers and Pastors. Please send me lick for Angus Baccan I was taken in by is movie “Faith Let Potatoes”
Act 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Act 20:30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Angus Buchan has a message that is equally striking and no different from the earliest heretics and liars that spread “another gospel” in the early church. The apostles had to deal with the heresies and strongly refuted the falsehood spread that even caused leading believers to act differently.
Mr. Buchan does not preach Christ crucified. He does not offer salvation to any attendees but instead preaches a message of works.
He does not give credit to the Holy Spirit, God the Father and the Son as well as the Living Word, to transform the individual’s life but instead asks fallible men to take on the task of changing South Africa.
As we are instructed to test all things, I would like all the followers of Angus Buchan and his ministry, to test the results of all his super meetings – include Mighty Men 1, 2, 3 etc and the Last one in Bloem – Mighty Men Reloaded 10.0, as well his meetings in Israel – and see if what he has promised has come to past.
South Africa has just been downgraded. Racism is on the increase. Crime is on the increase. Corruption and fraud is on the increase and for the Anti-ANC and Anti-Black promoters – in every race group. Crimes against women and Children are on the increase. Child porn arrests are on the increase. Drug abuse is on the increase, and let me clarify it is effecting every “race” group, every class group.
Christianity is not on the increase, instead paganism is on the increase. We find more and more Sangomas being initiated. More and more African Tradition Churches as being established – The Shembe Church has a following of 7 million members. Mosques are going up everywhere. NG Churches closing their doors and the false churches taking up their spaces.
I will not go on. The stats are very disturbing. Can Angus not preach repentance. Can’t he call a nation to true repentance where each and every individual is accountable to God, where the fruit of repentance is visible – Jonah 3:7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
Jon 3:8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Jon 3:9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
Jon 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
I find no precedence in the Bible for the ministry of Angus.
Men and women will stand before Christ and account for all they did in the flesh. They will have no representative to assist them nor will there be any mitigating circumstances. It should stand to reason then that we will test everything and hold up the actions of all men and women who prophecy in the Name of the Lord to the Light of Scripture.
God Bless the apologists, who expose the liars and who teach righteousness and truth. (Truth is verifiable and can be tested and will always have the same outcome in any situation or location).
Barland Johnson
Those who justify Angus are blind to truth…how can you follow anybody who tells lies in proven circumstances on earth let alone spiritual guidance…he’s a hypocrite and needs to repent and put this right first…it’s really scary how blind the church has become…follow no man and only Christ…this is real spiritual warfare.
Apostasy and false teachings of word of faith and similar alliances worldwide is spiritual warfare that happens in the church even with those most dear and closest to us…Jesus warned us of this…even He had it in His siblings…if Angus is really genuine in his conversion he needs to fix these intimate things in life that mean a lot to God and others and it begins with repentance and away with false and deceptive pride.
I pray for this…nothing more I would love to see a broken and repentant Angus and Jill set free and begin a ministry of forsaking the sins of the past and fixing relationships on earth and preaching the true gospel of repentance.
Christ said; “Follow Me!” Not Follow Angus.
I left my Catholic schools in the mid 1960s as a Bible illiterate. I was brought up in Protestant Scotland–which may be why I took it for granted that the Bible was the Word of God. Though, even then, in my first dealings with the Bible, I had a superstitious idea that if I kept it under my pillow that would give me peace! Even when I had my first Bible, I still had a Catholic superstitious way of thinking.
At my schools I was taught nothing of the Reformation either, though it is claimed that the Reformation made Scotland. But, alas, Scotland today has forgotten what gave it liberty from popery. And that was the Bible.
Yet, when Catholics become Christians they can see that Catholicism is not Christian and former Catholics like Maria Monk, Charles Chiniquy, Michael FitzGerald McCarthy, Alberto Riviera, David Yallop, John Cornwell, &c, have done their best to expose Catholicism. (Forget papal doctrines, the history of the Crusades, Inquisition, involvement with the Nazis, &c, would make one think that history alone would wake people up, showing popery for the vile thing it is. But it doesn’t.) Yet people like Angus Buchan want to pull people back to the Vatican.
It’s incredible that any person with a knowledge of Scripture can think that the Catholic church is Christian. A person with a knowledge of pagan practices, who isn’t even a Christian, can see where Catholic worship and doctrines come from. It is utterly baffling, then, that Angus Buchan would want anything to do with popery.
Alas, there are many Bible prophecies that mention the apostasy of the last days. Perhaps Angus Buchan is a clear pointer to that. If so, he himself doesn’t seem to see it.
:thankyou: Martin!

Hi Vanessa, You have quoted a lot of passages from Scripture. The question, however, is, what do you believe? For instance, you said “No one is able to deceive the Elect, the Children of God,” What do you mean by that?
Christ speaking,
Son, be not moved with the fine and subtle sayings of men, for the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power.
1 Corinthians. 4; 20
Attend to My words, which inflame the heart and enlighten the mind, which excite to compunction and afford manifold consolations.
Never read anything that you may appear more learned or more wise. Study rather to mortify your vices, for this will
avail you more than the knowledge of many hard questions.
When you have read and shall know many things, you must always return to one beginning.
I Am He Who teaches men knowledge, and I give a more clear understanding to little ones than can be taught
by man. Psalm 94; 12. Luke 18: 15 -17;
He to whom I speak will quickly be wise, and will make great progress in spirit.
Woe to them that inquire of men after many curious things, and are little curious of the way to serve Me.
Luke 18: 9 – 14.
The time will come when Christ, the Master of masters, the Lord of angels, shall appear to hear the lessons of all men,
that is to examine the consciences of every one.
And then He will search Jerusalem with candles and the hidden things of darkness shall be brought to light –
1 Cor. 4; 5.
I am He that in an instant elevates a humble mind to comprehend more reasons of the eternal truth than could be
acquired by ten years of study in the schools.
I teach without noise of words, without confusion of opinions, without ambition of honour, without contention
of arguments.
I teach to despise earthly things, to loathe things present, to seek and relish things eternal, to flee honours, to endure
scandals to repose all hope in Me, to desire nothing out of Me, and above all things, ardently to love Me.
For a certain person, by loving Me entirely, learned divine things and spoke wonders.
He profited more by forsaking all things than by studying subtleties.
But to some I speak things common, to others things more particular; to some I sweetly appear in signs and figures,
to others in great light I reveal mysteries.
The voice of the books is the same, but it teaches not all men alike; because I within Am the teacher of truth, the
searcher of hearts, the discerner of thoughts, the promoter of actions, distributing to everyone as I judge fitting.
The Imitation of Christ. – Book 3: Chapter 43.

Ahhh how sweet Vanessa Moroldo, you quote a Catholic monk’s devotional, who nogal claims his words are Christs. How fitting for this article.

Jy is baie reg. Die NG Kerk het daardie geloofsbelydenis by die Roomse Katolike Kerk gekry. Die Roomse Katolieke gebruik mos ‘n “rosery” kraletjies om hulle aan gebede te herhinder. die belangrikste gebed is die GeloofsBelydenis. Woord vir Woord soos hy in hierdie kerke gebruik word. MAW dis ‘n roomse Katoliekegebruik die NG kerk is n susterskerk van Rooms. baie van hul gebruike
This article has the color of paranoia. The word ‘catholic’ in the creed is small letter c, which means universal. It does not mean Roman Catholic. The Anglican church, which is reformed, also uses the same creed.
Luke. Exactly! And that’s the whole problem. Roman Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans, Calvinists, and many other Christian groups all use the same creed. It’s a nice tool to promote ecumenism. Can you show me in the creed where the Gospel is presented clearly?
Ek kan nie anders nie – ek deel hierdie graag met julle. Toe ek dit die eerste keer raakgeloop het, het ek hardop voor my Here gehuil – vir my is dit so waar van die kerk van ons tyd [ Vir die wat vra sal ek deel waar ek daaraan kom]
Jan Amos Comenius 1592 – 1670
A quote from his book: “One Thing Needful”
The great number of teachers is the reason of the multitude of sects, for which we shall soon have no names left. Each church reckons itself as the true one or at least the purest, truest part of it, while among themselves they persecute each other with the bitterest hatred. No reconciliation is to be hoped for between them; they meet enmity with irreconcilable enmity. Out of the Bible they forge their different creeds; these are their fortresses and bulwarks behind which they entrench themselves and resist all attacks. I will not say that these confessions of faith – for that they are so we can admit in most cases – are bad in themselves. They become so, however, in that they feed the fire of enmity; only by putting them away altogether would it be possible to set to work on healing the wounds of the Church… To this labyrinth of sects and various confessions another belongs; the love of disputation.
What is attained by it? Has a single learned strife ever been settled? Never. Their number has only been increased. Satan is the greatest sophist; he has never been overcome in strife of words…In divine service the word of men is usually heard more than the Word of God. Each one chatters as he pleases or kills time by learned disquisitions and disproving the views of others. Of the new birth and how man must be changed into the likeness of Christ to become partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4), scarcely anything is said. Of the power of the keys the Church has almost lost the power of binding, only the power of loosing remains…The sacraments, given as symbols of unity, of love and of our life in Christ, have been made the occasion of bitterest conflict, a cause of mutual hatred, a center of sectarianism….
In short, Christendom has become a labyrinth. The faith has been split into a thousand little parts and you are made a heretic if there is one of them you do not accept…What can help? Only the one thing needful; return to Christ, looking to Christ as the only Leader, and walking in His footsteps, setting aside all other ways until we all reach the goal, and have come to the unity of the faith (Eph 4:13). As the Heavenly Master built everything on the ground of the Scriptures, so should we leave all particularities of our special confessions and be satisfied with the revealed Word of God which belongs to us all. With the Bible in our hand we should cry: I believe what God has revealed in this Book; I will obediently keep His commands; I hope for that which He has promised. Christians, give ear! There is only one Life, but Death comes to us in a thousand forms. There is only one Truth, but Error has a thousand forms. There is only one Christ, but a thousand Antichrists…So thou knowest, O Christendom, what is the one thing needful. Either now turnest back to Christ or thou goest to destruction like the antichrist. If thou art wise and wilt live, follow the Leader of Life.
“But you, Christians, rejoice in your being caught up,…hear the words of your Heavenly Leader, ‘Come unto Me.’…Answer with one voice, ‘Even so, we come’.”
Thank you Deborah for a very comprehensive study. I was there on 22 April 2017 at the IT’S TIME gathering. The question was asked there: Can a nation been born in one day? Isaiah 66:8. I did not go to hear a man. I came to hear God, and yes He was there, and I heard Him. It was a supernatural day and it was as if we were in an air-conditioned room
The answer to this question came almost exactly 3 years later, at the onset of the “Covid-19 pandemic”. Ironically Angus Buchan was one of the first patients. He became quite ill and all the church communities were united in their fear of this “pandemic”.
Suddenly God showed me this is it! IT’S TIME!
The nation is the Church. By becoming united through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the clear answer to the pandemic of fear and death, the true church could have been born anew.
I was excited and was expecting Angus and other church leaders to confront the world with mankind’s eternal life in Christ through faith alone. Nothing happened and everyone bowed before the statue of fear(Daniel 3).
So, where are we now?
We know that the Son of God came to give us the understanding to know Him who is true; and we are in Him … 1John 5:20. This guarantees the spiritual unity of the body of Christ. A physical unity is impossible on this earth. Yet Satan endeavors to do just that since Eden and Babel etc.
The Covid-19 “pandemic ” opened a new era for the body of Christ. It will stand up against the fear of death and will be prosecuted even unto death, like never before. We will be forced to take a stand for Jesus, the Son of Man. I’m excited. Shalom.
