The Virus Spreads

It should come as no surprise to you that the religion virus spreads, and seems to be spreading quite well in Queensland. Pastors Norman and Barbara Miller at the “CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL RECONCILIATION AND PEACE INC” have been spreading their particular variant of the god bug since they:

planted a church in Cairns in 1996 and called it the Pentecostal Church of Reconciliation.

Planted?  Oh, I see, like a mould that grows and needs a damn good dose of vinegar to clean it up.

They are really fairly run of the mill fundie types, running a small insignificant church without the direct supervision of anyone really.  They can do as they please.  They have a vision statement on their website, and among the things that they would like to happen:

To promote RECONCILIATION of Jew with Gentile, while teaching on the Jewish roots of the Christian Faith and Israel’s role in End-time events.

There’s nothing like the End-Times to sort out the extreme nutters.  I think that this is code for wanting to make jews accept that their messiah has been and gone, it’s not clear.  However, they probably hold this strange notion that jesus will return to Jerusalem and will be pissed off if the jews aren’t running the show.

To engage in Spiritual warfare & Intercession on behalf of the saints & for end-time harvest

Warfare?  End-time harvest?

Apostle Norman and Prophetess Barbara are the leaders of the Bethany Gate Australia under ‘Jerusalem House of Prayer for All Nations’

Hang on, what happened to the title of Pastor?  Now he’s an Apostle (of what?) and she’s a Prophetess (I wonder were we can get her prophecies from).  I’m not at all sure what the Bethany Gate Australia is.

However, we believe the Lord is calling us to make a fresh start with a new local church name – Healing Rivers Church.

How can you do anything other than roll your eyes?  God is so great that he calls you to make a fresh start and change the name of your self-proclaimed church but allows people to perish in the recent floods.  Good to see what the priorities are.

But wait, there’s a video!  They both tell how important god is to Australia and finish with this:

Affirm today that the Government of this nation is on the shoulders of Jesus Christ.

Well jesus fucking christ, so that’s who’s really running the show, and I didn’t even see his name on the ballot paper.
