Is this the pattern of the future of churches around the world?

Here in Cameroon, the President has taken action to close about 100 Pentecostal churches for their fraud committed on the communities. Will this spread? Looking at the battle in Egypt against the Muslim Brotherhood, and the possible step to outlaw it, it is clear that religion is becoming a messy problem for governments.

    The religions and churches of the world have all aligned themselves with earthly governments... except Jehovah's Witnesses. This unholy alliance was never God's intention and renders them cohorts with Satan in his rebellion against Jehovah God as supreme ruler of the universe.

    Jesus taught his followers to pray for God's Kingdom to come and rule over the earth and told Pilate that the Kingdom over which he would be King was not earthly but reigns from heaven. He also said his followers would take no part in worldly governments because the whole world is under the power of Satan. (1 John 5:19) Except for true Christians who would wait for God's Kingdom and shun the rule and agenda of Satan and his earthly and spirit followers.

    I believe evil will USE the bad things that ARE done in some churches

    to shut many more down. Then a precedent will be spread.

    It would be funny if it weren't tragic how I know someone who

    was OK until they went to the hospital, got worse, then went

    to LTC and died soon after.

    It was the hospital and the LTC that caused the death...should

    they close? Think there would be some uproar then?

    No, it's the churches.

    And sadly, some of it is true also, that some groups are

    excessive, extreme, and should not be allowed

    to lead people wrongly.

    I am for the bible, but not so much for all the churches.

  • Yes, that's part of the sign of the last days. Here in Hawaii, some churches have been using the public schools for their church "service". A group of citizens just sued those churches for taking advantage of public funded schools to make multi-millions of dollars with their scams.

    Source(s): 76 years of common sense, 66 years of research and 51 years of Bible study and 41 years as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. I don’t make any snap decisions.

    According to Biblical prophecies, yes, the rise of Islam will persecute the Church, and behead the members for following Jesus Christ.
