Five So-Called Christians Thrown Off a Boat
Long ago, Landover Baptist realized Jesus did not want our church to be bring strange looking people into the faith. We have steadfastly refused to send missionaries to parts of the non-white world. It baffles me that other Christians cannot see things as Jesus commands them.
Most readers will not have heard of the country in Africa called Uganda. It is in Darkest Africa. Why would anyone want to go there are harvest Christians there when there are so many unsaved white people right next door? For whatever reason, groups do send missionaries there. This past August some of them got their comeuppance. They were on a boat headed to a remote area to start a church. One of them started preaching to unsaved Ugandans on the boat. Reports are the group got tossed out to drown. They might have been eaten; we don't know for sure. We at LBC will continue to serve Jesus by staying away from savages in other countries. 5 Christian evangelists thrown off boat and drowned in Uganda | World News (christianpost.com) |
Re: Five So-Called Christians Thrown Off a Boat
I'm rather uncertain about this "End Time Word Ministry church" given the circumstances as reported. Were they knocked on the head first? It sounds like they were made to sort of walk the plank one at a time. The lake is only 13 to 18 feet deep, it said—as though that made it remarkable they didn't survive—whereas their being 200 or so yards from shore was the determining factor. Really? What sort of missionary is being sent to Uganda these days? That's really quite a short distance, especially if your life depends on getting there. Even if you got tired, you could float for a few minutes. To what extent you'd be eaten, I don't know. The main threat here is bats and mosquitos. Other nearby lakes do have crocodiles and since they're connected, it is a possibility.
God is Jesus. Therefore when Jesus said this it is God speaking. Mark 16 It's fairly straightforward to determine which cohort are in the same category as Paul and which are not. |

Thank you, Sister Mitza, for pointing out the correctness of Landover Baptist's refusal to send missionaries to Darkest Africa. The entire incident highlights the need for missionaries, sent by other denominations, to learn how to swim before going there. |

Mr. Mayor, the drowning death of some so-called Christians in Uganda is alarming but not overly so. The seas play a major role in the Gospels of Mark et al and as a True believer (in Himself) Jesus was fully capable of commanding the waters and pacifying the storms; this is how we know He is God. Walking on water or parting the seas are tools of the trade that could have saved these men, if they truly believed.

Is it still OK to travel to Africa, for a safari maybe or to buy interesting fabric? For those fond of rail travel, and given the relaxed character of other passengers, there were some exciting trips possible too. I mean to and from the safari experience itself. Now, sadly, that is inadvisable. Helicopters need to be booked in advance and just to be sure, probably best to charter one. The main safari destinations accommodate helicopters very adequately.
The fabrics are very nice but I won't post samples here – it's easy enough to search African fabric & somewhat off topic. Family members need to be alerted to the dangers of lip plates, neck rings, bones through the nose and earlobe stretching, however. These are explicitly prohibited by God and anyone endorsing them or thinking they look "edgy" are effectively acknoledging the standard of some other god, in Africa always a demon, especially if a nun is manning the kiosk. They DO provide missionaries but where God would improve the lot of natives, where nuns are involved things always get worse. |

The Bible tells us that we can walk on water if we have enough faith. I myself often walk on water when I cross the pond on my father's property. So it's impossible for True Christians™ to drown. Obviously these missionaries were not True Christians™.
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. Matthew 5:25-39 |
