Video of Koran being read in church during TV service
Catholic Church Conservation ^ | 18 June 2012 | Cathcon

Posted on 06/17/2012 6:58:24 PM PDT by Gillibrand

There was controversy in advance of a televised church service on 17 June on ZDF (Cathcon- German equivalent of BBC). The reason: during the service of the Evangelical Free Church congregation (Baptist) in Kamp-Lintfort work where Christians and Muslim work alongside eachother in the mines, there will be a reading from the Koran. As the Baptist pastor, André Carouge explained, Christians and Muslims have maintained close relationships in Kamp-Lintfort since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 in the United States.

I think that’s sweet. Let me know when the reading of the Bible in a mosque is going to be broadcast.

“Evangelical Free Church congregation (Baptist)”

I don’t think so.

So they are pretending Allah is God now...and I suppose the pervert Mohammad is the co-Messiah. I think the false gods thingy addresses this latest NWO fad.

**Evangelical Free Church congregation (Baptist)**

Sad that even the evangelical baptists are turning away from God.

Here's the page where the article is from. It does say Baptist.

It should be read in church, especially this section...

Compare to...

Koran
Al Fatah 48:29
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking bounty from Allah and [His] pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their description in the Torah. And their description in the Gospel is as a plant which produces its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow firm and stand upon their stalks, delighting the sowers - so that Allah may enrage by them the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward.

***

Compare to...

Revelation 13
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration...

Ergo, you get marked in your forehead from bowing to Mecca.

The Evangelical Free Church has been sliding liberal for the past decade.

It is going the way of the Presbyterian USA church and is doomed already.

It isn't Baptist, by the way.

There's a "Union of Evangelical Free Church Congregations in Germany" which is a member of the "Baptist World Alliance" and the "European Baptist Federation," according to Wikipedia.

If the author is mistaken, it sounds like he came by his error honestly.

This is totally stupid.

Just because some guy named Katholischer Nachrichtendienst stated that a German church called “Evangelical Free Church” is (Baptist), suddenly the Baptist Church endorses reading the Koran in their service.

Total Nonsense.

You folks are constantly looking for something this dumb to stir the pot.

I will not tell you what I really think about this because even Jim Robinson might boot me off of Free Republic.

WHOA pardner.

I just made a comment that I don't know what churches are or call themselves in Germany.

I was raised in a Baptist General Conference church, so I know Baptist doctrine. True Baptists don't believe the Koran or equate the Bible with the Koran.

The pastor from this church is watering down the Gospel (if he's even preaching the true Gospel) to appease the mooselimbs.

I will OPENLY STATE, that there is a person on this thread who posts articles just like this one, specifically to stir up disension amongst those who are not of the "TRUE" church.

Instead of finding commonality to rally and fight against common enemies. He uses posts similar to this one to make generalizations about ALL denominations that aren't his ALMIGHTY and ALL KNOWING one.

Oops, my mistake, the person I claimed to be on THIS thread ISN'T.

They were on an earlier one about the same topic.

I posted a link to the article quoted from (that makes the claim Baptist). The link that the thread poster posted does not cover the article.

You said the article didn't say anything about Baptist, I just gave you the proper link showing it does.

OT, but this will make your day:

Christian protestors taunt Arab-Americans with pig’s head on a stake at Detroit festival

Christian missionary groups crashed an Arab-American festival on Friday night armed with a pig’s head on a stake and placards making bigoted remarks and promoting the hatred of Islam.

Tensions flared when the protesters, from an organisation called the Bible Believers, attended the annual Arab International Festival in Dearborn, Michigan, waving signs with slogans such as ‘Islam is a religion of blood and murder’ and ‘Muhammad is a liar, false prophet, murderer, child molesting pervert’.

Another placard read: ‘Repent, be converted, that your sins may be blotted out’ and one missionary shouted ‘You’re gonna burn in hell’ to a group of Arab-American boys, according to Detroit Free Press.
