burnings

I recently saw an article about a church burning. No, this wasn’t because it was a black congregation. But it was because of their beliefs. And it was right here in the U.S.A.

Lussier, a student at a bible institute, stole from and burned down churches that didn’t meet his definition of Christianity. This is someone who doesn’t understand the meaning of Christianity and can’t read the Bible for all of his prejudices. Paul looked at the different altars in the marketplace before he began to preach. And then Paul used an example from one of those same worship places to begin the conversion process. He didn’t go around burning down the places of those with whom he disagreed.

Christians need to join together in crying shame on those who profess the name but do not act in accordance with the one the claim. Shame on you Mr. Lussier and shame on those whose teaching led you to burn down a house of worship.
