Regarding the Lee University prayer vigil against racism. I was there, and took this video.

I listened to every testimony and every prayer offered. NO ONE made political statements or made any reference to parties or policies. What they all did was declare that all nationalities, tribes, and tongues came from a common ancestor created in the image of God- therefore racism originates in fallen human nature – then incarnated that truth by praying and worshipping together as one family in Christ.

That ground was holy. No anger, no violence, no protest or counter-protest…just the Body of Christ standing in unity around Biblical truth. A very proud day for Lee University and for the Church of God as a whole.

Attributing the work of the Spirit I witnessed there to an antifa protest is libelous slander (and beyond)…nowhere in Scripture do I see that listed as “ministry.” Therefore, I urge the poster of those statements to repent and retract the statements in the fear of the Lord.

    Jonathan, can you switch your setting to public so everyone can see the video?

    currently the definition of antifa is aggressive anti-Trump profile. In the political world it is anti-fascism. Trump is not a Fascist.

  4. Charles, antifa started in Germany and the definition you give does not match how the group defines itself or is officially defined. So, I’m assuming that is your definition. Regardless, the meeting at Lee had absolutely nothing to do with antifa or any other political group, party or view. Even under your definition, this event was not antifa in the least. Trump was never mentioned, nor was any political party or agenda. It was a worship service with prayer and testimonies. What about that bothers you??!

    My definition of antifa is derived predominately from Charlottesville and not from Germany. The original Lee protest to have taken place Aug 28 was solidarity with Charlottesville. I posted a FB protest and subsequently it was canceled. I assumed the admin changed directions.

    Later I posted a question a question to an unofficial LU FaceBook page asking about students wearing MAGA caps and the result was strongly anti-Trump, laden with awful and insulting memes and profanity very unbecoming of LU Christian behavior. Naturally I was castigated as the ‘culprick’!

    Jonathan, this is an open forum and you are free to post (with approval) and to comment whatever you like. Comments will not be censored and there is no behavioral standards. You can be kind or unkind. At one time I tried to censor the unkind comments but that was futility. There are very few if any places for openness in any COG forums. I know because I have been censored/blocked/judged unkind too many times.

    I don’t get it. Why you peoples sayin “all races”?? There’s only one race, tha human race. This is what is wrong with America, too many peoples splittin us up by tha color of our skin.
