I believe in God and that "nothing is impossible with Him" and so I support the message by Ps Chris. There is nothing to hide, I also dont believe that these should be kept within the walls of the church.....instead it should be preached even to the anti-Christ. I dont believe that communist teachings are against our beliefs as Christians........ if so please let it be clear. Amandla !! Amen

I am also a believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ but this should be kept within church walss because desperate people can misinterpret it and die like it has already happened. However I disagree with Cde Lerato, Pastor Chris doesnt have to be arrested as such. to a certain extent I belive in his theory that peopl should first develop faith and then healing will take place.
