LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:Beware of false prophets

False-Prophets

It surprises me so much that although a lot has been said and talked about false prophets and pastors it looks like our people still believe in them.

A lot of homes have collapsed as a result of these greedy and false prophets. Prophets and pastors love money these days than they love their God.

The world was recently shocked by an incident which occurred in South Africa during a Sunday church service when the prophet ordered everyone in the church to drink Jik, a detergent which is harmful to people when consumed.

The prophet had misled people into believing that as long as they had faith in the Lord that liquid would be harmless to them. After drinking the poison worshippers began to vomit inside the church and the unlucky ones died instantly while others died on their way to hospital.

I feel the governments should severely punish such merciless prophets and pastors who cause unnecessary deaths of innocent people.

People go to church to pray and worship their God and not to be forced to drink poison as a sign to test the strength or power of God.

There was another prophet again who forced his followers to eat grass like cattle. The same prophets are always in the media lying to people saying so and so will die soon. Some politicians have lost their hard earned money and property after they were muscled that they would win the harmonised elections.

People should be urged to choose churches wisely as some of them may end up causing their deaths.

Worried resident, Bulawayo.
