Privatise Jesus

The Friends of Jacob Zuma Trust, an organisation of supporters of the president, has accused the SA Council of Churches of "trying to privatise Jesus Christ and turning Christianity into a cult".

This is after the church body objected to Zuma's renewed declaration that the ANC would rule until the Second Coming.

The ANC also defended the president's remarks, saying they should be seen in context.

"We refuse, like many other South African Christians, to allow the SACC to conduct themselves as if they own Jesus Christ. It has become very clear that this religious body wants to turn the Christian religion into some sort of cult belonging to a particular religion," said the trust in Gauteng.

Once again i am at a loss. I do not undersand this train of thought. Look at the last paragraph, that's a convoluted statement. It IS a religion. How can a religion turn itself into a cult belonging to that same religion?

What we are seeing on the surface, i believe, is the inevitable result of political rhetoric, or rather, an extreme example of. It's confused, confusing and distorted. This is something the anc has been doing from the start, taking marxist political rhetoric, mixing in their version of "sounding intelligent" and using it to propose things whose true purpose is suspect.

The underlying message is even worse. Why attack the church? Perhaps zumas litte stint in rhema gave him ... wait ... he already HAS delusions of grandeur.
Oh dear ....

But again, zuma is a popularist, and his large support base includes many christians, of varying faiths. Politically it's not smart. He even claims christianity as "his".

All ican add, is that zuma is a puppet, literally. He is doing and saying what he is told by TPTB. That's the scary part. Much of South Africa's recent history has been carefully planned and manipulated, an social experiment, rather, a series of.

I keep getting back to Roman Law, and it's use as the basis for our laws. Many boasted that the SA constitution and laws post 1994 were the best in the world. This was arguable, yes. But those laws were based entirely on western laws and precepts, and was highly refined to incorporate "human rights". While the Magna Carta contained the basics, the political correctness of sex, sexual preference, colour, creed, religions, and so on is fairly new to politics and law.

So we have this "masterpiece" of legal fiction, a shining example of what was conceived thousands of years ago (to oppress) refined and reworked under the eyes and direction of the world, incorporating the latest "thoughts and ideas" of this modern society.

See how utterly it has fallen.
