Don Bennett, a veteran of vigils speaks out:
 

“There were 330 people killed today (April 18) In Iraq. The bloodiest day since the days when we dropped Shock and Awe bombs on the city. Things are getting worse not better. I hope you can join us Sunday to protest this senseless slaughter in front of John MacArthur’s church Grace community.” The reason is because he has stepped out of his calling to teach the word and went on Larry King Live three times to push for the War saying it is “just retribution”. However he failed to find any scripture where Christ called for “retribution” nor to say who Jesus would bomb.

 

We feel it is important to say to Christians that there other opinions about this war among Christians, It is not only not right it is very hurtful to our country’s safety as we stir up more hatred for the United States. Nor is it worth the over 3.300 dead young American men and women nor the over 25.000 wounded many double and triple amputees. Not to mention the nearly 700.00 dead Iraqis many of them women, children and elderly.

 

If you want to join us in a silent vigil to say we respectfully disagree with John MacArthur and other leaders in the church pushing this war. Please read the attached file for directions.

-Love Don B

Celebrity Christian John MacArthur has leads this congregation into Christian Zionism. He is the editor of the “John MacArthur Study Bible.” You will meet many people carrying it, with some 1100 pages of confusing, sometimes apostate footnotes.  He is President of The Master’s Seminary, and is one of America’s most famous Judeo-Christian leaders.  John McArthur has appeared live on the Larry King Show, and on April 20, 2003, stated: “yes, I think it (Iraq) was a just war, I think, because a just war is a war of protection and a war of just retribution.” He still supports occupation.  We ask John McArthur where Jesus Christ ever authorized “retribution?”

Your presence on the public sidewalks makes a statement, and you will have a chance to talk to Christ followers who need it. Others may be in immortal danger inside, but you will be perfectly safe on the outside!
