Vandalism for Jesus: Pentecostal Christians are burning Australia’s sacred Aboriginal objects, because they believe that “traditional Aboriginal culture is a type of devil worship.”
According to ABC News Australia, “An investigation by Background Briefing has uncovered dramatic scenes in the Kimberley region, where Aboriginal followers of a Tongan-born preacher have set fire to artifacts considered sacred by many local elders, and dismantled and burned a spiritual law ground.”
Patheos.com writes, “According to the report, the vandalism of sacred objects is being conducted by the followers of Pastor Ana Makahununiu, a young Pentecostal preacher who claims that ‘traditional Aboriginal culture is a type of devil worship.’”
ABC News Australia goes on to say:
A year after Ms Makahununiu arrived, her followers built a bonfire to destroy ‘satanic’ objects they thought were cursing their community, and filmed the process…
A grainy video of the bonfire shows people cheering as objects are thrown into the flames and black smoke billows into the air.
“For many years we have been deceived by Satan and his demonic beings,” an unidentified man narrates as the fire burns.
“Now we throw away all the things that have been keeping us in bondage and slavery.”
Spread the word, and if you know anyone in the area that can help stop this madness, please reach out to them.
This Christian violence must not be tolerated!
