South Carolina Church Vandalized, Islamist Messages Painted On Walls
BY Herschel Smith

ANDERSON CO., SC (WSPA) – Deputies are looking for the person or persons responsible for vandalizing a church in Anderson County.
The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office says someone broke windows and spray painted messages on the side of Midway Presbyterian Church on Midway Road.
According to deputies, the windows in the church were over 125 years old.
The words “SUBMIT TO GOD THRU ISLAM” and “MUHAMMED IS HIS PROPHET” were spray pained in black onto the siding of the church.
Elders of the church tell 7News they did not let the act of vandals disturb their services and lunch on Sunday.
“It was very disturbing because we feel like this was an individual act and we don’t hold any religious group responsible for it,” said Bob Harrell. “We think it most likely was some misguided young people. However, we do take it very seriously and we’ll do everything we can to assist law enforcement.”
As I’ve said, prepare now.
If you are a member of a church and attend worship regularly, do you have a security plan? No, having an armed cop on duty isn’t a security plan. Do you have a number of armed congregants in the building? Have you trained together as a group? Do you have overwatch? Do you have security cameras? Do you have patrols? I’m talking about 24/365 security, or a recognition that if you don’t have that kind of security on your building, as the country trends towards Europe, you may lose the building.
Tomorrow will be too late. This may be a prank, but it may not be. You live in a different American than what your mother and father knew.
It didn’t take long after the church abdicated its responsibility to be salt and light before American went to hell. I’ve often thought that premillennial dispensationalism (the belief that God has two different people, the Jews and the church, saved in different ways, with the church pulled out of the world in the “rapture” before the real fireworks begin), with its belief that “you don’t polish brass on a sinking ship,” was the best crafted lie in history to neuter and render the church powerless and lifeless.
I once asked a close friend, who is a dispensationalist, the following question. “There isn’t a single time in history when God allowed His people (the church is His people) to abdicate responsibility to be salt and light, to turn over the arts and sciences to the godless, to give their children over the Baal, and follow the world rather than Christ, and get away with avoiding the consequences of their actions. What makes you think God will do that for the church, since it has gotten in bed with Hollywood, allowed abortion on demand, voted for all manner of scum, failed to teach the world about God’s law, and turned its children over to the state for education? What makes you think that God will snatch us out and allow us to avoid the consequences of our own behavior?”
His answer: “Just because it’s never happened doesn’t mean it won’t.” That, people, is the voice of irrationality.
Prepare for judgment. It is coming upon America, and you’re here at the beginning of it.

– Yes, of course it could have been like that , but the question is what are their (Muslim) numbers like in Anderson County? Have they become a large percentage of the population there? This is how is starts in those places where Muslims gather; at first when their numbers are small they tend not to be a problem, but later when they know they are a force to be reckoned with, they let that be known. But above all else, who is bringing them in and where are they coming from?
Here is a sad and shameful fact for your readers to consider when pondering this dilemma; this growing problem of Muslims among us here in the US is brought to us courtesy of US CHURCH based organizations that contract their services to the US State Dept. to bring this human refuse here from places like Somalia and Pakistan. Organizations such as Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services contract with the government to bring these creatures here and are paid well to do so. Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota has been responsible for bringing in more than 10,000 Somalis to St. Cloud Minnesota and it was the primary Federal refugee resettlement agency working in St. Cloud in 2015. Catholic Charities and “Arrive Ministries” helped in this “noble” cause as well. The same sort of Federal program to relocate “refugees” (yes, that is what our gov calls these Muslims) to places like Lewiston Maine were ongoing in years past. Now, Lewiston Maine has a real problem with out of control violent Somalis (Muslims).
While it is a good idea to prepare your church for the consequences of the presence of this evil among us, it is also a good idea to try to stanch the flow of these primitives at the source; cut off the funds to those who traffic in Muslims/potential terrorists for profit.

“Come out of Babylon,my people”. In my studies of scripture, I see over and over again that our Father in Heaven expects us to obey His commandments and ordinances. The second point(warning!), His Son will return when not expected. As a thief in the night! We are the last generation I firmly believe and we must behave as the salt of the earth as you say Herschel. The book of Revelations,Mathew 24, Luke 21 and the prophets and Gods promises
first in your life, and what a 501 denomination declares last. Repent and return, and live. Time is very much shorter than the world perceives.

@Guy,
I’ve read all of that too. But you and I are saying exactly opposite things. You’re essentially saying that God will snatch the church out of the mess. I disagree with that interpretation of Matt 24, Daniel, Revelation, etc. I am not a dispensationalist. I hold the preterist view of Revelation. Most of Revelation has already been fulfilled. And BTW, we tend to see things in the Scripture through 21st century American eyes. Thus, suffering and trial and tribulation means something like Matt 24 or Rev is happening. But if that was the case, the Christians in Uganda under Idi Amin, the Christians in Iraq under ISIS, the Christians under Nero, etc., etc., had a much better case than we do. The writers of Scripture weren’t American, and didn’t write for the American church to think of themselves when reading the prophesies.
We will live through the mess we have made. Think long term. That runs afoul of what Darby, Scofield, Ryrie, etc., have taught you. So be it. I consider those men to have done massive damage both to the Scriptures and to the church.

Herschel, I am actually not a rapture believer. I just don’ t word my thoughts as well as many others. When Messiah returns all eyes will see Him and we will have, meaning all on the earth still alive, gone through all of the seals and the seven trumpets. The bowls of Gods wrath is distinctly punishment and those who would have repented of their sin have done so by this time.” Let he who is unjust, let him be unjust still: he who is filthy, let him be filthy still: he who is righteous, let him be righteous still: he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
REV 22:11. I agree that the lies and false doctrine that has invaded Christianity have done great harm, but the light is shining. God will ensure the truth is spoken and the lies and errors like the rapture are set in there proper place. You are a large part of this my friend, having a command of the written word I am a little envious of. I enjoy your blog and wish you much success, Guy

The Other George – Don’t have the Link, but a recent Article I saw about the Cockroach Invasion from the Southern Border was that these same two “Church Charities” were handling Thousands of Invaders every Week- the “Border Patrol” rounds them up and hands them over en mass to the “Church Groups”, with Papers that allow them Welfare. The “Charities” then Bus them to wherever they want to go in the U.S., and at the Destination, these same Groups assist the Invaders with getting Housing, Medical Care, and all other “Welfare” they are “Entitled” to. Trump could Stop this overnight, but his (((Handlers))) would Not Allow that.
So if some ‘christian’ Churches get Attacked, I’m Not Concerned….

Christians are amongst the most-persecuted groups of people on earth, especially in those geographic regions where Christianity is growing the most-quickly, such as in parts of Africa and Asia. A fact which is seldom, if ever, reported in the Leftist/Cultural Marxist mainstream media – a silence which speaks volumes about its members and their allegiances.
If there is any group of aggressors who rival the communists for sheer hatred of and hostility against Christianity and Christians, it is the Muslims. Sometimes, the act of hostility is as simple as the defacement of a church or other Christian symbol or building. Such acts can range from vandalism all the way up to organized murder.
During the height of persecution of Christians in the Sudan not many years ago, the Islamic regime of now-deposed dictator Omar al-Bashir used helicopter gunships to strafe, rocket and bomb churches as well as gatherings of Christians themselves.
Across western and northern Europe, hundreds of churches have been vandalized or set afire in acts of arson committed by the soldiers of Allah.
Members of the Christian clergy have been attacked and even slain inside their own churches.
It seems quite apparent that the believers – the soldiers of Allah – are marking the centennial of the Armenian genocide in their usual manner – with the violence, bloodshed and chaos of jihad. Forewarned is forearmed.

@Gryphon;
“So if some ‘christian’ Churches get Attacked, I’m Not Concerned….”
– While I understand where you are coming from with this statement, the faithful in these churches are not to blame for the corruption of the administrators and upper tier membership of their churches. Additionally, they are not aware of the infiltration of a certain (((element))) into their midst long ago, which were instrumental in introducing the dispensationalist doctrine into their midst via Cyrus Schofield’s “annotated” Bible. There are people out there who do not read the Bible for its content, but rather read Schofield’s annotations and, I kid you not, will quote you his annotations as their answers to your questions on Bible topics. If you research Schofield’s life you will discover a morally vacuous man who left his wife and two children to fend for themselves.
Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services are just two of many such organizations that were listed by Ann Corcorran on her blog “https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com/author/acorcoran/”
which is still up, but which she no longer updates because she appears to have lost heart due to the lack of interest/zeal to actually DO ANYTHING on the part of Americans to save their country from invasion. Can’t really blame her for that. She ran that blog for about 10 years if I remember correctly and I followed it for about 3 of those years.
Yes, this invasion has been ongoing for many years, has involved the US State Dept. and numerous subcontracting agencies in the form of NGO’s which typically are sub groups of religious organizations like Catholic Charities. Ann lists them all somewhere on her blog if you care to research the blog, or you can write to her if you are interested enough. The people being brought in are NOT “refugees” any more than the Muslims invading Europe are “refugees”. They are physically fit young men of military age sometime with families in tow. They do not pay their own way to get here. YOU and I pay the freight. We pay for our own dissolution, eventually.

Your analysis of the refugee resettlement pipeline is on the mark. The starting point is at the UN Office of the High Commissioner on Refugees, a lofty sounding title and organization which has been coopted and bought off by the Arab sheiks and their globalist allies. The de jure mission of the office is just what it sounds like; in actuality its real (de facto) mission is to act as a conduit for those individuals slated for resettlement across the West.
From the UN, the pipeline then leads to the U.S. Department of State (in nations other than the U.S., an equivalent governmental entity), and then to the various religious & social charities and NGOs – such as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society(HIAS), Catholic Charities, World Council of Churches, and the like. These NGOs funnel their “refugees” to individual churches and other sites in their respective communities.
Each “refugee resettled” results in a monetary payment to the church or other organization receiving the new arrival. To churches stung by declining membership and the subsequent drop in donations, these cash remittances are an important source of revenues.
The courageous Ann Corcoran is the reason why this massive social engineering project and population replacement mechanism is now known as well as it is.
The powerful people in the shadows facilitating this operation have gone to great lengths to camouflage its purpose and to make it appear utterly harmless. But make no mistake – an operation of the size/scope of the so-called “refugee settlement pipeline” could not get off the ground without significant and substantial material and financial support, to say nothing of backing by a highly-organized and determined group of supporters.

Actually Georgiaboy61, you have done a much better job of distilling this topic down to a very nice short synopsis than I have, and so much so that I have taken the liberty of copying it to my “downloads” library where I will store it for future reference and copy/paste it (with credit to you) in the future if and when I use it in reference to this topic. I hope that that is alright with you.
Yes, poor Ann Corcorran, she did yeoman’s work in this regard trying to educate people as to what was/is going on with the invasion of the Western world – to the point that she exhausted herself.

T.O. George – Yes, I’m familiar with the ‘schofield bible’ apostasy, and (((who))) is behind it- Entirely without considering that I’m not a “Christian” in any way, I am increasingly Disappointed that so many otherwise Good People are Unable and/or Unwilling to Defend their Lives and Society from Open Hate and Attacks… The Brainwashing (zionist propaganda) of schofield and many other ‘preachers’ of the average Christian, along with (((their))) Incessant Demands that ‘christians’ Worship their ‘god money’ and support the zionist state without question has had the effect of thoroughly Neutering the instinct of Self-Defense that the christians once had.
Individually, I know christians who are Willing and Able to Defend themselves and their Families, and they are people that I would ally myself with if there is Widespread Violence, none of them (so far) are very willing to hear me speak generally Against their ‘church’ and the Doctrine that emanates from it, the commie/socialist ‘We Must Help those Poor People” as well as the Willing Disbelief of what the muslims and (false) ‘jews’ Say in regards to christians and Whites in general.
While I may sound Harsh in saying that I am not Concerned about Attacks on christians, the Willful Ignorance towards their avowed Enemies has to Stop before I see a need for Sympathy.

@Gryphon. To riff off Martin Neimoller, first they came for the Prosperity Gospel Christians… Jihad is jihad; convert, pay the jizya or have one’s head separated from one’s shoulders. My point being is if they will/do slaughter Christians, whom they grant a little slack when it suits their aims as People of the Book, what do they think they will do to you as someone who states “I am not a “Christian” in any way?” An infidel in their eyes, a dog fit for slaughter? I am just trying to understand your perspective. I choose to live in a small town outside of Charlotte, NC. I choose to go to a church where most of the folks err on the love aspect of the Gospel. They tend to be pollyanish and yet I am more of an itchy army blanket. The reason I stay is that they are genuine, if not mislead regarding the reality of evil. Jesus said that sheep need a Shepherd. I am not their savior but I can have their six when evil rolls up out front. Yes, I used to go to a Lutheran church (my wife grew up Luth and we married there) and the ELCA churches we attended (my kids went to school there in two different states) I was actively involved in social ministry – not social justice. We met the poor in the dirty where they lived and ministered to them – especially me as a recovering alcohol abuser. So, I get it and have lived it when folks charitable instincts get off the rails and there needs to be realists who reign everyone back. You have folks who mean well but have ZERO real world experience RE the mechanics of poverty and how most folks get there.
So, sorry, rambling, dont wish ill will on folks you think are pussies. Sometimes they will surprise you when their family’s back is against the wall.

Donk – Martin Neimoller had it Nailed – Haters work on the ‘Divide and Conquer’
Process. Yes, I am Aware that I (and not just for my ‘religious views’) am an Enemy of the (godless) State, and of those two perverted ‘religions’, Islam and Talmudism. Both ‘religions’ have at their Root the Belief that ONLY THEY are ‘with God’ and all Unbelievers are Less than Human. Maybe my comments towards the ‘why can’t we all get along’ christians, in the face of Overt Threats and Open Violence (200+ christians just Killed at Easter Sunday Celebrations) came across as calling them Cowards was Harsh, but I see a Large Group of People who SHOULD be Organizing for the War that is already being waged Upon them.
I don’t See anyone like John Sobieski or Charlie ‘the Hammer’ Martel standing up and Saying that the Abuse of christian people needs to Be Stopped. The vast majority of christians have shrugged this off to ‘government’, and are Unaware that ‘government’ is largely Controlled (and Owned) by people that Hate White Christians with a vengeance.
I might find myself “Shooting in the Same Direction” with some christians, one of these Days, but as for Now, they seem to be Sheep being led to Slaughter, and I have No Intention of ‘getting into the boxcar’ with them.
