What a lot of codswallop! Why is the M&G giving space to this BS? What interest does it have in perpetuating the myth of this or any other religion?

Must be a slow day in the media if dribble like this make it to the front page.

I'm so glad I'm an atheist.

Rhema's 30th Anniversary, McCauley with the ear of Zuma, chairing an interfaith council, etc - it's definitely news, I'd say?

Excellent stuff... news is news as defined by what the majority care to read about... religious events, especially mass happenings define our vey history as people.. even atheists should know this..check the history of mankind.

A 30 year old Church. Wow.
How old is Catholicism or Judaism?
Once you have been around a millenium or two Mr McCauley maybe we will take notice of you.

Wonder when Rhema will list on the stock exchange like Disney and Universal studios? This whole thing makes a mockery of the sacred history of Christianity

Well, the guys got passion and a calling from God. He could perhaps be a little wiser around PR stuff though. If i was a pastor, i wouldn't want all the great God honoring work that i am doing to be sidelined by some financial issues. Transparency of finances is one way to rectify this.

Rhema is nothing more but a money making 'franchise'.

Thieves and liars. Abusers of gullibility. The very least an honest government would do is make them pay taxes. Instead, Zuma elevates them, thus messing with our constitution. It's a travesty of justice that the poor pay tax and thieves do not.

Let's face it the ex weight lifter / body shopper (call him what you may)saw the light (or is it golden bucket) at the end of rainbow. Did that 30 odd years ago and did it again earlier this year. Another trough gouger - go snort with your mates

this is not christianity. This is self serving, bigotry. It make a mockery of everything followers of christ, hold to be true, as if God exists to serve your own needs!

If you are into religious mythical god type things then doesn't this make sense: "It is easier for a poor man to pass into heaven than it is for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle."

Billy Hill .... Ah, the beauty of press freedom, coupled with civil liberties allowing you to believe what you want .... You may want to try and understand what it means, or does freethought not allow it?

Zuma and McCauley, Zuma and Shaik, Zuma and Simelane etc.

You know a man by the company he keeps. Anyone done any checking into fake-American PastRay's background? He once came to Wits around 1985 to explain his theory that blacks had a bad life because they were the sons of Ham or something. He ran away after a couple of questions. Now he's discovered that there are feeble-minded zombies of all races who will pay for his BS.
