Citizen Contribution: M Kotze [1995] ZAConAsmRes 1253 (12 May 1995)

 

12 May 1995

You have the important task, but also the enviable privilege, of writing a new constitution.

This is the beginning of OUR new history, when we can make a clean start in a NEW South Africa with equality and fairness for all without domination.

I therefore urgently want to bring the following requests and ideas to your attention, for your careful consideration:

1. Please do not substitute the word God alone for the Trinity, namely Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Please keep it as: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I can substantiate this from the Bible.

2. Please do not remove religious instruction in schools, or scripture reading and prayer from the school syllabus.

I refer you to the American system where this has been banned from school syllabi since 1976, and how the country's teenage crime-rate, teenage pregnancies, drug abuse and divorce have escalated.

Please note: only the following short prayer was said at the beginning of the school day (until 1976):

Lord, bless our country, our president, our teachers and our families - Amen.

3. Please do not ban pentecostal (or other church) meetings, such as those in the Bellville Civic Centre, and, least of all do not ban evangelistic meetings outside church premises or open-air services or services on street corners.

The Bible says the Gospel must be taken to the people ‑everyone must hear the Gospel before Christ's second coming. Not everyone goes to Church (the Gospel).

4. I do not want to be prescriptive about homosexuality, lesbianism, bestiality, satanism and other horrors, but earnestly appeal to you to follow the dictates of the Bible.

I can quote from the Bible for you, but I can also reveal to you the agenda of the "New Age Movement". The so-called "Illuminati”. The "New World Order".

What I have mentioned above is part of their strategy.

Look at other parts of the world, e.g. the 12 member countries of the European Commission.

The whole world is heading for one government.

Impossible! Rubbish! you may say. Compare the way the world is now to the way it was 10, 20 years ago. What does it look like today? Read a couple of books about the New Era cults and you will see where the world is headed, and if you study the Bible with new insight, I believe you will come to the same conclusion.

I am earnestly appealing to you, not only to consider my requests but to do all in you power to incorporate this in your new constitution.

NB If you ignore my letter, remember it when the following will be proven:

a) Christians will be persecuted, torture and killed.
b) Bibles will be banned. watch out for it - then my letter will stick out a mile, but then sadly history will not be able to be rewritten.
