Greetings from the 17th Century or Life Here in the Bible Belt
The letter below was published by the The News and Reporter newspaper of Chester County, SC. There is some thought that the letter is a phony. We don’t know. But if it is that says something about the editorial standards of the newspaper that published it and the state of the culture here in SC.
It is about a court case. Darla Wynne, a self described Wicca Priestess, sued the town of Great Falls for invoking Jesus in its official government meetings. She won at every level in the Federal Courts from District through Appeals through the Supreme Court just a couple months ago with the help of attorneys supplied by the ACLU. Now by order of the district Judge -a woman- the town must pay Wynne's attorney fees, something in excess of $50,000. This is a significant sum to the town of Great Falls which is not much more than a country crossroad.
There is much more to this story. Wynne has been vilified, her house broken into about 9 times, her animals hurt and the local cops have done nothing. Indeed, she is now frightened of the local cops and is considering another suit (which would probably get her killed or seriously hurt).
Anyway here is a letter to the editor from someone who challenges her to a religious duel: her Satan agin his Lord and God. Read on.
LETTER: Satan's bluff is called
Dear Editor,In an earlier article "Great Falls Gets it, Why doesn't Chester?" let's start with the Great Falls incident. I don't feel sorry that I was not here from the beginning of the lawsuit, but I am glad to see the end result, as I have something to walk with in my mission against Satan.
There is nothing new under the heaven; people and nations have fought against the name of God almighty in their nations, and even succeeded in doing that, and after their reign was over, another one came and reinstated the name of God and his commencements in the nation. When the birth of Jesus Christ was announced by the wise men, King Herod tried hard to stop him by killing a great deal of innocent children. Yet, he still missed Jesus, and as Jesus grew up to fulfill his mission, He raised the dead, healed all manner of sickness and performed many miracles. In John 14:12-14 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." This assurance was given to believers for a power of authority to use his name.
What happened in Great Falls too shall pass. Jesus, Satan, witchcraft, wizard, and other principalities are spiritual matters. Why are you addressing them in the court of law? Why not bring the issues in the spiritual realm? The Bible declares that Satan is the prince of the air. I, Jean Minyem, am a minister of the Gospel, and an ambassador of Jesus Christ, I challenge you, Darla Wynne.
Please invite all witches, wizards in the area and your boss the devil to an open meeting. Let us have an open meeting just like in the days of the Prophet Elijah and the Prophet of Baal in I Kings 18:19-39. Being a man of God and an ambassador of Jesus that I am, will be standing against every witch, wizard, and devil.In that challenge, the God that will respond with miracles, signs and wonders as Jesus did such as raising the dead, opening blind eyes, raising people with serious deformations out of wheelchairs, and healing all manner of diseases will be called the real God over Great Falls.
If your God, the devil, succeeds in performing these miracles and my God doesn't, then your god is God. If your god doesn't perform them, my God will be proclaimed Lord of Lords and King of Kings over Great Falls.Since I know that Jesus will perform them, I set notice to you that the spirit of God will fall on you and all the other witches, and you will prophecy that Jesus is Lord. You will not be able to control yourself, but you will prophesy.
Peradventure fear comes to you and you are afraid to show up, I will send the Holy Spirit and charge the angels to drag you by force to the place, which I will choose. You don't know what you got yourself into.
I speak like a king and pray as a priest to the most high God. You may have played on the emotions of my fellow Christians who did not know what to do with you. But now a man of God is in town to challenge you.
