Dit is so sinneloos soos om vir een geloofsgroep die reg te gee om n ander geloofsgroep te reguleer. As die regering dit wel deurvoer , dan het dit niks te doen met "bevordering en beskerming" nie, maar alles te doen met beheer en onderdrukking. |

The issue is not accountability. The Church must operate with integrity and within the law. But Scripture teaches that Christ is the Head of the Church — not the state. When governments begin overseeing or regulating religious institutions beyond basic legal compliance, history shows this can slowly lead to control. In countries like China, religious bodies are state-regulated and closely monitored. Many see that as a warning example of what happens when government authority extends into spiritual leadership and doctrine. South Africa is constitutionally secular, not a Christian government. That means freedom of religion must be carefully protected. If the state begins determining how churches are governed, we risk compromising that freedom. God governs His Church. The state governs civil order. When those lines blur, religious liberty can quietly erode. |
