mall guy flags
I've gathered a decent amount of info on the shirt guy, it appears he is in a false Christian sect or cult.
Things i noticed :
- Thought I read in orig post that he thinks he is an "Apostle". Anyone who says that is lying. (There are no apostles anymore, there were only 12. The requirement was to have been a physical disciple of Jesus during Jesus time on earth.)
- People in these false Christian groups, (charismatics included), are typically unlearned in Scripture, overly vocal and pushy.
- He said hes in USA "cuz God told him to". Thats lie #2. God doesnt audibly or in our brains "talk to us" Christians. (He speaks only thru the Bible).
I've encountered folks like this, so its not far fetched that there were problems and he was asked to leave.
People like that give a bad name to true Christianity. (* notice there are not false groups among other religions, thats because Satan only attacks the true faith).
In general tho, if people are not interested in chatting or talk about the subject of Jesus or salvation, just kindly end with "ok, have a nice day," and go on your way.
The interview after this, which brought up more red flags on him...
Hes from Ethiopia but living in US for 12 years. Hes not a visitor on a missionary vacation, the way the 1st article implied. He is apparently a citizen.
The church leaders back home said he was too young in the faith. He ignored his church leaders, and that's not ok, he is to be under their leadership. Yet went ahead and did his own thing. And claims God told him to do this and that. He ran from his church, and moved to US.
His church elders said he is not learned enough, hasnt grown enough in the faith, and Scriptures, and is ramming thru anyway "his way". Thats not God's way. Thats not someone following Jesus and being obedient to Jesus and his church leaders (elders).
He has a really thick accent, and cannot articulate Scriptural info & nor state Christian things clearly. However leaflets can do that for him, in convos, but he wasnt handing them out that day.
He "got really angry" at the mall people, when kicked out 1st time, which isnt Christian behavior. Thats not thoughts/ behavior of someone with the fruit of the Spirit.
He rambles and sounds like hes trying to get attention on himself and hyping up himself, instead of focused on Jesus.
He claimed "the security guard wouldnt tell me his name and...was about to reach for his gun." I doubt that. There was a huge crowd around them all. So i think this is another lie.
A mall shooting happened there after he was trespassed off the mall (1st time) and he said "the shooting wouldnt have happened if they didnt ban him." Thats not biblical. You cannot make those judgments. You cannot make that determination! Thats nonsense.
He also bragged that he goes out to do these works in the very cold weather. That's not Christian. If he meant he cares about people that even the MN cold weather stops him from sharing.
He claimed someone punched his back on the train, and another time a cop threw him off the train "like he was a box"... um thatd be on at least 5 videos uploaded, viral, and a big lawsuit against the police dept. I highly doubt these "stories" happened.
The security guard cannot tell someone to take a shirt off "because it offends people". This is USA not UK.
A "Christian" group, that connected with shirt guy, has encouraged and promoted a flash mob, wearing the shirts that were deemed unallowed, and that means a protest without permit nor mall approval. So thats going beyond. And seems attention seeking. And not Christian behavior.
They quoted the MSG Bible version in the inteview and ☠ thst is the worst version ever invented, recently. It isnt even translated from the manuscripts 😬.
In the convo they also preached a false gospel, so make sure you know the biblical gospel. If anything, to know what the Christian message really is.
They said wrong things in the interview but I know Scripture tells us "God's word wont return void". Even people who do things for selfish reasons, attention, or are false preachers, something said can be used by God for good and accomplish a purpose regardless.
In the interview he said he counseled a girl on meds for anxiety. If you are in need of help, this can help
