Frogs for communion now

The notorious pastor of End Times Disciples Ministries appears to be at it again, this time with frogs, mopane worms and the Lord only knows what other creatures.

Prophet Penuel Mnguni, also known as the “Petrol Pastor” and the “Snake Pastor” (after he gave congregant­s petrol to drink and snakes to eat) again declared in a Facebook post on Saturday that “biscuits and juice” for holy communion were old hat and that anything could be used to give glory to God.

He emphasises that his congregant­s should consume whatever he gives them “without asking no question” to prove their faith. In his post, he made it clear that anyone who may see things differentl­y was working for the devil.

To justify his strange choice of communion cuisine, Mnguni quoted the New Testament: “Apostle Paul said it clearly; eat without asking no question (1 Corinthian­s 10). People who ask questions before they eat at the Lord’s table become partakers with demons.

“In fact, people who ask where is this meat comes from … it’s a sign that they have never believed in God. Jesus Christ said ‘it is not what you eat that makes you unclean, rather it is because of your heart’.”

He said no food should be thought of as unclean. “They do not know that it is because of their evil hearts,” he added.

“If Christ died for us why should we choose certain meat for food and abstain from other food?

“Then it means Christ died in vain for the law is still raising questions in your heart.”

He promised to deliver a bumper sermon in church, adding: “Whether therefore ye eat, or drinks, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the Glory of God.”

Apostle Paul said it clearly; eat without asking no question (1 Corinthian­s 10).
