You have GOT to hear the message - actually he says the Soviet Union are going to destroy the US - yes - you read that right. "After the Soviets attack the US with nuclear missles the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans will join together to swallow up America." Just heard that quote.Originally posted by PastorGreg:
My daughter has a friend who goes there (HAC) and told her a few weeks ago about a message Schaap had preached recently from Jeremiah showing that Russia was going to attack the U.S. and the U.S. would disappear under the sea. The girl was all excited about this great message and my daughter said (with all the tact of her dear father) "I can't believe you believe that garbage just because he says so. What ever happened to searching the Scripture?"![]()
How many seat old bldg?Originally posted by PastorGreg:
No. They never had a 20,000 seat auditorium. That is not true.
It sounds like a cult, my friend, because it is a cult. It's a rotten shame that many who are there, good people, are trapped into that mindset and will probably never come out. The legacy of lies, error and deceit lives on in Schaap.Originally posted by amazinglove92:
I went to the Hyles Anderson college for a college tour. I was saddened on every wall they had a picture of Jack Hyles and one of his sayings. I was thinking what is this college about Hyles or Jesus?
The first semester of college they make yes make you take a class on the life and ministry of Jack Hyles. I was shocked at that. I was even more shocked when I heard this class was there even before Hyles was dead. Their preachers preach that all the other Bible versions are created by the devil and that you can only be saved by a KJV this is horrible!
This sounds like a cult to me!
How many seat old bldg? </font>[/QUOTE]The old, current auditorium comfortably seats about 5500-6000 (including the mezzanine). The mezzanine is the under-the-balcony section that was put in after the original construction to try to shoe-horn more people in. Each section of the mezz. has a couple of video monitors showing the platform, since unless a person is seated in the 1st or 2nd rows of the mezz. a person actually can't directly see the platform. There are also a couple of overflow rooms with closed-circuit monitors, and they tend to place chairs in every aisle too- which is how FBCH gets away with saying the auditorium seats about 7000.Originally posted by Askjo:
