Minister Oliphant devastated by Empangeni church collapseLabour Minister Mildred Oliphant was supposed to attend an Easter service at the same Pentecostal Church on Friday. Far as I know Bible teaches that all good gifts come from God & evil from Satan. God does not heal or create with one hand & slay people with the other hand. His kingdom is not divided. Saying act of god, which god are people talking about? There are so many. Who is one true God?
