Pastors Anderson & Bougardt to open gay hate church in Cape Town
Pastors Bougard & Anderson
The revolting bromance between American evangelist Steven Anderson and South African preacher Oscar Bougardt is set to spread its gay hate in Cape Town.
According to Daily Voice, Bougardt recently returned from a two week jaunt to visit Anderson in Arizona. He said that he plans to share DVDs of Anderson’s bigoted sermons, which he brought back, with other local churches.
The Cape Flats pastor also told the newspaper that he is in discussions to buy a building in Eerste River to house a South African branch of Anderson’s Faithful Word Baptist Church. The church could open its doors as soon as January.
Anderson has been determined to launch a southern African branch of his church. He was, however, blocked from entering South Africa and deported from Botswana over his calls to have gay people executed and for applauding the Orlando Massacre as “good news”. An attempt to open a church in Malawi also appears to have been foiled.
With Bougardt’s help, however, his plan may finally be realised. “We will be buying and not renting [the building], so no one can do anything about the plans ahead,” said Bougardt, who is also known for his homophobic hate speech.
“We will not only be touching on issues about homosexuality but all issues which the Bible speaks of.” he continued.
“So I want to let the people know here, this is about spreading Christianity and there is no stopping that, we are in a country of freedom of religion.”
Bougardt also revealed that he was “a victim of homosexual abuse, when my tyres were slashed outside my home”.
Commenting on Facebook, the cleric wrote: “Cape Town are you ready for Pastor Steven Anderson and Faithful Word Baptist Cape Town?”

He went on to address World Aids Day by blaming same-sex relationships for the high rate of HIV infections. “South Africa wants to be free from HIV/AIDS by 2030. Only way to do this is to turn back to God’s natural way, man and woman relationships,” he insisted.
“Governments are slowly but surely killing people by allowing these sick same sex relationships,” he added.
In an August 2014 Equality Court settlement order, Bougardt was “interdicted from publishing statements that are discriminatory or incite hatred or harm on the grounds of sexual orientation”.
He defiantly contravened the order and went on to make more hateful anti-LGBT statements on Mambaonline. In September 24, 2015, for example, he wrote: “We need Isis to come to countries who are homosexual friendly. Isis. Please come rid South Africa of homosexual curse.”
Complaints against Bougard for these comments have been laid with the SA Human Rights Commission.

Once again Mambaonline writes a story about me without having the decency to call me and ask me for my comment. Well let me give you gives my comment Malawi, Botswana, Cape Town, Pretoria and Germiston are in the pipe line and soon you will here about FWBC churches opening all over Africa. We have the right as Christians to preach and teach the true Word of God, that is call freedom of religion. Let me be honest with you guys, homosexuality is not on the top of our agenda when we meet, we don’t even discuss your lifestyles as we believe God gave you over to your own reprobate minds “Romans 1′ Homosexuals declared war on the preachers of the true Word of God, we are at peace. If you really think that 60000 signatures can stop us than you dreaming. We will go ahead with preaching the Gospel and believe me you are not on our agenda, its all about Souls, winning Souls for God. You guys are not that important that we discuss you and your perverted lifestyles every time we meet.
There is nothing different between Gay people and people of other orientations (such as straight). You are planning on preaching Christian values however you do not possess sufficient knowledge and understanding of the LGBTI community or its people in order to be preaching and teaching this type of insults and hatred (which you come to call Christianity). You also call as perverts. My question is do you actually know what that mean and what the dictionary explanation of that is? You think pervasiveness is linked to once sexual orientation, well that by itself is an indication that you do not posses sufficient knowledge and education to be teaching people about sexual orientation. It’s like asking an arts teacher to teach mathematics. You actually need to have the credentials to teach stuff. The Bible specifically preaches love as well (Jesus himself had pride in that) and there’s no love in those teachings of yours or your commentary (yet you claim you’re building a church). To teach a specific religion you also need to know that religion in all accuracy otherwise you’re a false prophet of that religion and not teaching a religion that is recognised by law (as it is the incorrect religion) which means you need to first register a new religion and proof it’s validity. You can thus not claim your organisation as a non-profit nor religion as part of the legislation, and avoid taxes. Until you’re new religion has been recognised by South Africa.
I would also like to point out that your quoted text is not the correct translation of the original verse. The word homosexuality or honosexuals as it is known today did not exist like that back then. Nor is it God’s own words. It is something written by someone thousands of years ago (of which the originals do not even exist anymore) and translated over time into any fitting word. Surely if you have sufficient education on the matter you would know that. There are 34 books that have been left out of the modern Bible. This was determined by PEOPLE a 1000 years ago. You are teaching antique doctrine and trying to apply it to modern man. You are also vastly mistaken if you think it’s just Gay people that have problems/ issues/ illnesses/ hurt. The straight community is even more broken with just as many ratio people of problems etc. Problems are mainly caused by hatred and rejection. That’s exactly what you’re doing. Once again if you had sufficient knowledge on the matter (psychology) you would have known this. You’re not fit to preach anyways. Mambaonline can only contact people who wish to be contacted. Further more they stated facts that are already in existence, they didn’t add details that required further clarity from you. You already made it clear what your opinion is.
I would also like to point out how damaging your preaching is. The hate and rejection that you preach. One of the most hurtful thing for any person is to be rejected without even being given a chance to be. Kids with the biggest psychological issues are kids who were rejected by someone (especially a loved on such as a parent). How does that translate into Christianity? If you studied criminology and or psychology you would know these things. You’re damaging another person’s livelihood. Science has already proven that LGBTI people are born this way. They don’t just choose it one glorious morning. No one chooses a life of rejection.
You say you’re church’s main focus will not be gays, but it is part of your agenda though. That’s what the problem is. That your claims are to a religion but you’re already planning on preaching inaccuracies. Then it’s not a religion then you’re claims on religious freedom is invalid. Our constitution also protects the rights of others (including no hate speech). That means you can practice your religion but not infringe on the rights of others. You ignored a commission’s order by Constitutional body – which means you’re purpose is not to follow law at all (whether God’s or the country’s) but to follow your own rules and likes and dislikes and hatred (still claiming country laws to protect your rights to freedom of religion yet you yourself don’t follow the law. Oh the irony!).
I would like you to watch the film Prayers for Bobby. It’s a heartbreaking story. But watch it and see the damage you can cause. If you have any intention of being knowledgeable (respectable) on the subjects you preach, you’ll be willing to learn, and watch that film. There’s no sex scenes in that film either. In fact it was released to all audiences in general media. So you’ll be okay if you fear watching it.
Also I would like to invite you to our LGBTI church in Pretoria. It’s an official Gay church and teaches Christianity. The correct details thereof. You don’t need to agree with anything but you can open up you’re mind to teachings. You can decide for yourself afterwards what you think. The church is called The Reforming Church of Pretoria (Reformeerende Kerk Pretoria)). Google it. Bring your body guards if you feel unsafe but I can assure you no one is going to touch you anyways…
Tell him like it is!
Yes continue your hate that causes our gay kids to kill themselves. As Betty Bowers, American’s best Christian said – ISIS may throw gay people off buildings, but here in the West we are so much more sophisticated. We just shame our youth into killing themselves.
Jirre kyk lyk die ding. En die noem homself ‘n pastoor? Die pateet walg my.
Maar ou Bougardt – jy is in die minderheid jy moet nou maar kwaak en kwaak soos jy wil. ‘n biggot asshole sal jy altyd wees. laat weet wanner jou kerk oop is. Ek kom hang ‘n groot gayvlag voor jou demonic kerk.
We will not allow it – end of story
It’s no use arguing theology with Oscar. He has no credible theological training, so it not capable of grasping hermeneutics. A person that goes around spewing hate in the name of a faith whose first and second commandment speaks of love is an indictment of the man and gives a really bad name to the faith he claims to know and the person who claims to follow.
I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU, SHARON!!! NO GOOD WASTING TIME ON ANY TYPE OF EXTREMISTS. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY GET THE ATTENTION OF THOSE IN SOCIETY WHO DON’T KNOW OF ANY BETTER. THESE PERSONS, LIKE THAT SO-CALLED “PASTOR” ANDERSON, SHOULD BE DEALT WITH UNDER OUR CONSTITUTION ACT, AND THE PROPOSED ACT ON HATE SPEECH!!!! AT THE TIME, ANDERSON WAS DECLARED PERSONA NON GRATA AS WE DID NOT HAVE A NEED FOR HIM AND HIS GANG IN SA. THE SAME SHOULD BE DONE TO SHUT THESE IN-LAND HATE SPEAKERS UP!!! THE VOICES OF CHURCHES LIKE THE GOOD HOPE METRO CHRISTIAN CHURCH SHOULD ONLY BECOME MUCH BETTER HEARD THROUGH-OUT SA!!!
How can the government not put a stop to this? There is no need for this in our peaceful country.
All, so well written ! … Love is Love, and no one is able to stop it. If one does not have the intelligence to realise that there are various types of people, BORN like that, then I guess that it should be introduced into the educational systems/programs. Homosexuality has been around since the beginning of life on earth ! – There is NOTHING new about it ! – You’ll probably find that there might be one in your family … accept them for who and what they are … The choice is not theirs ….That’s how they were born !
