A MESSAGE TO BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN HONG KONG

Greeting in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I am always praying on ongoing situation in Hong Kong around problem of Davidian media, The Gospel Herald.

Especially, I offer my special intercessory prayer for "Brother Y" who is now targeted as scapegoat and is hardly attacked by Davidian on Internet.

Please understand that this kind of "discrediting wording" toward an objector is typical phenomenon in "Battle to Heresy and Cult".

In present case, Davidian even uses a wording "He is a Dog of Japanese".

I understand that when you listen a word "Japanese", some of you may experience a psychological response. That psychological response may be consciously or unconsciously rooted in sinful and wrongful doings of Japanese Government to Hong Kong during World War II.

Through reading on books of history, I came to know that Japanese Government did cruel things to innocent people of Hong Kong, causing long after memory of pain and suffering.

When thinking of these things, I must say that it is quite natural response for you to experience psychological barrier around your heart when you listen the word "Japanese".

And even Brother Y is said "a Dog of Japanese".

Here in this moment, I would like to apologize for all cruel doings of Japanese Government toward Hong Kong people during World War II. I am very sorry for the tragedy made by generation of my grandfathers and grandmothers.

Also I would like to ask you to discern Davidian's method of "discrediting wording". They use the word "Japanese" to form the psychological barrier around your heart. The effect they wish to gain is that you discredit the student of heresy, Brother Y.

Please remember that Dominicans, an Order of monks who were specialized to fight against Heresy, once called themselves as "Domini Canis", that means "Dog of the Lord" in Latin.

In every sense, there is no discrediting nature in a word "Dog".

So rather we should say "Dog of the Lord" or "Dog of Jesus".

When someone is fighting against Heresy and Cult, and because of the battle, he or she is risking his/her reputation and personal peace, we should call him/her "Dog of Jesus".

I believe that that is the most honorable title.

I always wish to be a Dog of Jesus.

Peace and Grace to you all.

In His Service,
Major Makoto Yamaya
