Dutch Reformed Church - Congregational Hymn

[1936belly]

I was a member of the "Dutch " church in Hamilton On. Canada.

Still belief in God

I spent my childhood in these churches, listening to the godawful organ music and the endlessly boring sermons. I'm an atheist.

@8698gil Jesus have mercy of you! Come back to Jesus Christ, He´s his saviour!

@8698gil What were you doing on this page?

@1936belly I just happened to see the title of the video, I was raised in that church, so I was curious about it.

I don't like the organ playing, it sounds creepy. like in one of those bloody scary movies or something... really creepy. as far as the singing, i couldn't hardly hear much of the singing because that creepy organ music was drowning out the singing, all i heard was that creepy organ, get rid of the organ, and just sing the hymn acappella like we told to.

It is really a pity that French Protestants ( " Huguenots " ) have to go abroad to find beautiful Reformed churches : they were so harshly persecuted in their own country between the XVI th and XVIII th centuries that most of them had to return to Roman Catholicism or to flee to Protestant countries ( at the peril of their lives , for it was forbidden ) .

Pastors and preachers were systematically executed .

@parpaillotcamisard Here in Brazil the Roman Catholic Church persecuted both the Dutch and drove away, the Reformed Church barely survived here in Brazil, ruled the empire of Satan and persecuted christians Dutch to the point of extinguishing them here, or almost abolish them.

@parpaillotcamisard Beautiful hymn and singing, but sad to see anti-Catholic comments. Protestants persecuted Catholics also, confiscated church land and property for themselves, and in some countries destroyed art and architecture in the name of Christ. I know of few Catholics who act like these events happened "yesterday", but many Protestants DO act as if THEIR persecutions did. Jesus didn't write a book or even own a Bible, the source of Reformation discord. He founded a church.

Many Dutch Reformed Protestants are descendants of the " Huguenots " , the French Protestants , harshly persecuted in the XVI th , XVII th and even XVIII th centuries , in their own country , France , and who took refuge, in Holland .
