It's so sad when false prophets/healers promise hurting people instant healing against what Scripture teaches...what a sham!

I believe we should get back to the basics of Holiness and let the signs follow the believers, not believers following the signs.; December 10, 2008 at 5:30 PM

I can't remember who it was, but someone who went to the Todd Bentley "revivals" said that the back was filled with paralyzed people in wheelchairs. Some loved ones were begging them to get up and walk and some tried, only to fall to the ground crying..."My faith must not be enough!" This is so sad and so damaging. The Lord Jesus never promised physical healing as part of the gospel.

I agree with Tim in that we all need to get back to the basics...to see God for Who He is and let Him mold us into the image of Christ in holiness...not just look and seek for what God can do for us. What about what we can do for Him?! It's all about Him folks, not us!; December 10, 2008 at 6:31 PM
