Re: gold fillings. I have a strange story about that.
I met my best friend at church when I was 11. We went to a very bland, Bible-based, no frills, no smells-n-bells nor happy-clappy sort of place. Her family was drawn toward a more charismatic faith, and started going to the Vineyard Church.

There, all sorts of dodgy things (from my perspective at that point) were going on, like "holy laughter," miraculous healings, falling over, spooky screaming, prophecy, speaking in tongues...

Anyway, these people were naturally quite down-to-earth, but they were looking for an intense encounter with God, and the music was rockin', so they put up with the weirdness.

One night at the dinner table, my friend was saying grace, and she jokingly said "And God, please give my mother gold fillings."

Well, what do you know? Prang! The entire family (the mother included) is shocked to discover that the mother suddenly has... gold fillings!

I don't expect you to believe this, but I've known this family for 15 years, and all I can say is that God has a sense of humour.

Yep i totally believe it. God works miracles but his adversery imitates him also. I have experienced many of the same things....question is....are they from God or from another power?.

almost like acts, eh? The people thought the disciples were crazy. However, they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Not saying that every move of God produces weirdness, but I wouldn't dismiss it because of weirdness.


Dang, I can't go to the Benny Hinn conference. Off to Fukuoka. Mad

Benny Hinn needs to be kicked in the head repeatedly.

Again.


Then, Benny needs to read Scripture about Profaning the Name of the LORD and what that means.

Intersting how some people who believe in the imaginary man in the sky also buy a proven charlatan as the real deal, huh?

Gullible and god-fearing sort of go hand in hand, dont it?

Almost like saying that the big bang actually happened. Cool

I would hate to see your face if you die actually believing that. I would really pity you. Crying or Very sad

Well Red,

Who's the fundy?

Who believes that we came from absolute no where? Absolutely no origins? I don't know if you do, but come on. From nothing? Show me the evidence! None. It is called faith Red. You have faith that the universe came from nothing. Even Einstein finally had to admit there was intelligence in the universe. Unfortunately, he was wrong when he pointed to buddhism as the answer for our spiritual needs.

I have faith that it was intelligently designed. I believe I have more evidence to prove this than you have that it came from nothing.
http://www.designinference.com/

What about going from an inorganic universe to a organic universe. What experiments actually show this could happen. Once again you are putting faith in the assumption that the unvierse turned from inorganic to organic without one shred of scientific evidence.

Should I go on?

Did men and woman evolve together? What about wings on birds? Did they fully evolve from no flying to flying or were there half wings?

But lets not argue. I challenge you red to come to Africa with me. Or better yet, China is much closer. We will go to a place notorious for witch doctors. Then, lets go and challenge them that they have absolutely no power. I would like to see what happens to you after you mock them of believing in evil.

What do you say? Do you have the cahunnas or are you just talk?

When you rewind the expasion of the universe, it, (according to the theory, and the best evidence they can find by staring into the sky) leads everything back to a small point. That smal point, should the theory be correct, isn't "nothing" it is something. Thus your claims are wrong, once again.

Quote:

Nope. See above. As well, I took the available evidence and assumed it to be right. If new evidence arrives to discredit this, then I'll discard it. That's not faith. Otherwise, I'm "working on faith" that Africa exists, even though I've never seen it for myself. If I ever fly there and find nothing but a giant hole in the earth, I'll just have to discard the idea of Africa.

Your evidence for this is what now?

Dont liars make baby Jesus cry?

Quote:

Your entire body is made of inorganic compounds. The calcium in your teeth is not organic. Hate to break it to you, but one is just a collection of the other.

Anyway, some years ago... and I'm simply not interested enough to go look it up for you... a fellow took some "inorganic" compounds, zapped it with lightning, and made "organic" compunds. This experiment has been repeated.

Again: No, and you're wrong.

Quote:

If you're going to continue to be crazy, I'd prefer you didnt.

Quote:

Do you have a single clue about evolution and how it actually works? I mean, seriously? Cause you dont show it.

What do I say? I say you're of your rocker and would buy swampland in Florida...

As an aside, how is it these heathen non-Christian witch-doctors have supernatural powers without the divine grace of god? Assuming that's what you're getting at. I have no idea. You tend to mix faith up with belief in the supernatural, with a sort of pseudo science into a rich creamy broth of crack-pottery that would make people who think UFOs built the pyramids envious.

My impression is that guy's a quack & charlatan. Something tells me JC would not be amused.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_hinn

False prophecies
Hinn has made a number of prophecies that didn't come true. For example:

"The Spirit tells me Fidel Castro will die in the 90's. Oh my! Some will try to kill him and they will not succeed. But there will come a change in his physical health, and he will not stay in power, and Cuba will be visited of God."

Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31, 1989. [1]

"��The Lord also tells me to tell you in the mid 90��s, about ��94-��95, no later than that, God will destroy the homosexual community of America. [audience applauds] But He will not destroy it – with what many minds have thought Him to be, He will destroy it with fire. And many will turn and be saved, and many will rebel and be destroyed.��
Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31, 1989. [2]

"A world dictator is coming on the scene. My! He's a short man. He's a short man. I see a short man who's a perfect incarnation of Satan. [speaks in tongues] Never in my life have I had anything happen like what's happening to me now! 'This man will rule the world. In the next few years you will see him. But not long after that you will see Me.'"
Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31, 1989

"The Spirit of God tells me an earthquake will hit the East Coast of America and destroy much in the '90s. Not one place will be safe from earthquakes in the '90s. These who have not known earthquakes will know it. People, I feel the Spirit all over me!"
Orlando Christian Center, Dec. 31, 1989

"We may have two years before the rapture. Can I be blunt with you? I don't know if we have two years left. I'm going to prove to you from the Word tonight, that we have less than two years.��
November 9, 1990 Praise-a-Thon

"Jesus is coming again within the next two years."
July 1997, fund-raising telethon on TBN

Stay at home & you'll save both your soul & your money Laughing

did anybody go? Man I wanted to but too much work. It would of been great for a good laugh.

BTW those praise-a-thons on TBN are some of the funniest things on television. Who needs sitcoms when you have those jokers?
