Answer 1

I think they could all benefit from massive doses of Thorazine.

Answer 2

While I don't doubt the power of God, I still have to be weary of people like that because there are many scam artists out there. Take Benny Hinn for example. That guy is the biggest fraud out there and is a multi-millioniare off of naievety.

The people passing out is probably real. Sometimes you can get so caught up in the moment, that you will react like that from emotions alone. If you believe something enough, you can make yourself do almost anything.

If someone is a faith healer, they will also be able to heal crippled people. You need to see something obvious like someone getting out of a wheelchair or someone with CP be healed. But these scam artists will always avoid a crippled person and only "heal" people with cancer, or some disease that is not visible to the eye.

I believe that God is able, I believe that there are true healers out there. But skepticism will protect you from the con-artists. Doubt the people, but don't doubt God.

Answer 3

If that's true why couldnt Jesus just touch the people directly? Why does it have to be through him? When Jesus touched him did he too pass out? Will the members of his church also set up their own churches? By Jesus touching him, did it mean he should set up a church? Why wasnt his own public so all can see and believe?

I too i'm skeptical about such stories!!!

Answer 4

Allways sceptical about stuff like this the bloke is obviously a good hoaxer, or just a loony.

Does he ask for donations after each service minimum of £30.
Jesus holds his bank balance.

Answer 5

First of all. Jesus Christ has touched NO body since He was in the flesh on earth. He touched people while He was on earth and has NOT since then.
Jesus sent His "comforter", to touch people. (The Holy Spirit).

Jesus Christ is NOT here for the Christians. Jesus was sent and still is for who? SINNERS. not Christians. The Holy Spirit is for Christians. We are to be Christ-like in what way? To lead people to God through Jesus Christ to attain the Holy Spirit.

Grafted Into Christ
John 15:1-8
A vinedresser plants and tends his vines for the purpose of seeing them produce grapes. God, as our vinedresser, encourages us to bear spiritual fruit. He wants us to have a character like Christ’s, marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. God wants to ensure that believers will be fruitful; for this reason, they are removed from the dead tree of humanity and grafted onto the living vine, Jesus Christ.
After His baptism, Jesus was “full of the Holy Spirit,” who led Him to the next step. (Luke 4:1) Christ’s life and ministry were the result of the Spirit’s empowerment, and when we become believers, God sends the very same Helper to indwell us. In the language of vineyards, the sap from the vine flows into a grafted branch, giving it life and the capacity to grow the kind of fruit typical of that plant. The branch and the vine become one life. The Living Bible translation says, “Let your roots grow down into him and draw nourishment up from him” (Colossians 2:7).
Some people run away from the Christian life because they think they cannot do it. And they’re right: They cannot, but the Holy Spirit can. When we are one with Jesus Christ, the Spirit of God lives His life through us. That doesn’t mean we are free from responsibility—the Spirit can do His work only as we wisely choose to yield to Him. When we are obediently following the Lord, our joy and peace are not be dependent upon circumstances; the One in whom we are rooted is our joy and peace.

It doesn't take but 1 paragraph from most preachers, to see the "words" they use and "how" they use them to get quick knowledge of what he is about. hahahaha

Answer 6

Jesus teaches that when he returns, all the world will know, not just a few. Which makes Apostle Pauls claims equally suspect. Jesus appeared to groups of his followers after he rose again, so all of a sudden he appears to single people who are compelled to have followers? Thats false teaching pure and simple, don't fall for it.

Answer 7

You really gotta wonder, don't ya ? It tells us in the Bible that many will come and claim to be '' him''. I didn't hit your link, but theses claims really make me wonder. I imagine that he is either loopy or ''smarter than your average bear'' and has intentions of swindling the lost that give him their money. I have not seen any scripture to back the claim of Jesus returning and telling? someone to start a church.

Answer 8

I watched .He is a fraud,However i would like to hear other people say Jesus touched them.I believe He does.but not through the intercession of a Man.

Answer 9

LOTS of people claim that Jesus touched them, or spoke to them, or whatever.

This guy is nuts - just a bit less nuts than most other believers. He has figured out how to profit directly from his delusion.

Answer 10

Sorry, my computer would not load the video, but nobody today has the power to heal after the 12 Diciples (sp?) of Jesus died that was it, b/c Jesus passed on his healing powers to them, then after they died nobody else could heal.

Answer 11

I'll do the same if it gave me 7 figure income with big house with 10 car underground garage.
