i saw this show yesturday. it is about a priest that heals people by hiting them on the head. for example there was a lady that couldn't walk then she talk to the priest , the priest said "god gave you new legs" then she was walking and running
around the church. there was another guy that couldn't see then the priest hit him in the head then he started seeing again.

Well... I would say it isn't coz i wouldn't hit someone on the head to heal them, Jesus didn't hit anyone when he preformed healing. The Devil can also do such thing coz he comes like an angel of light.

I doubt that priest (more than likely preacher though) could replicate the healings in a controlled environment.
Reverend Jim Jones performed lots of "healings" like these. We know today that he used his own people in the audience to act like they were in need of healing when they were not. This is a common thing. I have never heard of a faith healer being able to perform these healings where the patient is checked out by doctors before and after and everything is monitored.

It might be true, for deceiving ministers can perform miracles. So the miracle is not proof enough to validate the minister.
It can also be faked easily enough.
Unless you can corroborate from other sources these miracles actually occurred, I'd remain skeptical.
If you ever meet one of these, like this priest, just ask them to raise back to life someone who died. That will tell quick enough who they represent.

Healing is possible in our time. Having said that, I am also very quick to add that there are many who have twisted the truth and are no more than showman. There are no references in the Bible that would preclude miracles in the modern age. If they were true then, they could be true today.

If he really does get his healing power from God, as he claims, why doesn't he travel around and heal people, just like Jesus did in the Gospels.

Have to be real careful with so-called modern day healers....
If this were true, then we would have no more need for hospitals.
Can God heal someone? Absolutely.....
Are there moder-day healers? Maybe......but some are fakes
