Bible Note: If your mother went to a Benny Hinn crusade and was healed of cancer and her other medical problems, then the praise should go God. Actually that's the first documented success story I've ever heard come through that ministry. I mean I've seen the man on T.V., and I've heard of some of the healing stories, but upon further investigation, to my knowledge, none of the healings could show a before and after authentic medical documented healing of an illness. But if you say that your mother was healed of cancer, not that the cancer is in remission, but actually healed of it, then I will take your word for it. How is she doing these days anyway?? Last night I took the opportunity to look up the scripture verse that you quoted, Matt. 7:22. I noticed two very interesting points. The first one is in v. 15. Jesus was instructing the people to beware of false prophets. False prophets were as common in His day the same way that false teachers are common today. They both have the tendicy to take the word of God out of it's original context and twist it to imply something that it really doesn't mean. They both teach a false doctrine. I guess my first question would be, should we not also beware of false teachers and false doctrines today the same the people was instructed to beware of false prophets and false doctrines yesterday?? And if we fail to do this, are we not in violation of sound doctrine?? According to the information posted by the Radioman, you and I both were misinterpreting ‘Touching God's Anointed'. Since it doesn't appear to mean what we thought it meant, then what other reasons do you have for following Benny Hinn?? The second thing that I noticed was in v.22. "Did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?" Now this one I literally lost sleep over. Where did these people get the authority to cast out demons? I don't think that it came from God because in v.23 Jesus said, "I never knew you". The only other reasonable place would be the adversary. But that one caused a problem to. In Matt. 12:22-26 Jesus cast out a demon. The Pharisees accused Him of doing this through the devil. Jesus' answer indicated that the devil can not cast out demons. So where did the people get the authority to cast out demons. Eventually I had to settle for the bottom line. It doesn't matter where they got their authority from. The bottom line is that they were truly deceived into thinking that what they were doing, they were doing for our Lord and Savior, and in actuality they were not. Jesus said, "I never knew you, depart from me..." I think this is one of the reasons why we should be careful of who we follow. There are going to be many that says, "Lord, Lord", and they might even have a large congregation themselves, but in the end, they will not make it into the Kingdom of Heaven. The CurtMan |
