Word Faith Movement - False

The site above is obviously anti-charismatic

& it seems clear that it uses deception & misquotes

Today, so far, I've had to use express public PCs, so have not yet had time to read right thru any article, but have already found that the sensationalist opening statements of many sections are followed by links that don't work

I've only had Christian TV for about 19 months, but listened daily to Joyce Meyer for about 2/3 years on http://www.ucb.co.uk @ 549m MW before that

I've always been impressed with the amount of Scripture she packs in & have never heard her say any of the things that the above site claims whe continually repeats, so I suspect that many..most..maybe even all of the purported quotes on that OP site are fictitious?

Now so many are on holiday for 6/7 weeks, maybe folk will feel the call to monitor the many stations linked here:-

I may get 1/2 hours here later to read more of the OP site

God bless!

Here's an unscriptural quote from the OP site:

The problem with Copeland's teachings is that God has not promised health and prosperity to His people in this present world.

The Bible says that "I want you to prosper & be in health even as your soul prospers"

An autologout stopped me posting another unbiblical quote - denying modern miracles are possible

Jesus commissioned even the 70 to heal the sick & cast out demons

Acts 1-28 is full of miracles proving the truth of the Great Commission promise to 'confirm the word preached with signs & wonders following'

Jesus said, "The same works as I do, you shall do & even greater"

Acts never featured children being used of God to open blind eyes & deaf ears & to raise the dead in Jesus' mighty name

But this climax generation of all history - begun with the oft-prophesied rebirth of Israel - has seen many such miracles in answer to children's fervent prayers

I'll just yahoo...

Meanwhile, any open minded reader can access archives of miracles done on http://www.God.TV etc via http://www.BennyHinn.org & http://www.CfaN.org & http://www.mcwe.com etc

Hi again, Katsa!

Thanks for those 3 extra sites

I just have @ 50 mins today & must first check emails, but I've always been a 'swot' & will thoroughly enjoy 'weighing up carefully what is said' - in the spirit of the Bereans @ Acts 17

2As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3explaining and proving that the Christ[a] had to suffer and rise from the dead. "This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ," he said. 4Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and not a few prominent women.
5But the Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city. They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[c] 6But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting: "These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, 7and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus." 8When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go.

In Berea

10As soon as it was night, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

12Many of the Jews believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.

I will look at them today, have not had time to go indepth and then we can compare notes

 

[MrVersatile48]

Sorry I haven't had time since starting with a Liverpool street preachers team

I see that 'grace gospel' site brings up the tag, 'blocked as race hate'

I saw a similar site that taught a 23-vital-stages false way of salvation, so I do hope it's not connected

1 of the other sites you link claim various TV preachers say things that I've never heard any of them say

I found this in the Debates Forum here that may help readers: I've not had a chance to read it yet:-

*Word of Faith* debate between golfjack and jgredline - 24 posts (I think)

viewtopic.php?f=44&t=26577

I have the niggling doubt @ folk flinging false acusations at evangelists

& if those evangelists in fact preach the Word of God faithfully, those false accusations are really aimed at God & His Word, & 'God puts His Word above His name', as the Bible says

Maybe others who've regularly watched Word of Faith TV preachers much longer than I have can answer, so I'll link this thread to the Christioan TV thread I linked earlier

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=24248

Must go!
