Charismatic Healings

How many times have many of you heard/seen/watched miracles of someone's foot growing or lengthening?

Why is this so common? Why this particular healing?

Re: Charismatic Healings

I have recalled on case of a fracture forming a union. Now growing a long nose or tongue is not very uncommon.

This is "so common" because it's so easy to fake - and many "charismatic" (and "Apostolic" and "Pentecostal") types refuse to learn.

Just have some poor suffering sot lie on a table and pull their shoe off until it's declared to be at a length which is "even" to the other.

I saw this gambit being done at the first UPC camp meeting I had ever attended. Lame.

Only our "Code of Silence" allows this fraud to persist.

Re: Charismatic Healings

From a charismatic friend today:

"The only reason we don't have everyone being healed today is because of a lack of faith."

In his theology, sickness is a reminder of an absence of faith. Sickness is never God.

I find that to be dangerously wrong.

The First church of Darwin writes claims of reptiles growing feathers and fishies growing legs. The world has a lot of crazt notions.

What all comes up at the science camp meetings.
Giraffes growing long necks.

When people follow charismatic personalities, there are bound to be some exagerated claims.

You need to hit your charismatic friend over the head with a bible and make him read it. "My faith got me healed. Boy, ain't I something." Very dangerous.

Took awhile to flesh it out to that primary theology: He doesn't believe sickness should EVER be present in a believer's body. I guess Paul glorifying God in his infirmities doesn't matter.
