A Night of Supernatural Events

And IMO, discernment isn't a long distance assessment of a situation of which you've heard.

He's simply stating that these types of technique exist ... as possible scenarios of all those who delve in the prophetic .....don't they?

Esther, I am not in the habit of making issues of things.

And I have NEVER done so in my own defense.

But this is different.

Of course they exist, but he is doing more than that.

He is applying that accusation to this situation specifically.

That is what makes i different.

Daniel, why are you so intent on defending a poster's right to call men of God liars and charlatans?

What gives?


is that really how you want to align yourself?

This is not a lib/con issue.

Very true.

His "sense" was, according to him, "the gift of discernment."

You are comparing apples to cow piles here.

The existence or lack of an "or" does not negate an inferred accusation of one's veracity ... the first quote does infer that one is lying or one is a bumbling idiot.

Very true. Especially when you consider this mode of communication is flawed.
Crucial thematic elements can be lost in the transcribing and subsequent translation of any story.

God spoke to him, and he spoke to the person, and their lives were affected in great ways. I'm not talking about general words either, but specific words that only God could give.

I've seen this so many times too Sherry. In fact, it's happened to me personally where those who knew nothing about what was going on in my personal life came to me, ministered in the prophetic and were so totally accurate in what they had to say and in what GOD had revealed to them through His Spirit.

There are times people err or "miss" but that doesn't negate the genuine.

I just read through this thread for the first time -- including the initial posts. I can understand "testing" things and that's fine but discounting actual occurrences by those raised around this sort of thing all their life seems a little sad.
