He does not "sell" the oil. Only offers it free in the mail as a point of contact for your own prayer. Same thing so many other ministers do--he just adds the red food color to the oil. It just helps some peoole with their faith. I really do not see the harm. If you believe it will work for you. If you do not believe---it will not work. Just like anything else. I prayed for 100 people this morning and put oil on them--what is so different in obeying James 5:14 and what he does??? I can do it face to face, but he is on TV and send oil thru the mail.

Sounds too Catholic to me! The early church didn't need "points of contacts" for faith...they just demonstrated it!

Well, I think you are wrong. Just my opinion. The church certainly did use anointing oil, James 5:14-15 says to for the elders of the church and let them "anoint" with oil. The point that you question is the oil being a "point of contact." I think so. What other purpose does the anointing with oil serve? Surely, you do not think that there are healing qualities in the oil itself?

Second, what about the prayer clothes that were taken from the body of Paul (actually handkerchiefs and aprons) and given to the sick and demon possessed. Did the clothes somehow retain an anointing from being on the body of Paul, or were they a "point of contact"? I think possibly both, they had a lingering healing anointing from being in contact with the apostle and they were a "point of contact."
