How can he be restored by those who backed him, IF those who backed him KNEW that he had an “unhealthy relationship” with an intern possibly two months before they pulled the plug in August?

If they knew, would that not make them deceivers, who let a man stay in the pulpit even though he would have no business staying in the pulpit until August?

If so, where is the apology from them? When have they said that they, too, need restoration? I doubt that we will hear any talk of that.

Secondly, if his wife left in June 2008, and Todd doing what he was doing, he had a duty to take himself out of the pulpit, right?

Did you look at all of the garbage this man taught? Did you look at the you tube videos? Did you hear the words out of his own mouth? Did you hear the words out of his own mouth in “Todd Bentley Lies And Contradictions Examined”?

His words do not honor the Christianity at all.

Don't teach Jesus, teach angels? Garbage.

Yes, we have all been forgiven. BUT, the Bible says that we must look at the whole counsel of God. That means looking at all of scripture.

We are admonished in the word of God to correct those who err from the faith in doctrine. Paul the Apostle said that he “cut the ground from underneath” those who taught false doctrine. Anyone can watch those clips and see that he is.

Yes, we are to do all of this in love, tough love if necessary. We are to earnestly contend for the faith.

It isn't casting stones to do the above. It is protecting those who could be swept up into this mess.

Godly men I respect are working with Todd and giving him an opportunity to start over...but as the video of Pastor Joyner makes clear it is ultimately Todd’s choice. Jesus restored Peter who denied the Lord which is one of the worst sins. Some people are naturally charismatic beyond their knowledge and sometimes they walk blind to their unhealed hearts and minds.Love is the greatest motive for anyone and anything.
