Well, I’m from the past. My wardrobe is proof.
It’s all a huge religious scam. Megachurches, evangelicals ministries on TV, all just a moneymaking scam............
I’m still waiting for anyone who claims to be a “prophet” to demonstrate that they have the power to raise the dead. Prophets in the Bible could do that, so it should be a piece of cake for them, no?
Sadly there people who believe this.
> he was at ‘prophet’ Bob Jones’ house when NASA called <
Wow. NASA actually does that? I always hang up on them. I thought it was fake.
I guess now I’ll stay on the phone with them, see what they want.
That happened to me once. Watch was on Central Time.
I parked the truck myself.
In my life I have most often found “prominent” “Charismatics” to be biblical informed just enough to sound “right” while most often actually be at best half right and at worst just plain wrong.
1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.

Color me skeptical. There are so many points here that cannot come to closure.
I am still puzzling over the upgrade to first-class seats.
My brother is a furniture refinisher. He was taught by a master refinisher, Richard was his name. The guy was very good at his work and himself had a lot of charisma. Could’ve easily been some sort of talk show host or something. Nice looking. Deep voice.
He met one of these guys in the religious circuit, one of the ones who did the shows with a pretty big audience.
He told this Richard, ‘we could use a guy like you to do the shows, the circuit, you have ‘it’ and it’s good money, easy, very very lucrative.
Richard politely said, ‘I’m not really religious, though’. The guy told him, ‘it doesn’t matter, that doesn’t matter’.
Real phonies.
In other news. Papa was a rolling stone...
that “give you a word while you stand naked” line is a good one! have to remembe that!
I do believe in the charismatic gift of prophecy, but the bible is very clear that the prophesy should be affirmed by someone ELSE. *Self-declared* prophets? No thanks.
If someone in my prayer community says, “I see a stomach that is healing,” I might think, “cool! my ulcer is getting better!” If a self-declared prophet says that, I think, “someone saw me pop a Tums.”
We were warned of this 2000 years ago by St Paul!
ACTS 20:
28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
29For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
The NAR is an apostate group. They are not Christians.
Sure. Bob Jones Sr. Came to this planet in 1883 and travelled 84 years through time, leaving the planet in 1968.
No, that's an opinion and I seriously doubt they are in heaven.
I had word of faith friends many years ago, who would believe this stuff and wait for God to do it for them as well.
Notice they WERE friends.
