Can you imagine the Pope saying anything like this from the balcony of St. Peter's? LOL

"Word of knowledge" is an extremely dangerous sport. St. John of the Cross, a very very holy saint, once said that those who seek "messages" from God commit a grave offense for wishing to transcend the boundaries the Creator set in place when it comes to communicating with Him. Not that God can't choose to talk to whomever HE wishes, but people like Robertson who are seeking oracles have no idea who or what is responding to their request...

I disagree.

Christ provided a clear New Testament way to test the spirits--those which do not confess that He came in the flesh . . . etc. are not of Him.

Pat is very experienced in such testings.
