That is one of the dangers with people like this...when folks are on medication, and they go to these meetings, and ‘believe’ that they are cured, and then stop their meds, they may be throwing away their lives....
The first thing someone should do, if they ‘believe’ that they are cured, is to go back to the doctor who was treating them for the condition in the first place, and see just what is going on with their health...
I dont believe that this Bentley fella, is any different from all other different fake faith healers, that are out there...
As I said previously, let Bentley recreate someones amputated toe, or little pinkie finger, or as someone else on another thread suggested, have Bentley go through pediatric burn unit, and heal all the suffering children..
Mere childs play, for someone who claims to raise the dead....
My mother used to drag me to those healing revivals, she used to get so mad at me because I wasn’t impressed. I have a real problem with getting the giggles when I see some preacher emoting and play acting like he’s in some Broadway play and then they can just shut it off like a light switch.
We have a priest in town that emotes like crazy, he’s a soft spoken man until he starts the Mass and then his whole tone and demeanor change, it is like he’s play-acting and I always giggle, I can’t go to his Masses because I know I shouldn’t be laughing but I can’t help it. He’s a nice guy but I feel like I’m in lala land. These guys make me think that they went to acting school instead of seminary. Except that most of the faith-healers were self-taught and I think self-ordained.
I just looked up one that I remembered from back in the 70s and found this, it cracked me up. I know he’s also been in prison.

The healers would get everybody high on adrenaline and then he’d touch certain ones and tell them they were healed.
I’d always tell my mom to wait a few days and see if they were still healed.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe God can and does heal, Jesus did and we live by His example. If it is God’s will there will be healing and if not then not. I don’t understand it but I trust God knows what He is doing even when He isn’t doing it the way I want Him to.
