Thoughts on Todd Bentley and Lakeland

[Apprehended]

I guess I am going to have to get a tv to find out what you guys are talking about.

I regret any affirmation I might have gave for this revival, and it's been a real eye opener.

That people could be so hungry for God that they would promote someone who is so far off base.

I hope this is a lesson for everyone involved-and that they are especially careful the next time something like this happens.

Like Mr Grady says, people can be so gullible. I think, in part, it is because they are so hungry for God.

Makes me think of the scripture in Amos, I believe, that says God will send a famine in the land, not for food and drink, but of hearing the words of the Lord.

Seems we're in the middle of a spiritual famine now! People had rather believe anything but truth, seems like.

God help us all!

Well, perhaps like Grady said,"They were expected to swallow and follow. The message was clear: “This is God. Don’t question.”

It's like "Oh it must ok, because God TV and all these other people are backing it"

Just goes to show anyone can be fooled--but at least someone is saying something about it now.

I did watch it and didn't see anything too controversial, and thought there were actual healings. Only to find out he could not substantiate one single miracle.

When he started mentioning that he had an angel is when it started to unravel.

I know, Bro. Epley, I was responding to Jason's post.

I agree that Todd Bentley turned out to be a lot of "show".
