I be lying if I said I was not scared at first, but after holding the baby in my arms and seeing how much this child and it's mother wanted to live all fear left and was replace with overwhelming love. They her and the boy spent eight months with us, then her family step in, she die in their home as she had prayed. The son die later in their care as well~

He has violated Leviticus 19:28, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD." Since so many Apostolics like to selectively apply the Law of Moses to the Church then this verse could be used to keep him off the platform.

And which of God's laws have you violated? The same can be said for anyone, so having broken God's laws is not a valid reason.

I said that Apostolics like to selectively apply the Law of Moses. I'm just following their logic.

No, Rico it is not a threat. I know that God does most assuredly answer prayer and that sometimes we do not like the answer.
Is that clear enough?

I wonder if this guy had himself anestithised (?) prior to having this done?
Or maybe he is a he-man who wanted to show everyone just how much pain he could tolerate in one sitting.
Either way, OUCH!!!
