AA Allen was a man of faith and God used him mightily. I will leave it as that. The nonsense, the attacks on his person, the hatred against him, I simply ignore. Stories and lies like this should be ignored in the light of how the Lord did use the man.

There, see? Even Appie reproves those who are calling the Medical Examiner a "liar."

Don't take him too seriously. He'll change his opinion......in about a week.

It's interesting how you deviate from truth here, yourself. Just how does anything I or anyone else has said indicate that we "do not believe in the miraculous?" No one has even questioned the authenticity of the miracles attributed to Bro. Allen's ministry (and I'm the only one so far to even embrace him as a "Brother").

You have "slandered" the San Francisco County Medical Examiner - and you have done so with absolutely no proof. You've even managed to slander the Assemblies of God and just about every other Pentecostal organization. You have then slandered everyone on this thread who didn't happen to agree with you about Brother Allen's reported alcohol consumption. How do you manage to avoid associating with yourself, you slanderer?

You knew of course, Jesus took an American flag everywhere he went?

Brother Coe was a great patriot. He served as a cook in the army during WWII.

With warmer weather ahead, I guess we're bound to see more "flip-flops" out.

Way to go! That's a REAL trick! Helps everyone.

Listen to this testimony:

"I saw Brother Jones pull a rabbit out of a hat and I was cured of diabetes."

NOW THERE'S A REAL FAITH BUILDER! FOR SURE!

Quite a few years ago as an amateur magician, I had a number of 'ringer' tricks. These were my very best illusions which which were thrown in with a dozen normal ones I did. They were the ones that left a spectator with their mouth wide open in amazement and having NO idea how it was done.
I was also accused several times of using REAL magic when performing these ringer tricks because they crossed the comfort zone of what some people thought of as "ok, I don't know how this was done but it could be a trick" to "ok, what I just saw was impossible!".

Lance Burton, the well known Las Vegas magician, doesn't simply pull a rabbit out of a hat. Rather he produced 3 or 4 ducks and a couple of geese from his body in the middle of the stage. I don't know how he did it. I just let myself sit back and enjoy the artistry of it all.

I know Jesus wasn't an American but I do believe with all my soul that he would approve our our Declaration of Independence and Constitution!

So you've been a Christian ever since!

That's nice.
