MISHIGAS! Not one of these thousands of idiots was capable of Raising him from the Dead! . JOHN 8:42-53. 42. Jesus Said unto them, "If God were your Father, ye would love me for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me. 43. "Why do ye not understand my Speech? Even because ye cannot hear my Word. 44. "Ye are of your Father The Devil, and the lusts of your Father ye will do. He was a Murderer From The Beginning, and abode not in The Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the Father of It. 45. "And because I Tell you The Truth, ye believe me not. 46. "Which of you convinceth me of Sin? And if I say The Truth, why do ye not believe me? 47. "He that is of God heareth God's Words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God." 48. Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, "Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a Devil?" 49. Jesus answered, "I have not a Devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50. "And I seek not mine own Glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51. "Verily, verily, I Say unto you, 'IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING, HE SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH.' " 52. Then said the Jews unto him, "Now we know that thou hast a Devil. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and thou sayest, 'IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING, HE SHALL NEVER TASTE OF DEATH.' 53. "Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?" CHARLATANS LIKE REINHARD BONNKE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE TRUE GOSPEL IS[- BUT TOTALLY HATE ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN IT! . MATTHEW 23:1-15. THEN Spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his Disciples, 2. Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3. "All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5. "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6. "And love the Uppermost Rooms at feasts, and the Chief Seats in the Synagogues, 7. "And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.' 8. "But be not ye called 'Rabbi:' for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are Brethren. 9. "And call no man your father upon the Earth: for one is your Father, Which is in Heaven. 10. "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11. "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12. "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye shut up The Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive The Greater Damnation. 15. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye compass Sea and Land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more The Child of Hell than yourselves." IF PEOPLE KNEW HOW THE FLAMBOYANT PREACHERS WERE ACTUALLY CHEATING THEM, MANY OF THOSE BLESSING THEM, WOULD SURELY CURSE THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES! .. LUKE 16:1-15. AND he Said also unto his Disciples, "There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2. "And he called him, and said unto him, [i]'HOW IS IT THAT I HEAR THIS OF THEE? GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THY STEWARDSHIP; FOR THOU MAYEST BE NO LONGER STEWARD.' 3. "Then the steward said within himself, 'WHAT SHALL I DO? FOR MY LORD TAKETH AWAY FROM ME THE STEWARDSHIP: I CANNOT DIG, TO BEG I AM ASHAMED. 4. 'I AM RESOLVED WHAT TO DO, THAT, WHEN I AM PUT OUT OF THE STEWARDSHIP, THEY MAY RECEIVE ME INTO THEIR HOUSES.' 5. "So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, 'HOW MUCH OWEST THOU UNTO MY LORD?' 6. "And he said, 'AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF OIL.' And he said unto him, 'TAKE THY BILL, AND SIT DOWN QUICKLY, AND WRITE FIFTY.' 7. "Then said he to another, 'AND HOW MUCH OWEST THOU?' And he said, 'AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF WHEAT.' And he said unto him, 'TAKE THY BILL, AND WRITE FOURSCORE.' 8. "And the lord commended the Unjust Steward, because he had done wisely: for The Children of this World are in their Generation wiser than The Children of Light. 9. "And I Say unto you, 'MAKE TO YOURSELVES FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; THAT, WHEN YE FAIL, THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU INTO EVERLASTING HABITATIONS.' 10. "He that is Faithful in that which is Least is Faithful also in Much: and he that is Unjust in the Least is Unjust also in Much. 11. "If therefore ye have not been Faithful in the Unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust The True Riches? 12. "And if ye have not been Faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? 13. "No Servant can serve two Masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." IT IS PRETENDED THAT A CHRISTIAN CLERGYMAN HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ABROGATE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD WHO SUPPOSEDLY GAVE THEM THEIR AUTHORITY! The TRUE GOSPEL is summarized thusly: . THE TEN TALENTS OF POWER. (Matt. 25:1-30.) 1. TOTAL RECALL. 2. EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION. 3. TELEKINESIS. 4. TELEPORTATION. 5. TRANSLATION. 6-10. EVERLASTING LIFE. Organized Christianity teaches laymen to fall into the exact opposite of each of these Powers- ending in Death and Damnation. It emerges that to die without TOTAL RECALL is to automatically lose one's Soul- regardless of how Righteous and "Good" one was. It may take as long as seven years to attain EVERLASTING LIFE, but less than a year to attain TOTAL RECALL. This was an integral part of of the Commanded Upbringing of a Hebrew Israelite. Which was never taken seriously. |

[quote author=ProsperChild post=85511610] Funeral for Reinhard Bonnke, German evangelist known as 'The Billy Graham of Africa,' draws thousands Funeral service for Reinhard Bonnke at Faith Assembly of God church in Orlando, Florida, on Jan. 4, 2019. Courtesy photo by Sarah M. Brown ORLANDO, Fla. (RNS) — Reinhard Bonnke, the German evangelist known as “The Billy Graham of Africa,” was lauded at a Saturday (Jan. 4) memorial service as “a giant and a general in the army of God.” The Pentecostal pastor died Dec. 7 at the age of 79 in Orlando, where he moved his international ministry, Christ for All Nations, in the early 2000s. He retired as head of Christ for All Nations in 2017, citing declining health. During more than four decades of mass crusades in Africa, Bonnke preached in 51 of the continent’s countries and claimed to have converted 79 million people to Christianity. About 2,000 people gathered from around the U.S. and around the world in the sanctuary of the Faith Assembly of God for a three-hour celebration of Bonnke’s life and ministry. More than a dozen speakers, including a number from African ministries and denominations, lauded Bonnke, for both his zeal and his personal humility. Other Pentecostal leaders, including T.D. Jakes, Benny Hinn and Paula White, appeared on the three large screens above the sanctuary’s stage with filmed tributes. Members of the racially diverse crowd sang Bonnke’s favorite hymns, waving their arms. A large, red floral arrangement in the shape of the African continent was placed on an easel next to the speaker’s lectern. Along the front of the stage stood sheaves of wheat, symbolizing the harvest of Bonnke’s evangelism. Between the morning’s speakers, clips of Bonnke’s African crusades, some to audiences of hundreds of thousands, played on the screen. The best known of these was in Lagos, Nigeria, in November 2000, when an estimated 1.6 million heard Bonnke preach. In 2001, Christianity Today magazine called Bonnke “one of the continent’s most recognizable religious figures.” In a tweet after Bonnke’s death, Muhammadu Buhari, the president of Nigeria, said the country “joins Christendom at large in mourning the passing of renowned evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke." Bonnke's death, Buhari said, was “a great loss to Nigeria, Africa (and the) entire world.” Pia Sebastian, 46, came from Dallas to attend the celebration. In 2013, Sebastian said, she gave up a corporate career to study evangelism at one of Bonnke’s training schools. “I honor Reinhard Bonnke, and I believe that I’m called to carry the torch and fulfill the work of sharing the gospel,” Sebastian said. Bonnke was the son of a German soldier who became a minister after World War II. Mesmerized by tales of 19th century European missionaries like David Livingstone, young Reinhard would later say he heard the voice of the Holy Spirit say to him: “Africa shall be saved!” In a Facebook post in 2018, Bonnke cited another role model. “Billy Graham has inspired me personally,” he wrote after the American evangelist’s death in 2018. “When he preached in a tent in Hamburg, Germany. I always felt connected to him.” Early in his evangelistic career, Bonnke acknowledged in a 2003 interview, he made a strategic decision that proved controversial. He based his ministry in an all-white area of Johannesburg, South Africa, and did not publicly oppose the apartheid regime. Bonnke said he did make known his opposition to apartheid, but indirectly through his ministry. His associate was a black minister who always traveled with him. “I had a choice," he said. “To become politically active and oppose apartheid from the pulpit. Or, to preach the gospel and make people find salvation in Jesus Christ.” "The most remarkable things are happening: blind eyes open, cripples walk, people jump out of their wheelchairs,” he said in a 2003 interview with the Orlando Sentinel. “I am as amazed as anybody else. It is just too wonderful. But I personally am not the miracle worker – it is Jesus.” Bonnke's followers claimed that he did in fact perform a miracle. In November 2001, they say, the evangelist raised a Nigerian minister from the dead. The Rev. Daniel Ekechukwu was twice pronounced dead after a car crash, according to the story, and embalmed – although by African custom his organs were not removed. Three days later, after hearing a prophecy, his wife brought the body to the basement of a church where Bonnke was praying in the sanctuary above. Reinhard Bonnke. Photo courtesy of Bonnke.net At the same time, others later told the evangelist, Ekechukwu sat bolt upright and began to breathe again. “That man was dead as a stone," Bonnke said, although he did not know the man was in the church basement at the time he was preaching above. “There is no doubt about it.” Christ for All Nations ministry officials investigated the account, Bonnke said, and found it to be “so true, so genuine, so fantastic” that they embraced it as a miracle, and produced and distributed a video on the episode. Rick DuBose, assistant general superintendent of the Assemblies of God, lauded Bonnke for his decades of missionary work. Bonnke "literally pushed back the darkness," he said. Toward the end of his career, Bonnke held his first crusades in the United States, a country he said needed to experience God’s power. "I have seen whole countries shaken by the power of God," he told Jeff Kunerth of the Orlando Sentinel in 2013. "That experience in Africa has turned me into an incurable believer that God will do it in other parts of the world as well. And I pray for America."
