Either your ignorance is oozing out or you're talking utter rubbish. WOF is not against medicine. What is wrong in God using pagan doctors? He uses pagan taxi drivers, bankers, lawyers, techies, etc. to help His children. What's different about the doctor that would make us reject him while accepting the rest?
He takes only after drumb with his conjectures. He will raise a notion by himself and tag it as a WOF belief then criticise the notion and begin to gloat.

Even night brother, not only day. Majority of these fellows are just grumpy grumblers, murmurers and complainers. With nothing to offer except criticism and cheering their fellow complainers.
Exactly, my major beef with them. Nothing to offer. Somebody is out there preaching to souls headed to hell, and they'll complain he's wearing an expensive suit. Somebody prays for the sick to get well, they complain the healings are fake. Why don't they go and do it the right way themselves? In all of these, has anybody heard them share stories of many souls they have won? Or how they have helped the sick do better, and perhaps save them from going to the fake healers? No, it's always criticize and complain and feel good. What value are they really adding to the Kingdom of God?

BabaGnoni, I have seen the thread you made that comment, wonders why WinsomeX said it was Bidam's invention. No need pasting the link, I want to avoid further derailing.

Thanks. Would put up chapter 5 tomorrow!
So sorry Gombs. For posterity, i think. The link would serve for posterity.

I dont know why you have to bring, whatever out of frustration, nannymcphee said, here to this thread
You're behaving like the other two who were bringing unrelated remarks or events to this thread
I have nothing to gain or sell lying about you.
I echoed out your sentiments on crooked or shady activities, knowing that you find it hard to believe that leg lengthening healing will be brought to shore or locally.
If I've caused you a loss of self-esteem in saying or doing that. I am sorry and it wont happen again

Re: The Midas Touch- A Balanced Approach To Biblical Prosperity - Kenneth Hagin by vooks:
Utter unnecessary verbiage

Galatians 2:12-14King James Version (KJV)

12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.

13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?



The question is,
How do you read THEM ALL in verse 14 to means the Jews from Jerusalem of verse 12?

THEM is a pronoun referring to some plural noun mentioned earlier. What leap of Christ Embassy grammar or logic do you employ to IGNORE the most obvious reference to the immediate THEY of the same verse, skip the OTHER JEWS of verse 13 and land at CERTAIN THAT CAME FROM JAMES in verse 12, while ignoring ALL other plural nouns of the verse namely, Gentiles and THEM of Circumcision?


Am still waiting for you to paste a link not a paraphrase of where I said Paul rebuked Peter in Galatia. But of course you have a policy of not naming names so am sure you won't. I have evidence of your claims to immortality should you deny Jesus consent to take you home. I quoted you lest you go back and correct yourself. Please reciprocate.

goD mbaemeka, you are a highly intelligent primate unlike you know who and you know how to steer clear of controversies. I have observed your loud silence on Hagin's position on Firstfruits. You don't want to contradict and confuse your dumb church-mate with facts, don't want to break ranks cheesy. But you are not honest enough to admit you are wrong and your mentor, Spirit baptized or not is also wrong in their 'private-rebuke-before-leaders' theory. This is not supported by grammar nor logic but is a mere convenient doctrine to shield these men from scrutiny,rebuke and criticism. You don't need PhD in Koine Greek to understand verse 12-14. You don't even need to appeal to and recite the entire Acts or church history to see the obvious. You don't even need spiritual discernment or revelation; it is PLAIN and CLEAR to all. All you need to buy your theory is to arm yourself with tons of presumption and then read this into the text. You are embarrassing yourself

mbaemeka:
Read slowly, you would learn a few things. Acts 2 the AMP version.

22 Then the apostles and the elders, together with the whole church, resolved to select men from among their number and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, [both] leading men among the brethren, and sent them.

Question, if the men were sent with Paul and Barnabas did they actually travel with both men? NO

23 With [them they sent] the following letter: The brethren, both the apostles and the elders, to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings:

They sent them with a letter that was to be read in front of all the brethren in ANTIOCH, Syria and Cilicia.

30 So when [the messengers] were sent off, they went down to Antioch; and having assembled the congregation, they delivered the letter.

Proof that indeed the letter was delivered and in the presence of all- no skirmishes recorded thus far.

31 And when they read it, the people rejoiced at the consolation and encouragement [it brought them].

Virtually everyone knew about the letter in Antioch.

So how do we factor in Galatians 2? We can do so by establishing the following facts:

1. Peter must have arrived at Antioch before those sent by James. b) those sent by James got into Antioch after Paul and Barnabas had arrived there- they didn't travel together.
2. These men must have been leaders because James sent only leaders from the entire congregation in Jerusalem.
3. This must have happened after the Acts 15 encounter because Paul called them hypocrites seeing that THEY HAD ESTABLISHED CONVICTIONS from the meeting in Jerusalem only for them to arrive at Antioch and act contrary to what was agreed.
4. The circumcision party and men from James are one and the same.

11 But when Cephas (Peter) came to Antioch, I protested and opposed him to his face [concerning his conduct there], for he was blameable and stood condemned.
12 For up to the time that certain persons came from James, he ate his meals with the Gentile [converts]; but when the men [from Jerusalem] arrived, he withdrew and held himself aloof from the Gentiles and [ate] separately for fear of those of the circumcision [party].


Peter knew about the agreement in Jerusalem and he conducted himself rightly till the sent men came.

13 And the rest of the Jews along with him also concealed their true convictions and acted insincerely, with the result that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy (their example of insincerity and pretense).

What were their true convictions? The agreement in Jerusalem. The same one's they had read out to the WHOLE CONGREGATION according to Acts 15.

14 But as soon as I saw that they were not straightforward and were not living up to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Cephas (Peter) before everybody present, If you, though born a Jew, can live [as you have been living] like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how do you dare now to urge and practically force the Gentiles to [comply with the ritual of Judaism and] live like Jews?

They had just delivered the letter to the church but then behind the scenes they acted otherwise. Paul saw the hypocrisy and corrected the chief culprit in front of EVERYBODY PRESENT- proving it was not to all and sundry.

Pray tell me, how could the rebuke have been to the hearing of the whole church or gentiles or what not when according to Acts 15 the letter was delivered to the whole church already? And if the letter was delivered to the whole church when did the men from James and Peter have the time to act hypocritically in their presence? If they did not act hypocritically in their presence (presence of the whole church), then that leaves us to conclude that the group present when Paul spoke to Peter were the leaders sent from James and this makes sense because they were the one's to bring the agreement to the church (Acts 15) only to act otherwise (Gal 2:11-14).

So kindly tell me what you are trying to say. Is it that you cannot comprehend how that the people who joined Peter in the hypocrisy were the same men that came from James as well as Barnabas (Paul's companion)? Or can you show us how

1. All the Jews in Antioch
2. Gentiles
3. James men
4. The circumcision (Outright nonsense! for the circumcision referred to the same men from James)
5. the whole church in Antioch factored into the them all. And if you cannot do it, can we also conclude that you have made another brain fart by attempting to gloat over an issue that you clearly do not understand?

As per the evidence that you said Paul corrected Peter in front of the Galatian commoners I will show it to you and expect you to apologize for either poorly phrasing your words or simply mistyping. Here is:



I believe a better way of putting what you meant is "Does it bother you that Paul had no qualms publicizing this event to the Galatia commoners long after it occurred in Antioch". grin grin

How do medical science tie in with divine-health bliss?
They don't teach divine-banking,Law or transport grin grin but they insist that a believer can and should be disease free by just raising their faith and knowing and confessing healing verses. Why go for medical procedures while you can just pull levers and receive your healing ANY time?

You are the mother and father of all conjectures. Can't point to a thread on Eve-had-sex-with-the-serpent yet you label anti-WOFers as hypocritical for NOT rebuking one of 'their own' who claimed such. But Winsomex was spot on. It is a last resort when you are cornered. I never knew hallucinations could be a defense mechanism cheesy cheesy

And while at it, point where and when I said Paul rebuked Peter in Galatia or be a man for once and apologize for this false accusation against vooks

Now that we've come this far, mfrom the book, irrespective of the derailing the thread has endured, plus those who use extra monikers, but their line of reasoning betrays them, can we all agree that the book by Hagin was very needful at a time as these, even though the anti WoF folks seem to be innperfect churches and hence Hagin wrote the book for churches like CEC, LFC, RCCG, etc?

I'd put up chapter 9 today (hopefully), it'd then remain one last chapter. It was not surprising anti WoF guys har nothing to say about Hagin's 24 principles from the Epistles regarding money, givin and receiving-why? It caught them pants down

I have been silent since because of the bickering. It is too much, one can even get lost, this thread was supposed to be on the Midas touch & maybe the subject of prosperity not covered by the book.

Gombs you are still of the opinion that the so called "anti WOFers" have problem with giving(because of the bolded part)

you are wrong & I stand to be corrected, I give, I believe in giving & also believe that love should be one's motivating factor. My stand on the Christian giving is summarized in 2 Corinthians 9.

I have also seen from scripture how God intervened on behalf of men as they gave sacrificially & how he also moved without them giving(eg extension of hezekiah's life & miracle oil with the widow)

Striking a balance between the above lies on the leading of the Holy Spirit & not some man made formular

At this junction, I want to call on



WinsomeX
vooks
Candour
BabaGnoni
Lobeez
shdemidemi

& all the "anti WOFer's to state their stance on the Christian giving, so that we all know where we stand on the subject for posterity sake
