intresting post mac,
im sure miracles are performed by people proclaiming to be health feelers,(not that many spring to mind,lol)the only one ive had a experience of is the english medium "Doris Stokes" who although mainly working with contacting deceased spirits,she as also reportedley "laid her hands" on the afflicted and relieved their pains ?
either way i dont think tricking desperate people who would try anything for their loved ones into paying for faith healing to be morraly correct!

Regards!

Benny Hinn was my comedy relief hour when I was feeling down. His antics, and the 'flock' cheering him, brought tears of laughter to my eyes. I loved when he would read letters sent to him, and state, 'someone with lung cancer was just healed', right in the middle of reading a letter. I would keel over from laughing so hard.

What a crock. If we had 10 Bennys in the world, disease and cancer as we know it would be eradicted.

When I was a kid (6th grade), I developed a couple of cysts. The doctor did not know if they were malignant or not, so they put me on the strongest of meds (to shrink them). I finished off the bottle and the cysts had grown larger. The doctor then scheduled me for biopsy surgery.

There was a faith healer (preacher) visiting a local church and my mother asked me if I would like to go out and see him. Give the praying over me a try? I said, sure. Why not? It can't hurt. Besides, I always have believed what Jesus said about faith.

We went out there for the service and I went down to the stage when that time came. People were standing there with people praying for them. Each time the preacher laid his hands on someone, they would pass out and fall backwards into waiting arms. That's some spirit, I thought! When he came to me, he prayed and they prayed and then he told me to go away healed. I did not pass out like everyone else and felt weird. I was the only one, I believe, who didn't need folks to catch me. I walked back to my pew and took a seat.

It was mind-blowing.. I went back to the doctor the next day for one last check up before surgery and he examined me. He found NO cysts. They were completely GONE! That medicine didn't do squat, but the prayers and my belief in them did. It was amazing. So, needless to say, I didn't have to go under the knife afterall. Praise God for that!

It was a miracle, pure and simple. So, I know it happens. As for all these creeps, or televangelists, most of them are complete frauds. I just ignore them.

Yeah exactly. The minute a religious person or organisation starts flaunting big expensive decorations, showing they have an excess of money I stop believing them. If they were truly religious, they would be using the excess money to help the needy. Put a coupla homeless people up in a house for a few weeks, open a meals-on-wheels van, do something USEFULL instead of spending all the profits on fancy decorations, speaker systems and tv broadcasts.
