This is something that I’ve started doing in several group chats that I’m in, posting several links to videos and breaking down things that I agree and disagree with about the video and the theology within. I figured you guys might enjoy it, too!

False display of spiritual gifts. Notice how he forces the conversation in a certain direction:

True display of spiritual gifts. All of the reactions seem genuine:

I’ve never known a lot about the Freemasons, but this seems quite creepy to me:

What Hinn was doing before should have been illegal to begin with. This is a whole new level of stupid:

This very well could be a false testimony, but the body language, the fact that he’s not pointing to himself but to God, and how he’s explaining everything seems legitimate. I definitely need to meditate on the message he gave on Christians wanting an Elijah moment when they need a Jesus moment. I struggle with that:

I don’t technically have a specific opinion on the Rapture. I’ve always believed that the idea of the Rapture was formed from putting Acts 1:9 and Luke 17:34-35 together, but I’m not married to it and I certainly don’t think it’s a primary issue:

This is amazing! Obviously, like any testimony, it could be false, but it doesn’t seem to be. Him talking fast, repeating things, kind of taking over the interview/talking over the interviewer, and forgetting details and going back to them could be evidence that he’s lying, but it could also just be a side effect of him being excited about what God has done in his life:

In the first century, the “Eye of the Needle” was a narrow gateway into Jerusalem. Camels needed to be un-loaded before passing through the gate, which opened after the main gate closed at night. This analogy suggests that rich people would need to unload their material possessions in order to enter heaven:

The other day, my friend and I were talking about whether the idea that God loves the sinner but hates the sin is biblical or not. This video is a very good response to this question, especially the 2nd half of it:

This is very interesting:

There are actually several points in this that I disagree with here, a lot that I agree with, but several that I don’t.
I believe that demonic attacks can include anything between small, subtle temptations and actual encounters with demonic entities. I have heard MANY claims, one specifically coming from an agnostic co-worker of mine, of someone seeing/speaking to some sort of figure that matches the description of a demonic entity in one fashion or another (a lot of people who have experienced these things believe that these figures are aliens, ghosts, spirits, sleep paralysis demons, or shadow people. I believe that all of these titles are deceptions from that demonic entity). Are they always this way? No. Could there be other explanations for this demonic attack other than a spiritual answer (I.E. mental illness/psychedelics)? Yes. Is it definitely a mental illness and NOT a demonic attack? Maybe.
I actually agree with them here, I just don’t think it was fleshed out completely. I don’t think that demons cause you to sin, however, I believe that they can hold the carrot on a stick in front of your face.
I think that Johnny contradicts himself when he says that demons don’t have access to your thoughts, and then later he says something about demonization being a progression that starts with your thoughts. If demons can implant thoughts, then they can read your thoughts. It’s possible that demons don’t have access to your HEART, but I would still be reluctant to say that.
