A great Christian revival will soon take place.

Billy Graham is now 95 years old.  When he dies, a great revival (the greatest in history) will sweep the earth.  So says Benny Hinn. 

Supernatural Manifestations of the Power of God as Predicted by Kenneth Copeland, a modern-day Prophet

Kenneth Copeland is a well-known TV preacher.  He proclaims the importance of faith in the life of Christians.  According to him, dramatic supernatural manifestations of the power of God are occurring and will continue to occur.  In particular, Christians will experience the supernatural cancellation of their debts and supernatural transportation from one location to another.  Airplanes are thus unnecessary.  One wonders why Kenneth Copeland's organization has owned airplanes.  See

In the video below, Mr. Copeland transmits to his followers the actual words of God (or Jesus). One might say that Kenneth Copeland has thereby added to the Bible and some theologians would condemn such additions to the Bible as heresy.

Pat Robertson is a false prophet. Why don't other Christians condemn him?

The Bible has harsh words for false prophets.  Deuteronomy 18:20 says, "But the prophet, who shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die."  Many New Testament passages condemn false prophets.  Matthew 7:15 says, " Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves."  Pat Robertson is the founder and Chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network and is the Chancellor of Regent University.  He sought to be the Republican nominee in the 1988 Presidential election.  He is a well-known and influential Christian leader.  Pat Robertson said on TV that God had informed him that Mitt Romney would twice be elected President.  That false prophecy is on the first video below.  In the second video Pat Robertson gives his predictions for 2014.  He says that in 2014 the Republicans will take over the Senate, Iran will develop a nuclear device, there will be a credit crisis, Islam will be in retreat, and it will be the greatest year ever in the history of the Christian church.  If some or all of these prophecies are proven false, will many Christians condemn Pat Robertson as a false prophet?  I doubt it.  I don't expect them to stone Pat Robertson to death in accordance with Deuteronomy 18:20, but it would be refreshing to hear some harsh words in condemnation of Pat Robertson on Christian TV.  Given his past false predictions, you would think Pat Robertson would be humble enough to admit the error of his ways and cease making predictions.  But he is not in the least bit humble.  He thinks he is a modern-day prophet of God, a 21st century Isaiah or Jeremiah.

                                                                     

                   

Snake Handling Pastor Won't Face Criminal Prosecution

A grand jury has decided not to indict Rev. Andrew Hamblin, who has been previously discussed in this blog.  In 2013 state wildlife agents seized about 50 venomous snakes, including copperheads and rattlesnakes, from his church.  The snakes are used in religious services in accordance with Mark 16:18.  Following seizure of the snakes, church members and others rallied round the pastor and called for the snakes to be returned to the church.  http://scott.wbir.com/news/news/634102-grand-jury-decides-not-indict-snake-handling-pastor
