Benny Hinn is Back is South Africa

To Con the living daylights out of People who don’t read their bibles.

So Benny ‘$1000, that’s $1000 for salvation, $1000, …going…going…gone.  Sold to the man in the back’  Hinn is back in SA.  Woe to us.

If words don’t get the message across, maybe a little cartoon will.  The below two cartoons are from Sundays English and Afrikaans newspapers – 2010-02-27.

The Afrikaans version of the cartoon below, is different from the English version.  Did they censor it so as to not offend their readers?  Do they think English people can handle the truth and Afrikaans people can’t?  Or what?  I’m confused…

Ponder, ponder…

    Dear Elmarie,

    U need some serious professional help, and in desperate need of discernment. The very thing you claim to have, you lack! All these men whom you are accusing, have you ever been in their houses and spent some days with them and their families???

    Have you Leon been to their houses and spent some days with Benny Hinn and his family?

    There was this story once about a guy who went to visit a guy because he though he was a really nice person – he was murdered and never seen again. Just trying to show you how ridiculous your argument is.

    I have never made claims to anything. I have only given Biblical facts.

    Please Show me where did I do this what you are accusing me of to make claims oh pleeease!

    Nope I would not want to visit “them” have no reason to do so. What ever the “them” means?

    Oh I see you have your own ministrie well that make sense why you would defend the likes of Benny Hinn…..hmmmm
    Yikes no thank you I do not need your help.

    In 2002, at the age of 18, Leon radically experienced the supernatural power of God and was instantly delivered from living a life of total darkness, addiction, bondage and demonic influence. God called Leon to take that same experience and encounter that he had to the generation of this hour!

    In obedience to that call, Leon decided to rise up, and is currently overseeing “The Movement” http://www.themovement.co.za, a youth movement which is busy taking off in Umhlanga Rocks, South Africa under the leadership of Destiny Harvest Centre http://www.destiny.co.za and Senior Pastor, Marc Bredenkamp. Leon has also been ministering at youth camps, youth groups, churches and schools, sharing his testimony. His main focus is bringing deliverance and a spiritual encounter to the young people of this nation! http://leondupreez.com/?page_id=150

    I do not need your help thank you as I have all the help from the Lord Jesus and the Holly Spirit and the Word of God. That is the only professional help available you know. You could never dream of helping any one being so insulting and I will pray for your heart to open for your fellow human. But one needs to first love the Lord God with your whole body, mind and soul as Mark 12:30-31 tells us.

    Mark 12:30-31 (Amplified Bible)
    30And you shall love the Lord your God [a]out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your [b]life) and out of and with all your mind (with [c]your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. [d]This is the first and principal commandment.(A)
    31The second is like it and is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

    Oh I see you are also affiliated to Five Fold Ministries International (FFMI) with Harold Wietz hmmm very interesting. Harold Weitz also has very close family ties with Lewende Woord church of Neville Norden.

    Question: “What is the five (5) fold ministry?”

    Answer: The concept of the five-fold ministry comes from Ephesians 4:11, “It was he who gave some to be (1) apostles, some to be (2) prophets, some to be (3) evangelists, and some to be (4) pastors and (5) teachers.” Primarily as a result of this verse, some believe God has restored, or is restoring, the offices of apostle and prophet in the church today. Ephesians 4:12-13 tells us that the purpose of the five-fold ministry is, “to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” So, since the body of Christ definitely is not built up to unity in the faith and has not attained to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ, the thinking goes, the offices of apostle and prophet must still be in effect.

    However, Ephesians 2:20 informs us that the church is “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone.” If the apostles and prophets were the foundation of the church, are we still building the foundation? Hebrews 6:1-3 encourages us to move on from the foundation. Although Jesus Christ is most definitely active in the church today, His role as the cornerstone of the church was completed with His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension. If the work of the cornerstone is, in that sense, complete, so must the work of the apostles and prophets, who were the foundation, be complete.

    What was the role of the apostles and prophets? It was to proclaim God’s revelation, to teach the new truth the church would need to grow and thrive. The apostles and prophets completed this mission. How? By giving us the Word of God. The Word of God is the completed revelation of God. The Bible contains everything the church needs to know to grow, thrive, and fulfill God’s mission (2 Timothy 3:15-16). The cornerstone work of the apostles and prophets is complete. The ongoing work of the apostles and prophets is manifested in the Holy Spirit speaking through and teaching us God’s Word. In that sense, the five-fold ministry is still active.

    Dr Perold de Beer

    At the young age of sixteen I found Jesus as my personal Saviour under the ministry of the renowned Dr Oswald J Smith, pastor and missionary statesman. From that moment God gave me a passion for the lost and I spent almost the whole of my ministry in reaching out to Hindus and Muslims in South Africa. I was privileged to see many saved and delivered from sin and the occult.

    I was a founding member of the Reformed Church in Africa and established two congregations in Laudium (Pretoria) and in Phoenix (Durban). We set up the Charisma Evangelism Council to train Christians to reach their Hindu and Muslim neighbors with the saving love of Christ providing also the necessary training for those going abroad.

    My involvement in the “deliverance ministry” opened many avenues to help those who are bound irrespective of their church affiliation.

    I am at present the Moderator of the Reformed Church in Africa. My passion is to seek after a God-given revival in South Africa and beyond that will change the face of our land. In this connection I serve on the Advisory Board of Revival Congresses South Africa.

    My wife, Marietha, is a speech therapist. God has blessed her with a wonderful ministry in Marriage Counseling and leading young people to Christ.

    “Act-up is an organization that was birthed by the Spirit of the Lord to fulfill the growing need of people that have been caught up in the spiders web of all the lies of the enemy.

    In a country and a community where Biblical standards are no longer the foundation, the need for an organization to help and assist people and to lead them to the “true Tree of Life” is very timely. I believe that this organization can fill a great growing need in this hour.

    Jesus said in John 8:32, that a relationship with the Truth would set the captives free.”

    One of the most distressful problems today is substance abuse. Many families, friends and people are directly or indirectly influenced by it. Every organization that addresses these problem deserve appreciation and acknowledgement. Act-Up Support wants to make a difference from a Biblical view. What I appreciate from this organization is their passion, dedication and integrity in which they fulfill their vision and mission. In a hard and demanding missionary field Act-Up Support will make a difference in the future.

    Married to Virginia a teacher and we have two sons Kaludi and Ditheto. While at the training College for my teaching diploma, I was called in to the ministry on the 5th October 1995

    I was a member of the International Assemblies of God Mamelodi. We moved to Lindopark and started a branch for L.A.G. I was the general secretary for the church and a assistant pastor as well as a intercessory leader.

    By the Grace of God I was called to Arcadia in 2002 where I started a church with six members (two couples and two children)
    We grew to 60 members and have two branches. One in Arcadia and the other one at Ga-Matlou Village in Limpopo.
    God is still growing us and taking us to a higher dimension.

    Our church has moved to Melgisedek premises where we also take part in hospital ministry and acts of mercy like paying school fees and accommodation, provide food for those who can’t provide for themselves.

    I am praying to God to reveal Himself greatly in this time. My vision is to see multitudes coming to Christ and acknowledge Him as Lord.

    It is a privilege to be involved in intercessory prayer with Act-up Support and to be available to those who need support in accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

    All the Glory to our Father God through Jesus Christ our Saviour by the power of the Holy Spirit

    Dr. Stephan Joubert

    In a nutshell: Jesus really drives me crazy and, after 22 years, I am still passionately in love with my wife and my two wonderful kids. On the boring side: I served as professor in New Testament Studies at the University of Pretoria for almost thirteen years. During that time I produced a monograph on Paul and 50 irrelevant academic essays. However, my greatest passion has always been serving the emerging church of the Lord.

    I have written and co-edited more than 50 Christian books. Another milestone is my role as co-editor of a very contemporary Afrikaans translation of the Bible, Die Boodskap, together with Jan van der Watt. It has already received the CBSA award for the best religious publication of the year in South Africa on two occasions (1997 and 2003). About 200 000 copies, in several editions, of this translation have already been printed. An utterly enjoyable edition for children called My Eerste Boodskap has been translated into English, Dutch and Norwegian and has been published for worldwide distribution. In between, I also write a weekly column for a local newspaper and host a weekly radio program, for more than 600,000 listeners on (post-)modern day issues and the Bible. Apart from my role as part-time teaching pastor at a local church, Moreletapark, I also conduct church services and frequently speak at schools, companies and care groups throughout South Africa and abroad several times a week. Another hugely satisfying experience is my role as editor of an Afrikaans cyberchurch called ekerk and a phenomenal e-mail and e-coaching ministry for more than 34,000 people.

    Feedback of Hatfield and Westbury Trip

    About 2 weeks ago I went to Johannesburg to go minister at Hatfield Christian Church and also at Westbury, a gang-type area. The Saturday night I was scheduled to go to Westbury to minister there, not knowing what was going to happen. I saw God rocked up on the scene, in a neighborhood of poverty and broken people. The evening transpired as normal, until I made an altar call at around 9PM. At this point, as I was about to close the service, I started hearing people crying out to God. I started hearing weeping, and waling, all of a sudden, God rushed into the place and started delivering and setting people free. Devils started fleeing, and around 11h30PM the atmosphere was so saturated with the presence and the power of God that you could literally taste it!

    On that high note, I left Johannesburg around 12h30 the evening not wanting to go to sleep because of the burning fire of God!

    The next night I was scheduled to speak at Hatfield Christian Church North. Although, not exactly the same happened, God still did something great. Of about 800 – 1000 people, I saw more than 100 come to the altar for salvations! Here below are some pictures of what happened at Hatfield!

    Sooo you : “started hearing weeping, and waling, all of a sudden, God rushed into the place and started delivering and setting people free. Devils started fleeing, and around 11h30PM the atmosphere was so saturated with the presence and the power of God that you could literally taste it!”

    Did you see the Devils how did you identify them?

    What did they look like?

    How does one literally taste the atmosphere that was so saturated with the presence and the power of God?

    How did you see God rock up on the seen?

    Nooo really Leon you have me worried here.

    Deborah

    I picked up in your discussion with Ivin that you believe that the majority of people are not real Christians.
    When one looks at what Jesus said about His return to earth that “all the nations” would try and fight against Him it proves your point.
    My question to you is what happens when the ratpure has taken the few true believers away?
    What chance do those that remain have to then come to the truth, and what should we be doing about it?

  10. amedeo

    After the rapture there is a new dispensation. Where God will focus His attention to Israel. This is where the verses of Joel 2 come in. There will be those who remain that most definitely can come to know Jesus Christ – because they probably knew him before but refused to accept Him. Unfortunately they will be martyred for refusing to worship the Anti-Christ. Israel will receive the 2 witnesses as mention in Revelations – Elijah and Moses? It would take Elijah and Moses to get the Israelites to open their eyes – Elijah and Moses will preach to them about Jesus Christ their Messiah. At the same time the Anti-Christ will be there too persuading the Israelites that he is their Messiah. Remember God does seal 144,000 Jews who will witness during this time as well.

    Go read here
    and

    Also understand that there Jews, born again right now as we speak during the time of the Gentiles as evident in Acts. When the time of the Gentiles is over and God’s focus moves to Israel – can gentiles be saved? Absolutely, 10000000000% so.

    You wont be able to do anything because if you are born again you will be with Jesus. What is to come is not in our hands but in God’s hands. God deals with His people in a very different way as to how He deals with Gentiles. Notice how the WoF and NAR are constantly broadcasting their shows from Israel. They are this moment converting Jews to a false Christianity. It’s one big mess.

    Benny Hinn: Touch Not the Anointed One!

    Posted on May 23, 2010 by Chrystal

    1 John 4:1: (NASB)

    Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

    Here is a video sent to me by good friend, Bud Press of Christian Research Service. What you’ll see is Hinn claiming to possess so much of the anointing that merely touching him will suck it right out of him!

    When the video begins, you see Hinn being embraced by a young man who appears to be exhibiting a ”spiritual” manifestation. Upon questioning him, he reveals that he is headed for the NFL. Hinn then tells him that won’t work because God has called him into the ministry instead. So, Hinn effectively just reordered this man’s career path, and since we all know how accurate Hinn’s prophetic words can be (that being as close to zero as you can get), I’m hoping he won’t base his decision on what Hinn has told him.

    What you’re seeing is the “little god” complex coming out of Hinn. He said it’s rare he feels virtue come into him (because he possesses so much of it, I guess), but the young man not only siphoned the anointing out of him, but sent it into him as well. Sounds like some sort of spiritual transfer. Would you want that spirit transferred into you?

    Think about it.

  13. Elmarie A says:

    Bruno

    Was it really worth Commenting? Naaaaaaah cannot even give you an answer sorry Bruno

    But here is some Scriptural food for thought to ponder on.

    The apostle John tells us in his first epistle (1 John 4:1-6) how we are to discern which spirits are from God. “Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”

    It is of utmost importance that Christians are well-grounded in the Scriptures so that they are able to discern which teachers speak from God and which are false in their proclamation. Only then can we reject what is false and “hold on to the good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

    Jesus Christ said:

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell. (Mat 5:27-30)

    “What did Jesus mean when He instructed us to turn the other cheek?”

    Answer: The entire section of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in which this verse is found can be understood as one where Jesus actually serves to elevate the importance of following Israel’s moral law beyond the letter to the spirit of the law. Much of the material therein complements the nature of His coming characterized by mercy, sacrificial love, and longsuffering toward sinners while at the same time affirming the “last is first” principle upon which the kingdom of God is based.

    For instance, we are told to go the extra mile for someone who abuses us, and to pray for enemies instead of resisting them. All of this can be generally summarized by saying we need to be pure inside and out and should be as accommodating as possible for the sake of a lost world.

    To “turn the other cheek,” does not imply pacifism, nor does it mean we place ourselves or others in mortal danger. Like the principle of the eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth in verse 38, turning the other cheek refers to personal retaliation, not criminal offenses or acts of military aggression. Clearly Jesus did not mean to negate all God’s laws and injunctions protecting us against violent crime or invading armies. Rather, Jesus is speaking here of the principle of non-retaliation to affronts against our own dignity, as well as lawsuits to gain one’s personal assets (v. 40), infringements on one’s liberty (v. 41), and violations of property rights (v. 42). He was calling for a full surrender of all personal rights.

    Turning the other cheek means not to return insult for insult in retaliation, which is what most people expect and how worldly people act.

    Responding to hatred with love just might grab someone’s attention and afford us a chance to share the gospel.

    When we respond in a manner that is unnatural, it displays the supernatural power of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Jesus was the perfect example because

    He was silent before His accusers and did not call down revenge from heaven on those who crucified Him.

    Benny Hinn: “Methinks thou protest too loudly”

    Who is willing to follow the blind leading the blind?

    Benny Hinn has a reputation to some as a miracle man, a man who moves in the supernatural, who sees miracles on a regular basis. But to others, he is a reputed false teacher.

    Until the middle of this year, he was the focus of the supernatural for the ideologues that follow signs and wonders, that is until the Lakeland fire spread. The attention then shifted to a new kid on the block, an unheard of, named Todd Bentley.

    Now Benny Hinn has momentarily become what he has always criticized others of–a “heresy hunter,” and has attacked “God’s anointed,” according to the Bentley camp of signs and wonders.

    Many will see this tactic as one wolf calling out another wolf from feeding on their sheep and interpret it as a move of self-preservation, because of the diminishing donations. A number of us discussed this months ago, wondering when this very event would take place.

    Where was Benny Hinn during the Lakeland revival? Where was Hinn when the controversies reached a fever pitch? Maybe he thought it would not affect his ministry and thought it best to remain silent.

    Nevertheless, Hinn’s decision to speak out against the Florida revival, after the damage was done, puts him in a quandary in a number of ways. True prophets do not hesitate to warn when the body of Christ of impending danger; false prophets warn after the damage is done. Hinn’s allowing the Lakeland revival to run its course and ruin thousands of lives demonstrates he is not a man called to action by God. A true prophet or teacher would not allow this on their watch.

    Benny Hinn has reached a sophisticated level of deception that can be undetected by the majority of church goers, even some who are Bereans. He has learned well from his critics and has, for the most part, kept his mouth from uttering the normal heresies he has been known for in the past. But he is still not divorced from the money he solicits from his followers everywhere he goes, and Benny Hinn Ministries needs mega-bucks to continue operating.

    Hinn’s ministry was moribund because of Bentleys success, and he chose not to speak out when the bar was being raised to become the new wave, as did the Toronto and Brownsville revivals of the past. So why did he wait so long to speak out on the Lakeland revival? Only when it becomes necessary and advantageous for him to speak. Because Bentley is no longer operating, it is an opportune time for Hinn to draw the people back to him.

    Yet, as one who claims to be a prophet of God, Benny Hinn is surrounded by an ocean of contradictions on what he says, not just what he does. Here is an example:

    There is no such thing as a laughing revival. There is no such thing as a laughing – it is not in the Bible. I do not see it in the Bible. Much of what happens is pure emotionalism – contagious laughter. What does it do except make you look stupid? I am not interested in some emotional up” (“Praise The Lord,” July 4, 1997).

    A few months later, Rodney Howard-Browne–the very man who started the laughing revival–was a guest on Hinn’s program. In fact, it was Hinn who launched Rodney Howard-Browne into ministry, when he allowed it all to happen at his own meeting, as he endorsed the laughter in 1991 (seen on the video Benny Hinn: Spirit of truth or Spirit of Error). Laughter broke out among the children at Hinn’s meeting, and Rodney Howard-Browne, who was already on stage ready to go, was called forward by Hinn, who said: “Rodney, God has given you a great anointing for this. Let the holy laughter hit them in Jesus’ mighty name.”

    Hinn passed “it” on to Rodney Howard-Browne and Randy Clark received it and brought it to the Vineyard churches. The Todd Bentley revival is a continuation of Pensacola that came from Toronto that came from Rodney Howard-Browne that came from Benny Hinn, etc, etc.

    HINN SAYS TBN WILL RAISE DEAD VIEWERS

    Undaunted by the news media’s debunking of his claim that a man was raised from the dead at one of his healing crusades, Benny Hinn presses on with divine revelations of worldwide resurrections.

    “I’m telling you, I can feel the anointing talking here. People are going to be canceling funeral services and bringing their dead in their caskets, placing them — My God, I feel the anointing here — placing them before a television set, waiting for God’s power to come through and touch them,” Hinn told Paul and Jan Crouch and their Trinity Broadcasting Network viewing audience last fall. The program originally aired live Oct. 19, 1999. It has been replayed several times on TBN, including Jan. 7, 2000.

    Of course, according to the controversial faith healer, the television sets will need be tuned to TBN. “You’re going to have people raised from the dead watching this network. … People around the world who will lose loved ones will say to undertakers, ‘Not yet, I want to take my dead loved one and place him in front of that TV set for 24 hours,’” Hinn announced to the network’s followers.

    Hinn also alleged that God was showing him “rows of caskets lining up in front of this TV set.” “I see them bringing them closer to the TV set and as people are coming closer, I see loved ones picking up the hands of the dead and letting them touch the screen and people are getting raised as their hands are touching that screen,” Hinn said. “The word will spread that if some dead person be put in front of this TV screen, they will be raised from the dead — and they will be by the thousands,” Hinn promised the Crouches and the viewers of their Praise the Lord show.

    That is awesome Bruno! I am totally for you on those comments! lol, Unfortunately some people are forever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth! But hey, I have much better things to do for example saving souls and advancing His Kingdom rather than commenting and attacking men of God. Love u lots Bruno, Let’s go kick some devil butt!

  20. Amanda says:

    Leon

    How do you save souls and from what do you save them? Do you encourage youngsters to experience trances and do you hear God speaking to you? Do you believe Benny Hinn is a man of God?

    Let’s go kick some devil butt!

    “Do Christians have the authority to rebuke the devil?”

    Answer: There are some Christians who believe they not only have the authority to rebuke the devil, but they believe they must be about the business of rebuking him continually. There is no biblical basis for such a belief. It must be remembered that Satan, unlike God, is not omnipresent. He can only be in one place at a time, and the likelihood of his personally harassing individual Christians is miniscule. Of course, he has legions of demons who do his bidding, and they are everywhere seeking to destroy believers’ testimonies. It should be noted here that the Christian cannot be possessed by a demon, in the same way people in the Bible are described as being possessed.

    As Christians, we need to be aware of the reality of the presence of evil. As we struggle to stand firm in our faith, we must realize that the enemies we are up against are not merely human ideas, but real forces that come from the powers of darkness. The Bible says, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” Ephesians 6:12, NAS).

    Clearly, God has allowed Satan significant amounts of power and influence over the earth, at least for the time being, and always within God’s sovereign control. The Bible tells us that he prowls around like a lion in search of prey, looking for victims to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Satan is the power at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God (Ephesians 2:2). Anyone who is not under the control of the sovereign God is under the control of the devil (Acts 26:18; 2 Corinthians 4:4). Born-again Christians are no longer enslaved to Satan or to sin (Romans 6:6-7), but this does not mean we are immune to the temptations that he puts before us.

    The Bible does not give Christians the authority to rebuke the Devil, but to resist him. James 4:7 (NLT) says to “submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Zechariah 3:2 tells us that it is the Lord who rebukes Satan. Even Michael, one of the most powerful of the angels, did not dare to accuse Satan, but rather said, “The Lord rebuke you” (Jude 1:9). In response to Satan’s attacks, a Christian should hide under the covering of Christ. Instead of focusing on defeating the devil, we should focus on following Christ (Hebrews 12:2) and trust that He will defeat the forces of evil.

    It is not necessary for a Christian to rebuke Satan because God has given us His full armor to stand against evil (see Ephesians 6:10-18). The most effective weapons we have against the devil are our faith, wisdom, and knowledge about God and His Word. Even Christ, when tempted by Satan, did not rebuke him but answered him with Scripture (see Matthew 4:1-11). To gain victory in spiritual matters, we must maintain a clear conscience and have control over our thoughts. “For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

    Hey,
    Is it just me, or does ‘Bruno’ look like Brian Houston of Hillsong in Sydney Australia?
    I guess he doesn’t believe in Christians criticizing the behaviour of other Christians huh?
    But then, why the sarcasm?
    Ah well, Jeremiah wasn’t well received either!

    Shalom all,
    Alan.

  23. Grant says:

    Alan (and Leon / Bruno)

    Is it just me, or does ‘Bruno’ look like Brian Houston of Hillsong in Sydney Australia?
    I guess he doesn’t believe in Christians criticizing the behaviour of other Christians huh?
    But then, why the sarcasm?

    I must agree with Alan here, although here’s hoping this blog hasn’t attracted the attention of the likes of Brian Houston aswell. But then again, maybe he could benefit from a little Christian opinion, as I’m sure he doesn’t mingle with too much of that, it certainly would adversely affect his pocket.

    Regarding the sarcasm Alan mentions. It is quite evident that the likes of Bruno “the Dude who is Anti-Scriptural” and Leon “the Dudette or Devil Slayer or Saver of Souls” as I’m going to fondly refer to them due to their New Age affiliation (I’m hoping they won’t be too personally offended), cannot turn to Scripture to support their points of view, for obvious reasons. Slight over-simplification would equate their religion with non-Biblical beliefs. No matter how hard one tries, one cannot stretch the Truth as far as they would like to.

    It is common practice thus, for persons who would defend false religions, to resort to name-calling and sarcasm in a futile effort to make themselves, their evil heroes and their falsehoods, seem justifiable. As Christians our duty is to expose these practitioners, not in an effort to justify our own point of view, but for the sake of the true Church. As Paul eloquently instructs:

    Act 20:28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
    Act 20:29 I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;
    Act 20:30 and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them.

    Would you all forgive me for putting it into some Newer Age lingo:
    Leon, ‘zit my Bro! Devil Slaya! Some brotherly advice I give freely: Howz ’bout choo answer some of da questions asked ‘ere instead a critsizng da Christians? Dis ting ‘ere ’bout jah putting da kidz into trances, now dat aint cool mon! Whatcha smokin’ dere?

    Bruno, my udda brudda! The Truth is in the coolest book of them all, you eard ’bout it ‘bro? – ’tis called The Bible. Howz ’bout choo stop being sarcastic and read it? Borrow some ‘air from da Leon dude, mon! Jool both feel free and look way good! Ciao

    >>>I have much better things to do for example saving souls<<<

    You like putting your foot in it don't you mate? wanna rephrase this… quickly?

  25. Amanda says:

    Robbie

    It was not a slip of the tongue. He also says it here:

    Do you know that you have the ability to save someone from an eternity in hell, and propel them into their destiny? What an awesome responsibility! I have no doubt that you will receive great eternal rewards for doing this. So let’s go for it!

  26. Elmarie A says:

    Amanda/Robbie

    And further it also says : Bring your friends, bring family members, bring strangers, bring someone and come and be touched!

    Touched by what ?? definitley not by our Jesus we know so dearly or the Holy Spirit. It could only be a false Jesus and demonic spirit.

    We must pray for Leon and Kie that they find the Real Jesus and Holy Spirit.

    Just to think how they deceive young kids make my heart break into a milion pieces.

  27. Leon says:

    Dear Elmarie, Amanda, Robbie, Alan, Grant and the likes…

    Firstly, I do not have the time to answer your 100 question game. I am accountable and responsible first of all to Jesus Christ and to my oversight.

    Secondly, I have much better things to do than criticize, accuse, name calling (It is quite evident that the likes of Bruno “the Dude who is Anti-Scriptural” and Leon “the Dudette or Devil Slayer or Saver of Souls”) or any other carnal behavior.

    Thirdly, I feel very sad for those who are associated to you and intoxicated by the spirit of error and demons of doctrines which has crept into your lives. I will be saying a few prayers for you and more for those who are influenced by you then after that I will be wiping the dust of my feet regarding this “place”…

    God Bless you all!
    Leon du Preez

  28. Amanda says:

    Leon

    You said:

    I have much better things to do than criticize, accuse, name calling

    Do you then repent for saying to Elmarie:

    U need some serious professional help, and in desperate need of discernment.

    and

    Unfortunately some people are forever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth!

    You say:

    I feel very sad for those who are associated to you and intoxicated by the spirit of error and demons of doctrines which has crept into your lives.

    I take it you mean doctrines of demons? Could you please point out where we taught a doctrine of demons? You seem to be an expert on demons. You teach the youngsters:

    Unfortunately at this level there is no deliverance and freedom. At this level a believer can come full of devils, pray and ask God things, leave and come back the next night with the same devils.

    Shame on you for misleading them into believing that a Christian can have both the Holy Spirit and demons!

    Leon, what is this all about?:

    You might be in your darkest hour right now, but I want to tell you that you have a treasure to find there! You have the ability to embrace this time of struggle and prevail and discover His treasure for you!

    Even JESUS had to prevail and go through his darkest hour in order to fulfill His Destiny!

    Check with your overseer, but my advice to you is to take that article down as soon as possible.

  29. Amanda says:

    Leon

    after that I will be wiping the dust of my feet regarding this “place”…

    You did not come here to proclaim the Good News, but to attack us for defending Christianity against false teachings that you are part of. Your are welcome to spread your spirituality and you may call it what you want, but if you choose to use the name of our great God and Savior to promote your luring youngsters into experiencing trances, then we shall expose you and warn parents, teenagers and the schools against you.

    Repent from your false teaching and your trances. Jesus Christ died even for that and He freely offers you forgiveness for your sins.

  30. Elmarie A says:

    Leon

    I echo the words of Amanda to you : Repent from your false teaching and your trances. Jesus Christ died even for that and He freely offers you forgiveness for your sins.

    and also these words that Amanda said Check with your overseer, but my advice to you is to take that article down as soon as possible.

    Leon shame on you for misleading the young and innocent with your works of false teachings and it is shocking!!!

    John 3:19-21 (Amplified Bible)

    19The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil.(A)

    20For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved.

    21But he who practices truth [who does what is right] comes out into the Light; so that his works may be plainly shown to be what they are–wrought with God [divinely prompted, done with God’s help, in dependence upon Him].
