Sounds like he needs to call up the 700 club to help get rid of his pain. All that modern medicine is the work of satan!

[LePaul]

"Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers."

from: "16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God"

They don't denounce it. It simply isn't used. Interesting he's going against his faith in this instance.

"Naturally Christians ought not put their hope and confidence in humanity but God, yet God frequently chooses to utilize humans for His purposes. God may use a variety of means, but all healing is dependent upon Him, whether natural or supernatural."

Seems mighty ambiguous to me and the "chapter 12" they refer to page is gone. I like the "speaking in tongues" thing they did for his senate confirmation tho--Pentecostals are extreme freaks.

"On January 4, 1995, just minutes before Republican John Ashcroft was sworn in as a U.S. senator, he did something quite out of character for a new member of the nation’s political elite. He knelt on the floor while several family members from Missouri gathered around him. Some laid their hands on his shoulders; others quietly spoke in tongues--the Pentecostalist practice of talking in ecstatic, jumbled phrases thought to be a heavenly language. Ashcroft’s frail 83-year-old father, J. Robert Ashcroft, then took a bottle of ordinary cooking oil and poured some of it on his son in the same manner that the biblical prophet Samuel anointed a young King David."

Nice to see your acceptance of other religions.

C'mon Martlet. If this nut was with Kerry you'd be having a field day. Ashcroft is so far out there Babe Ruth couldn't hit him one.

Are you back here again?  I'm still waiting for you to finish the last conversation you ran from.

Sorry, I don't live on here 24/7. What do you want?

[GtoRA2]

Maybe you will get lucky and God will take pity on idiots?

You can't send us to the corner anymore.  It singles us out, and the courts forbid it.
