Supernatural events
With all the shams of preachers, i.e. gemstones from heaven, green miracle rags, orbs in pictures, and the gullability of people, folks are believing this stuff.
Being a seeker of truth, and exactly what God wants us to be, this concerns me.
Nobody wants to reveal these fakes more than me, and I have no problem telling others. my Pastor, the congregation, whatever. But it's been told to me, that I may not be correct in doing this. I was told I could be letting peoples hopes down.
I say what's the sense of having false hope?
What do you guys think I should do about it?
Should I continue revealing the truth?
If so, whats the best way of going about this?
Do I have a right to mess with what people believe in?
Oh, and BTW, it is something I have prayed about for some time now. At a conference of about 500 people, this guy at the very end ( I was there 3 days) started showing us pictures with orbs, and anomalys, saying it was spirits from God. I knew it wasn't. An overwelming feeling of anger came over me, and I prayed right there on the spot. The answer I felt I got was, if you run into this guy, then tell him what you know.
We were leaving in 10 minutes, so I didn't think was going to happen. We walked out early to get a head start back home, and on the way out, I bumped into...you got it, the guy. My wife was with me. I proceeded to tell him all that I knew about orbs in pictures, and he looked like a kid that just dropped his ice cream cone. By that look I knew he honestly thought they were real. He also mentioned that he had a newspaper photographer tell him that they were unexplainable and were probably real. So he did make an attempt at trying to confirm that they were real. He gave me his email, and I emailed him all that I knew about it. I did not recive a response, so I don't know what happened after that, I am dying to find out.
I was concerned because this guy teaches courses on integrety, and I don't want people who are smart to think he doesn't have integrety, and possibly stop looking for God based on this crap. The thought of false idles comes to mind also.
I even wrote to that Patricia King about her little video on orbs.
(Patricia King's website is the one hosting the video about the gemstones)
Yes, I am fustrated.
