UNMASKING THE CHARISMATIC HERESY "For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths" 2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "False messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead, if that were possible, the elect" Mark 13: 22 - "The smoke of Satan has entered the Church" Pope Paul VI

BIBLE HEALINGS



The aim of Bible healings was not to wipe out disease, otherwise the mission of Jesus and the Apostles would have failed pretty miserably. Bible healings were sign gifts to hasten conversions to the new Church. The mission of the Holy Spirit is no different; its mission is not to benefit the body, but the soul. The Holy Spirit gives himself to us not for wiping out disease; but to make us, in sickness OR in health, into the image of Christ. And herein is the BIG LIE of charismania: its objective is always the present; its aim is to serve the corruptible body and not the eternal soul.

The Holy Spirit will not perform on cue to bequest sign gifts to an already converted crowd. For sure God heals in every age through natural means and even in response to prayer, but not through certain "gifted" individuals who go from place to place claiming to be God’s instruments of healing people.

About Me

My photo
Canada
I am a recovering charismatic and a Catholic Orthodox; observing orthopraxis to the best of my ability. I acknowledge what the Church REALLY DOES TEACH; opposed to what some people erroneously say the Church teaches. “Catholic Orthodoxy” is proposed "to conform to the Catholic faith as taught by the Magisterium of the Church. So an "orthodox" person is one who is FAITHFUL to the teachings of the Church, whereas a "heterodox" person is somebody who rejects ANY Catholic dogma. Orthopraxis means "Performing the correct actions". Catholic Orthodoxy is defined by the Catechism: it tells us what we have to TO BELIEVE. Catholic Orthopraxis is denoted by the Code of Canon Law: it spells out what we have TO DO. Because “Truth is not determined by a majority vote" -- Pope Benedict XVI.
