Our America - Faith Healers

I think it's possible, but I'm forced to question the motives of anyone who uses it as a gimmick to raise money. I don't think my gods would approve of someone using their gifts in this manner.
 
I watched that show, and I think it's just a scheme to get money. It's really disturbing.
 
I am most certainly a man with much faith in God, but concerts for ailing people and some guy laying on of hands is bogus. Benny Hinn and that crowd are just entertainers. Faith is personal and while it is good to be shared with others it's not for spectacle and showmanship.
 
The church I used to attend in London would have healing services every month or two at which laying-on of hands would take place. I never thought that people were being cured of medical ailments through divine intervention. For us the idea was that the 'miracle' would be the benefit that the person would gain from the love, prayer and power of God that all present were trying to channel. No one was seeking to claim miraculous cures, just to help in the bolstering of the individual's own body and soul in contributing to its own healing. I think that is why so many good Christians get very upset at the showmanship of the charlatans who are seeking to gain fame and fortune from a very modest and loving process.
