be able to resurrect the dead – then there are good reasons to relax their skeptical thinking.
But if you’re among the thousands of other believers during an intense sermon by their ward leaders, it is perhaps not as easy.
On Monday published the Alleluia Ministries International church in south Africa, a three-hour-long video in which the church’s pastor Alph Lukau performs a miracle that is usually reserved for Jesus.
Let me take it from the beginning.
to have such good contacts with God that he can heal people. And in a sermon before the several thousand people we get to see how several wheelchairs is carried out of the church at the same time as the cameras zoom in people who previously resided in them, now staggering around sometimes the parishioners, of the other supported on the friends, and perhaps relatives.
To end a great small skrotgård with wheelchairs lined up on the stage, mixed with a crutch, while the pastor Alph Lukau is screaming more and more excitedly:
– please Continue to pray, continue to pray, Jesus is a mirakelgörande god.
But this is only the beginning.
minutes in the film rullan a bårbil from Kings & Queens Funeral Services, outside the church, caught by the ever present cameras. Some women are conveniently crying next to it.
And a moment later pops up a woman up, shouting full throat: ”Something is happening here outside!”
And she sleeps soon for a miracle:
– When the car drove into the church area, said a neighbor who followed the dead man that he had seen how the corpse began to move my fingers!
the coffin with the corpse was dragged out of the car and soon placed it, now with the lid removed, on a table while the crowd intrudes. A woman, claiming to be the man’s landlord, explaining that the man died on Friday and was on his way to Zimbabwe to bury him.
” He got sick and started coughing and then they took him to the hospital. And then he died.
But the neatly dressed pastor Lukau sounds no so simple to prevent him. And the congregation expect even a miracle.
For us who knows a little bit easier doubt, it is perhaps not as easy to believe. Especially as the man in the coffin, lying there with her mouth wide open, I find it very difficult to hold your breath. And none of the ”relatives” around the chest care.
The dead to breathe but his widow does not seem particularly surprised.
Lukau their hands over the dead and suddenly traveling him out of the coffin like a zombie, still with her mouth wide open but certainly happy that he can now breathe so that it is visible.
the Spectacle continues, and inside the church, the assembly can follow what is happening on a large teveskärm. After a while, let the pastor in the wild staring corpse in his white suit like a hypnotized Frankenstein’s monster stumble around also inside the church.
“This is an amazing miracle,” says pastor Lukau before he sets himself in the chest.
It would be easy to laugh at it all if it were not so serious.
Manipulation is probably the word I’m looking for.
the middle east is another.
mass hysteria a third.
the misery, it is enough to ask a simple question is: how could someone see that ”the dead” touched on the fingers when he lay in a solid wooden cover in a car where the coffin stood alone in the rear?
Alph Lukau is a dangerous one. A man who purports to heal the sick and resurrect the dead. I feel again the method of Jim Jones, the man who eventually took the life of its 918 members of the ward, when he appeared in San Francisco. Jones then used the aide played blind, paralyzed and deaf.
All was timely healthy when pastor Jones kept his healing hands upon them. Not just once, but also next Sunday.
thus, the pastor Lukau able to perform the same miracle. A spectacle that does not convince anyone – except the members.
in Addition, have begravningsentreprenören who owns the car moved away from the resurrection of the dead. On his Facebook page writing Kings & Queens Funeral Services that you are going to sue the good pastor.
