Why are you skeptical? Do you think I made it up? I knew my old pastor for many years and I heard that testimony years before I had even heard of this forum. In all my years of serving God I only known one other man who was living as close to God as my old pastor. He would not lie. He did not make up the story. He also related to me and others many of the healings which resulted from his father's ministry while a teacher and preacher of the gospel. He witnessed personally many of those healings. He himself was also healed physically.
Why is this testimony less valid than what you read in the 4 gospels of the Bible? Did you know any of the gospel writers personally? Did God give you a personal revelation that the Bible stories were all true?
You doubt that there was such a healing, but I do have the names of the man healed and the name of the doctor whose words were cited. The written records may still exist in Canada, but even you saw them would you be believe? Why did you start this thread if you are unwilling to consider what people might say? What kind of proof would you need that would be acceptable to you? Consider the following words from the Bible:
| Joh 20:24 | But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. |
| Joh 20:25 | The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. |
| Joh 20:26 | And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. |
| Joh 20:27 | Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. |
| Joh 20:28 | And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. |
| Joh 20:29 | Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. |

He knows if he has to beleive this , the rest of the doctrine he has learned about many other things , is gonna come
crashing down . He must fight and continue to fight to resist the truth . That is very sad to see . But he aint alone
either . Many folks can even see truth but if it contradicts their own trapped minds , they will never see it AS TRUTH .
Many have went down a real bad road amadeus . preterism and other isms have caused many schisms
and much confusion .
You will see this mindset in anyone who does not want to let go of a lie .
IF you brought them to a forest , they will still find fault and say , THAT AINT NO FOREST
its just billions upon billions of trees . They can see the trees but cannot see the forest .
mathew got engrained into preterism and other things . The doctrines of men with agendas
will cloud the heart and the mind and though a man brings them to a beach
and shows them this beach and beautfiul ocean , they will say , that aint no beach its billions of tons of sand
and that aint no ocean its just trilliions of gallons of salt water . THEY always resist my friend .
The only thing i can do for mathew is , pray for him , and yes i must expose the dangerous teachings
he does bring . Let us pray for him to come to the true simplicity , the plain and pure and simple walk
of the LORD CHRIST JESUS . where the bible is our friend and we have no need to twist it or to sit under men who do so .
Many folks can get things cleared up , pretty quick too , if they would simply say
WELL i will just read the bible for myself daily . IF they do that with no agenda in mind
but just cause the truth is their desire , I am telling us things could have been cleared up quite fast .
I HAVE SEEN IT . So let us pray he gets back into the bible for himself and just reads it for himself
through the lens and the doctrines of NO OTHER MAN . Watch what would happen if he did that .
