I genuinely thought this was the ramblings of a methed out Ozarkian… I didn’t realize this was legitimately brought to their congregation as something to celebrate. I’m in awe…

Would have been easier to remove the remaining toes rather then making your church look ridiculous.... how stupid are people?...

"Tonight, I can stand on my tippy-toes. Listen, do you understand?" Dines said in the video. "I can stand on tippy-toes. No, I couldn't do that because I didn't have toes to tippy on."

Seriously, get fucked if you're a Christian and this is where you draw the line. Deconstruct now. Be good to people for the sake of being a good person and spread compassion and empathy. Fuck religious persecution, trauma, violence, indoctrination, patriarchy, homophopia, racism, and sexual assault. The real world is waiting

I'm interested because I want to see a spectacular win or fail. It's going to be one or the other. Let's watch.

“Aren’t so sure.” No, I am positive that did not happen. You are insane. Please seek help.

I honestly feel like there must be some sort of legal issue with lying about this… I mean they are going to scam people out of a lot of money who want to be healed

I’m so happy this got picked up by the Springfield media. It’s so batshit insane yet that church has become a central part of so many lives in this area. They should be laughed out of the goddamn state. They won’t, but they should. At the very least, they’ll lose some tithes.

Regrown toes!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely at James River Church!?

I went there years ago with a friend who thought I’d enjoy it, but I hated it.

They don’t even have bibles in their pews or seats at James River Church. Like they definitely could afford to have that so what the hell?

All the scripture they used were from different chapters & verses that didn’t even go together to teach any rational lesson from the Bible. The worst part is we couldn’t even check to see if they were the correct verses or some made up bullcrap.

They are literally the fakest & scariest of all “Christians”.

Oh and by the way, that one big sky daddy cuck, Lindell... he has 9.5 fingers and a mashed over nose. Why hasn't that dweeb Kelly and her real doctor husband anointed that shit? Petition the Joplin campus to FIX THE PHALANGE!!

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Maybe he could shoot off his own toes, and then pray about it.

It would go a long way towards redeeming peoples faith.

Why is this “church”, that is obviously a shady business, not being taxed??

We, as taxpayers, are having to make up for the loss of tax revenue, as well as subsidize the services that they use for free.

You know the biggest voting bloc on the left are Christians. I am trans and Christian. Secular Christian but still. About 65% of lefty voters are Christian or catholic.

But I think even many people on the right would know this is fake news though. It's not uncommon at all for some hooligans to come along and make ridiculous claims in the name of God. Happens all the time. The people that do buy this stuff tend to be desperate and hurt. Which is why I think it is particularly bad to lie about claims like these, because of the type of people they prey on that are searching for help wherever they can find it.

An except from the Wikipedia article about secular theology

>advocated a nuanced approach to scripture, as opposed to Biblical literalism, informed by scholarship and compassion which he argues can be consistent with both Christian tradition and a contemporary understanding of the universe. Secular theology holds that theism has lost credibility as a valid conception of God's nature.[3] It rejects the concept of a personal God and embraces the status of Jesus Christ, Christology and Christian eschatology as Christian mythology without basis in historical events.[4][5]

I recommend you read more if you're interested. I think scripture is meant to be continually reinterpreted to derive new meaning from--somethint fundiesare practically incapable of doing with rigid and inflexible, hateful views of what to apply. I'm at work or else I'd ramble more.

Yeah he didn’t regrow toes!! It’s wrong if this church to claim toes and kidneys can grow back and to claim to raise the dead! They told parents of a 2 year old they could bring the child back from death! That’s fucking terrible!
