James River is obviously the largest church in the area and a substantial portion of our local community calls it their home. This may even include you! If it does, what was your reaction to the prayer healing montage video during service this weekend that ended with the woman talking about how her 3 toes regrew during a prayer service?
This is a legit question. I’m not looking to troll, not asking to engage people who aren’t attenders.
Most people who attend James River weren’t at the prayer services…but most attend the weekend services via one way or another. So it may have been the first time you were confronted with the news that a woman had 3 amputated toes fully regrow during a service from midweek.
What is your reaction to that?
For me, as someone who has been a Christian for 20+ years and was formerly a pastor, I’m conflicted. I find it irresponsible of church leadership to trumpet this person’s claim and story with no evidence of such a miracle. It seems a very easy thing to prove or disprove, and if it actually happened should be the biggest news and proof of God’s existence in…oh…idk…2,000 years. But if it did NOT happen, it seem to be poor decision making and dangerous of the church leadership to promote it.
I’m wondering if there are others here who watched the promo video from this weekend and what you felt.
