necromancy requires a license, according to Springfield city code. I'm 100% serious

But only if you use it for fortunetelling and not for raising a zombie hoard to bring destruction on all those who you have perceived to have slighted you. Skeletons and flesh golems are also available. But, using corpses, body parts, and other such things violates other laws. gif

I love that there is a God so loving and caring that he will grow back three toes that weren't impacting anyone's longevity or health, but there will be so many children who will die of preventable disease. I love how mysterious the ways of the Lord are. Keeps me on my...toes

Who cares that there's homeless children in Springfield? This woman can stand on her tip toes now! God has priorities.

Jesus "Holy Reaganomics" Christ.

Unfortunately I can see that sentiment being half believed by members of JRC. I used to go tl JRC and they always used to give sermons about the poor widow who came along and put in two small copper coins. The poor woman, as a widow, would have had no source of income after her husband's death. Therefore the two small copper coins were all she had - and yet she offered them to God. We were taught to give even if we had nothing.

We were also taught in the youth sermons that if we did nothing for God, not giving tithes or evangelicalizing and recruiting people to join the church that we would get nothing in heaven. We'd be homeless in heaven essentially lol.

Hopefully, this situation will get some people to wake up and realize that their church/ pastor is a fraud and leave it for a better one.... Hopefully.

I expect Eric Metaxas will have him on his show, and he will be one of the headliners at the Reawaken America tour with General Flynn instead.

Pretty sure the Bible has a lot to say about making false claims and soothsaying. None of it good.

Isn't the Bible really against magic or something? Oh well, guess they gotta keep all the followers on their toes.

One of the priests involved in the toe thing was from out in California and he tried to resurrect a congregation members 2 year old daughter through prayer. This isn’t surprising me at all

“Death” or “raising people from the dead” is interchangeable with “raising people from a dead life/raising people up” pretty much! Just taken out of context it sounds weird lol but I’ve heard this a ton it’s not meant to literally mean necromancy

Do you think her toes grew back? It really seems like you think her toes grew back.

mdchally t1_jdfwlf7 wrote

That's not even what this thread of the comments was about.

For the sake of feeding you: I believe God is capable of anything. I do not know this lady in question, so I don't know if He provided new toes or not.

I think if it happened to me, I would be so thrilled to share His miracle with the world that I would provide proof. But we're all different.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU THINK HER TOES GREW BACK

mdchally t1_jdfx3p1 wrote

Look at how you reacted when I actually gave you a sincere response. This interaction says a lot more about you than it does me.

I still never even told you a yes or no. So, further proving the mob doesn't care about facts.

"I didn't say yes or no".

Get a grip.

mdchally t1_jdfxm6q wrote

That means, I believe God can regrow toes. It doesn't say anywhere that I think he did.

My grip is strong, my friend.

I hear you, but I have to admit it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not speaking literally when they've recently made the fantastic claim that they literally caused a woman's amputated toes to grow back.

Except the bible literally says that Jesus gave his disciples the power to cure all diseases, dispel spirits, and even raise the dead. In fact, he commanded them to do just that:

>Matthew 10: 5-8 5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons.
