Pat Robertson Tells Viewer it's His Own Fault, Not Robertson's, that Healing Didn't Work

[meegbear]

One of the most sad and telling claims of so-called ‘faith healers’ from Benny Hinn to Todd Bentley is that the reason people are not healed at their healing conferences or through their television ministries is not because the faith healer wasn’t able to cure the ailment or sickness but because of the lack of faith of the person (and often the inadequate size of their financial gifts) who sought the healing. If only the person had genuine faith, so it goes, then the healing would’ve worked, so don’t blame the healer!

Today on the 700 Club, we saw an example of that when a viewer called in wondering why it is that when he prayed with Pat Robertson during his show for a healing of his knee pain the pain came back the next day. Robertson responded that people can “give up” his healings because “you don’t believe that it’s real” and never claimed the healing, “this is mine.” He also maintained that the return of the pain “may be Satanic and the things come back on you, they come back and you need to rebuke it and command it to leave you, permanently.”

5. That's what Oral Roberts told my cousin's parents

after they took out a second mortgage so he would heal her. She was born without one eye. Of course, she couldn't be healed (despite their great faith in Jesus and Oral Roberts) and when she didn't automatically grow an eye where she'd never had one before they were told that they shouldn't have mortgaged their home if their faith wasn't strong enough. There is nothing about these hate-mongers that is spiritual. They are con men.

14. She forgot to rebuke it apparently. If you don't rebuke, you may well have to puke.

Or something like that.

Pat can't be blamed when a woman fails to do such a simple thing as rebuking Satan. Sheesh!

Seriously, the woman should rebuke Pat Robertson for being a charlatan.
