    Do these Pastors even have faith in the God they worship? They are so scared of ebola they have suspended laying hands on people heads? These Pastors are jokers.

  • Frank 11 years ago

    God gave wisdom to the PENTICOSTALS to do that. You do not put your hands deliberately in fire and then expect God to pull your hands out. Where is your brain.

    The bible also says we should not put him to test.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 11 years ago

    When it comes to Tithes, they quote Malachi 3: 10 that we can test the lord but when it is Ebola, they are scared and defend themselves by quoting the confrontation between Jesus and Satan in Mathew, Mark and Luke.

    This is a day of shame and reproach! O God, have mercy on your people. May God bring up his men and women who will silence this modern day Goliath that is bringing reproach to his church.
