An interesting perspective. And I know some will be offended by it. Buy maybe that's healthy in some ways.

19th Century Faith Cure: Fanaticism and Exaggerated Claims

As you already noticed in my previous post, I have been reading about the healing movement of the 19th century, which is sometimes labeled Faith Cure. One of the movement's hallmarks was to build so-called healing homes. These homes allowed the physically and mentally ill to rest. They were cared for and prayed for. Many testimonies of miraculous healings came from the healing homes of people like Ethan Otis Allen (1813-1903), Charles Cullis (1833-1892), or Dorothea Trudel (1813-1862). However, some critics were not entirely convinced of these testimonies. One of the most famous critics was B. B. Warfield. He believed the cures often happened by natural rather than supernatural means. He writes:

"In many of them means are openly used, means which rank among the specifically best means known to medical science. This is the case, for example, with all the instances of cures made in the Faith-Houses. Who doubts that multitudes of the sick would find cure under the skilled and tireless nursing of a Dorothea Trüdel, who was known to pass the whole day without food, utterly forgetting the claims of her body in devotion to her work? Who doubts that great physical benefit could be found by many in "the silence and retirement of the simple cure of Pastor Rein"? Doctor Weir Mitchell won fame as a physician through his "rest-cure." What medical man will not agree that good nursing and a quiet and restful state of body and mind are among the best of curative agents?" (B. B. Warfield, Counterfeit Miracles, 183).

I think Warfield brings up a valid observation, even though we cannot entirely generalize. Having read Konrad Zeller's biography of Trudel, there might have been some authentic Divine healings. But of course, it is difficult to be sure. The healing movement was undoubtedly characterized by fanaticism and emotionalism. These states of mind encourage confirmation bias and selective perception. This means that a natural healing will more likely be misinterpreted as a supernatural healing resulting from an extraordinary faith. Another issue was that the medical field was still in its infancy, and many drugs produced side effects that naturally disappeared when discontinuing their intake. Because the Faith Cure teachers believed that Christians don't need medicine, the intake of drugs was often discouraged. Hardesty explains, "While giving up all medications sounds drastic to the modern reader, giving up drugs in the nineteenth century may indeed have effected the cure itself... Medications as we know them were not readily available until the 1950s and 1960s, ..." (Nancy A. Hardesty, Divine Healing in the Holiness and Pentecostal Movements, 78, 79). These are issues that are often overlooked when reading the healing testimonies of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The selectivity problem can also be seen in the fact that Faith Cure advocates said very little about all the failed healings. This selectivity sometimes gives the reader the impression that a great work of God was happening in the past that is no longer present. But this is not true. The failure rate was no different than today, and many natural healings were confused for supernatural healings. Warfield writes:

"It is observable, further, that the cases which are successfully treated in the Faith-Houses have their natural limits. Not every one is cured. Not every one is cured. The brother of Samuel Zeller, who succeeded Dorothea Trüdel in her House in Switzerland, sought cure there for years in vain. Dorothea Trüdel's own health remained throughout her life "very feeble"; she suffered from curvature of the spine from an early age and died at forty-eight of typhus fever" (B. B. Warfield, Counterfeit Miracles, 183).

Hardesty notices the same issue that Warfield brings up. She writes, "those for whom divine healing failed seldom left testimonies, but eventually Holiness and Pentecostal communities had to come to terms with their failures as well as their successes" (Nancy A. Hardesty, Divine Healing in the Holiness and Pentecostal Movements, 129).

Many of the leaders in the healing movement died of sickness themselves. Here is a list of Faith Cure proponents and the cause of their death:

- A. B. Simpson: heart failure, age 75
- A. J. Gordon: influenza and bronchitis, age 59
- Charles Cullis: chronic nephritis (kidney disorder), age 59
- Dorothea Trudel: typhus fever, age 48
- John Alexander Dowie: stroke, age 59
- John G. Lake: stroke, age 65

So, what lessons can we learn from all of that?

1) God occasionally heals through Divine intervention. We discern such healings by their spontaneity, completeness, and lack of medical explanation.

2) We must be careful not to confuse natural and Divine healing. Natural healing can happen through the natural healing powers of our bodies, rest, nutrition, psychosomatic factors, etc. We should understand this type of healing as part of God's common grace and good providence.

3) Fanaticism and enthusiasm can lead to confirmation bias and selective perception. Those caught up in these mental states (e.g., Faith Cure proponents) tend to misrepresent or exaggerate the actual situation.

Billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis, chairman and CEO of United Refining Company, admits on April 4, 2022 interview, that oil is infinite, and produced by the Earth, and does not come from dead dinosaurs, as we were lead to believe.

Let's recall what I said last year about oil being a renewable resource.



I told you all long time ago. Just search through the posts.

Do you understand, how controlling the oil production is. Which family owns it?

Fun fact: Hubal (Hebrew: ha-Baal, "the Possessor") was placed into the Kaabah, and 360 idols were around him, referring to the 360 days of lunar calendar. Pagan Arab referred to their chief god Hubal as "al-Lah" (the God) and his house, the Kaabah as "Baytullah" (House of the God). Hubal or Lah had three daughters: Lat, Manat and Uzza, all of them had their shrines around Mecca. Muhammad venetrated them too in the Quran, but later in Medina to convert the Jews to Islam, he labeled these verses as "satanic" and abolished their worship in Islam.

If you wanted to go to Antarctica, could you go without asking anyone?

Of course not, Antarctica has secret owners. They don't allow it. In the incident in the video, the armed forces stop those trying to cross 66.6° south parallel

Here is satanic witch Marina Abramovic dumping real, coagulated blood on a child effigy. She is close friends with Rothschilds, Clinton, Podesta, Gates and about 90% of celebrities and elites. These people are evil and psychotic.

Dear friends, you all know what we are are up against, this is very purposeful and they've done it becuase they are trying to give you hints, they are trying to normalize and show you and tell you what they do.

They are doing this because of the principle of karmic retribution. Satanists believe if they tell you what they are doing, if they make their intentions clear and you still adhere to them, that they are no longer responsible for the negative karmic consequences.

It's very simple to explain, if I have a stall of poison apples and the sign says apples and you buy one, I have poisoned you, but if I have a stall of poison apples, and a sign where it says "poison apples" and you buy one, now you have committed a suicide. I have not poisoned you.

If you know what I am selling and you still comply and adhere, you are basically saying all the consequences are erased, that's how karmic retribution works, from their point of view they will avoid KARMIC punishment.

I was looking into Marina Abramović and I found one of her friends. Interesting chap, this guy.

Name: Gottfried Helnwein

First piece, titled 'Epiphanie III (Darstellung im Tempel)', 1998

Translation: Presentation in the Temple

'Epiphanie' (Epiphany) is a manifestation of a deity to a worshiper.

*Question: As an inverted pentagram is the symbol used for Satanism is there a chance he's simply wearing his bandana upside down?

The girl in the bandage is titled 'Beautiful Victim' & the other is titled 'And Then There Were None'.
