In early January 2013, the National Post reported that “divorce has attained an increasingly celebratory edge of late…High-profile divorce parties are being held in fancy hotel ballrooms usually reserved for nuptials.” The story from the National Post includes a quote from professional divorce party planner, Christine Gallagher. Gallagher, author of the book How to Throw … Read more
Charismatic preachers are less accurate in their prophetic predictions than drunken meteorologists. In fact, coronavirus has proven that charismatics are far less accurate than that. Not a single charismatic leader prophesied the costliest health-related panic in history. Multitudes of charismatic leaders prophesied coronavirus would never come to America. Many more prophesied Christians would be immune. … Read more
The Bible tells us that, if anyone prophesies falsely – even once – then they are to be (1) never listened to again and (2) put to death. The Bible also tells us that we know a prophet is not from God if what they prophesy doesn’t come to pass. Charismatic prophet, Shawn Bolz, is … Read more
Well, this sounds like satire, but it’s not. The world’s largest gathering of notable faith healers are canceling the grand opening of a faith-healing center because of coronavirus. We reported on the grand opening of the Morris Cerullo Legacy International Center on Saturday, mostly because it has a design that looks like a dollar sign … Read more
Steven Strang over at Charisma Mag – who has posted more false prophecy relating to coronavirus than Wuhan has sick-beds – claimed today that “prophet” Chuck Pierce prophesied the coming of coronavirus. He’s also making the claim on his podcast. This claim is spurious and untrue. At the snake-oil blog, Charisma, Strang writes… I recently interviewed … Read more
Upon the top of Mt. Carmel in the 9th Century B.C., Elijah stared down the prophets of Ba’al and Ashera. They promised to be able to get their gods to move by decreeing and declaring positive confessions of their power. They beat their chests and screamed into the heavens. They cut themselves and bled to … Read more
Our intention at Pulpit & Pen is to log all the crazy things charismatic prophets have proclaimed about the coronavirus so that, if nothing else, God uses it to put an end to charismaticism. It really is a religion that needs to die a thousand deaths. The only vaccine is polemics. So far we have, … Read more
As we have been chronicling at Pulpit & Pen religiously (no pun intended), charismatic prophets are going to get people killed with their crack-pottery. It’s one thing to decree-and-declare an end to coronavirus with ineffectual blathering, but it’s another thing to offer horrible medical advice and instill confusion into the global discourse on this pandemic. … Read more
This is getting old, admittedly. We’re trying to chronicle all the crazy things charismatics are saying about the coronavirus. You know, to make fun of them in the future (like God intended). So far we have, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that God had ended the virus. Perhaps Bethel didn’t get the memo. … Read more
What’s up with all these posts at P&P today about weirdo charismatic claims about the coronavirus? Well…we’re trying to catch up. It’s hard to do, because charismatics say a lot of dumb things. We want to make fun of them later when this is all over. So far we have, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared … Read more
Well, we continue in our marathon of posts about crazy things charismatics have said about coronavirus this week. And we come to Charisma’s Robert Henderson. But for the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that God had ended the virus. Perhaps Bethel didn’t get the memo. Rodney Howard Browne promised to bind coronavirus from the … Read more
In case you’re unaware, at Pulpit & Pen we are trying desperately to keep up with notating all the crazy claims made by charismatic prophets in relation to coronavirus. We’re losing in that struggle. For the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that God had ended the virus. Perhaps Bethel didn’t get the … Read more
At Pulpit & Pen, we’re trying to document all the dumb (and often dangerous) things charismatics say during this coronavirus crisis. Instead of going out and healing people (so far they’re at zero healings), they just sit around and give really bad medical advice. For the record, Bethel’s affiliated pastor, Shawn Bolz, declared a prophecy that … Read more
Pulpit & Pen was trying to document all the crazy things said by charismatic prophets about coronavirus so we could come back later and mock them for it (like Elijah mocked the prophets of Ba’al). But it turns out that charismatics say a lot of stupid things, and we weren’t able to keep up. For … Read more
Bethel Church in Redding, California – which dumps chicken feathers, fog, and glitter out of its ventilation system to simulate a “glory cloud,” has a supernatural school of healing, and regularly tells tall-tales of raising the dead – has apparently closed its “healing rooms” because it’s afraid that all the touching involved will pass along … Read more
