Another Contradiction From Todd Bentley – You Can’t Trust Anything Todd Says

Yet another  contradiction has been found coming out of Todd Bentley’s mouth. That makes numerous big whopping lies all told in the space of just a few weeks at one revival. How can his supporters support this man and his ministry - seriously? Is this what Todd’s glory and anointing makes him do – lie?  One lie is bad enough, but there’s lots of them coming out of his and his associates mouths. It is really serious. I would not accept this from anyone, let alone a so-called Christian minister! All the people who claim the unbiblical ’Gamaliel Approach’ – look at all this bad fruit and judge it NOW. There is plenty enough of it!

Both the following accounts are from Stephen Strader in his OWN words, and edited and agreed by him on his blog. Yet there is a glaring contradiction or two.

From here -

“THE ANGEL OF THE LORD APPEARED TO TODD the second day he was in Florida.

“Two saints appeared with the angel.  The angel told Todd to call Prophet Bob Jones.  Bob already knew that it was the Healing Angel…  his name is called THE WINDS OF CHANGE.  When the WIND begins to blow, people will be blown out of wheelchairs!

“The same angel that came in 1948 has now come to Florida in 2008.  This has only happened one time before in Todd’s ministry.  

[The lie has already been discussed here of Todd's recent claim that he has never said it is the SAME angel with him as was in the 1940s Voice of Healing movement, he has only said it is an angel like  the one who ministered with William Branham - as if that makes any real difference to the angel's unscripturalness anyway. BUT THAT IS A LIE, just like the claim that they have NEVER SAID ANGEL EMMA IS WITH THEM IN LAKELAND - they have!]

The next account of the same experience on Lakeland Day Two is recounted here  -

“On the second day in Florida, the presence in my hotel room changed…  the Healing Angel appeared to me with two mantles…  supernatural revelations…  like William Branham…  and BOLD FAITH…  like AA Allen. ”

Interesting – was it Saints or mantles that the angel turned up with. There is a huge difference between the two that you would not forget or would not confuse! Did two Saints  appear in his hotel room, or was it two mantles?  The only reason why you could get something like this wrong is if you made the story up and lied about it, as lies are not easy to remember and recall without contradiction, especially if you tell as many lies as Todd does, and are as arrogant as he is. 

Regardless, even if this story did not contradict there are huge problems with it. If dead Saints appeared, there is the necromancy/spiritualism element (communicating with the dead) that is forbidden by God – and it was not even as if were a vision in heaven either that you could kind of excuse! (By the way another of Todd’s heros, John G Lake, practised the same – he said it was Ok to communicate with the dead as long as you did not overtly seek it). Secondly, there is the issue of who  these saints are. No doubt, Todd will claim William Branham was one - Branham who was a false prophet, false teacher, liar, charlatan and occultist. Perhaps the other one claimed was AA Allen,  John G Lake, Aimee Semple McPherson or Kathryn Kuhlman. He is on dodgy ground to claim William Branham is a saint. There are various problems with all the others too - A A Allen, John G Lake, Aimee Semple McPherson and Kathryn Kuhlman too (and also I thought Benny Hinn had gotten all Kathrun Kuhlman’s anointing from her grave already).

If the angel appeared with two mantles, and not saints, then there are similar problems because of whose mantles they are claimed to be, plus the obvious question has to be asked – how can Todd Bentley have two  mantles. He only has one call on his life – and he ain’t walking in it, unless he planned from day one to be a son of perdition. So there is still the problem with false theology and false prophecy. But the biggest problem here is the unexplainable gap between the two stories - they cannot both be true.
