Would you listen to a Man of God aka Prophet that give you bad news? Friend is paying $7K to Prophet

[Jipsah]

OK then, I say the case is closed.

Not a bit of it. There are laws against defrauding people in every state.

Unless he gives refunds. SHe has faith in this man and rightfully did what she was told to have a better life......

She fell victim to a grifter and the law is her recourse. Me? I'd still slap him around a fair bit and risk a misdemeanor sentence. Fair play.

 

[Jipsah]

Your friend needs to kick this false, money grubbing prophet to the curb immediately!!

Literally, IMO, after he's been prosecuted.

 

[Jipsah]

Perhaps the FDA could step in and check into his claim of healing power.

Better yet, have the local coppers jug him for running a con game.

 

[Jipsah]

Actually, in Canada, a guy got arrested for witchcraft by charging for similar services.

Absolutely correct.

 

[Jipsah]

I guess a laborer is "worthy of his hire" is only useful to justify paying preachers and pastors.....

The grifter, conman, swindler, bunco artist, scammer, and fraudster are worthy of their punishment, which should be swift and not soon forgotten. Pray for their souls, but let their penance be in the penitentiary.

 

[Jipsah]

First off does this woman have either learning disabilities, is on the spectrum or has psychiatric issues? If so someone needs to go and block this person from all her social media accounts. If not someone should still do the same and tell him to f*$k off before blocking him.

Dude is a criminal, and needs to be prosecuted as such.

The OPer stated that His prophecies do and have been coming to pass. At the very least, he is good at his craft. How come it is ok to pay preachers to preach the gospel, but not a prophet to give prophecy?

 

[Jipsah]

On the contrary, I would not listen to a prophet who only gave me good news.

I can give you bad news for only $3500. Heckuva deal, don't you think?

This swine is a prophet just like I'm an astronaut, He's a common grifter, and ought to do time, end of.

I agree, with this line of thinking....you can take about half his clients....if you can manipulate the future accurately.

In any line of work, you get paid more the better you are.... I just dont see how this is different than other paid positions in the church. Why is this frowned upon more?

And how did this guy break the law....when he asked for something and it was given him?

The bible says to judge them by whether or not what they say comes true.....not by how much money they charge.........even though it is a common believe that services and items get better the more they cost.....

The OPer said he gave a prophecy and exactly what he said, came true..... Would a poor man who took no money whose prophecies never came to pass, be more of a prophet in your eyes...?

She said he is aggressive and doesn't tell the whole truth. Infact, he lied about a couple of things.

Better chance in upsetting the pharmaceuticals who don't like competition

Where is her responsibility in carrying this on?

 

[Jipsah]

Where is her responsibility in carrying this on?

The responsibility for being a credulous victim?

 

[timothyu]

The responsibility for being a credulous victim?

No for carrying on the relationship. This was not a one time chance meeting online.

The guy and the church want give her money back. She can't afford to pay for shipping because it cost too much overseas.

Did she give the church money or the prophet?

 

[Strong in Him]

That's awful.
I would still involve the law, and certainly give no more money at all.

What was the crime that was committed?

" Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?"
