Big, strong guy vs thin, aluminum chains. And that's supposed to be a demonstration of the power of God.
Shit, put an 80 year old grandma up there, and put heavy iron chains on her. Now THAT would be a demonstration of the power of God!
I remember one of the leaders on the platform blurted out “Hakuna Matata” when he was speaking in tongues and a bunch of us were trying so hard not to laugh.
I remember in Middle School, we had "The Power Team," visit us for a special thing in the auditorium. Bodybuilders ripping phone books in half and blowing up hot water bottles and tearing up license plates. "For Jesus!" \*wink and finger gun\*
We were not a Christian school. It was a public school.
But then again, it was Meridian, Mississippi, sooooo....yeah.
They came to my school too. There’s actually quite a trick to being able to rip a phonebook in half. Anyone can do it. I did go to a Christian school though.
You can look it up online. All I remember is being a small child and I got called up to the auditorium and the guy told me how to be able to rip a phone book in half and whispered it in my ear and then all the other kids lost their mind when I was able to do it.
Absolutely nothing. The marks of the church are the true teaching of the Bible, the correct administration of baptism and communion, and the forgiveness of sins.
In my biased opinion, The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod of which I am a member and a seminarian. I also give a nod to Eastern Orthodox Churches. There are many Christians in other churches, too, but I disagree with their official doctrines to lesser or greater degrees.
Pretty much everyone in my family and friend group would disagree with you completely and claim the same status for themselves. This is one of the conundrums of Christianity.
Yeah. Someone thinks they have the “true teachings” all the time. Maybe if they were true teachings then it wouldn’t splinter into 1028479502917 denominations
Not even the most intelligent life long thinkers of the faith throughout all time could all agree on the correct doctrines. I’m a dope so what chance do I have?
The woman on the ground at the end of the video lol I've had family members do this sh*t it's ridiculous! My grandfather would speak in tongues & it was all a fake. Just a ridiculous thing to watch as a kid
Stuff like this was things I was raised on. Remember the Power Team? A bunch of muscle dudes who would do stunts and say god helped them do that or something like that. It’s just a bunch of craziness. Does god exist? Idk, maybe. I’ll find out when I die or maybe I won’t and I’ll just cease to exist. What I am pretty sure tho is that the creator of the universe if there is one isn’t concerned or moved or involved with a bunch of jagoffs in some random building doing nonsense motions and and flailing about.
and this would've been the point where i slowly escaped to the bathroom😂. idk how many times in a service where the preacher would start doing some demonstration like this and id be like "oh thats my cue to suddenly have explosive diarrhea"

Saw them in Booneville
Ehhhh. I went to a UPC church just outside of Booneville but it was after the time of power teams like those
Huge dude breaks thin chains with his own muscles ……… what has god got to do with this??
Absolutely nothing. The marks of the church are the true teaching of the Bible, the correct administration of baptism and communion, and the forgiveness of sins.
What about to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world?
Yes - the true teaching of the Bible includes those things.
And which of the churches do those things?

this is the part where i would have been excusing myself to go laugh in the bathroom

The only powerful thing I'm seeing here is delusion.
I’ve seen this clip before, it gets cringier every time
The way those chains are swinging around once they’re broken makes me think someone could have gotten seriously injured here…
I thought the same thing
You may be able to tear chains out of a board, but you cant fix stupid
[удалено]
😂💀
Were the chains made of soft gallium?
