The Narrow Path Ministries

A few years ago I ran into a man who is well versed with the teachings of Witness Lee and the Local Church. We had fellowship for a full year, I broke off regular fellowship because of their teaching I disagree with and was tired of the disagreements. However, we are friends and keep in touch, and I...

Thank you Robby, what you said seems convincing and I appreciate your answer, it seems sound. However, my problem with it is as I stated in my OP. If they did use trickery, how did they know what trick to prepare for and perform? Did they carry snakes around with them everywhere they went to show o...

Greetings, It appears to me that whenever the Biblical narative says anything, all we can do is make assumptions. Whether the power was from God, Satan or just slight of hand, it is an assumption.

I think numbers 20:16 leaves no room to question who they called out too.

No where in this passage that I can see, in where as Israel specifically cried out to God.
