Charisma decided to post an article on the latest video in which Todd’s new wife Jessa spoke, and the comments reflect at least part of the body of Christ, are not interested in buying what Joyner, Todd and Jessa, are selling.
They have lost all credibility. What a waste of space to even write about them! Who cares ? I, for one, will never believe another word that Todd Bentley utters! They have done great damage to the Body of Christ !
The crux of the issue was not whether they needed to wait, but the whole thing was wrong. There’s not much mention of repentance and actual deeds from it on the central issue. Why did Jessa, knowing Todd’s marital problem, kept on being so involved with Todd?
Todd Bentley’s New Wife Breaks Silence
"If the professed convert distinctly and deliberately declares that he knows the Lord's will but does not mean to attend to it, you are not to pamper his presumption, but it is your duty to assure him that he is not saved. Do not suppose that the Gospel is magnified or God glorified by going to the worldlings and telling them that they may be saved at this moment by simply accepting Christ as their Savior, while they are wedded to their idols, and their hearts are still in love with sin. If I do so I tell them a lie, pervert the Gospel , insult Christ, and turn the grace of God into lasciviousness."
According to the current direction of the thread, its ok for Todd to bring up his past but the rest of us have to keep silent.

Bill, i see you jumped in! aha…
One of the most important points you made in that thread, was concerning Todd’s doctrines. Its strange how those who defend him, never want to look closely at what he teaches. And they side-step the issue if you bring it up.
and then the ad hominum attack –
“Sounds to me like the evangelical movement folks are using this to show their displeasure with charismaniacs;”
Shucks, I was charismatic before Bentley was BORN.
The first two Christian books, other than the bible, that I owned were “They speak with other tounges” and “Nine O’clock in the Morning” LOL!
Ow, feeling old now…
The “Jessa Tells Her story” video would have been far more effective if it was audio only. The video at 12:36 sorts of ruins the whole thing.
I also have to wonder if Todd had killed Shonna, would Joyner still be pushing the “David and Bathsheeba – man after God’s heart thing?”
