Yet Another “Slain in the Spirit” Injury Lawsuit.

by @ 12:27 am. Filed under Nuts on Parade

When bad doctrine stops being promoted in the church you’ll see no more of these lawsuits. Which means this won’t end till Christ returns. Since with the bad doctrines going out today misled sheep are not only being promoted to fall backwards on the floor, some are even allowing themselves to be beaten.

Man moved by spirit of God sues church over injury

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. ? A man says he was so consumed by the spirit of God that he fell and hit his head while worshipping.

Now he wants Lakewind Church to pay $2.5 million for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Matt Lincoln says he is suing after the church’s insurance company denied his claim for medical bills.

The 57-year-old has had two surgeries since the June 2007 injury but still feels pain in his back and legs.

He says he was asking God to have “a real experience” while praying.

Lincoln says he has fallen from the force of the spirit before but has always been caught by someone.

Lawyers for the church say other congregants saw him on the floor laughing after his fall. They say he failed to look out for his own safety.

(Hat tip to Ernest, with runner up honors to Spark.)

This madness of people being encouraged to fall backwards and claim it was God moving on a saint is some unbiblical mess I’ve covered a while back. So I’m going to repeat Slain in the Spirit or Mental Manipulation? It?s Mind Tricks Folks!

Lakewind Church uses slogans on their web site such as “contemporary worship” and “Join us for high energy”. Basically trying to look “hip” and “trendy” for numbers sake.

The Pastors are Mike and Monique Sexton. Did the Apostle Peter ever claim his wife as a “co-apostle”? Nah. Did any Apostle claim their wife held their office with them? Nope. Did any church Elder in scripture claim or have an Apostle tell them their wife was in the office of Elder with them? NOPE. But now there’s the hip “co-pastors” game being played. Not that it’s biblical, but people fall for it, no pun intended. And so one error leads to another and you’ve got all kinds of tricks done for numbers, leading people to flop backwards on the floor. Now some guy bumped his head and the church does not want to pay. Well Judith Dadd was Awarded $314,000 in a ?Slain in the Spirit? Injury Case. And like this case she went to the church for financial help, the church denied her, their insurance didn’t pay all the bills and she won big. Not that Christians are supposed to sue each other, but Mike and Monique Sexton should take a look at the Bible and seek to settle this out of court ASAP.

Luke 12:57-59 (New American Standard Bible)

57 “And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?

58 “For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

59 “I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the very last cent.”

But if they refuse to settle, will they just use various pimp games to pay for the increased insurance premiums? Any “co-pastors” that have not kept well to scripture so far likely might!

    Well, if his ‘church’ alledgely operates in the ’spirit’(surely not the Holy Spirit) then why doesn’t he go back up there and have the ‘mand of gawd’ lay hands on him and heal him? My goodness what will it take people to learn that this is not how God operates.

    And you know, when I was growing up in that kind of environment, it used to be claimed that “if it’s really God moving nobody will get hurt…” And that claim was made because many people had fallen into all sorts of things and claimed they were not injured.

    Then came the night when a lady died right in the middle of the church meeting. Not that she fell backwards or anything, she just straight up died right in the middle of the service. Well this left the pastor a bit scared, that it might be claimed God was not actually with his church since somebody died in the middle of a meeting/service. They tried praying for her and she didn’t rise up. So he (pastor) told everyone to not tell anyone she died “in the church (building)”.

    This fear of the pastor’s is the natural result of teaching a gospel that majors on promising temporal benefits. It seems that that shocking event exposed the sandy foundation of the pastor’s, and by extension, the church’s theology. He even conspired to force a cover-up. Who did he think he was protecting, God? And, anyone who agreed to the conspiracy of silence would have been embarrassed when the circumstances of the lady’s death became public record.
