Angel Feathers? Are they kidding?

Sometimes I think people have lost all their reasoning.  Sid Roth has this “pastor” on his show (David Jones) and he shows some “angel feathers”  and “gems” that he says fell from heaven.  Seriously.  I’m not kidding. They look like carnival trinkets and feathers that fell out of a cheap pillow.

I’m dumbfounded. How is it that believers have lost their discernment?  They’ve lost their way, ignoring the importance of reading God’s word and holding to sound doctrine.  Don’t get me wrong, I love miracles; I believe in miracles, not spectacles.  I’ll post more but just wanted you to see this.

Sid Roth’s video (short url for space):
You can actually see the “angel feathers” and “gems” about 2/3’s through the video!  What fun!

Sid Roth’s David Jones interview

The intro to David Jones says:

“In his meetings, there are supernatural manifestations of angelic feathers, gold dust, appearances of precious gemstones and physical healing. All this happened when he learned the key to unlock God’s heart and favor.”

Oh, he’s selling his book too.

Feathers? Sorry, I don’t buy this at all. Gems? Nope. Seriously, those look like carnival prizes.
Take those feathers to a lab and see if they are organic or synthetic.  I’d like to see what the DNA report says. Perhaps “Made In China”.

David misquotes scripture when he tries to make a point that it’s dangerous to question him when he gives the example of a co-worker angering him, when he says to the co-worker: “it’s better that a millstone be tied about your neck and cast into the depths of the sea than to mess with one of God’s little ones”

Why did he misquote Matthew 18:6?  Is “messing with one of His children” a veiled warning that nobody should question this story?  It’s our duty to do so.

Matthew 18:6
but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

Why should we challenge this?

1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Claims of angel feathers and gems must be tested and proven. There is no fear in testing the spirits to see whether they are from God.  It’s a mandate that we should be wary of false prophets and lying wonders.

Let’s see them prove it.  Validate the evidence with real science and a peer review report.

In the meantime, let God be the judge. Keep in the word of God.  Endure sound doctrine and do not be led astray.

I really liked listening to David.  He seems like a nice guy.  I just wonder who is planting this stuff and fooling him.
