Wikipedia promotes lies? [message #9464]

I recently looked up the article on Hobart Freeman and noticed someone has changed a bunch of the basic information in this article.

They say Dr. Freeman followed Hagin, Olsteen, Copeland, Osborn, and E.W. Kenyon. This is written by one John Davis.

They say now that Freeman was part of the Word of Faith movement but later became a renegade and left that movement. Daniel McConnell was another man mentioned who confirmed this.

I knew neither of these men.

It has turned into a very critical article. They say the music sounded like people were just quoting the Bible.

From there on the article keeps going downhill.

I was just surprised that the article was twisting a lot of the facts and had been totally changed from the original article when it was written.

This is sure not the way I remember the worship services which were always in the Spirit. God's presence was very evident in the meetings, I have yet to find a church that even comes close to this type of ministry with the Spirit and anointing on it.

I was just very surprised at how much it had changed from the original article.

Gary,

The original articles are linked to (the first one is printed out in the post by Jisamazed) in a thread in this very section(Rant/Rave) on Sunday December 7, 2008.

You might be interested in reading the thoughts and comments from back then.

As to Wikipedia promoting lies, I think people can go in and edit or add info there...I'd wouldn't put total trust in what you might read there without researching futher.

“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”

James,

Thanks for the information. I will read it later when I get a chance. When all that took place back then I only remember the power and presence of the Lord.

The new article sounded like we had glazed eyes and stood around and chanted scriptures. Rolling Eyes
