Watch “Lance Wallnau Recounts How An ‘Anointed Cake’ Freed A Man From Homosexuality” on YouTube
Take the time and watch this video. Pastor (if you want to call him that) and Christian motivational speaker (this is a better title) shared a testimony. He claimed that a man was cured of homosexuality by an anointed cake. Can you think of a more absurd and ludicrous situation that brings more reproach upon the Gospel than this? For any “on the fence” Christians out there, this one probably pushed you over to the dark side. We would not blame you. Even if this did (in some odd way) bring you into Christianity, I assure you that the basis for this kind of theology is suspect at best. The worst Lance Wallnau did was motivate new hatred toward Christianity. The best he did was invite new believers into a house built upon the sand. Thanks!
Ridiculous testimonies such as these and anecdotal circumstances do more harm to the biblical text than help. Please, if you can not share something spiritual and exciting that cannot be substantiated from the Bible – shut up!
Who, for the love of the gospel, does Lance Wallnau think he is helping with this asinine story? Does he think some member of the LGBTQ community is watching this? Will they suddenly be compelled to seek the truth of God’s word? Or, most likely, this will further the cause to suppress religious expression. This is due to obvious lunacy and potential bigotry. Most likely the latter. We advocate this: If this impressed you or gave you encouragement, rethink who is providing your theology. Alternatively, contact us and we will gladly point you in another direction.
Finally, God does not anoint inanimate objects. Take some time and think about this: Cake is not made in the image of God, nor are deserts of any kind, or clothes, cloaks, napkins, pumpkins, moving vehicles, animals, blankets, etc… Only people are anointed with the Holy Spirit; “and it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” (2 Corinthians 1:21-22 ESV). The elect anoints all the redeemed through regeneration by the Holy Spirit. “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness. It was according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit. He poured out the Spirit on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:3-7 ESV).
Christianity, please hear my plea: Stop confusing people with man-centered worship and focus on preaching the Word of God. The current trend of mysticism and chaotic practices resembles a Walter Mercado special rather than genuine evangelism. True evangelism is rooted in God-centered teachings and is based on the Bible.
Do not be naive about what you believe!Â
