Derren Brown Exposing Faith Healing Scams

[qanatuka]

thank you anti-chri.... I mean derren brown for this

[RavenclawRedhead]

wow, awesome job

[HellRehab]

And imagine how much easier it is for someone like Benny Hinn who is a superstar celeb. Christians are so awe-struck by that cretan that they fall over, giggle and shit their pants if need be.

[jashwaaaa]

proverbs 3-5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

john 14:12

I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

-jesus

[WHYNOTMEB4U]

@jashwaaaa You can suck my dick while I fuck your little daughter ... hahahahahaaaaa the devil.

[Peace7Maker]

When its close friends that get heal of "Spinal disc herniation" (which don't have a cure yet) or "back muscle nerve interference" (with clinical proof) and someone i know that was unable to stand without using crotch all the time, start running and jumping all over the place, you can ask yourself if its only all in their head...

[TheDuck1234]

it's just sad when people think there made-up god can heal people xD All the medical science humans have done feels wasted on them.

[TheDuck1234]

@jfilesbooks Doctors is healers...not any made-up god

[nicknchrist]

Wow what an amazing Fake Healer. Now go and learn how to do the real deal...oh sorry that means you;d have to REPENT and get right with GOD and actually need HIS POWER to do this.....o well.

[shiftyways1987]

There is no God. If their were he would not let kids die and instead kill the people that claim to do his work.

[rureallysorry]

lol he should of said that if you dont have faith its useless

[Paladin4Him]

No one propably notices this comment. But despite of that there are truly faith prophets and people who trick others for money... NOTICE! That not every preacher is obsessed by greed etc.Jesus didn't say we have to be cynical about every miracle and thing that happens and judge immidiately it to Hell or something like that. JESUS said: You know them (faith prophets/teachers) by their fruits! Matt. 7 , Don't u dare to judge anyone

I believe in miracles. And Jesus "ordered" us to have faith.:)

[ohforfsakeletmein]

@Paladin4Him Show me at least 1 proven "fruit" by any faith healer. I have not seen a single one yet. The easiest way for someone like that would be to go to a hospital and heal the sick there with the doctors documenting it but instead they all perform on stage like actors, which is what they all seem to be. But feel free to show me 1 that isn't. Even if a few who do this sort of "healing" aren't doing it due to greed, it doesn't make it much better, does it?

[Paladin4Him]

@ohforfsakeletmein

Well...Lets pick someone who "everyone (even christians) judge to Hell". "Everyone" calls him falsepropheet and devil etc. Benny Hinn. I don't know him personally, and yes, the suits are not always the cheapest. But,during Hinns conferences hundreds and thousands have truly given their life to Jesus.I quite him: "If I say something which is against the Bible. I'm wrong and bible is right.

Reinhard Bonkke:over 44 000 000 have given life to Jesus. good fruits

[ohforfsakeletmein]

@Paladin4Him By "fruit" I obviously meant an actual medical healing, such as curing blindness performed purely by prayer, not the conversions you talk about. Nor do I see anything positive about converting people into believing something without evidence.

[727Phoenix]

If I were an amputee, I'd definitely go to a large faith-healing revival wearing a realistic-looking prosthetic. As soon as the minister heals my "arthritic hand" my arm'll fall off, I'm screaming PUT IT BACK!! while two friends wearing 'Why Won't God Heal Amputees?' teeshirts escort me off the stage... Messed up, I know!!

[Charango123quena]

@jfilesbooks God is the healer?? Wow,.. should have known that before attempting to study medicine for  6 yrs

[DefiantBoris]

Why do the death need to hear?

(I'm kidding...)

[ornitorrinco01]

This is why you will never see amputees being selected from the crowd to go up on stage.

[cuevarap]

@ornitorrinco01 You're very right. Let's not say a whole limb amputee, they can't even heal a little piece of an amputated finger. No religious believer or religious group, praying with all their faith, has managed this. So much for their all mighty imaginary Sky Friend!

[kuikoman]

Just look for Cash Luna omg thats why southamerica its soo fucked!!! im Mexican btw...and i saw something similar on mtv pranks

[pragith]

Somehow I'm not able to post a comment here. Probably because of the words in it. So I've written my view here pastebin . com / EaNMaKR7

It's not spam.

[gellyfeesh]

This dude needs to chill out. Interesting vid though, seeing frauds exposed just feels good

[csrogers87]

can you tell me what the name of the song is called on the part where the digital millenium copyright act part is displayed in this video?? I like it! :) it sounds like Aerosmith's St. John. but not quite.

[jesussaves7777]

By God`s grace I am a Christian. Thanks, exposing Deceivers. God`s warns that their will many false teacher and prophets. God’s word warns:

In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. (2 Peter 2:3)

[bubba007sss]

@jesussaves7777 I'll be I never knew

[jesussaves7777]

Please read the following questions carefully, be honest and listen to your conscience. Would you consider yourself to be a good person? The Bible declares, most men will proclaim their own goodness. Let’s see if you qualify as being a good person. Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything, irrespective of its value? Have you ever used God’s name to curse? Jesus said, I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart?

[somberlight]

@jesussaves7777 we are the architects of our actions, and we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic. we are not vessels for some higher being, we take the responsibility ourself. your words themselves as and of themselves have no meaning, it is your action that describes your mark of existence. if words never turn to action or do not have a context, words are meaningless. do what you will shall be the whole of the law, but stand behind your own actions.

[jesussaves7777]

Have you ever looked at someone with lust? The Bible says that if someone hates another person they are a murderer (I John 3:15). Have you ever hated anyone? If you have answered, Yes, to the previous questions, then you have admitted that you are a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, an adulterer and a murderer and we’ve only looked at 4 of the 10 Commandments. If God were to judge you by this standard would you be innocent or guilty? You know you are guilty and deserving of an eternity in Hell.

[TheStJames23]

@jesussaves7777 ugh, well, I've lied, and stolen. I've also served in my countries military, and I've saved peoples lives (mulitple occasions, one of which was mulitple people), never murdered, and never committed adultery. So am I a bad person for telling my 5 year old cousin that her dog ran away, rather than ran under a car? Am I a bad person for picking up a 5 off the side walk and not asking random people if they dropped it? I don't believe so.

[Paladin4Him]

@TheStJames23

I could answer for 7777 guy.

You admitted u've lied etc. But now you broke second commandment. You made a god you wanted. Biblical God is Perfect and to get Heaven you need to be Perfect(even one lie is worth enough to Hell), or at least pay with blood for your crimes.(like they did in OT)

->U are bad person in Gods(perfect) standard and NEED salvation. U can't say to judge "i've never killed anyone" when u've stolen a car.But the great thing is Jesus. Perfect payment and for free

[TheStJames23]

@Paladin4Him @Paladin4Him

' You made a god you wanted.' I made a god I wanted? No.

I've also never stolen a car. I'll just toss this bit of info out there, I do not believe in Jesus, God, Allah or any other fairy tales. I simply made my earlier post to show that "7777" isn't perfect either. And he/she should not make accusations regarding only 4 of the 10 commandants. If your going to lead a religious life that's your own prerogative, but don't half ass it, and don't force it on anyone.

[Paladin4Him]

@TheStJames23

The thing with commandments is to show you why you need Jesus. If you commit even smallest sin(steal a candy) you are a sinner and going to Hell. And this is not about Me scare you, choose Jesus.Its just pure Truth about the Trial where you have been already proved guilty, and then Someone has already taken the judgement for you.. the thing is just to believe in that Truth Its the truth, you make decision to believe(or not) to it. I hope you are wise to choose right

[TheStJames23]

@Paladin4Him so ultimately it doesn't matter what any of us do on Earth, as long as we accept Jesus?

[TheStJames23]

@jesussaves7777 But for some reason you state that feelings=actions; however, lust≠sex, and hate≠murder. So my question to you is, have you ever did any kind of work on Sunday? Have you ever talked back to your parents? Talked badly about them behind their backs? And do you have any idols?

[Paladin4Him]

@TheStJames23

I do.. And I repent and live more and more for Jesus. But again, I don't need to pay for my crimes. My good actions never can undo my bad ones. Sin is a sin, and it can't get to Heaven. But by believing in Jesus I'm free.I don't have to worry about a thing, because in His Word, He promises to take care of me.Its too beautiful. Not about my actions but only Him. I hope you see the picture I try to make. Its too good and easy to be true, but it is.I so excited about God.

[jesussaves7777]

Jesus Christ came to earth and died a criminal’s death not because He had broken the Law, but because we had. God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. What should you do? Repent, turn from your sins & put your complete faith in Jesus Christ as your Savoir and Lord. You may die today, in your sin. Is there any reason why you would not accept God’s gift? More info at living waters website with true & false conversion audio sermon. God Bless!

[sugarlanskee8]

@jesussaves7777

You must be talking about our politician friends when you speak of "criminals", esp. a certain 7 making news these days. We die for the sins of the Wood-chopper aka the Tree-killer, not the other way around.

[Cujoh]

Any Faith-Healer how throws a blind mans stick is a douche bag.

[ninuxy]

The problem is not that people don't know; they are fully aware but accept the "show" as an inspiration.

Sad, sad people.

[bobbyhill78701]

I think this guy has nailed it, that faith healers deal with people who can sort of walk, sort of see, sort of hear, and just enough to perform for a very brief stage appearance. When interviewed later, these subjects never report a permanent healing. Nothing has changed for them. Sometimes pain can be temporarily allayed, as in arthritis, but it doesn't last beyond the show.

[YakmanBuddha]

False people are a bad look for things that are wonderful that do happen. I have experienced wonderful things my daughter was born with no use in her arm and was healed through prayer. I am sorry so many play these games for money! Benny Hinn's security had me thrown out for attempting to bring my sick baby to him.

[Priesty77]

@jshowa5 For a start don’t be so rude and mind your manners. I’m certainly not an idiot and I don’t wish descend to the level of name calling. In the case of ring species concept and I actually had to look it up, it’s been a while since I studied this. The idea of segregation and then coming back together and not being able to breed could be due to genome degradation. Therefore the proteins would not be compatible enough to allow for fertilization.

[Priesty77]

@jshowa5 You really have a hate motivated personality towards my beliefs don't you. Anyway, so pharmacy isn't Chemistry? I better tell a couple of friends of mine that, one who's pharmaceutical chemist and the other who a chemical engineer involved in research involving herbal medicines.

[Priesty77]

@jshowa5 Species and Genus are not "kind"? I think that's exactly correct. I wasn't aware you where starting a game score now.

[Priesty77]

@jshowa5 con't: Astronomy: Comprehensive knowledge of the star fields, a lunar calendar that was superior to our own until later decades of the twentieth century/ earth is a sphere. Mechanics: I presume physics and engineering here? Rules and purpose of construction to be followed (sounds like a health and safety also). Chemistry: herbs to be used, noting a vast amount of research is in the use of natural medicines and their uses and functions today.

Good for an old Book that's about living.

[Priesty77]

@jshowa5 No I disagree. I can't see why wanting to understand scientific principles, study art, music etc should create a conflict a conflict of any kind whatsoever, it's all part of the same thing. As for no knowledge well lets see. Biology: Everything made after it's kind and of it's kind of flesh, that sounds familiar! Medical: If something offends you cut it out (tumors, infections), "place you lips to his and breath back life for resuscitation. Continued >>>>

[Priesty77]

@jshowa5 I constantly test and question, which I think you'll agree is a good thing. When ever you think you have all the answers be ready to feel very foolish. As to my Christianity I'm a firm believer for a number of personal reasons, that doesn't mean I stop studying or making inquiries. It's a thirst for knowledge not a conflict.

[Priesty77]

@jshowa5 No I don't. To the contrary I do believe.

[tsb049]

I don't understand if these faith healers are fake then why doesn't the person who is supposed to be healed say something? Can't that person tell the audience, for example, that he was able to see or hear slightly before?

[baihbalm]

In Jesus name, I give you typhoid.  Stand up and be ill.

[mistereveready]

Mistreated because of their faith is right. When logic and skepticism leave the room, faith is what helps charlatans pretend they have magic powers and push bullshit concepts like religions on to others.

[Priesty77]

I'm a Christian and I thank you for exposing these charlatans. Well done.

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@Priesty77 Thank you - I highly suggest watching the entire show if you can find it.

[Fight4Reason]

@Priesty77 You are still a christian sooo...almost there

[Priesty77]

@Fight4Reason LOL mate their have been many that have tried to change me. Yes I'm still a Christian but please don't compare me to these guys. They hurt so many people and do so much damage to people who follow the laws and do so much good in this world.

[Fight4Reason]

@Priesty77 Can you refere to the comment where i compare you to "these guys"? Im just sayin that you still belive in some crazy shit!

[Priesty77]

@Fight4Reason I can't stop you thinking that :)

[Fight4Reason]

@Priesty77 True that!!

[Priesty77]

@Fight4Reason  spell there*

[skaloon]

@Priesty77

I'm delusional and I thank you for exposing these charlatans. Well done.

[Paladin4Him]

@Priesty77

I Hope you didn't generalise this. Not everyone are charlatans who says Jesus did a miracle. ( Of course being sceptical is good, but don't let it "take control", and tell you miracles are fakes and not possible) As a Christian to another :)

[Priesty77]

@Paladin4Him Oh okay I wasn't quite sure what you referring to. I totally agree, and it's these liars and deceivers who masquerade as Christians who need to be exposed and denounced more so by us than any other group. :)

[TheRealArngrim]

@Priesty77 You're next ^_^ J/K no I'm not

[studiousangel]

just because these false prophets make up miracles for gain doesnt mean miracles are not real. Satan can also perform miracles...just have to be careful...thats why I am wary of any one laying hands on me.

[rawen2011]

Just do a youtube search on T. B. Joshua...and President of Ghana glorifies God...

[rawen2011]

Just do a youtube search on T. B. Joshua...

[rawen2011]

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and He still works miracle and healing. But then of course, the devil has his agents in the church too to discredit just that. But yet again, he also has those who exposes the false but without explaining the existence of the genuine, thus making people to lose faith in God, Christ and the Church. Sadly, these last group of peoples are those who after discovering a fake $ bill throws away all the good ones too. The devil is smarter than Mr. Darren.

[Scraxkat]

I have been healed of acetabular displasia, By the Lord Jesus! Now I don't need a hip replacement. Of course any can explain a counterfeit miracle. But you can't explain the real ones. All you can do is be close minded and ignore them and act like they can't happen. Which is just wrong. Jesus is Lord! God Bless you All!

[Stairc]

@Scraxkat Why doesn't god heal amputees?

[silvurkitends]

very interesting. i feel as if he's just revealed the secret behind a magic trick...

[ravcey]

Thx for the uplosding of this video !

The same stuff is going on in our country also & many inocent people have DIED becaus of these Faith Healing Scams !

[BobSpeedsUpShit]

Anyone else pause at 3:51?

[honeyblossom17]

Bastards! I can not believe that these televangelist preachers use these kinds of tricks to fool people! Doing nothing but making fools out of people with there hope and blind faith.

This is why I hate religion and especially the church!

[moeschizlac]

I've been to one and he laid hands on everyone and they fell. The people were faking when they fell because when he came to me he tried it on me and I didn't fell anything and I had to fake falling so I wouldn't look stupid. My Mom faked falling too.

[divinegod102]

It sickens me that people still actually believe in this shit, in 21st century.

[KnownNoMore]

Derren Brown absolutely owns the fuck out of supernatural claims and paranormal bullshit.

You gotta love this guy :)

[mrstormwind]

This is not true. I don't know if SOME faith healers are fake, but I have seen it closely for years and I have seen healings veryfied by doctors. Real real miracles - and I have experienced on my own body

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@mrstormwind Show me one case that has been verified by doctors. Just one.

[cariopuppetmaster]

@YourBrainOnReligion how come u can never find anyone thats ACTUALLY healed by faith healers, i mean missonaries and faith healers give stories of things like this all the times but they hardly give names,or were to contact them

[fundslender]

@YourBrainOnReligion 8 months, and this person still has not shown proof. That's most revealing.

[scotthendo]

@mrstormwind Send them down to the local burns unit of a hospital then. Put them to real use instead of scamming money off of the vulnerable.

[Npowell01]

@mrstormwind

Tsk. Tsk.

v=51Fn2r-8hHI

[aaronrocs]

@mrstormwind Yeah it is true, It's AAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL bullshit

[siddharthjoshi91]

@mrstormwind You want to know what a real miracle is? Well, I'll give you an example- if someone is able to prove that you have a brain,It'll be a real miracle.

[tsb049]

@mrstormwind I agree. While there are so many fake ones out there, I did hear of some real ones. It has something to do with that persons consciousness and what he perceives he can do or not do in his life. Hard to explain but I tried.

[DRCited]

Hey! This is a great post, thank you very much for sharing! This reminds me of the documentary "The Many Faces of Benny Hinn". These charlatan faith healers have their little minions run around before the show asking the audience about what they want healed as well as their level of disability. Sounds innocent enough, but they ONLY invite those who have moderate disabilities up on stage, using their condition to an advantage, meanwhile leaving the severely disabled to languish in false hope.

[mrstormwind]

@DRCited This is not true, I know of a man here in Denmark whose heart grew to normal size after prayer by benny hinn. doctors were shocked.

[realityhack]

You might want to contact DPRjones as your I think your understanding of copyright is a bit flawed. Throwing up a 'for educational purposes' message does not allow you to just post other peoples copyrighted content.

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@realityhack While I am no lawyer, I am pretty it does as long as a) it's not done in whole and b) is actually educational material (as this video clearly is). I'd ask DPR but I have a feeling I wouldn't get a response - he seems to be a pretty busy guy. If I am mistaken, I'm certainly keen to correct my misunderstanding though!

[6stringsbrainfingers]

There is one disability that no faith healer (fake or not) will EVER be able to correct....The mental illness of belief in any god....

[AuntieDiluvian]

Thank you. I adore Derren Brown and even more so for him doing this.

[mykylc]

I loved it when James Randi busted that first televangelist they showed, Peter Popov. That was on cruel man...and he's back on television 20 years later once again.

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@mykylc Popov is back????

[mykylc]

@YourBrainOnReligion I was flipping through channels one day and it blew my mind to see him on peddling his water. I thought James Randi got rid of him for good.

[YourBrainOnReligion]

@mykylc Unbelievable man. That dude has lead testicles!

[JoeDixon]

@YourBrainOnReligion In an interview, James Randi said he told Johnny Carson at the time that Popoff would be back. Carson didn't think so and figured the guy was finished. Years later, after he had left the Tonight Show, Johnny called James in disbelief when he happened upon a Peter Popoff commercial.

[AndrewTheEternal]

@YourBrainOnReligion

Check dprjones's channel out. He covered it pretty well, but you'll need to start here, because (shock!) Popov isn't above DMCA abuse:

[tjinga2u1]

I think mission trips are good but there used to spread peoples religion by saying there god gave it to them sounds like bribery converting 3rd world areas to there religion it destroys there culture they have had before civilization.

[SEThatered]

Oh irony.

It is not a faith healing we need, it is disease called faith that needs to be healed.

[OukaKisa]

Doing the same thing but for people who are to lazy to learn the tricks: hire people to lie.

[demonorse]

This video reminds me of an old song, The Faith Healer by, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. Anyone out there recall this band? They were from Scotland.

[SofaKingLoaded]

I once saw a Faith Healer, using only the power of prayer and the name of Jesus, make a guys leg grow 4 inches.. funny thing is, his leg was the normal length to begin with.

[madjimms]

@grizzzlyjoe *hacks into database & switches God to Taboo Video*

[UbinTimor]

@madjimms sorry dude there's already a prayer app and it is currently making millions.

[lovingboarding]

MAN TALK!

[TruthSurge]

haha I want to see the guy actually go into a huge mega church in texas and do those and watch them all ooh and ahhh and praise jebus. THEN, while they are still there have the "healed" people get on the mic and say they were not healed. ?

[SeveredFootLoki]

You can't cure stupidity. The day one of these "healers" instills into somebody the ability to accurately explain evolution is the day I become a believer.

[adrenacrumb]

That lady spoke way too well for someone who had been deaf their entire life.

[Coffeeisnecessary]

@adrenacrumb That's true. I know a guy who been deaf since he was 14. For 14 years he spoke normally, now he speaks funny!

[KilluaXIII]

there's not much to expose there. you gotta be braindead to really believe in any of that shit in first place...

[madjimms]

Your videos are always such high quality. Epicness!

[SkepticalBliss]

This is AMAZING! Thank you for exposing these FRAUDS!
