Still Waiting for the Miracle: Why Cult Healing Is Not Instant

John and Chino discuss the tragic impact of divine healing doctrines in faith-based groups, beginning with personal reflections and experiences. Their conversation highlights how misinformation and conspiracy theories in religious communities can lead to dangerous health decisions. Chino then shares the coroner's report detailing Hobart Freeman's death from untreated diabetes, illustrating the severe consequences of rejecting medical care. They read and reflect on an email from a former member of Freeman's Faith Assembly, revealing how cult-like environments restrict access to information and suppress critical thought, especially around death and illness. The episode explores the long-term emotional and spiritual aftermath for those who left Faith Assembly, including interviews and personal stories from survivors. They trace the doctrinal lineage from early Pentecostal figures like Dowie and Bosworth through William Branham and onto Hobart Freeman. The discussion reveals how core theological errors—such as misinterpretation of scripture, especially Mark 11:24—were passed down and intensified, culminating in real-world tragedies including preventable deaths. They emphasize the need for scriptural accuracy, critical thinking, and accountability. The conversation closes with a powerful call to evaluate healing claims against biblical patterns and historical evidence. ______________________ Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962  Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K  ______________________ - Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham  - Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ
