I'm sorry, but I definitely missed something. What was I supposed to see happen?

This is just silly. Anyone could do that by moving their hip a little, but why would God answer a prayer to deform someone anyway? They should have prayed to heal his blue jeans/white socks/black dress shoes deformity.

Great demo for the simple minded, and hey, the guy could have at least worn some clean socks.

What prayer? I don't recall the guy asking God to do anything at all, much less ask Him to "deform somebody". He simply commanded the leg(s), in Jesus' name, to move out (or in), and it apparently did. Theoretically, one could use that to heal someone who has one leg shorter than the other. (I have seen many)

Move their hip a little? So you think the guy setting in the chair was working in collusion with the preacher to make up a phony video? To what end? So when the guy in the chair said "yeah it's real", he was lying?

The point of the demonstration was to show (visually) the truth of Jesus' saying, that if you say to a mountain to "move and be cast aside", it will. (providing you have faith that it will. If you don't, then nothing will happen) The "mountain" can be any problem in your life...it's not literally a "mountain".

Matthew 17:20
"If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you".

I expected atheists to scoff and not believe, but am amazed that so few Christians today will believe all of Jesus' teachings.

So, if you're a believer, why don't you go end the starvation in Africa? Should be easy enough huh? Just ask your Jesus to do it.

What do I think?? I think it's unbelievable that there are people around that actually believe it! You can do it yourself. Just sit on a chair and push your right leg out. Also note at point 1:30 how the guys toe is bent back as he strains to stretch his leg. Wonder why these things are never done under controlled scientific/medical conditions? They are always done in someone's home or some Nigerian village. Odd don't you think?

Perhaps they have more intelligence than you give them credit for.
