Evangelical Christians Want Dead Bodies To Practice Resurrections (Video)
Hold on to your hats, folks! Get ready for some fun and adventure in hastening the zombie apocalypse with the Dead Raising Team!
This completely not crazy group of evangelicals claims to have brought
eleven people back to life with the awesome power of Jesus!
Do you believe in magic? Well, these people do!
The
Dead Raising Team, a ministry (yes, they call themselves a ministry)
led by Tyler Johnson, spends much of its time conducting training in the
ways of bringing the dead back to life. Johnson claims he is so
important that he is allowed past police lines at car accident sites in
his state. Feel safer?
The group’s web site describes its founder as such:
Tyler’s
journey into the miraculous was just that: a journey. Much of that
journey started the day his father died in his arms from a sudden heart
attack. Over the next five years of Tyler’s life, he reevaluated much of
what he had been taught about God and life itself.
Through
much prayer, and with the help of a few select individuals in Tyler’s
life, he came to the conclusion that it was in fact God’s will to invade
earth with heaven in supernatural ways. He began to see miracles take
place when he would pray for people, which validated his sneaking
suspicion that God’s healing was available for all.
Even
more significantly, Tyler began to believe that Christ didn’t just
obtain for men the ability to be made well through His sacrifice, but
that men did not have to suffer the loss of loved ones through death.
Matthew 10:8 began to burn in Tyler’s heart, and he desired to see this
verse manifest in fullness rather than through only the healing of a
body that was still alive. Tyler wanted to see others spared of the pain
his own heart went through that morning that he held his own father in
his arms as he died. Tyler’s hatred for death is not just theological,
but closely linked to his own experience.
This
led Tyler to fling himself into praying for the dead whenever he got
the chance. Soon others heard about this, especially after resurrections
began to take place, and began to join him. After some time, the Lord
released Tyler to travel and train others in the revelation of Christ:
The One that is Abundant Life.
Since
the DRT has been started, Tyler has written 4 books, two being fiction,
and two non-fiction. Tyler and his wife Christine are blissfully
married with four kids. They hope to see a DRT started in every city in
the world, so that nobody could die without being prayed back to life.”
In
other words, if religion was taken completely out of the picture, no
one would think twice before making sure this man is heavily medicated
and safely tucked away in a place where he can never hurt anyone–but
since Jesus has apparently gone insane, we’re just going to have to call
him the ‘Chosen One.’ Even if we don’t have to, we’re going to, anyway.
Like
child whose pet parakeet just died, The Chosen One and crew rush from
corpse to corpse wishing–praying–that it will magically sprint to life
and start doing cartwheels.
The
Chosen One and his team of make-believe Messiahs travel boldly from
hospital to hospital, mortuary to mortuary in search of the next corpse
upon which to pray, and the next believer upon whose emotions to prey.
Recently, the “ministry” appeared in a documentary called “Deadraisers,”
a film that focuses on the DRT and others who feel empowered by God to
raise the dead. Unfortunately, empirical evidence failed to produce
itself during the filming of the documentary–all corpses upon which the
group attempted to work its magic remain completely, totally, and
utterly deceased
