Fall Backward
Kat:
I just found this email from Ray.

Everyone knows and it has been custom since the beginning of the world, that one bows and faces the King. Falling over backward in the presence of the King would be the height of insult and disrespect! No one but Satan would come up with such a shamefull exhibition of the carnal flesh. THERE ARE NO SCRIPTURES in this shameful insult of modern ministers. God has nowhere ordained any such wierd and bizarre nonsense.
God be with you,
Ray

O.K, I'll say it ;D
If anyone...falls backwards, forwards, sideways, up, down, left, or right there is something not quite right.

Hi Kat,
Thanks for digging up that email to Ray, I did not remember (at least consciously) him addressing this issue.
My only purpose in starting this topic was that I thought it was interesting the way scriptures use 'falling backward' as something that perhaps should not be desired, that is why I posted it on this board (Off Topic Discussions) rather than the General Board.
Thanks again,
Joe

I went back once but, it was from the preacher pushing my head back, and I allowed my self to fall back. Keep in mind people are usually praying for something in desperation, and have their eyes closed! If I sensed that I allowed it, then it was my flesh, and not being overcome by the Spirit of God.
I do think that what Krista experienced is more Scriptural, as they use scriptures like when Saul was transformed into Paul on the road to Damascus, or When John fell as one Dead in the book of Revelations! If one "died" standing up I see one crumpling to the ground like a rag doll, like Krista.
I think it goes against the law of gravity & physics to fall backwards, without bending your knees? If your eyes are closed and you stiffen your body, you can loose your balance, and someone who pushes your forhead back can make it happen. Looks like the "Nestea Plunge" to me! :-\
People just really, really want to believe they have been touched by God...
Just my thoughts,
Brenda

Hi Joe,
I've been reading along. I found that email while searching for something else. I have not witnessed anybody actually falling backwards, but find it curious also. I would call it vainglory and just another way that the church shows disrepect for God.
mercy, peace and love
Kat
