Dear Dr. Paul Dhinakaran,
Your prophecy about the 2019 Indian
elections failed miserably. As a fellow Christian, I believe I am well within
my rights to take issue with your prophecy, for you boldly claimed that God was
the source of your prophecy.1 I believe God could not have been
the source of your failed prophecy.
You are a highly esteemed
evangelist. Scores of Christians consider you as a man of God. Even a large
group of my relatives and my Christian friends glorify your image and your
ministry. To them, you are their supreme Pastor and leader.
There are more than 200,000 views
for your prophetic video on YouTube. Tens of thousands have watched your
prophecy and many more may have heard about your prophecy.
Sir, I reiterate that your prophecy regarding the elections in India failed. Neither has
God quietened the present leaders nor has HE established young leaders in
authority. The same leadership will continue ruling India for a second
successive term.
Please
explain why your prophecy failed. You owe it to your ardent followers, and
the Christian community, at large. If you still believe that God spoke through
you, then do enlighten us as to how and why God’s Words were not fulfilled.
You
have done a great disservice to Historic Christianity. Not that Historic
Christianity will be destroyed, but you have empowered the detractors to mock
the Historic Christian faith. Your failed prophesy has provided the detractors
of Christianity further ammunition to continue their mocking.
You
have confused many Christians through your prophecies.
Millions of Christians do not know
their Bible. They merely listen to preachers like you. They think your words
are the very words of God.
They may wonder why God erred. These
rather naive Christians could think that God’s plan for India has failed. Some
of them may even think that the finite man has defeated the infinite God’s plan
for India.
They may also think that God has no
control over India. But every sincere student of the Bible knows that God is in
control over everything, India included. Of course, God may allow certain
perplexing developments. But in no way can we come to the conclusion that God is
not in control. The sovereign God rules over everything.
Little do these naïve Christians know
or realize that God, who is the greatest conceivable being, cannot fail. God
cannot err. Whatever the sovereign and supreme God decides will happen, come
what may. But, alas, your failed prophecy has placed a barricade in an honest
disciple’s growth in Christ.
Did
God change HIS mind?
Some of your very ardent followers
may think that God changed HIS mind after speaking with you. But God is good
and HE is just. HE cannot change HIS mind so much so that HE misled you into
deceiving HIS people, and in the process shaming you as well.
But
the reality is this. God did not speak through you.
Failure on your part to acknowledge
that God did not speak through you is tantamount to cheating your gullible followers.
They believe that God spoke through you.
But God did not speak with you or
through you. You spoke out of your own accord. Period.
As your brother in Christ, my heart
goes out for you and many other false prophets and teachers who are roaming the
earth doing a great deal of disservice to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I
feel for you because the Word of God condemns false teachers/prophets. Here’s
an excerpt from 2 Peter 2:
But there were
also lying prophets among the people then, just as there will be lying
religious teachers among you. They’ll smuggle in destructive divisions, pitting
you against each other—biting the hand of the One who gave them a chance to
have their lives back! They’ve put themselves on a fast downhill slide to
destruction, but not before they recruit a crowd of mixed-up followers who
can’t tell right from wrong.
They give the
way of truth a bad name. They’re only out for themselves. They’ll say anything,
anything, that sounds good to exploit you. They won’t, of course, get by with
it. They’ll come to a bad end, for God has never just stood by and let that
kind of thing go on…
God is
especially incensed against these “teachers” who live by lust, addicted to a
filthy existence. They despise interference from true authority, preferring to
indulge in self-rule. Insolent egotists, they don’t hesitate to speak evil against
the most splendid of creatures. Even angels, their superiors in every way,
wouldn’t think of throwing their weight around like that, trying to slander
others before God.
These people
are nothing but brute beasts, born in the wild, predators on the prowl. In the
very act of bringing down others with their ignorant blasphemies, they
themselves will be brought down, losers in the end. Their evil will boomerang
on them. They’re so despicable and addicted to pleasure that they indulge in
wild parties, carousing in broad daylight. They’re obsessed with adultery,
compulsive in sin, seducing every vulnerable soul they come upon. Their
specialty is greed, and they’re experts at it. Dead souls!...
There’s nothing
to these people—they’re dried-up fountains, storm-scattered clouds, headed for
a black hole in hell. They are loudmouths, full of hot air, but still they’re
dangerous. Men and women who have recently escaped from a deviant life are most
susceptible to their brand of seduction. They promise these newcomers freedom,
but they themselves are slaves of corruption, for if they’re addicted to
corruption—and they are—they’re enslaved.
If they’ve
escaped from the slum of sin by experiencing our Master and Savior, Jesus
Christ, and then slid back into that same old life again, they’re worse than if
they had never left. Better not to have started out on the straight road to God
than to start out and then turn back, repudiating the experience and the holy
command. They prove the point of the proverbs, “A dog goes back to its own
vomit” and “A scrubbed-up pig heads for the mud.” (2 Peter 2: 1-3, 10-14,
17-22; MSG)
There are a few Christian friends who
are distraught over your failed prophecy. I pray that every Christian and every honest seeker who’s
caught in the crossfire of your failed prophesy, the actual election results,
and the mocking of the detractors of Historic Christianity would continue to
seek the face, the presence and the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I do hope and pray that you would do
what is good for the sake of the Christian community. I most certainly pray
that your ministry would be pleasing and acceptable to the King of Kings and
the Lord of Lords.
Sincerely,
Rajkumar Richard
