The Pentecost Church on Mouton Street, Horizon saw a healing seminar that definitely was different for conservative Christians.
Organised by the Hebraic Roots Teaching Institute’s (HRTI) Professor Wimpie Liebenberg and Professor Maki Klopper, this was an attraction worthy of even sceptics’ attention.
The day was titled “Intamacy with Y’shua (Hebrew for Jesus)” and sub-titled “Tea with the King”.
The teachings was based on the concept that if a person complies with the ten commandments, it will bring healing in their lives, whether physical or emotional – body, spirit and soul.
In Hebrew the phrase r-fu-ah al pi ha Torah means “healing upon the mouth of the Torah” (the first five books of the Bible) and this is the essence of this teaching.
The Record spoke to Klopper and wanted to know if this is not a subculture or even cult aspect of Christianity, specifically referring to the Kabbalah (the mystical part of Judaism that also features profoundly in a lot of occultist practices).
“No, definitely not,” says Klopper.
“The Kabbalah is the dark side, and exact opposite of what we teach,” she strongly denies.
The Record also wanted to know if this is not contradicting Biblical teachings that Jesus the Messiah came to replace the Law with grace.
Kloppers denied this as well, saying that the Torah is the foundation of all Christianity.
