What Are Your Thoughts On TBN?

[JIME]

We don't have cable or satelite, so we go to a website called Christian Tuner.com and watch it there. There are also alot to Christian websites you can watch good christian teaching.

Thanks!

Even though I find the majority of teaching on TBN not to be true, there are some preachers on that are very well worth listening to. I posted a link before so you can see who is on when. Support those who preach and teach His word, even if they are on TBN.

I have seen a lot of christians criticize TBN and claim that it's full of false preachers and teachers and that they preach a watered down gospel. I have heard others say that they preach the Word and that many have been led to salvation through the boradcasting. This leaves me is a situation where I am unsure and don't know what to think about TBN.

I have enjoyed certain Evangelists onTBN for years however what is important is to have your own home church. This will give you roots that will help you to choose which Evangelist is speaking what you are being taught in your home church. We all need a foundation and if you don't have that and watch a lot of different Preachers you will be lost and unsure of what to believe in.

TBN teaches a "prosperity" doctrine and this turns a lot of people off to what they preach & teach. I've watched TBN since it's infancy or shortly there after and it seems it has changed a lot. The nice part about TBN is you can pick what programs you like,I never watch Paul & Jan or their son due to the prosperity factor. There are several programs and preachers I really like on there and there are a few that TBN has canceled for whatever reasons.

Pick a program you like,if any,and enjoy it. You don't have to watch the Telethons or buy anything from them,but just find something about it you like.

In my observation it depends on what time you watch. One night I and the wife was watching around 1:00Am; and they were talking about a ministry for strippers to help them out of the profession; needless to say, they could have done without the scantly clad females to prove their point. There's no doubt to me, that the world has gotten in to TBN in some shows. but sometimes you can catch a good preacher. If you're going to watch TBN; my advise to anyone, is to make sure you're well grounded in the word, that way you can filter out the yahoo's.

I just thought you should know the term 'yahoos' was used to denigrate christian groups. Many pronounced Yeshua as "ya-hoo-shua"

i don't know about now. but TBN been a blessing alot of times. and yes TD Jakes, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer, and Creflo dollar are good to listen to. since i can't watch TBN no more i listen to TD Jakes on youtube.

Regardless of TBN or not. when your heart is really seeking God, God will find a way for you to hear what he has to say uplift, answer your prayers, and send his very presence.

i don't have TBN but i was tired of being alone this past month. i was just sitting by myself music on(secular) playing games with violance(military, secular shooter games with curse words). i just prayed a 307 second prayer. "i'm tired of being alone."

the next day i was asked to go out hunting with an old friend. he asked me to meet him by a lake after noon. i didn't show. so what happened was, he left without me not showing at the appointed time, so he's about 5-10 minutes out of town and looks back and his sled(for hauling a catch back home)was gone. and he told me that he found it at the lake we were suppose to meet. and he also told me that since he came back to get the sled, he'll might as well just come pick me up. and he did. my ski doo was at the shop about to have new ski's on and almost a full tank of gas. and we went to pick it up. and he went on out hunting trip.

Prayer works. and i didn't even have TBN at the time. But no doubt it'll be a blessing when i tune in. Right now i just have Sky angel to watch, Worthyboards to read and a faith to pray. is all i got right now.

before you want to tune into anything. really just try to seek God. i don't remember what verse or what book in the bible it states that what God....

gosh i can't remember right now. but it's goes something God sending a message. and it has something to do with rain or something like that. I can't remember the verse. rain doesn't reach the ground without watering the plants or something. i really can't remember.

but my point is. When your really seeking, he'll send a message for you to hear.

i don't have any bible verses to quote. the only thing i can give you is experience in the past month about prayer being answered all with out watching TBN or Sky angel.

sorry if i got off topic. but TBN has been a blessing. not sure about now since i havn't seen TBN broadcasting since november of 08. but from past experiences it's been a blessing.
