TBN Pledge Drive (Paula White)

[ayin jade]

2Pe 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who secretly will bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction.

2Pe 2:2 And many will follow their pernicious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be evil spoken of.

2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness they will use you for gain with well-turned words; for whom judgment from of old does not linger, and their destruction does not sleep.

2Ti 4:3 For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear.

2Ti 4:4 And they will turn away their ears from the truth and will be turned to myths.

2Jo 1:7 For many deceivers have entered into the world, who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the anti-christ.

2Jo 1:8 Look to yourselves, so that we may not lose those things which we worked out, but that we may receive a full reward.

2Jo 1:9 Everyone transgressing and not abiding in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ, he has both the Father and the Son.

2Jo 1:10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house, nor speak a greeting to him.

2Jo 1:11 For he who speaks a greeting to him is partaker of his evil deeds.

They sincerely believe that what they are doing is God's will---and because of that, NONE OF US HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE THEM. Let God do the judging. Our job is to do the loving. To outright say that Paul Crouch and TBN is of the devil is itself of the devil.

Please remember..."judge not lest ye be judged".

Rev 2:1"To the angel of the church in Ephesus write:

These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands: 2I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false.

We must understand that many cults are sincere. The people who drank the poison under Jim Jones of "The People's Temple" were very sincere.

If we see our fellow brothers and sisters drinking the poison of false doctrine and say nothing, we have cheated them of the truth which actually shows that our love for them is not real.

We must judge what comes from the mouth and into ourselves.........without judging the soul.

Saul (Paul)killed christians and I bet many were saying things like........that guy is defintly hellbound. How ironic he gets saved and writes most of the New Test. My point is I never judge the persons heart only their words.

In his love,

Brian

What does WOF stand for?

What does WOF stand for?

Word of faith...I could make a joking side commentary now, but I will refrain...

[DaughterofKing]

OK...so WOF=Bad?

[billie]

OK...so WOF=Bad?

Yes!

[LadyRaven]

OK...so WOF=Bad?

Not just bad, Heretical. Here is a discussion we had on it a while ago, which has references and such...so we don't have to go over it again. I don't want any of my bouncy sisters in Christ (or bretheren) to think I'm pickin on them cause I'm not, but this particular movement of the church is VERY dangerous.

Ok so I was watching Paula White preaching on TBN and she is such a great speaker and I was totally into it and I really felt like she was speaking to me with the things she was saying and it was a really great sermon.

But then the thing is it was also a pledge drive and she was preaching on Psalm 66:12 and so she kept telling people that they needed to get up and go to the phones and plant a seed of $66.12 for the next year to show they have the faith in God and theyre bringing something to the table for him to multiply.

It really stinks cause the sermon was so awesome it's like she was speaking to me and saying everything I needed to hear but then another part of me wants to totally disregard everything she said because the $66.12 stuff sounded so bogus.

So I am really annoyed and frustrated now.

Don't be surprised. TBN has many charismatic and eloquent speakers to stir up its audience to give their very last dime. It's dispicable, quite frankly.

Never heard of her before but it really turns me off when they ask for $$$ I give where I feel it's needed most. It may even be a homeless person when they aren't looking. You will know discernment by the Holy Spirit which dwells within you. You will know when to give and when not too. How much of that money goes to them personally or to help the helpless? One reason I don't like it. I don't really know where it's going. Would rather go down to Red Cross and give or feed the homeless. It's really sad that some of these people give so blindly.

Well the reason it seemed like she was speaking to you was because she is well versed in sales techniques. Like the other TBN pimps she is a snake oil salesman. She is expert in manipulating and deceiving in order to get the gullible to send their money in. You may as well give money to the devil himself as send it to TBN. Why is it that just because some use clever marketing techniques disguised as Christianity people are naive and eager to throw money at them? Any money donated to TBN will ultimately be used to finance and air more phony fund raising that put the best grifting pyramid schemes to shame.
