T.V. Preachers who steal in the name of God

[damo1]

This has been covered over and over again on these boards. This was brought to my attention when I first started visiting here and then began to look for myself at several televangelists. I was disgusted and the more I see in researching, the more disgusted I become. Like someone else mentioned before, however, someone being on tv doesn't necessarily mean that they are preching something contrary to Scripture. The scope of those who do, however, is nearly overwhelming. I tend to get so caught up in attempting to expose false doctrine that I can loose sight of the truth. That's a vicious trap. We must know the Word and be aware that there are numerous wolves in sheep's clothing and not be taken captive by their hollow and deceptive theology.

Those wolves wear some very fancy sheep's clothing.

I used to watch them to learn (for a very short time), then after I truly learned in other places I did as you and would occasionally watch to see what lies, (false doctrine), were being told. It became too difficult to watch.

It isn't so much their antics but to see the audience falling for it hook, line and sinker was very disheartening.

Yeah, me too. I watch Charles Stanley and listen to a few others online but that's about it, other the my local church obviously

damo1, are you endorsing Benny Hinn and Billy Graham?

high i just came back and found your message you left no i am not i just shared my views and on the search i did on these two as at one stage i judged benny hinn very harshley until i was able to see what was done for my partner who is a pastor in the philppines she is like me very strong and very grounded in gods word i once attended a billy graham confrence when he came to australia and it was mind blowing to hear this guy preach but i had my own note pad and my own bible next to me and when i came home i just went over my notes i jotted down to make sure i was not being miss led this is the way i was taught by my spiritual mentor and it helps me a lot by doing it this way so i hope this explains what i am like when it comes to tv preachers and evangelists

belssings from damo1 damien

[Psalms are great]

We have a country full of gutless denominational and non-denominational churches that don't want to rock the boat. That goes for other important issues as abortion, basic (Biblical) human rights, apostacy in the church, sexual morality, sin, etc. The majority complacent crowd do not want to defend their faith, it would cost them part or all of their earthly comforts. Persecution is not on the agenda of things to do. We'll just leave that up to the opressed around the world. After all, since we are Americans were better than evetyone else, aren't we?

Having said this I can set back and wait for replies from people that I'm judging a specific person or persons. All I'm am doing is writing about things I SEE and HEAR. God is the Judge of all. Unless this country doesn't get back in proper fellowship with God amd repent of our nonchalant Christianity, HE will judge us and find us wanting. Their are good people out their declaring this on a daily basis. They are treated like the prophets of the old testament, as religious kooks.

Great Response!
