Are these folks for real?

I should ask for a million bucks because if I ask I'll receive?
If I'm not a millionaire soon then it's because I don't have enough faith?

My health will be instantly healed if I just have enough faith.

If I have enough faith, at the age of 39 I can look like I'm 25 again---- or at least I can afford to buy enough make-up and big hair so that no one has a clue as to what I really look like.

Of course I'll get my money/health/desires of my heart quicker if I send of x amount of dollars to this ministry or to buy that book or series of tapes, etc.

Most of the people to teach these things come right off of the Total Bimbos and Nutcases station.

Does anyone really believe in these teachings?
Are they right about anything or have they convulted the whole Truth to fit their teachings?

They are definitely real - real con-artists.

Why do you think that so many people buy into their teachings?

Not only do they go along with what these people are teaching, they will defend it like it was the Gospel.

Some of it is greed (alot actually) but some of it I think is frustration that we see the bad guys gettign all the goods - when are we going to get our share?  They don't want to wait for God's justice and think they can hurry it along by demanding God gives them their inheritance now so they can spend it on pleasures of the earth.  (sound like the prodigal son to me and he ended up dead to the Father until he repented).

I would say they are just like the roman religion and the world, if it feels good belive it.

Your not a believer, and your sure NOT my brother.

And Yes I H-A-T-E Your F-A-L-S-E RELIGION. I never said I hate you or any of your C-L-O-N-E-S

[Lionroar0]

Yes michael i agree.

Brother

Well brother i guess the Jesus you have and the one i have are different becasue mine tells me that you are my Brother in Christ.  Jeus died for my sins just as he did for your but it seems that your Jesus died for your sins and not mine.

I feel very sorry for you.

Ambassador! That's not in any way Christ-like. And if you really think that Catholicism is wrong, that's no way to witness, either. Their faith is different, but as far as I can tell, none of the differences in their beliefs matter for salvation. What, specificly, do you think is wrong about the Catholic doctrine? I mean, differences that will stop them from going to heaven? And don't throw out a bunch of insults, either. I think alot of all this fighting is due to misunderstanding, and if that's true, I need to know what you honestly think.

Can you take the anti-Catholic statements to another thread please!
I'm against Catholicism too, but I see no reason why Catholicism has to be drug into every thread.

Or, a thought just occured to me, could it be that you support some of these liars on the Taking Bribes Network? Maybe you have no defense about following these nuts so you choose to take jabs at Catholics to try to make yourself look better?
I can't really think of any other reason why you'd bring Catholicism into a thread that has nothing what-so-ever to do with Catholicism.

Michael is right, he really has nothing to say. It seems as if no matter what the subject is, there are a few around here that just can't help spreading their prejudice and hate. May'be we need to give 'em a little slack, this might be the only interaction w/ people they get and their social skills aren't up to snuff yet. Just a thought.

[Matt]

Ambassador, my question was a real question. I wasn't just rebuking you through questions - I think that's cruel. So, I'm still waiting for an answer...

And now back to the topic at hand....

I agree that a lot of it could be greed.
I wonder how much of it is just out of blindness?

I get very concerned when a well-known preacher tells people that we are "little gods" and tells diabetics to get rid of their insulin, and these people not only listen.... they give him money and defend him.

Or when a lady comes on crying her eyes out about starving children in 3rd world countries needing help and I (a Wal*Mart cashier) need to send them some money to feed these children. Now, I do sponsor a child in a 3rd world country and I think that Christians should do what we can to help them. However, I have a hard time swallowing the fact that I need to do more coming from a lady who could feed the world if she'd give up her mascara for a few days.
