Tv Preachers

[Jabez]

Which ones do you like?,or dislike?And the reasons.

[Royo]

I can't think of any I like. Most of them seem to me to fit into Romans 16.17.
"For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple."

Love in Christ our Lord.   Roy.

[Jabez]

How about Joel Osteen?T.D.Jakes?

[Tamara]

I'm afraid I don't watch T.V. evangalism as they appear to be a little brash for me.  I don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings but, I feel they do nothing for me.  Maybe they do for others, but, I am of a simple faith and just don't need them.
Love..Tamara

If you ever have a chance to whatch joel osteen,check him out.every service starts like this...

This is my Bible.
I am what it says I am.
I can do what it says I can do.
Today I will be taught the Word of God.
I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.
I will never be the same.
I am about to receive the incorruptible, indestructible, ever-living seed of the Word of God.
I will never be the same.
Never, never, never.
I will never be the same. In Jesus name.

Oklahoma Howdy to Tamara,

I don't think you will hurt anyone's feelings on this subject. I would say some some of the television evangelists are Godly and able ministers of HIS WORD. Others are there for money and other wrong reasons. My biggest problem with some of them is they divert resources from local assemblies and use the offerings they receive in a manner that is not pleasing to God.

On the other side of the coin, some television evangelists fill a void in reaching the lost who would not have heard the Gospel otherwise. It is also true that some of their audience are elderly and ill shut-ins who are not able to attend local services.

Regardless, this is a controversial topic for most Christians. Some make television evangelism a ministry of "give me money" and live lavish lifestyles or commit fraud with the offerings they receive. This is especially sad when many of those giving are very poor or living on fixed incomes.

In Christ,
Tom

i dont get it?

Oklahoma Howdy to Jabez,

Don't let Ebia get to you. She is making fun of the Christian thoughts you posted. Ebia is obviously lost and needs Jesus in her heart.

In Christ,
Tom

They build very rich worldly empires!
However ocassionally they preach Christ and perhaps the Spirit will see that His message comes through all this passing of the collection plate.

[Mr. 5020]

There are a few that I like to listen to.

John Hagee
E.V. Hill (when they show his old ones)
Joel Osteen (hope I spelled his name right)

There are a few I cannot stand.

Benny Hinn (equivalent to the Christian WWE)
Rod Parsley (see above)

These healthy/wealthy/happy doctrined guys drive me nuts.  I wish they'd take them off the air and stop giving Christianity a bad name.  However, I try to remember the scripture:

Phillipians 1:15-18
¹⁵Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:
¹⁶The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;
¹⁷but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
¹⁸What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

[Tamara]

Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer, Marilyn Hickey, Kenneth Copeland...and his wife...
Something is desperately wrong there...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

They are the reason I switch off ANY T.V. evangelists.  I haven't heard those you speak of, but I do believe with all sincerity that our Heavenly Father would use correctness in some evangelists.  His sheep hear His voice!

Love..Tamara.

I don't watch any of the tv Preachers, just because I really don't know where they are coming from, most of them are asking for money and that is a turn off for me.  Look at the sets they have I could pay my bill's for a year or more with the money they put into them.  Oh and the make-up they wear some look like well you know......  

[Tamara]

Ditto.  

[Jabez]
