Interesting story. On the other hand.... Jesus also said to the rich man, "give away all that you have to the poor and follow me." Has that Pastor done so? My bet is that he drives a pretty nice car....
 Quoting: Evil Cretin Heretic


Most pastors at mega-churches aren't hurting that's for sure. I'm not sure they would give up their 3,500 sf house and nice cars and toys to do the true will of God.

I live just outside of DC in MD. I cannot tell you how many people I see every day begging. I give when I can, but there are so many on the street corners, it would be impossible to give all the time. Sometimes, I have opened my car window and appologized for not having any cash, and told them that I would pray for them. Most of them thank me for praying.

Please people, give when you can to those on the streets. Tell them you will pray for them. Then pray for them.

Thanks for the ban.

You have proved my point. You want a nice condemn the christians thread and are using a fake story to do so. The only scripture that liberlas know is judge not lest you be judged, because their deeds are wicked.

ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST?

TISSUES AT THE READY!!

Pastor Jeremiah Steepek transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church that he was to be introduced as the head pastor at that morning.

He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with people for service, only 3 people out of the 7-10,000 people said hello to him.

He asked people for change to buy food – no one in the church gave him change.

He went into the sanctuary to sit down in the front of the church and was asked by the ushers if he would please sit in the back.

He greeted people to be greeted back with stares and dirty looks, with people looking down on him and judging him.

As he sat in the back of the church, he listened to the church announcements and such.

When all that was done, the elders went up and were excited to introduce the new pastor of the church to the congregation.

“We would like to introduce to you Pastor Jeremiah Steepek.” The congregation looked around clapping with joy and anticipation.

The homeless man sitting in the back stood up and started walking down the aisle. The clapping stopped with all eyes on him.

He walked up the altar and took the microphone from the elders (who were in on this) and paused for a moment then he recited,

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

Sweetheart, you are trying to teach what I already know....

Like you, I am following the same path, albeit narrow and I tend to fall off it now and again, I still get back on it with determination to walk it to the end!

Nobody knows better than the other....You are not any better than a hypocrite either...

We are ALL God's children, he loves us all no matter our flaws...hf
 Quoting: ShowGirls



I didn't need you to point out Im not better, was it really necessary?

Was it done out of Love?

Have you witnessed me committing a sin?

What does the bible say about the splinter in my brothers eye?

I make no judgement, I point out hypocrites behavior, I know I'm a sinner.

I pray constantly for Gods forgiveness.

I merely point out that IF they don't change, they are headed for a place I don't want nor does God want them to go. Hell.

Our duty as Christians TRUE Christians is to help them avoid that by love, not by what Man teaches but by what Jesus taught us!

 Quoting: Rabid Wolf


What was the pastors name again?
 Quoting: EbolaBlood


Pastor FakeStory.

You'd think if the OP is really a Christian that they wouldn't want to promote falsehood. God's word doesn't need us to lie and make up stories to show His power. In fact all it does is reinforce to unbelievers the perception that Christians are hypocrites and liars.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44195363


The OP is pointing out that many "Christians" are not true Christians at all. It shows that being a true Christian is about following the teachings of Christ, not just about going to church on Sunday.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61209134


Of course it's not just about going to Church on a Sunday.....

It's about how you treat each other, what you do to help others that are less fortunate...

We live in a World where anger, hatred and distrust are easy feelings to obtain...I know, I'm ashamed to admit that I succumb to these wrong and ungodly acts every now and again....

But I am human, I learn from them, I try to be a better person, not just to please God but for the sake of others...

We are all sinners no matter how big or small the sin...

It's the process of trying our best to remain sinless that matters the most...

Re: ***PASTOR dresses up as homeless man and SHOCKS the church members!! A MUST READ***
This is my experience of every Christian I have ever known or spoken to. Judgemental, damning, unfriendly to those with different values or circumstances.

This Pastor knows what false Christians these people are.

I don't believe in god and have spoken to homeless people, I would not give the money as Id be scared if was to be spent on drugs. Instead I go to the local sandwich shop and buy them food. I don't do this because I believe in your god based on Egyptian gods, I do it because I think it is the right thing to do.

Its interesting, I once asked a friend who was training to be a priest. If I lived following the commandments, but did not believe in god or Jesus would I go to heaven? The answer was an unequivocal "No". Thankfully I don't believe in heaven either.

You are a well meaning atheist however you have made an erroneous statement by condemning all Christians you have "known or spoke to".

Your understanding of the Christian way as being based on Egyptian gods is based on Illuminati propaganda facilitated and distributed to Americans as the Zeitgeist.

Remember this world is controlled by a nefarious cabal of Satanists, their symbols are everywhere. Jesus is the only person of history who started a movement to successfully counter this demonic hegemony.... The plan is in action, Christians are being persecuted in every nation. Jesus will return to rule the new Jerusalem!

Re: ***PASTOR dresses up as homeless man and SHOCKS the church members!! A MUST READ***
As Elaine would say: Fake, fake, fake, fake. Playing tricks on people to humiliate them is not the way God teaches. Beggars are everywhere these days, and most are just low-level cons, using the same or similar sob-story for years at a time to separate the gullible from their money. I am not impressed by this pastor's method, nor would I have felt guilty about not giving money to this fake beggar. IF he had said: I'm hungry; please give me food, I would certainly have given him food. But if he was just making the rounds as a typical panhandler -- well, then, no soup for you!

God gives us brains to use and invites us to use them. Helping con-artists remain in the gutter (which is what you do when you give panhandlers money) is not helping them in any real sense at all.

Shame on the pastor for tricking his flock. This will backfire on him big-time, as many will have difficulty trusting him.

... preying on gullible people. I find it interesting that this woman uses prayer as a "fall-back" to giving money, considering that prayer should be the first response of a Christian. Also, I also find it interesting that the woman announces that she's going to pray for people as well as give them money; Jesus says that when you do your alms-giving (or charity work, which includes praying for someone), you don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing (meaning that you give and pray anonymously). Jesus tells us that those who announce their alms-giving have no further reward than that of pride and self-satisfaction. Maybe something to think about in this Christian self-flagellation thread.

The pastor wasn't needy -- he was faking it. Many people called out to Jesus during his time of ministry, but he only responded to those who cried out from their heart in genuine need. You see as man sees, not as God sees. There is enough trickery and deceit in the church without pastors adding to it.
