Megachurch Pastor Tries To Justify His Lavish Lifestyle | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 40169223  United States11/12/2019 10:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. Quoting: Occam's Shaving Cream the needle is the passage through the cities fortified walls and not a real needle. Actually the original saying, as found in ancient Syriac texts use the word Rope, and not Camel. Rope makes far more sense in the context of the saying. Also, it would have been very easy for a camel or horse to pass through any typical gate house to a fortification or walled city. |

It shocks me how far from God Christian's are. Go to any church on Sunday and it's feel good bs. With half the time spent singing songs from 100 years ago that don't have anything to do with God when there are songs In the Bible they could be singing. The other half is taking up money and weak as water preaching. |

With that said; I much prefer Christian megachurch pastors having access to massive wealth and their ability to manage significant financial power over that of the luciferian technocrati who the world allows to manage their empires of death and destruction!!! |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 76891060 United States11/12/2019 10:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is nothing wrong with being wealthy, but failure isn’t the greatest test a Christian will face, success is the greatest test. Wealth can be used for God’s kingdom or Satan’s, for instance. Take Derek Prince who passed away in 2008, travelled all over the world even to muslim countries to preach Jesus, his ministry has reached hundreds of millions, he had money, but it was all used to further God’s kingdom. Did he have a nice home? Yes. But he knew where his blessings came from, but to look at him he was extremely humble and success and pride was a huge concern of his that it never entered in to his heart. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76891060 Another example, Rick Warren, guy is worth millions, but donates his 2 million dollar salary in it’s entirety to charity, has one home and he and his family have lived in it for 30 years, and still drives a 1980’s pickup truck and that’s his only vehicle. Wealth can corrupt a ministry faster then anything. Jesus didn't start a religion you know.. your bible was corrupted... and he is not 2nd person Trinity either...another bible corruption to hide the FACT that God knowing humans are sons of God The Bible says that because of the sacrifice of Jesus we are given the legal rights of redemption and to be Sons of God, the Bible isn’t corrupt. People are corrupt, I would invite you to study the Bible, you will find some absolutely astounding and wonderful truths. With that being said this thread was about the preachers lifestyle, not about the truth of the Bible. |

 User ID: 70443898 United States11/12/2019 10:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All this proves is that millions of people think they can buy their way into heaven. By supporting this man they hope they can earn good graces. Sad, he is a demon steering money away from good uses. No different than I see the pope. Evil people do evil things. Quoting: Kotlik 60644295 Made me think of this, which has a way deeper meaning than most know. Takes discernment, but it's there. Evil need not be overt to be evil, lots of good people do evil on a daily basis. A simple lie to someone on the phone is evil, and most refuse to believe that to be true. |

Quoting: BRIEF Can you prove that he gave 25 Million? “Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?

Forum Administrator 11/12/2019 10:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Poor people are the greediest people I've ever met...they just have less resources...karma or God's will whichever you choose to believe... Quoting: BRIEF ... and these pastors use greed to get people to give their last dime. "Brothers and Sisters I say unto you, whatever you give, God will return 10 fold! Open up and give to the will of the Lord!" Yeah, these turds go to seminars to teach them how to hook people. It is awful. Had "ministers" in our family -- some of the most disgusting, greedy types I have ever known. I always called their shit, and they loved to tell the rest of the family that I am demon possessed. Funny thing is: when presented with a malevolent haunting once, they tucked tail and ran, I was the one who went into deep meditation, and confronted the entity. For that, they then called me a witch. Can't make this crazy shit up. Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot withstand the storm" the warrior whispers back "I am the storm" INTJ-A |

If you want to go to church, attend a church that doesn't ask for tithes at all. Stay away from these con artists and megachurches. |
