is it gods will that men and women broadcast the bible on tv by shouting at us and saying 'touch the screen, put you're hand to mine, hold as small child to it, i can heal you, god is with me' maybe if we send in a cheque for $150 we can have a personlised prayer. i mean come on there are so many tv preachers out there but are thety really preachers, have they been to vicar school? i doubt it
if you ar christian do agree with these preachers, because my thery is that these people are out to make money with no religious knoledge just a few bible quotes and a bank account.

Meh, its not God's will to have corrupted preachers, however, try to not always find those bad apples in the bushel and just take those apples that are good. Plus, writing very neatly makes u look better

Your little tirade makes a caricature out of men of God that seek to preach God's word. True, some may go a bit overboard, but it is apparent that you have not sat down at any length to really listen to any of them... Try spending some serious time actually listening to a full message and to more than one of the tv preachers before you stereotype them all in one big lump.

No absolutely not. I think it is a disgrace and a miss representation of what a relationship with God should be. It is terrible that people get exploited because they want to feel close to God and they are lost or hurting. The bible said ask and you will receive in Mathew, it did not say have a television evangelist ask for you, then you give him money and you will receive.

Sometimes if a person is really foolish the only way they will escape from their foolishness is by being tricked. You are clever enough to know that the way to Heaven is not found by buying a $150 dollar magic ticket. People who believe that this is how you find salvation might only realise their mistake after they have made it.

I am a Christian and I totally agree with you that these people are just out to make money. My bible tells me that Jesus asked his disciples to only take a stave and a cloak. It also tells me in one incident that a person who wanted to "convert" Christianity for money was condemned by the disciples.
Nope, I totally agree with you that these people are giving Christianity a bad name. Why do they succeed? Because the bible says that they have itching ears and would rather listen to nonsense than to listen to sound doctrine.

I don't agree with these guys. God can heal, but He is not obligated to use these people to do it.
If you want some information about these guys, read "The born again Jesus of the Word Faith Movement" by Judith Matta. This book will put things into perspective.

If they are asking for money to give you some silly knowledge or blessing, than all that they want to do is to fool religiouss persons to take their money.They take advantage of their pure religiou, weaknesses or the ambitious to be a good christian, they are selfish and thieves.

I don't want to generalize all the preachers on TV but I think most of them are full of sh*t. I think it's a disgusting that they would use peoples faith to manipulate them and take there money. Tsk Tsk Tsk.

I'm not a christian. Can I answer it, can I, can I?
It's all a money making scam! Look at the church of latter day saints and the FBI most wanted list. What's the connection?

2 Peter 2:1
[ False Teachers and Their Destruction ] But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
