I think it's just great that he can 'relate' to the average person in such a meaningful way. No excuses either, straight to the point.

BarbK - Accent? I never noticed one. He's from Texas and I'm from Chicago, I would think that I would have noticed. Are we talking about the same guy?

Sommer - I understand your opinion. I do have a question to think about. Would it be possible that since the Jews are the chosen people of God that He has set aside special rules for His special people.

Melanie- Greed can be a detrimental factor, yes, but is it? Or is it our cynicism that prevents us from seeing the truth even if that person is solely trying to bring people to God?

Heresyhun- You're assuming that the giving is money. Giving can be your heart, your love and your help in prayer.

luvwinz - Have you considered that God has many different soldiers. Some that focus on current affairs and others to focus on the future? Some to do His work with the clergy and others to fight the hard fight against evil. Just because John Hagee doesn't fulfill all categories does not mean he's wrong. He may only be chosen for what God wanted him to be.

Redflag - Your response barely deserves an answer. Again I'll tell you that being over-weight is not necessarily gluttony. Nevermind the fact that he's bringing people to God and you're not. So remove the plank from your own eye b4 you try to remove his splinter. And please grow up

Redflag - Read the question- Read your response- You made an accusation and without proof. Mature adults don't do that. Well they do sometimes, but they don't (mature adults) compound it with further nonsense.
BETTER TO BE SILENT AND THOUGHT A FOOL, THAN TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT

He should spend less time preaching about the sins of other people, and spend more time focusing on his own faults and sins -- such as the sin of GLUTTONY. If his body is the temple of God, why isn't he a better witness for respecting God's property?
EDIT: HEY BOTTLES -- why don't YOU grow up? You aren't showing a terrific Christian attitude, which must make Satan very happy. And what is with you restricting who can and cannot answer your question? Since when do you own the category? You might like to remove your own plank from your eye IF you want to be an effective witness. BTW, I am not a believer because of hypocrites like you who are so unaccepting of others and their lifestyles, all the while doing whatever you want as you pretend to be saved by grace! Get over yourself. It sounds like you are a member of Landover Baptist Church - "where the worthwhile worship -- Unsaved NOT welcome!"
2nd EDIT: Don't bother pontificating. But since you're on the bandwagon, here are a couple of other things you might like to see -- with audio and video documentation.

I don't agree with his views on grace regarding the Jewish people, but other than that I don't really know much about him, except that I'm pretty skeptical of alot of high salaried, high profile TV evangelists.
Nothing wrong with getting the gospel out to the people, but greed can be a powerful thing and detrimental to alot of so called good men.

Just another Preacher with a T.V. platform, that very rarely reads from the Bible . OK maybe a few, then what happens to the rest of the 58 minutes of T.V. time?

I've tried to get into his sermons, but he's often very concerned with the end times, and Jesus told us not to make that our focus.
I don't really have an issue with him. He just seems to be overly concerned with certain issues and not others. I don't get that.

a little flawed in his teachings. believes Jews can not be saved and they are already destined for heaven as God's chosen ones. WRONG, Jesus said that unless a man be born again he will not see the kingdom of heaven. there is only 1 way to heaven, Jesus.

John Hagee believes that all Christians should be financially prosperous so long as they continue to walk in obedience to God's ordinances
Christians achieve prosperity through giving, asserts Hagee. "When you give to God, He controls your income. There's no such thing as a fixed income in the Kingdom of God. Your income is controlled by your giving."3 According to Hagee, Christians grow prosperous through giving because "God created a universe where it is impossible to receive without giving. Everything that God controls, gives. . . . Givers gain. You do not qualify for God's abundance until you give."
Turning to the Bible, however, one finds a number of passages that run contrary to Hagee's teachings concerning prosperity. Jesus Himself said, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. . . . But woe to you who are rich . . ." (Luke 6:20, 24 NASB). James underscores this point when he asked, ". . . did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?" (James 2:5). James later follows with stern words to the rich (5:1-6; cf. Mark 10:25).
Along with the prosperity message, Hagee accepts and promotes the doctrine of positive confession — a foundational teaching of the Faith movement which maintains that Christians can speak (i.e., positively confess) physical realities into existence as long as the believer exercises enough faith to accompany his or her verbal confession
Like his teachings on prosperity, Hagee's reiteration of the Faith movement's doctrine of positive confession runs contrary to the teachings of Scripture. Nothing confessed by believers in faith — verbally or otherwise — automatically comes to pass. Only God has the power to create as He wills (Gen. 1:1). Christians are certainly instructed to pray to God for their requests (Matt. 6:8-13; 21:22). Ultimately, however, all such requests are subject to God's sovereign will; whichever ones come to pass only do so as a direct result of God's will and not the will of the believer (1 John 5:14).7

I tried to listen to him but his strong accent kept me from actually hearing the word of God. I enjoy listening to Joel Osteen instead.
