Well they are prosperity preachers who do not preach the full or event he word of God. its easier for some people to digest. some of their flock like them because they preach a accept jesus and ull have a great ole life. It's rather sad. many of their flock is unsaved. Its mostly vbecause o their easy beliuevismm message.

Because people are lazy. We want someone else to tell us what's in the bible, because we're too lazy to read it for ourselves. True prophets would not be millionaires, and why people don't get that amazes me. These men are out to make money, and they're using the name of God to do it. I think there's a special place in hell for people who lead people astray in God's name for financial gain.

I agree. Benny Himm made a statement one time he is a fake and does this only because this is what they people want.

2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; (4) and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

They tell people what they want to hear. People want to be preached to and controlled so that they don't have to deal with life's difficult decisions. For them, personal freedom is not a bad trade for security.

Most people who are looking for something to give them peace are like sheep and will follow anything or anybody.

Because people desperately seek easy answers to life.
That's why anyone goes to any religion -- easy answers instead of facing the true complexity of life.

I have no clue, sir. Remember the old maxim "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"

They can induce guilt. That's the mainstay of all religion.
