is western Christianity a business or religion? you have pastors like Peter Popoff, Jimmy Swaggart, Creflo A. Dollar and Benny Hinn who reap millions for themselves and have been exposed as frauds. Then you have the church accepting homosexuality to tap into the resources (money) in the gay community.
Now, when you think it cant even get worse they develop a video game for dollars about the anti-christ called 'left behind'!!
here is a link to the game

According to the Word, " the love of money is the root of all evil". I'm so glad you are watching their fruit. The Bible says, "you'll know them by the fruit they bare". We are suppose to be fruit inspectors. In Hebrews 5 you will find the fruits of the Spirit.
We must keep our eyes on each step we take, lest we fall. The Word says, "the blind will lead the blind and they all will fall in the ditch". So many think they can become conformed to the world's ways and they will make it. They're in for a rude awaking come Judgment Day. Jesus said they would ask Him if they hadn't done many things in His name and He will say, "depart from me ye workers of sin I never knew you". This is people that think they are Christians. See, they think they are doing good but their on their way to hell to burn with the devil. You will remain in my prayers.

Play my silly game for a sec.
Have you ever been deeply involved in some hobby or social thing and then read a magazine about it? Remember all the full page adds that were in the magazine? Were they not for the sub standard junk that most people that do whatever the magazine is about don't prefer? Why? Because they were trying to make money and not deliver a great product. The real companies and real people are so busy doing whatever it is the magazine is about that they do not take out full page adds. They let their actions speak for them.
You will not find Christianity on TBN or on a billboard. You will find Christianity when you meet Jesus personally.

BUT OF COURSE! THERE WILL ALWAYS BE COUNTERFEIT christains AS THE BIBLE SAYS.......!
(2Corinthians 11:13-14-15) For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
(2Co 11:14) Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?
(2Co 11:15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.
IS THE COUNTERFEIT = = what keeps YOU = = from coming to CHRIST = = FOR your FORGIVENESS?
Thanks, RR

Christianity is more than a business, It's faith in God but this is another sine how you atheists will keep nit picking and twisting things to try and prove there is no God. Get over it,If you don't want to believe that's your choice but Jesus died to give you that choice.

In my country most ministers live a very meagre existance. I don't like those who abuse the faith to make money however I thik if you did serious research you would find this is the minority.
