So many preachers on tv now days are so false and as christians we have to be able to detect false from real.

None. If they are "real" than they wouldn't being making money off the Lord. I mean take Benny Hinn he is by far false. I hate the fact that he goes and by houses every which way. I could go on and on, but afaid there maybe not enough room to do so

I agree with the FALSE list of: John Hagee, Joel Olsteen, and Benny Hinn. I would add a few more like: Kenneth Copeland, Robert Schuller.
I also agree unfortunately with the comment about TBN.
You have to be spiritually discerning these days. Like my pastor said once,"Just because you turn on the TV and see a cross doesn't mean they are teaching sound biblical doctrine."
Unfortunately there are people who claim to be Christian who are not. But hey, it was the same way in the early church. The apostles warned about people who were once part of their group who went out from among them teaching a DIFFERENT gospel and teaching lies.
The enemy is sneaky and wants to destroy the true gospel any way he can. Even the devil can transform himself into an angel of light according to the scriptures.
Our job as Christians is to compare everything to God's holy word. If it doesn't match then throw it out. It's like the ultimate Christian litmus test...hold it up to the scriptures.
It's sad that people are following these false prophets and sending them their money.
Jesus warns us again and again not to "be deceived". That's one reason why studying the bible is so important.
You have to study truth in order not to be fooled by imposters.
However, I think the holy spirit helps you to know who the imposters are.

One way to find out stuff that is filtered off the TV and not shown is to go on youtube.com and search under the name of the preacher you want to check out. It is not foolproof, but there is a lot of videos on Benny Hinn there and some on another guy who I don't remember the name, but it is under "farting preacher"...I personally think that when they have money to go on TV, have mansions, limos, jets, etc...then the whole deal IS more than a little suspect...Did Jesus live like that? NOOOOO
And by the way have you seen the TBN studios "mansion" and all the outrageous money spent on christmas lights and the electricity for that...what about starving kids??? TV money and the extras could feed beaucoup kids, but it doesn't go there, does it.???

I wouldn't be so quick to judge them as false if they just have a different theological view or are from a different denomination. False ones I'd be aware of are ones that promote or condone homosexuality, abortion, Big government, etc. But to judge t.v. preachers on personality or denominational belief differences is to judge incorrectly. Also, don't put much stock in most t.v. news shows like Dateline or 20/20. Many times reporters are just out to drum up a story on a minister or ministry and it's usually negative because negative sells and most preachers are conservative while most reporters are liberal. Reporters are experts on 'spinning' reality.

Billy Graham and his son are the only ones that are real. All the other ones are after people's money and want to show off.

The sad thing is that there are so many people that put these knuckleheads on pedestals and put Jesus and the Bible on the back burner.

They all are real, their bank accounts are not imaginary. They make people feel good and charge for it.
God moves in mysterious ways...

tv-preacher reality quotient is and always has been at the same level:
zero.
I will make a wager that it will stay there, too.
