They don't preach the cross of Christ. They teach "Give your money to us and God will give you tons of money back!" It's called the selfish gospel. What does anyone think? You can bash me, go ahead. But that's what I see.
Oh, and I won't even mention the guy that sells "Miracle Water".

To nine_tail - Jesus exposed imposters in His day and so should we. The apostle Paul said, "if anyone preaches a gospel other than the one we have preached to you, let him be accursed." They preach a false gospel, a selfish gospel that Jesus didn't preach in order to get money.

To all those telling me I shouldn't judge them, didn't you ever read that Jesus warned us to beware of wolves in sheeps clothing? Well, if what you say is true, then we shouldn't notice who the wolves are. And if we don't, then how can we obey that commandment? Read the new testament. In almost every letter the writer warns the reader of people that he knows that are false Christians.
Those people give us true Christians a bad name.

Peter Popoff!!! This guy claimed he could hear from god and used to shout out random members of the audience with illnesses and tell them their entire medical histories. Amazing right, miracle gift from god!
Until James Randi took an FM receiver to his service and heard his wife reading from the private prayer cards into his earpiece. Watch the video on youtube:

This guy went bankrupt, but is now back selling miracle water! If you buy some or have bought some, I believe you should be presented with an honourary "one born every minute" award as a free gift.

There are alot of atheists that simply go into
Yahoo Answers in this Relgion Section to
read questions and answers, and what do
they hear, "People of the SAME religion
condemning one another and judging
each other for minor differences, when Jesus
Himself said "Do Not Judge ANYONE, period"
Matthew 7:1-5 Amplified(read all those verses)!
And also atheists read/hear in Yahoo
answers so many people of DIFFERENT
Religions: many believing that they
Alone have the words of god written
in their holy books, and that they alone Know
the One true god, and yet ALL these people
are laughing at, harshly judging, negatively
critisizing, and even condemning the others
who do not share in these same beliefs,
in their god, or in their holy book.
JUDGE NOT, period.
Atheists see this, and do you think that this
treatment toward other human beings, is
going to bring Atheists to the point of giving
up Reason, Logic, and Self - Understaning
in their Philosophy & in Science, in order
to begin a life of Blind Faith ? "
A Strongly rooted Atheist is NOT drawn to
Hypocrisy. The Atheist also knows many
of the words of Jesus, especially where
He says, "Do NOT Judge any person !"Matt7
And with all this judging and condemning
people in other religions, and EVEN people
within your own religion, a strong estab-
lished Atheist will Never turn to a feardriven
belief in a god.
"Words to do your best to Humbly think
about !"

all of them are frauds to be user-friendly. the social accumulating of Jesus might correct be utilized here. Jesus scolded people who acted interior the way television evangelists. The Pharisees(the evangelists of Jesus time) and sorcerers might desire to accomplish such "miracles" and can desire to heal people using magic. None of this worked, and the same although applies in the trendy-day, those evangelists are advertising their "magic tricks" to make money for themselves. So all of them might correct be stated to be frauds.

Hi YummyGood,
The word of Gods says to "Touch Not My Anointed- Do My Prophets No Harm," If I was you I would really watch what I say about the men and women of God.
You could end upon cursing your on life behind bad mouthing one of Gods Prophets. Why do you even watch there show if its so bad, and I bet you can't tell any of us that you have not gotten anything out to there sermons.
If they are doing anything wrong they will have to give an account to God and not man, may God have mercy on them if they are deceiving people for there wrath will be worse then ours.
Stop Judging others.

I agree I love with you about the minister being about money. I love to watch people like TJ Jake's and Cleflo Dollar who have people run to the stage and dump money on the stage for a blessing. The sad thing is the money is not accounted for by the govt.

I am a christian and I know that most of these men are a crock.
Anyone who says "send me $100 and you'll receive $1000 in return" should be watched closely by the I.R.S.
By the way....if that system really works.....send me the $1000 in advance and we'll call it even.

Asking and pleading for money has always felt wrong to me. I understand that a person cannot stay on the air without donations but if God wanted that program on, He would move His people to donate with or without that pastor's constant plea for money.

If you are a Christian ask God for discernment to know the good from the bad. You are better off going to a local church anyway.

I agree, I don't listen, watch or support. I tithe at my church home and that's it. The bible says nothing of having to give "extra" to some Evangelical purpose.
