Is T.B.N. truly used of God or is it all made up of false prophets?

Question

I have a hard time drawing some kind of conclusion about the Trinity Broadcasting Network because some of it I see is so far off from the scriptures its terrible, yet there are some that appear to be genuine.That being the case is it really of God or not? I cannot seem to able to support it.

Answer 1

Even false prophets sometimes say good things. If all they ever said was obviously false no one would listen to them. If you listen to TBN long enough you will find that almost all of the preachers and teachers that appear on the network say things that are far off from the scriptures. D. James Kennedy is a notable exception and T. D. Jakes rarely says anything in serious error (though his views on the trinity are suspect). I am not anti-Charismatic (I believe in the perpetuity of the spiritual gifts) but I am anti-heresy.

Answer 2

You know a person by the company they keep!

TBN may have started out wanting to be for the Lord Jesus (I doubt)...

But Look at all the Nut cakes TBN has brought about and still endorse.

Look how they live (MONEY) and yes if any one asks I do use capital letters.

I never watch TBN due to the fact of some many False Prophets.

Answer 3

A fake god is any different than the authentic God Jehovah that's the writer of the universe and the only deserving of all compliment and worship. A fake prophet is somebody that comes forth preaching doctrines that have not have been given any foundation interior the truths based interior the Bible ( the trinity, hellfire, immortality of the soul...) and prophecies that are additionally not based interior the Bible. those deceive the hundreds and are in charge for thousands and thousands of deaths awful crimes interior the call of "god". those fake leaders are the followers of devil . Why do I say this? nicely , think of roughly it. Why could devil choose human beings to stick to faux Prophets and to stick to faux prophecies ? to lead the human beings far off from the authentic God, Jehovah. I propose, would not it make experience that to lead somebody far off from the fact you're able to easily tell them lies and deliver them liars to decieve them? So this is what devil has carried out over the years on the grounds that he first duped Adam and Eve interior the backyard of Eden. Lies worked for him then; they artwork for him now. Deception is his best device. That, and discouragement. and what's greater discouraging to human beings than to experience that they are being misled by the very human beings that they experience like they could desire to be waiting to have faith the main, the clergy?

Answer 4

Yea I feel the same way, although there are great Pastors like- Joyce Meyers, Creflow Dollar, John Hagie, and Joel Osteen. The praise the lord show on there i think is wrong, they are alway asking for money, I believe in tithes but I don't believe that they should be taking the money from the poor and the sick. the God I believe in isn't short of cash. I don't believe all of it is from God, their are wolves in sheeps clothing amoung them. I definately believe that. I guess you just have to watch what you watch, and be picky. There late night movies are great tho!

Answer 5

Modern day versions of Elmer Gantry and snake oil salesman. Why must they go and ask for money most of the time. Would like to know there income they collect in year.

Answer 6

Both are possible. God can take even our greed and selfishness and turn it into something good for someone else.

Answer 7

It's the fruit we are to judge not the gifts.

Answer 8

I don't watch it myself, but if it is bringing you so much doubt, there is probably a good reason for it...
