They preaching the Gospels, Jesus, etc, etc.. but are sinners themselves.
Adultery (Swaggart) thieves(Baker and many others, as an exemple.) and about the said-so miracles...hahaha...old guy on wheelchair, and abracadabra...he walks. (saw this zillion times on TV)

They're all basically crooks. Swaggart and Bakker just got caught in the act--just like that Haggarty guy who just got busted for gay sex and doing meth. And they don't have to be very brilliant either--just slightly smarter than the inbred idiots who give them money.

Many are the "False Prophets" of the Last Days. These mega-wealthy preachers; drawing their wealth from followers, will pay an extremely high price during eternity for what they have done.
A recent Prime-Time expose revealed how the most well-known names live in multi-million dollar mansions, have a dozen automobiles, custom $2000 suits, lavish jewelry, and even a helicopter in the front yard. How much do they take in and then actually give back to the hungry, homeless, sick, and poor, like Jesus would have had his Apostles do?
However....we should never let this type of behavior turn us away from God or Christ or the Church. We must remain strong in our faith and do what is right and ignore these False Teachers and follow the Real One.

Some are sociopaths, and some, the horny ones, just afflicted with poor control of their subconscious. Many are hypocrites. What about 700 Club? Overall, there are many folks who choose to believe, while some not. Some choose humanism because they need data to demonstrate a Higher Power exists. Some do have visions and hear voices, only the extreme in that case are classifiable as mentally ill......

My question would be this did God call these people or did money??? All sin and fall short of the Glory of God but my question is did the men repent and truly change or are they still living the way they were???? True repentance is a life change and if there is a change then they serve God and not the money. But money hung them up for a while.

There are countless verses in the Bible of deception in the last days. The Bible also mentions wolves is sheeps clothing.
Jesus warned "take heed do not be deceived".
Yet many christians are like sheep being led to the slaughter.
Yes, money is a big part of their agenda.

Very often this is so true. How sad. But then we shouldn't be looking at MAN to find GOD, right? We already know man has fallen.
God is found alone at night when we cry out to him alone. We don't need church, we don't need other people-we just need to seek God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength. He has promised that if we do this we will find him. And he is faithful and true to his promise.

Yes, they should quit that nonsense and convert to the left, so they can go to Washington, and get the real money and nookie, that way if they get caught they can just lie and not have to resign.
