selling God's free gift is called Simony

Beware of Simony!

SIMON of Samaria was highly regarded in his community. He lived in the first century C.E., and people were so enthralled by his practice of magical arts that they would say of him: “This man is the Power of God, which can be called Great.”—Acts 8:9-11.

After Simon became a baptized Christian, however, he took note of a power much greater than what he formerly displayed. It was the power that was conferred upon Jesus’ apostles, enabling them to impart to others miraculous gifts of the holy spirit. Simon was so impressed that he offered the apostles money and requested: “Give me also this authority, that anyone upon whom I lay my hands may receive holy spirit.”—Acts 8:13-19.

The apostle Peter rebuked Simon, saying: “May your silver perish with you, because you thought through money to get possession of the free gift of God. You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not straight in the sight of God.”—Acts 8:20, 21.

Answer 3

It may come as a true surprise to both
you and may other people to discover
that the 'BET' cable network station
(just like that of the Latino-focused networks
-- such as 'Telemundo', 'Univision' etc.)
IS actually owned, operated and controlled
by a largely WHITE-OWNED company
(this ‘ownership’ includes the majority of
the stockholders and board of directors);
some of it's largest subscribers are
*non*-‘blacks’; and that a huge number
of 'black' people have openly protested
it's existence and programming for years
(largely due to it's offensive videos and it’s
perpetuation of racist-stereotypes, etc.).

Many years ago the network actually was
owned by an 'black' man -- (who was
said to have started it as an ‘educational’
network in order to educate and encourage
the ‘black’ youth to seek to better their lives)
– but once he died, it was taken over by a
White corporation which totally changed
its’ original goal and a great deal of it’s
programs (such as the ‘youth’ shows, etc.)

After that, it lost a large percentage of it's
'black' audience and it began pandering
to the racist stereotyping of ‘black’ people
(in an apparent attempt to boost ratings).

Since the majority of it’s viewers today
are *non*-'black' and since most people,
mistakenly assume and believe that
’BET’ it is a 'black'-owned network
(when, in reality, it – much like “rap” and
“hip-hop” -- IS actually WHITE-'OWNED')
outside of the 'black' protests against it –
very little seems to be being done openly
about changing it; and / or removing it
or any of the offensive programming on it.

Answer 4

People need to know that "Prayers" are
free...but some people are so desperate
for a positive answer, they think that paying
Money, will help them achieve this.

Answer 5

I have not seen that one but I do see preachers (so called) ask ppl to send in money for prayers.
Those ppl who do this are what the Bible calls, wolves in sheeps clothing.. We are to be aware of the false preachers who do these things.
Sadly, many people send their money in to these evil ppl posing as men/women of God...

Answer 6

I call these people all the time and tell them what they are doing is wrong and will someday be illegal. I can't get anyone to answer my questions they just hang up. Silly Christians.

Answer 7

Only satan would try to do that!

God Bless
