Something about having "feet of clay" springs to mind . . .

I don't want to be obvious, but there has been absolutely no proof yet that they did any of what has been said. It is easy to find other people to back up a good story if they are mad at you, too. If you have ever worked in a job with more than 4 people, you know that. How about waiting until there is actual proof of what they were supposed to have done?

I'm not fond of Oral Roberts, but I don't think anyone should be seen as guilty unless they've been convicted of a crime. The people accusing him look like they are really enjoying the finger-pointing.

You asked. As far as I am concerned, ANYONE who gets paid to serve the Lord cannot possibly be placing the Lord first. The money becomes their master. I think it is true every time, because they are doing what they do for the money - that's how they get paid. I do my job for the paycheck. In the process hopefully I can help someone out, but the main purpose is the money. If I really just wanted to help people, I would do volunteer work. The same thing goes for all of these televangelists.

Oral and Richard ROBERTS.... are BOTH..... PHONIES!
Or did you forget the Richard.... DIVORCED HIS FIRST WIFE..... for No Good Reason ! There was NO Adultery...!
She could not Put UP... with the Phoney-Ness ! HE Divorced HER!
(1Corinthians 7:11) But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband DIVORCE.... his wife.
AND.....
Need I go ON.... A Simple INVESTIGATION.... will Yield All YOU Want to KNOW!
(2Corinthians 11:13-14-15) For such ones are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
(2Co 11:14) Did not even Satan marvelously transform himself into an angel of light?
(2Co 11:15) Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.
Thanks for Asking ! RR
P.S. I am Born Again.... Please see my Blog / 360 !

i think of this is incredibly sparkling. the sea levels rose appreciably on the tip of the final ice age. In maximum places it wasn't all that speedy, yet in some it develop into. working example the evidence seems to tutor that the Black Sea develop right into a great sparkling water lake yet because of the fact the Mediterranean ultimately rose sufficient to break by way of the area around the Black Sea flooded particularly quickly. there is no accident that the Ark supposedly got here to relax on Mt. Ararat, the summit of this is barely approximately 2 hundred miles from the Black Sea. The becoming sea levels because of the melting glaciers in spite of the incontrovertible fact that could have been a international extensive adventure, this is why it somewhat is depicted in many historical myths from multiple cultures around the globe. maximum persons at present stay close to the coast, the comparable could have been actual in those days, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that much greater so. The memories approximately this "great flood" being brought about via "god" to punish the evil doers develop into merely fantasy and legend handed down via ignorant human beings attempting to describe what had occurred. i do no longer think of that Noah's account develop into exaggerated, because of the fact I doubt that "Noah" ever even existed. It develop into merely further to the memories that have been previous down verbally in all probability for many hundreds if no longer hundreds of years earlier ultimately being written down. this is incredibly unquestionably shown that the full planet develop into under no circumstances coated in water, and much greater unquestionably shown that there have been so a lot greater human beings in the international, unfold everywhere in the planet, than merely those depicted interior the Noah account 6,000 years in the past. all the flood myths in all probability did initiate loosely based in certainty. Verbal histories of a actual "flood" (brought about via the melting glaciers) that over the years merely grew to develop into very much exaggerated into being some ridiculous god inspired doomsday.

You must remember that people are people and their are others that steal. God says pray that we enter not into temptation. But also we should watch our participation in scandles. Because we all have something lerking in our closets. If not we but it may be our childen one day. Touch not God's anointed and do his prophets no harm. God knows it and he will deal with him. We may not all steal but our thoughts can get us in trouble. If you were a Christian you would say pray for this man of God! 1 Samuel 12:20-25.

Men in power often abuse that power... In this case the people abusing the power and embezzling happen to be christian it could just as easily have been a scandal involving any other group affiliation..
Greed and dishonesty cut across all religions, economic groups, cultures etc..

I think that it is hard for many Christians to think about something like this happening, but it will also be a time for non Christians to jump in with hate. I think that we should follow what the Bible says and not judge this matter our selves, We just don't know all of the facts and history has proved that we can't believe everything the media says.

I am waiting until we know all the facts before I have an opinion. It is true that too much money does corupt even good people. Let's wait and see before we hang them, however.

What do I say? I say all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (or maybe God said that). We are all human. We are all going to fail. If he did this it is not unforgivable. Yes it is wrong but he can make it right.
