Then why are there so many wealthy T.V. evangelists lliving like kings? They live in mansions, eat the best food, drive the nicest cars and basically live like there's no tomorrow. And the worst part about it is that they collect money from some of the poorest people in America. Yes, I know we're all personally accountable to God, but isn't this a bit absurd?

They show you that money is not the root of all evil.
Especially if you hand them over to the preacher.

Who said E=MC^2 also equates to morality is absurd? Yet no one holds the evolutionist's feet to the fire. Why the double standard?
Can you prove "They live in mansions, eat the best food, drive the nicest cars and basically live like there's no tomorrow" or are we suppose to blindly take your word for it?
Wouldn't it make more sense to say that those people who blindly follow others will follow the other blind into the ditch?

You can Make the Bible say AnyThing you Want to---without The Holy Spirit of Course!!!
See, The Holy Spirit (GOD Almighty!) will Only Back Up The Word of GOD (Jesus) with POWER!!!
The Power of GOD Almighty SEPERATES---"Error" from "Truth".
(When you lie about the Truth (whether on Purpose or Unknowingly, you get Error).
See?

Can you prove your claim that they collect money from some of the poorest people in America? Can you name these televangelists?

yes, its the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil, not money itself.
Those who are so called TV evangelists and live high on the hog are crooks and decievers who have fooled the fools, the simple minded who are too greedy themselves to understand who they are giving their money to.

Don't forget the Catholic Church probably one of the richest organizations known to man. And when they had the chance they pillaged and stole. Look up the inquisition some time.

It says the love of money is the root of MANY evils. Love of money refers to greed, specifically, but also includes a lot of others, like lust.

Yes, it's absurd...but they are more like celebrities than preachers. Those who support their church and their lifestyle know what they are giving to and apparently don't mind. So to each their own.
God knows the heart of each of us, and knows what to do.

Um..they are just fleecing the flocks...I don't think every preacher believes what they are preaching, not by a long shot. It is just another con game to them, to a very gullible audience.

Yup, they take that root of evil from you and they will take it upon their shoulders for them to live with. Money and the Benz they wanted for Christmas...
