Absolutely sickening

Bob Larson: fraud extraordinaire

You have to pay money to serve God and grant spiritual freedom, according to this page. . . I can't believe that I used to believe this man.

This reminds me more of a scam than of my faith. How can people do things like this?

I think even TBN has gotten tired of his stuff: they have moved him to 1:30 am on one day of the week. Keep in mind he used to be on around 7:00 or 8:00 PM at one time.

Also, his radio show has been canceled.

One more BL tidbit. . .

This "warning" on his site. Anytime I see this kind of thing, I indeed take it as a warning: a warning that there is probably something very dubious about the "ministry" in question.

 

SPECIAL NOTICE... In your effort to locate our web site, you may have encountered other sites devoted to attacking our ministry. Be aware that these sites contain misinformation, disinformation, twisted facts and outright lies. Many of these accusations are sinister distortions of reality and fabrications designed to look truthful. Our response is that of Nehemiah: "I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you (Nehemiah 6:3)?" To those who maliciously malign our efforts to reach the lost for Christ and see those in demonic bondage set free, we respond as our Savior commanded us. We "pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44).

Is this like the "spiritual" version of "Legalese for Scammers?"

And before anyone posts, I have not posted this out of personal spite over his beliefs, I have posted this because I feel, as many others who have read that site and posted here do, that this man is committing fraud.

IOW, I am calling Mr. Larson a fraud and this sickening because of his highly deceitful and fraudulent practices that are more reminiscent of "religion-for-profit" in paganism or Middle Ages superstition than in orthodox Christianity. His beliefs are another matter, and while I disagree with many of them, I would never denounce someone personally as a fraud over what they honestly believe.

I do wonder where all this money goes, and how many people are involved. . .

Or of paying $4,000 to begin His ministry. . . .

Also, I do not remember reading that Jesus ever charged money to tell people how to stay free of demons. . .instead He cast them out freely and they stayed out

Exodus 20:15: "You shall not steal."


Leviticus 19:13a: "Do not defraud your neighbor or rob him."

Psalm 36:3 "The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful;
he has ceased to be wise and to do good."

Proverbs 20:17: "Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man,
but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel."

Jeremiah 6:13 "From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;
prophets and priests alike,
all practice deceit."

Romans 2:21: "you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?"

Ephesians 4:28: "He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need."

1 Peter 4:15: "If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler."
