Hello. The fact that they live a champagne and private jet lifestyle off the backs of the needy and vulnerable is a concern in my opinion. But it is the anti-Christian teachings that many of them express that reveals them as being outside the Kingdom.
As Peter said "May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!" (Acts 8:20)
I myself have heard televangelists linking God's blessing, God's healing to how much money people send in to their 'ministry'.
God Bless
I detest begging for money, the going off the air bit.
The infomercial about how much you get when you sow into their harvest.
What you may or may not know is that we agree, on many things.
Who does not dislike crooked snake oil salesmen?
Where we may differ is the people who make a ministry, against the obvious.
They obsess over saving their flock from people who can choose for themselves who to enjoy and who not to.
You do not need a constant drummer that is a liar.
Let me qualify :
When you broadcast misinformation about someone , you are lieing.
Pick your poison.
What most people should be concerned with is the lack of fact checking, in these gossip talks.
People put up the most outrageous Televangelist, then link them
to who ever they want to bash at that time.
The irony is the same critics ,are making bankroll themselves.
People love to hate and they love gossip.
Who among us does not exploit the poor?
Our clothes are made in sweat shops overseas, the people work mega hours to satisfy our vanity, even our shoes on our feet.
People who give to ministries obviously do not care how big the Preachers house is.
Consider that large givers are not broke themselves.
What was the point of Christ saying the widow who gave Her last mite, gave more than them all?
To deny or try to police what go's into ministry, is not our business it's God's Business.
I wish know it all oh so humble people would quit accusing what they know nothing about.
As Christians most of us give alms to the poor.
Do we put condition on what we give?
Some do, and it's not our calling to do so.
There are ministries who by satellite have brought the Gospel to untold millions.
Yet they are gathered just like criminals
and put in the same place. If a Preacher makes millions selling books, how is that different from our Jobs?
We could work in s Church office, do we work for free and beg on weekends?
In the time of Christ some had more than others, the poor we will always have.
Many roads take a person to welfare and not all are honorable.
I work because I can, some are disabled , God Bless and heal them.
Until then let them collect on the money they already paid into.
Some will never work and want a Socialist economy.
They are putting Faith in a failed system rather than God.
Since the beginning this world has run on a monatary system , one day God will Judge, soon I hope.
Agreed.
