Anybody Familiar With Perry Stone??

I couple of years ago, I used to watch Perry Stone's television show "Manna-Fest".......

I believe that the man is sincere in what he is doing and honestly believes that he is doing the work of the Lord...

There were times, however, when I could not help but feel that some of his teachings and some of the things he said kind of put him on the "fringe," so to speak.

Here is a link to his official website for those of you who may not know who I am talking about........

Some of still may not know who I am talking about even after you visit the website and see a photo of Perry Stone......

I know I was terribly wrong for doing so, but sometimes I used to watch Perry just for the "laugh value" of some of the "out there" things he would talk about.

I finally stopped watching Perry Stone when he began to teach that if people started having their own personal, "at-home" communion every day it would somehow heal whatever physical ailments they were suffering from.

He even started offering viewers of his show a sort of "mini-communion kit" that they could obtain for a "love gift" of $150. It came with a little mini-decanter for the wine, two tiny shotglasses, and a little pouch to hold the bread.

I think he used to refer to the kit with the catchy name: "The Meal That Heals"......

Has anybody else here ever watched (or even ever heard of) Perry Stone??...............

I have listened to Perry Stone. I cannot say I agree with everything he teaches. The thing that made me leary of him was after every broadcast, he had something to sell. And also, he sometimes puts his foot in his mouth. But, he is a gifted speaker. He could be dangerous to the bruised reeds and smoldering wicks out there.

did he make you pay full price or did you get the good neighbor discount.....I never said he wasn't sincere, but If someone teaches something biblically incorrect what do you call them? "an incorrect teacher"?....thats why its important to make sure what you teach is exactly what the bible teaches, and plainly states, don't go beyond what is written was I think Apostle Pauls advice.

If you felt my post was speaking to you, I didn't mean it that way. I was just stating my general opinion of him. The "good neighbor discount" comment was very rude however. Also, I said I didn't agree with everything he says in my original post. I just respect him as a person. Also, if anyone has a problem with him selling stuff to fund his ministry, then maybe you should try building a massive television studio and traveling and evangelizing without any money. It's easy to snipe at people you don't know. Just know that even the angels don't dare judge someone.

Jude 1:9 (New American Standard Bible)
9But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"
