Watch this insane video with Creflo Dollar on tithing. Here are few things he says
This tithing rant by creflo dollar just makes me sick.
Here is a video i came across on the Museum of Idolatry at alittleleaven.com
This just infuriates me. I can’t fathom how God can withhold his anger from the prosperity pimps that make a profit in His name.
Yep, another one of those fleecing the flock moments. This Report from USA Today.
“A religious broadcaster is building a $4 million home in a gated, lakefront community in western South Carolina at the same time that the ministry has cut jobs and reset thermostats in its new headquarters.”
You gotta read this story people. This ministry is expected to reach revenue of 100 MILLION! Not only have Inspiration Networks laid off workers but they froze wages and canceled contributions to employee 401k’s.
“If they’ve got these kinds of assets, does the state really need to offer … tax breaks?” asked Don Weaver, president of the S.C. Association of Taxpayers.
That’s a good question Don Weaver. I am all for the tax exempt status to be withdrawn from non-profits.
CEO David Cerullo’s new house includes more than 9,000 heated square feet, along with a 2,000-square-foot screened porch . . . And it’s shaping up to be one of the priciest houses in western South Carolina. On Realtor.com, just two homes in the greater Greenville area are on the market for more than $4 million.
nuff said.
Kudos to Indiechurch for first posting this on his blog. Here is a compelling video of Jim Bakker, former TBN evangelist and fleecer, denouncing the prosperity gospel after spending 5 years in prison for embezzlement, extortion, and tax evasion. This video is a MUST see!
As a side note, there is a short introduction before Jim Bakker starts preaching, feel free to bypass the intro parts.
This is more in-depth video on ESPN’s inquire into Athletes and Evangelists yesterday. I don’t think i could write another commentary on this vomit again after my blog post yesterday. I need some time to cool off my blood pressure.
One thing i want to point out about Randy White response about the prosperity gospel. When the interviewer asked him, “you can look those folks in the eye, and say, ‘your money, if you donate it to this church is not being misused’”. This question comes about 3/4 of the way through the video. Watch Randy’s eyes as he looks up and away to the left (his right). I am not a psychologist, or an expert on telling if someone is lying, but the general rule is, that if someone looks up and away to his right, then they are more than likely trying to visually fabricating the truth in their head.
An article from Christianity Today shows the recent developments of the prosperity false gospel teachers. Click on the link to read the whole article.
• In Fort Worth, Texas, a review board ruled December 7 that Kenneth Copeland Ministries’ $3.6 million jet did not have tax-exempt status. The ruling came after the ministry, whose 1,500-acre campus includes a $6 million church-owned lakefront mansion, refused to release the salaries of Copeland, his wife, and others.
• In suburban Atlanta, Georgia, a sheriff’s deputy served an eviction notice November 14 at Bishop Thomas Weeks III’s Global Destiny Church. Court documents indicate the bishop, the ex-husband of televangelist Juanita Bynum, owed half a million dollars in back rent. The church has lost roughly half of its 3,400 members since Weeks and Bynum’s 2007 fight in a hotel parking lot, in which Weeks was accused of pushing, choking, and beating his then-wife.
• In Tampa, Florida, Without Walls International Church—which once attracted 23,000 worshipers—has shrunk drastically after co-pastors Randy and Paula White announced in 2007 they were divorcing. The church faces an uncertain future after the Evangelical Christian Credit Union began foreclosure proceedings November 4 and demanded repayment of a $12 million loan on the church’s property.
• In suburban Minneapolis on November 18, Living Word Christian Center pastor Mac Hammond won the first stage of a court battle with the Internal Revenue Service to keep his salary private. Yet in 2008, he was forced to put his private jet up for sale and cut Living Word’s hour-long television show in half to save money amid falling contributions.
Meanwhile, Copeland and the Whites are among six televangelists whose large organizations have been targeted in a Senate Finance Committee investigation into allegations of questionable spending and lax financial accountability. All six preach some form of the prosperity gospel.
What else can i add that i haven’t said already?
I don’t know much about John Piper, so i don’t know much of what he believes. But i’ve got to hand it to him here in this video. He says it straight up. He nails the prosperity false gospel on the head.
