Televangelists along with all the "legitimate" clergyman around the world owe their success to the gullibility of the ignorant, superstitious death fearing people, which includes the vast majority of humanity. These snake oil peddlers have exploited and capitalized on these "sheeples" paralyzing fear of death for thousands of years and there is no end in sight to this disgusting situation. Fortunately, in most localities, and with each succeeding generation, more and more young people are being educated and are casting off the the bondage of religion that had been forced upon them by their elders. Hopefully, in time, all the snake oil peddlers (clergymen) around the world will be seeking employment elsewhere as they begin to feel the financial drain resulting from their ever dwindling congregations.

You are gossiping serpents that never did anything for God but criticize other people. Get some fruit of your own, instead of devouring the fruitful.

@@samiryahya6491 Jesus

@@lisafoos8976 Can you please find the link to that interview for me. Thanks

so really they must actually be athiests in disguise y es

@@samiryahya6491 How ignorant though art. It is not that you are to be poor but that you are not given to (addicted to) filthy lucre (money) if you are a bishop (clergyman) according to scripture. That means not hoarding money which is the sin of covetousness which Paul said was the root of all evil. (I Timothy 6:10) Paul even gave a commandment in that same chapter to not covet wealth and to keep that instruction to the letter until the return of Christ. Try reading what Paul wrote to Pastor Timothy in I Timothy 6:5-21. Now just using common sense how can one love his neighbor as himself when he lives in a ten million dollar mansion and has multi millions heaped up to himself, while his neighbor defined by Christ as one in need goes without due to lack of food, clean water, war etc. It is apparent that one whom heaps multi millions up to himself puts his trust in the here and now and not the hereafter. Jesus said woe to the rich for they have received their consolation meaning they were comforted in and of the material world and likely will not be comforted afterward/no heaven. He also said beware of covetousness (wealth/money/material possession hoarding) for a man's life consist not in the abundance of his possessions. He said it was harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, but all things are possible with God meaning if you do as a rich man is suppose to do in Christ by being liberally charitable and not covetous/greedy as instructed by Paul in I Timothy 6:17-19 it is therein not your wealth that you trust in but it becomes evident that you trust in God doing what a wealthy convert is suppose to do in the Christian faith. Ten million dollar houses and heaped up millions are evidence that you do not trust in God but put your trust in uncertain riches (it is certain riches can not buy your way in). Now a question for you. Did you ever think about studying scripture instead of being indoctrinated by charlatans teaching the lie of giving Old Testament tithes and offerings in order to reap wealth? That is a get rich pyramid scheme not Christian doctrine. Paul said those who suppose or conjure up that godliness is gain or that you serve God for the purpose of material gain including giving have perverted the word to dispute the truth, are corrupt and destitute of the truth and to depart from them. Pastors like Olstein who preach the so called material prosperity doctrine have taken scriptures out of context to pervert the truth. Those who teach church tithing are apostates (teaching outside the teachings of the N.T. apostles). Not one scripture instructs the Christians to pay tithes and there is not one recording of the original churches receiving tithes. Tithing is giving according to religious/Mosaic law that Christ annulled, and not due to conviction of the heart through faith/free will offerings expecting nothing material in return but only expecting spiritual rewards such as increased faith and gifts of the Spirit with eternal life. The only material thing offered is that your needs not your greed would be met to all sufficiency. Paul makes it perfectly clear that food and clothing is all one needs in faith and if that is all you receive be content therein. Hebrews 7:5,16,18 and scriptures in between make it perfectly clear that tithing was an O.T. Levitical law designated only to the Levite priest which preceded Christianity and was annulled, as Jesus was not of the tribe of Levite and came not after (not doctrinal formed according to) a carnal (temporary) commandment (tithing) but of an everlasting life. When the number one obstacle of religion is to enrich the institutions and ministers as much as possible then religion becomes compromised and perverted. The perversion is made evident by the lifestyles of ministers who teach these lies for profit. Their greedy covetous lifestyles define their faith, which is anti Christ.

Lesley Smith Exactly

Ugh those are the most obviously greedy ones. They prey on these poor, desperate people!

Lesley Smith that's why people should not attend bigggg churches. ???
