Heh

The only one I (used to) listen to on a consistent basis was Joyce Meyer. I think she makes the bible very practical and she always preaches stuff she's been through so you can relate with it.

When I saw the title of the thread I thought they were in a lawsuit!!

I loke Joyce but she is too boring for me.

They all suck

Joyce Meyer. I first read her book, ''Knowing God Intimately'' and it had a tremendous impact on my life and spiritual growth. I just love the way she's so practical and gives examples from her own real life situations. I listen to the others as well and get Joel Osteen's daily devotional.

~!~I will check it out~!~

Baseless question. Are you coming here to ask a question you obviously know the answer to.
They are all too different to have any point of comparism. They all don't preach the same way or on the same platform or the same message (0f course good enough they all preach Christ)
T.D Jakes just like Joyce meyer, preaches about social problems. but unlike Meyer, Jakes is a Pastor, so he has some depth and diversity to his message.
Meyer on the other hand armed with her own story of childhood molestation, basically deals with the social aspects. How to love you, and see the best of God in you.
Joel osteen, well he is just Joel osteen. Soft spoken, funny, always preaching a positive sermon (some will accuse him of being too positive and less word based) but the size and testimony of the church says it all. (I hear Israel Houghton the guy that sang you are alpha and omega, and i am a friend of God, is a member of his church)
Creflo dollar, shouldn't even be on this list, if there ever should have been one. He preaches faith and prosperity without an apology.

so you see they are too different for you to be having a best

All of these guys are servants of God doing different things. There is no basis for comparison. A dog is created to be a dog and not a cat.

This is really interesting, I never knew that christians also do "Royal Rumble" and "King of the Ring" as they do in the WWE.

I love them all but TD is my man!
I could listen to him for hours on end.
I remember his old jingle on TV when he was in West Virginia followed by
Get Ready! Get Ready!! Get ready!!!
Love me some preachers with annointing

@Poster aka SeanT21 (f)

Lurve them all but hey here are two from my favourites "list"
- not in order of favourite

1) Myles Munro
- Author, Teacher, President and founder of the Bahamas Faith Ministries International (BFMI)
- Blessed with the gift of succinct teaching of the Kingdom of God etc with eye-opener revelatory explanations of the God idea.

2) Late Bishop J Sheen Fulton
- Renowned theologian, author and chalkboard teacher

3) Mensah Otabil
- Teacher, resident Pastor International Central Gospel Church Accra
- Teaches with injection of frank humour.

SeanT21, Life doesn’t necessarily have to be a "B1TCH"
Life with a capital L is the truth, way and Life,
life with a small "l" and without Jesus?. Yeah that’s a bummer and would be a B1TCH

John 1:4 says concerning JESUS

“In him was life; and the life was the light of men”

~~Thanks~~For Clarifying~~!!

All of them are wolves in sheep's clothing, leading the blind astray . . . seekers of pleasure, lovers of the world . . . they will recieve their due recompense.

TD Jakes started out good and he is one i respect to an extent.

Meyer and Osteen are nothing but nominal "christians" . . . the truth is not in them.

As for Creflo Dollar . . . his surname says it all really.

I do not understand people~~~What is wrong with pastors living lavish lifestyles?~~~They are reaping what they sow!!!~~BIG DEAL!!

SeanT21:

Relax dont blow a gasket yet. Your question i highlighted - now carefully read your bible for the answers are there.
How lavish was the lifestyle of Jesus Christ, Paul, Peter, Philip, James and John? Did the bible not say "heap not for yourselves treasures on earth"?

dont get me wrong, i do not advocate poverty for christians but pastors are supposed to be examples to the sheepfold. If a pastor has a thriving personal business that brings him wealth no problem but to live lavishly on the offerings of the flock?

Pastors are NOT reaping what they sow because they did not sow the church. Paul says he planteth (in the gospel), appolos watered (with the gospel) BUT Christ it is who giveth the increase. Read your bible right side up and stop being misled by thieves in cassocks.

Galatians 6:6 ("And let the one who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches"

[b]Solomon was a man of God and he was the wealthiest man on earth.A Pastor should live a lavish lifestyle as long as he does not love wealth more than his ministry.Most of these pastors do not live on money from the church.On Larry king Live,Joel Osteen said that they live on the sale from their books and donations from generous people.As long as these pastors are giving their money to organizations to help the poor and the needy,That is OK with me.These Pastors spend a lot of time studying the bible and going around the world to spread the gospel.If they reward themselves with Jets,Large Houses and splendid vacations,That is okay as long as they do not get indulge too much into the lifestyle.~~Joel Osten,Creflo Dollar,etc did not get into the ministry to get rich from it.God called them,They answer and he blessed them.Who are we to tell them to disown Gods Blessing?Your Job is to listen to the message they give you and not worry about how many cars they drive.Pastors can live according to their income as long as thier heart is in the right place.[/b]

1 Cor 1: 9 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?(KJV)

Those thieves have done a good job justifying their greed with the bible

SeanT21:

Galatians 6:6 ("And let the one who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches"

Have you sat down to consider what "good" things were communicated to Paul from the corinthians, ephesians, galatians, timothy, romans and the jews in jerusalem? If what Paul meant was that our pastors shld live in luxury for preaching the word then where was his golden chariot, houses of gold, money, private ship and coterie of servants?

SeanT21:

Solomon was a man of God and he was the wealthiest man on earth.

the solomon example is way off . . . solomon was first and foremost a king. What did David have beyond slings and stones before he became King? Was he only a man of God when he got to the throne?

SeanT21:

A Pastor should live a lavish lifestyle as long as he does not love wealth more than his ministry.

This is contrary to EVERYTHING the bible stands for. Read it.

SeanT21:

Most of these pastors do not live on money from the church. On Larry king Live,Joel Osteen said that they live on the sale from their books and donations from generous people.

Of course what did you expect him to say? Are those "books" not merely repackaged formats of his many sermons sold to the gullible and hero-worshippers?

SeanT21:

As long as these pastors are giving their money to organizations to help the poor and the needy,That is OK with me.

Judas Iscariot wanted to give money to the poor too . . . read what Christ's response to him was.

SeanT21:

These Pastors spend a lot of time studying the bible

Unbelievable! Imagine what wealth those who wrote that bible shld have commanded!

SeanT21:

and going around the world to spread the gospel.

They only go around wealthy cities that have already been reached with the gospel. Where are these ministers in the hinterlands of Nigeria? where are these ministers in the tough godless regions of China? Where have these ministers gone to spread the gospel to the bushmen of south africa?

So spreading the gospel only entails going to amphitheatres in London and NY?

John the Baptist spent time in the wilderness, Paul was shipwrecked and flogged so many times . . . our ministers today are feted and revered by kings of the earth.

SeanT21:

If they reward themselves with Jets, Large Houses and splendid vacations, That is okay as long as they do not get indulge too much into the lifestyle.

Here is Christ speaking on the these pharisaic gang of thieves . . .

Matthew 23
1Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,

2Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:

3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

4For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,

6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

SeanT21:

~~Joel Osten,Creflo Dollar,etc did not get into the ministry to get rich from it. God called them,They answer and he blessed them. Who are we to tell them to disown Gods Blessing?

they have decieved you into believing that what they have is "God's blessing". I'm sure the pharisees said the same.

SeanT21:

Your Job is to listen to the message they give you and not worry about how many cars they drive.

My job is to "search those things whether they be true" . . . just like the Berean christians.

SeanT21:

Pastors can live according to their income as long as thier heart is in the right place.

They live not according to their income but according to how much they can fleece from you.

SeanT21:

1 Cor 1: 9 If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?(KJV)

Mention two carnal things Paul reaped.

You have awesome points above but at the end of the day only God can be the judge of them.Only God knows their hearts.~~~The Points You made above have me re-thinking my stand on this issue~~!!

SeanT21:

thank you. As much as we shld leave these men in the hands of God to judge it is also important to be like the Berean christians who were not willing to take even the very words of Paul hook line and sinker but would rather search their scriptures for the truth. Its good to go to church and listen to a pastor but its even better to ask God personally for revelation of His word.

All of them are unique in their own ways but I love Joel osteen
