The way preachers enslave the minds of the masses is so shocking. I can't believe that functioning adults actually take the words of a few people who claim to be divinely inspired as the absolute, despite the obvious contradictions. These cunning people take advantage of the inability of their followers to account for the 'unexplainable', and fill in the gaps with LIES upon LIES. Its this same mental slavery that made them able to collect 10% of their followers' hard earned salary every month, but at the same time, all other passages in the 'old testament' that contradict their current lifestyle 'don't apply anymore'. Its a concept that still baffles me to an extent, and shows how powerful highly developed human intelligence can be harnessed as a tool to subdue the ignorant masses.

Here is a real life story I read on Quora this morning, which mirrors the same experiences in African churches of today:


In 1988, Televangelist Jimmy Swaggart admitted to cheating on his wife with a prostitute. He tearfully broke down on Television and claimed he had sinned because he visited a sex worker.



That should have been game over for his "ministry". He asked people to donate money to him for the work he did "for the Lord" and he preached about morality and the evils of things like rock and roll. And then he used some of the money people gave him to pay a prostitute.

So that should have been the end of him as a televangelist and he should never been able to beg for money on TV again with any kind of credibility.

But three years later he was still running a ministry and still getting people to donate money.

In 1991 he was caught with another prostitute, this time in his car. Rather than tearfully breaking down he said, and I quote, "The Lord told me it's flat none of your business."

And he just kept going. He keeps preaching about morality and people keep giving money to him.

Seriously people. If a guy gets caught cheating on his wife with prostitutes twice in three years, he's not someone worth listening to on issues of personal morality and you should NOT be giving him any of your money.

If only you have understanding, you will know what to say and when to say.

If you know nothing about Law and grace i am not sure you would make any sense from cherry-picking scriptures.

SAME TO YOU..... hypocrite. I HAVE FACTS EVEN FROM SCRIPTURE but what do you have.... emotional tantrum .... I PITY YOUR CHRISTIAN LIFE

Pidggin:


It seems you lack understanding, read your Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to explain

To the OP, the Bible says "Many will say but father, we performed many miracles in your name " and Jesus will say "I do not know you"

God is never mocked, whatever a man sows he will reap. God knows how to handle such things, I suggest you leave this matter for Him. The bible contains several clues to detect false preachers those who fall for this have themselves to blame. He says "By their fruits you shall know them "

The old testament is der to learn from,while the new testament is for our dispensation "gentiles" we are followers of Jesus . Christians wer called christians because they wer christlike in behavior.

Mat 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.



Hahn can u believe this?

The children of israel where meant to be the 1st partaker of the goodness of the gospel but they rejected it.

Jesus then commanded his disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

hahn:


Lol.

Do you realize that not everyone knows about Jesus, the story is not real by the way, but if it was real then does that mean that people who have not yet heard of him will go to hell?

adjoviomole:



If I answer this, u will probably bring up another question....anyways to those who have never heard about Jesus, their is a guardian in us wich is our conscience. No one can say they don't know what is right from what is wrong. So this people will be judged according to their works on earth be it good or bad.
