Poor kemmer is posting with a reprobate mind.

Like seeing a piss stained bum passed out on the sidewalk...cross the street and avoid the stench.

It wasn't true. It was a h**eful, broad generalization.

I'm an American Christian and, in a way, I have to agree that the televangelists are AWFUL. Many of them (not all) have accumulated staggering wealth and beg for more money every time they're in front of a camera. The prosperity gospel many of them teach is NOT a legitimate Bible doctrine and I can easily understand how and why so many unbelievers are offended by it.
The actual Gospel (meaning good news) is simply that Christ died for our sins.
That's it. The Old Testament pointed to the coming Messiah and the New Testament chronicled his ministry, death and resurrection, followed by the book of Acts, which is the very early church history, then the Epistles that tell how Christians SHOULD behave, and at the end, there is John's Revelation of things to come.
Christians should be reading the Scriptures for themselves and be in a good Bible directed church. One's goal ought not be accumulation of wealth, but service to others. Yes, we need to work to make a living, just don't develop a lust for wealth. The Love of money is the root of all evil. Love God and love your neighbor.
I'm an American Christian and, in a way, I have to... (show quote)

There are Television Evangelists, the fire and brimstone types, who capitalize their message, and gain wealth;

then there are Evangelists who use the medium of television to Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

It makes perfect sense that they would use modern communication technology to do this, and it does cost money. Christian churches are not on a government welfare program nor do they receive government grants. Even your local church cannot sustain itself without passing the plate.

Many of these pastors are excellent, some of them are fluent in Biblical languages--Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek--and they deliver.

Spot on point. I have noticed in virtually all of Pete's topics and posts, he never misses a chance to disparage conservatives, Republicans, people of faith, the country and patriots. Is he the definition of a TROLL?
PeterS is the self-appointed judge of Christians, conservatives, and Americans who own semi-auto firearms. In his warped mind, everything we believe, say and do is immoral, reprehensible and logically fallacious. He never misses an opportunity to dredge up some anti-Christian or anti-gun meme.

Ask him about Jews or Muslims, see what sort of response you get.

Yeah, he is a TROLL

Those of us in the Get Off My Lawn Party do the same, Tom.
And I won't go protest, but I'm all for drug testing welfare recipients. I've been drug tested 7 times in the past 2 years in order to keep my job so I can pay taxes that help support them.

For the topic at hand, I would love to see Hulk Hogan fly off the top rope, and take Joel Osteen to the mat.

I somehow think that the Hulk would rather take Osteen's wife to the bedroom

We in Iceland value our relationship with the United States of America. It is a great nation with a history they should be proud of. Currently, however, they seem to off wh**ever medication their doctor prescribed for them. Iceland wishes to support our friend in need. In that spirit, we are sending teachers over there to educate and assist rural communities infected with ignorance and superstition. What we will not do is allow ourselves to be invaded by that ignorance and superstition which is propagated by televangelists.

How funny...

I woke up a few minutes ago. I hope all is well with you and your family. We're going bird watching today near Cape Kennedy . . . there's a huge sanctuary there and the roseatte spoonbills are nesting. They're a weird-looking bird. Personally, I really like the coots best. They're a small, black duck-like bird with a white beak and red eyes. They hang out in large family flocks and always look kike they're having a party! We see all manner of water birds there and some hawks and eagles and a lot of huge, fat alligators. I h**e to think about what they had to eat to get so big!

Speaking of birds. While I don't go out of my way to watch birds, I love the Barn Swallows that return to our farm every spring. They Swoop and dive, are so beautifully aerodynamic when in flight.

Does anyone remember the Doonesbury cartoon serious where this guy is an avid bird watcher, and the height of his desire is seeing this one special, rarely seen, elusive bird, and perhaps get a picture?

One day he gets word the bird has been spotted in a nearby meadow, he grabs his camera and excitedly rushes out to get the long desired picture.

In the next cartoon scene, it shows the camera set up on a tripod, the guy clutching his chest, knowing what's about to happen, he's imploring, "please not now" the next scene shows the camera still set up, and the elusive bird perched on the camera looking down into the tall grass. I chuckled the whole time I was writing this. Doonesbury has a way for depicting the ironies in life.
