" I have more problems with some of the ministries preaching faith-healing than I do with anything on Hallmark."
Hallmark has Hogan's Heroes every Saturday morning which is worth the price of admission IMO. Like Tony said I have more of a problem with what some ministries do than I do with the crap on regular TV. I use to be a Sky sub when it was on 119 a long time ago but since then I’ve learned this can be more dangerous than regular TV because I’ve learned a lot of what is on SKY is pure crap.
For example: I’m sick and tired of seeing a bunch of beggars asking you for your money and telling you to plant a seed when many they prey upon can’t afford it. Linking your soul or salvation to money donations is evil IMO when the goal should be to win souls.
Plant your seed (give them your money) to enrich you and for God to bless you is false doctrine IMO. I don’t know how many ministries I see stating that by giving them money God will bless you with more material things and is a disgrace IMO. IMO, if you feed these people and bless them then you won’t have to beg to get their support. I call them the Prosperity Cult.
I’m also sick of seeing these preachers quoting the Bible for a couple of verses then blab and blab for an hour with men speak when the Bible should be taught chapter by chapter verse by verse. You’re not learning God’s Word by this method. What are you learning when a preacher quotes a couple of passages then bores you to death with an hour speech about nothing that really matters? Back before we had the printed press and we could all own God’s Word they had Holidays and Sabbaths where they would get together and the elders would read God’s Word because at that time there was no other way. They taught it chapter by chapter and verse by verse. How often is this done in any church or major religion today?
Jos 8:34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
Jos 8:35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
When talking about his Word (laws and Commandments)
Deu 11:18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
Deu 11:19 And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Deu 11:20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
Deu 11:21 That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
You need to be teaching your children the ways of God instead of an electronic box which is your TV.
Then there is the preachers like John Hagee and others saying that Christ can come at any time. At any moment when the Bible states: Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Christ will not come until after the false christ and “after the tribulation of those days”.
Then there is the Rapture which is crap because Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. Dan 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Dan 7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Mat 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Rev 16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Rev 16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
Rev 16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Rev 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Rev 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
There will be no rapture and donating to these preachers will not make you wealthier and no Jesus will not come back at any moment now. The following applies to the modern day apostasy and the Rapture Cult:
Eze 13:19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
Eze 13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
Eze 13:21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Eze 13:22 Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
Eze 13:23 Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
I agree with Tony that there's a bigger problem with what some of the ministries teach than what's on Hallmark.
