The Faithless Preachers - Part Four

He's (Jim Bakker) in Branson Mo. and is back to teaching the same garbage that he renounced.

I started off with "good intentions" also. I was taught Word of Faith in a Baptist Church's Sunday school class. The pastor of the church knew exactly what was being taught in there.

I'm not laying blame but what would have been IF the pastor had demanded the teacher to stop? I can't know that now because he didn't demand anything but only told the teacher to "teach from his heart", which sounds really cool but isn't cool at all.

It lead me down a wide path of destruction. Please understand that I take full responsibility for what I listened to and believed in, but, darn, one would think that a Baptist church would be a safe place.

The Faithless Preacher - Part Three

I love her question about being "slain in the spirit" because it happened to me also and I've wondered, since learning of the errors of Word of Faith, what really happened to me. It was very real but I didn't hear anything.

I had people demand to know what God said to me and when I told them that He said nothing to me, then I was told that what happened wasn't real because God was supposed to talk to me or tell me something when I was "out" which made me feel inferior, somehow incomplete and incompetent. Which, looking back, was probably their main goal anyway.

Happy Easter

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
⁽¹⁾ Let me now remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you before. You welcomed it then, and you still stand firm in it. ⁽²⁾ It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you—unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place. ⁽³⁾ I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. (⁴⁾ He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said.

The Faithless Preacher - Part Two

The Faithless Preachers - Part One

I just watched this video. I wanted to share it, and the others in the series, because it's so easy to understand and easily explained, simple really. I wish that someone had taken the time to explain things to me in such an elementary way when I became so attracted to such things as Word of Faith.

The problem didn't lie in people wanting to tell me the "wrongness" of Word of Faith, but it was in their approach. Most of them, if not all, were completely aggressive and hostile. And just to be honest ~ THAT turned me off to them and on to the Word of Faith crowd that portrayed love toward me.

Anyway... Enjoy.
