1 | What about so-called revelation knowledg | Bible general Archive 1 | BradK | 82101 | ||
Greetings Earnest, In the spirit of good will I'll allow that you're a "fan" of TBN. I can't doubt your sincerity or motive in that. We definitely have an appeal from the Apostle Paul in Phillipians 1:15-19 speaking to this very situation: "Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice." In my studied opinion, I believe the majority of TBN to be a bastion of theological error, promoting "pomp and circumstance" over substance. I don't say this lightly, either. I've watched Benny Hinn, Rod Parsley, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, Robert Tilton, and Jesse Duplantis to name a few. What they are systematically purveying is akin to "spiritual junk food" as opposed to a solid,balanced diet. While it may be tasty and filling, it is not ,in the long run healthy! Pauls warning in 2 Timothy 4:3-5 stands: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." Speaking the truth In Love, BradK |

Hi BradK, Thanks for speaking in love ;-) Is it really junkfood? I think the presentation can be entertaining. I don't subscribe to all persons on the Network in as much as you would not subscribe to everything that any of your respected peers would have to say. Maybe the problem is that on TBN the Christian life may appear to be a 'walk in the park', and the truth is that all growth comes through struggle and direct relationship with God. I think that would be the biggest problem. But if you are talking about results, ...fruit and works, I don't think you have anything on them. At least if you do, it would be good for public testimony to edify the brethren. Lots of people grouse about televangelists... but televangelism in and of itself is an excellent tool. If a particular individual is "off" then pray. If the preaching is generally not to your liking... then do something about it. Go on t.v. yourself, or get others on. Radio will never have the impact that the television has. |

Greetings Earnest! I have heard various TV preachers teach for years that God has a principle of seedtime and harvest. They would say that if I sent them 10 dollars, God would send me a 100 dollars. I have often wondered, if this is true, why don't they just send me 10 dollars! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, send me a ten dollar bill and I will send you a check for a hundred dollars written in disappearing ink on the bank of Afghanistan. Send it as many times as your seed-time-and-harvest budget will allow. :-) --Hank | ||||||

Earnest, out of sheer generosity, I'll extend the offer to you as well! Send me ten bucks every chance you get and I'll send you the same bogus hundred dollar check that I promised to send Tim. Just send it to me in care of the Lockman Foundation. I'm confident that they will forward at least half of it to me. :-) They are entitled to a small handling charge, you see. --Hank | ||||||

Alas! What I hear you saying to me is, "Don't quit your day job to go into the seedtime and harvest business!" Thanks. Good advice. You're probably right :-) --Hank | ||||||
