Bible Note: Dear Jesified, The list of preachers you have named are ALL outside the bounds of Orthodox/Historic Chistianity (with the exception of Billy Graham). While I don't expect that you'd concur with me, this is also not to question your integrity:-) When I "check everything against scripture" as we are admonished to do in Acts 17:11, I find the majority of these "teachers" to be severly lacking in sound Biblical preaching. Many of these "so-called" preachers are also outright heretics and even liars! Strong words maybe, but the evidence is there and well-documented, both in print on on the internet. In my humble opinion, TBN is largely a bastion of Pop-culture Christianity, based upon a man-centered theology. Christ IS NOT the focus, by and large of this group. Their theology is one of seeking God for what He can do for me, not seeking Him for who He IS! As to your contention that,"Also, I tend to stay away from ministers that are critical of other ministers", Paul himself named names! (2 Tim.2:17-18) Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |
