Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

No man, that is except maybe Jim Bakker.......I don't even want to know how much of this junk he is selling. Sad......

Disgraced televangelist now selling food for the apocalypse

Remember Jim Bakker?The televangelist who served five years in a federal prison on fraud and conspiracy charges in the early 1990s is now selling End of the World Biscuits, Time of Trouble Beans and other survival gear for the end of days, The New York Daily News reports.
...Bakker hawks his wares on his self-titled The Jim Bakker Show, where instead of purchasing items, viewers can buy “Love Gifts” --as they’re called --by making “donations” at extremely marked-up prices.


Along with the Time of Trouble Beans, which consists of 14 totes full of black bean burger mix for $3,000 and End of the World Biscuits, food items include End of the World Gravy and Kevin’s Krazy Lasagna. Viewers can get an assortment of other survival gear including a Bakker's Dozen Extreme Canteen Kit that consists of 13 packs of ponchos, thermal blankets, glow stick and whistles for $500.
A Live Warm Suit Jacket is also available that claims to keep “you warm and comfortable” at temperatures of -30 Fahrenheit, at a “donation” of $250.
Bakker served five years of a 45-year sentence for stealing millions from his ministry, The Praise the Lord Club. He was also accused of raping Jessica Hahn, a church's secretary, in the 1980s. Bakker testified that had been set up, arguing that sex with Hahn was consensual.

Do the end of the world biscuits contain msg?

 

[posthuman]

"time of trouble beans"

... i'm wondering how much of a double entendré that is ..

 

[jdbear]

I'm going to wait until they offer the air conditioned dog house. Maybe they'll throw the biscuits in for free.

 

[4enlightment]

Well, they need to go out there and make a living. At least they aren't selling Holy water.

 

[crossnote]

A living? Maybe he should become a bakker!!

(drum roll...anyone??)

This came to mind while reading this....
Jesus said," He who seeks to save his life shall lose it, but he who is willing to lose his life shall save it.

Personally, I see Jesus's word on this as priceless, and Jesus paid the price for us, so it is a gift.
So no need to buy anything.

God bless

Jim Baker has never been anything but a fraud. Nothing has changed.

HAH don't forget...fraud (with a smile).....no doubt and I agree he is a fraud for sure....I seen a flier of his FOOD and it is like 3 times the price of a bag of beans at Sam's Club......maybe somebody could undercut his prices and put him under....What is crazy is the fact that people still flock to him for sure!

REFLOCK!! Now that would be a great study for a christian psychologist/sociologist to look into. ''Why do so many return to those who have been clearly proven as false prophets?''

Very simple, they play on the emotions of the gullible and the biblically ignorant and tell them what they want to hear. History shows us that people will empty their bank accounts for men like the Bakers, the Swaggarts, and the Roberts of the world and they always will.

I've not heard of Jim Baker?

What are your thoughts on Benny Hinn? I admit to being sceptical about him.

Well that part is most likely, but WHY do so many go back after being burned? It's like a girl who keeps returning to her boyfriend who keeps brutalizing her.

Thoughts? Benny Hinn has a hot spot reserved not in heaven for him.

I am sure I cannot answer that. Sometimes I think some people just have a psychological need to be victimized. It is not unlike an addicted problem gambler who has a subconscious desire to loose. This is a hard thing to overcome.
