You guys need to know that each time a televangelists name is brought up, the thread will get evil, cause people want to say they're false teachers and all. That's what you have to learn.

Oh I see. You think you know it all, eh? Gotcha. I will PM you with my answers. I am not one of those people who endlessly post links. I know what I believe and I know who my Teacher is.
Envy, the oldest sin, committed by Lucifer himself, is the root of pretty much all sin, and its glaring root is right here in this very thread from the OP onward.
How is it evil to call out false teachers?
There isn't an iota of this about me. I would neither change an iota of my life and faith with an iota of any aspect of the obscene lives of conspicuous consumption of these charlatans. They have nothing I want or desire, would flee the notion of being in any of their shoes, the very idea horrific. I am very content, have all I need, and compare myself? I have no way of comparing myself with an exploitative merchandiser of the gospel, no frame of reference to such a degenerate mentality, with no fear of God, who would do what they do. This is about evil. This is about carnality. This is about false gospels, lies. This is about wolves in sheep's clothing. This about rebuke of that which brings dishonor to the Christian faith, the false gospels that will damn the gullible, about cosmic criminal behavior.
That's a very nice little dissertation to try to claim we should simply look the other way, somehow cease to discern wolves in the body of Christ, and shutup, in essence, but you don't seem to understand that I'm not an apologist for evil and evil doers, masquerading as the servants of God. If they were running a circus, you'd not hear a peep from me, but they're not. Apologies for these evil doers is your job, but I have my job, to. I see what I see, as others also do, just what and who are foolish. Maybe you can go make your own thread, in praise of Bentleys, Olympic size swimming pools, and lying gospels of Laodicea for Jesus or whatever? Fair enough?

It's evil to slander people with the label of false teacher when those who do the accusing have all manner of falseness and a heap of error themselves.
Jesus talks about that kind of judging as something we need to stay clear of. It's called hypocritical judgment. It's source is a bitter, self-seeking heart.
John 7:24 NKJV
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
John 7:24 NLT
Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.
it's not evil. But that's what people are going to do when the three main ones are mentioned. So, don't be mad this subject gets sensitive. If you don't like it, don't talk about it.
Just to be clear.You guys need to know that each time a televangelists name is brought up, the thread will get evil, cause people want to say they're false teachers and all. That's what you have to learn.
As ive shown with biblical references, they ARE false teachers. You have yet to back up your claims biblically
You've not done anything of the kind.
I can agree totally that the Word of God is truth! It's just that these WoF false teachers are not teaching it! They are adding to the revelation of the Bible. They are taking away by ignoring verses on suffering, and developing character through suffering. They are fleecing the flock, stealing from the poor, then contributing a tiny bit back and expecting people to think they are doing something good for God.
The sad truth is, the WoF teachers do not know the whole counsel of God. They don't know the original languages. They don't know hermeneutic, or Bible interpretation. They are liars, cons and cheats.
And the really sad thing is, they blaspheme the Holy Spirit by saying they are revealing or teaching under the "annointing" of the Spirit. And people are naive enough to believe them.
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1
Over and over the Bible warns us to beware of false teachers. It was a major issue for the early church, which is why the apostles wrote this over and over. In those days, most people did not have access to the Bible, maybe only part or fragments of certain books. But there is no excuse today. We not only have Bibles, but all the tools, commentaries and books to rightly discern the Word of God.
As long as you judge these conmen by the size of their congregations, and the amount of money being donated by people that probably cannot afford to give what they are giving, and not by the Word of God, you are going to be led astray. You justify over and over that the size of the congregations validates the WoF movement, instead of it standing up to scrutiny based on the Word of God.
I took a course in Seminary a few years ago. One woman was there for her first class. She testified that they had gotten sucked into the WoF movement and that when a certain preacher started guilting the crowd for money they felt "led" to donate $50,000, their entire savings. She admitted that the appeal was the preacher said this "seed money" would be returned 100 fold.
Well, they got nothing back in return, and they left the WoF churches and she and her husband were coming to a Baptist seminary to learn what God really says in his Word about money, health, etc. I admire her honesty in admitting what a terrible mistake they had made in believing the lies of the WoF false preacher.
I pray that one day, God will enlighten the minds of those who are so deeply caught in this idolatrous and false cult.
Don't forget Joyce Meyer's house, a 10,000-square-foot Cape Cod style estate home with a guest house and a garage that can be independently heated and cooled and can hold up to eight cars.

shows that Joyce Meyer is a false teacher

Nope. They perpetuate lies.
The whole prosperity gospel, as well as a host of charlatans of a watered down gospel, may as well have their charters written into scripture, also, as well as the results of these deceptions, nothing ambiguous here of "I'm okay, you're okay, name it and claim it." You wouldn't want to be in those shoes!
Revelation 3:16-18 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
What gospel is it, that turns people into spit? The ministers of it are in the OP, to whit,
Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
It's all there, prophesied ages ago, but it takes eyes to see these truths that are clear, in no uncertain terms. Just this whole ethic of conspicuous, carnal consumption is completely counter-Christian, of the world, the flesh and the devil. This is not the true church or the true ministers of the New Testament, with their con man pitches not found in scripture. People are simply deceived.
Absolutely. Ive been praying between posts for Nancy to see truth.We need to be in prayer for the lost that have been sucked into those demonic messes.
