What part do you figure is the most important part ???
According the Word of God it is all important to go by, and teaching stuff like the Holy Spirit does not convict and we if we have faith enough will prosper and become rich is completely false.
Like I said I know people who have more faith and trust in the Lord then any of these so-called rich pastors !!!
Money does not make you a better preacher or commend you to God !!!

I would have to disagree with that, and I have enjoyed your posts that I have read.
I bet that if we could sit down together and talk about a particular sermon, just maybe you would see it in a different way. I have found that many misunderstand the Prosperity message. I can tell you that God does want to make you wealthy, but as long as your focus is only money, you will never see the blessings of God to prosper you financially. If that's the case, then money is your god, but you don't have to have any money to have money as a god. Some of the poorest people I know are the ones most consumed by the desire for money.

Yeah, my fat fingers got nothin' to do with my typos! "It's the website, changing my words." That's it.
Yeah, right. A simple HTML generator -- which is what this box is that we compose our posts in -- changes words. Mm-hmm.

Keep this thread of the OP on track and please stop using your sarcastic unedifying remarks to yourself instead of using every opportunity to try and belittle another when you have no proof to back up your remarks.
Like I said previously there was more then 10 of us a little while back that got together to report this issue of words sometimes changing after posting. It is not just a typo as I look at what I write before posting !!!

I am using a Dell laptop and this is the only site that this happens to me on, as other sites I have no problem with in posting.
Well sorry but it gets on my nerves when others want to take every opportunity to belittle and demean another when it is not called for. We are called to be loving, merciful, forgiving, and use edifying language !!!
All I did was tell another how my words on here after posting are sometimes different then what I typed, and a couple took this as an opportunity to pounce on me and be sarcastic toward me. I do not respect that style of behavior because it is not edifying.

I never said they did nothing good with the money, but remember what the word of God says.
It says in Titus 1:16 that if the other things they do are wrong then any good deeds they do do will be disqualified.
Therefore if they are teaching a false gospel message and other false teachings that do not align with the bible then doing those good deeds will amount to nothing as they will be disqualified for giving false doctrine.

[h=2]D.c. Talk – Wanna Be Loved Lyrics[/h]
We all want to be loved, yeah
We all want just a little respect
We all want to be loved
Tell me what's wrong with that
Oh, somebody tell me
A rainy Monday afternoon
There's a funk over the city
Everybody's movin' to a different tune
Some are weak and some are strong
And some are sittin' pretty
And then there's others who are barely hanging on
It's no easy situation
People living in their separate worlds
But one thing we got in common is
[Chorus]
We all want to be loved
We all want just a little respect
We all want to be loved
Tell me what's wrong with that
I've never heard a dying soul
Wish that he had taken
More time on his portfolio
I swear I've never heard a mama say
Should've never had that baby
As a doctor holds her newborn on display
It's the heavenly prescription
A little bit will go a long, long way
Just put yourself in their position, don't
[Chorus: x2]
Ahhh yeah, now this is what I call a party
Party people everywhere
Look to my left, there go my boys
Hold up fellows, hold up
Wait, hold up fellows
Faith and hope are worth a mention
But love is holding it's position
[Chorus]
Love is a thing that we all crave
Let's get it straight
We all want to be loved, yeah
We all want just a little respect
We all want to be loved
Tell me what's wrong with that
Oh, somebody tell me
A rainy Monday afternoon
There's a funk over the city
Everybody's movin' to a different tune
Some are weak and some are strong
And some are sittin' pretty

I LOVE IT!
I'd suggest you read Willie's post relative to the use of tablets or phones. And take the last line of his post for advice, huh?

First off WoundedWarrior wrote that post about the tablets and phones not Willie-T.
Second I do not need to lighten up when others are not using edifying language and just taking an opportunity to belittle another. If you are going to try and defend your improper behavior what else you do wrong do you try to defend ???
I have mentioned this in the past because it really makes no sense to me, as you say you are a behavior therapist but yet you show improper behavior some times on here toward others. That just makes me think how can one tell another how to properly act when they themselves don't follow that teaching???
I really do not like any Christian person to be put down. It is okay to take a sentence they have said and give a scriptural critique on that alone - but leave the person alone.
I don't care if they are billionaires or sitting on the curb. It is only the message that I look at, and I've seen some people's one little sentence blown waaaay out of proportion and taken out of context. Especially by the media.
For instance, I really do not know Joyce Meyers full teachings and might not even agree with them, but one thing I do know. She was raped by her father from a very young age until she was 15 or so. Her mother knew and did nothing out of fear. This woman gives a testimony of Christ's power to restore damaged souls. She helps many women who have carried this shame with them for years. God really uses her for this ministry.
No matter whose teachings you follow, there will always be something to glean from them if they are a Christian, and I truly believe she is. She acknowledges Christ as her savior and His blood redeeming work on the cross.

Look don't get me wrong as I don't mind people listening to them on TV as long as they realize what they say aligns with bible or not.
If you know and test what they say with the word of God so you know when they are correct and when they are not then that is good. But to sit back and think everything these people teach or do is proper is not correct, as I have seen some falsehoods taught by them and I have mentioned a few that they have said.
This goes with money as well because if they bring in say $80,000 that month but only give $5,000 to the needy that does not show the signs of a cheerful giver. It should be the other way around keep enough just to live on and give the majority to the needy.
I see to many empty buildings that could easily be turned into homeless shelters for these needy people, instead I see to many still under bridges, living in tents by the river, and starving. Then on top of that I see some churches who turn these people away from assistance just because another church helped them a little. Plain crazy !!!
Like for example talk to somebody who has needed assistance and have tried to go to the Salvation Army and Catholic charities both. You will find out that if they got help from the one the other will not help them !!!
