This guy is mega FRAUD from a mega church. I can't understand how anyone can think he's legit.

There are 2 types of Pastors: Those looking out for the best interests of others and those looking out for the best interests of themselves.

Gotta blame someone right? Why not the Devil, perfect excuse for a pastor.

Evil can have great influence but that's it. I'd buy "the alcohol made me do it" sooner than this.
FancyMyTickle
This makes Christianity look like a joke. As a Christian this is the opposite of what Jesus and the Bible teaches.
beezzarro
Can someone tell me why no church ever denounces these frauds? Is it really just the crow calling the cauldron black?

The best part...if he actually read the book he claims to believe in..he would find out..the devil and the guilty party are one in the same?

There will always be people who want to be told the reason they're losers is because some evil is oppressing them. Works in politics too...

He works for the dude who prevented folks from using his "church" during the massive floods last year.

I find it funny how people use "the devil" to justify their impulses and attribute everything their conscience tells them to do with "god."
Cheeseweenie
Our church preaches that a lot - don't blame the devil for your own proper errors and mistakes. These people make decent Christians look bad

There's no such thing as a decent Christian.......just a decent person.

I'm sorry if a Pastor bought a Lambo period I would be pissed. If a church makes that much money they should be performing charitable deeds.
NoFather
Man it seems really easy to get rich off of people if you just lack any morals and think you're better than everyone else.

Isn't that how Scientology got started? Hubbard bet that organized religion was the easiest way to make money?

I love this excuse. The whole point of the devil is that he doesn't make you do anything. He let's you make your own dumb decisions.

What was that thing that Penn said? "Anyone who doesn't do bad things because they fear God is a piece of shit"? Something like that.

Why does the reason matter? Your morality is based off the same principal. Doing bad shit results in bad consequences. I'm gonna
Xalaqia
"Give $10 to charity or I'll burn you." Did you do something good? Nope, you act out of self-interest.
JacksRedDog
Literally everything we do is out of self interest.

Go so far as to say that all of our actions are selfish no matter what label you feel like putting on it.

If you want to see a fascinating show about hypocrisy watch 'Preachers of LA'. Its absurd.

Hmm thank you I will. I go to an "LA church" and am not a fan, but figured it was better than nothing

That is the exact opposite if what I said and you know it.

Agreed. Faith is a discussion but religion is a practice. The death of thinking is the beginning of weaponization.

Not very. This type of Christianity has Predestination as it's basis which basically removes all responsibility from the individual. /1

This is why it's so popular. Big rewards with low effort on the practitioner. /n
brannana
Promise of big rewards. The pastor is the only one who reads those rewards.
TiroDvD
I'm referring to the afterlife. Say "X" and do whatever for eternal rewards is a pretty good deal.

It’s a scam artist’s deal. “Send me a little money for the paperwork and I’ll give you $40 million later.” Jesus is a Nigerian prince.

Voltair
The Devil doesn't tempt anyone. He just manages Hell.

Technically I'm pretty sure he doesn't even do that, he's Prisoner #1, not a manager.
Voltair
Depends on the interpretation generally. I sure as Hell ain't using Dante's.

The most popular interpretation seems to be as a "get-out-of-my-shitty-behavior" card.

Course not, according to popular lore he sacrificed everything to give humanity the ability to choose freely. And then they blame him for it
