Most definitely. It is very obvious. It is not the fact that they do not bear fruit, because they do bear fruit. They bear "rotten fruit." They do not bear "good fruit."\n\n2 Corinthians 4:4 says that "the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers."\n\nThat is exactly what he does with these televangelists. He uses these ones to spread false doctrines. These men and women intermeddle with politics. A huge problem. The two are like beer and wine, they do not mix. Pat Robertson is supposedly a 'Conservative,' yet a religious leader and always seems to be in trouble for saying all the wrong words. If he was not in the middle of such politics, it would spare him some trouble. Now with Ted Haggard, another hypocrite. Preaches to his congregation about rejecting same-sex marriage, but yet he does not practice what he preaches. Faith without works is dead. You can have all the faith you want, but if you do not act in harmony in faith, then you are worse than a person without faith.\n\nJames 1:22-24 says, "However, become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning. [v23] For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, this one is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror. [v24] For he looks at himself, and off he goes and immediately forgets what sort of man he is."\n\nJames 1:26, 27 says, "If any man seems to himself to be a formal worshiper and yet does not bridle his tongue, but goes on deceiving his own heart, this man’s form of worship is futile. [v27] The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world."\n\nIsn't it something how scriptures that were written many many years ago can be so relevant to today? 2 Timothy 3:1-5 also mentioned how people will have a form of godly devotion, but proving false to its power. Such ones have a form of godly devotion, but not abide by Bible principles. How sad?\n\nSatan uses these people as pupeteers and guides them in the way that he chooses and expect more of these things in the future.

My friend, you have hit on something that God is doing in this hour.  Pray!  He's leading you to a conclusion that the mainstream church may not agree with, but which God is expressing at this time.  God has a plan for His Church, and it is not to finish it's course on earth in corruption.  :)\nIf you want any further discussion, always feel free to e-mail me.

I know about them and even belive some of them to be the truth such as the Gospel of thomas and the infancies of thomas, and most christians do belive in the Apocryphal Gospels without knowing it. The assemblies of God preach the when jesus died he went to hell and "set the captives free" which is not anywhere in the cannon in fact this is found in the apocryphal books.Also part of the reason they weren't cannonized is because they weren't found until after the cannon was set, as for the Gospel of thomas it wasn't accepted because the catholics didn't want people to belive that they didn't need to go to church to be christian because the love of money is the roo of all evil. Oh and P.S. LOVE the quotation marks, I belive that most people who claim to be christian are a bunch of fakers if they weren't they wouldn't be on here harrassing people and deliberatly trying to hurt others.

They try to twist the truth of God and say that Jesus was "just a prophet" like their little man.  They try to cover Gods truth with their lies of peace.  They want the world to be deceived by their little rock.  Jesus is much more than a Prophet, Jesus is The SON of God, The WORD that was with God in the beginning and The Living WORD.  satan may get a little toe hold in these last days and deceive the world with his false religion, but it is JESUS who will return at the last, the seventh trump to gather back together His own and the angels of God will gather those tares and bundle and burn them.  Jesus tells us not to be deceived and in these last days the deception will abound and is.

Yes, advertisers do it and I call it lying. Politicians often do it too.  Religious people do it,  but they don't know any better.  Understatement is closer to the truth.

I try to be as honest as I can but I would be a liar if I said that I dont lie.  The Bible says we all lie.

Hahhaha, I've never heard that, but it wouldn't surprise me.  Mormons ARE NOT Christians, and if they did do something as bizarre as that, that would just further cement the fact that they are some strange cult-ish following.

It is sad to hear about these people who manipulate their followers in such evil ways. It reminds me of Jim Jones, a preacher who fed 900 followers poisoned Kool Aid. They are not Christians. They are doing the work of the devil.

Might you believe it is because they are all heretics?\n\nCome to Jesus.

OT14 it is lying, the church has lied to you about this to.\n\nFor example,\nScientology says upon joining that it is compatible with all other faiths.  How is the story of xenu, and the line were hubbard says jesus is an implant compatible with Christianity?  It isn't this is a lie.\n\nHiding the truth, being economical with the truth, white lies, etc, whether you define them as lying or not you are deceiving people.\n\nUpon becoming a clear, hubbard said they would have perfect memories and never get ill.  This is a lie.\n\nHubbard said he writing for a penny a word is ridiculous, better to invent a religion and make millions.  This he didn't lie about.

Absolutely a cult. Just because people are considered stars doesn't mean they're considered well educated or intelligent. Consider the high profile people who tout scientology who are also getting publicity for jumping on sofa's on national television.  That don't impress me much!  It is unfortunate that so many otherwise logical people are so deceived. I believe that Jesus Christ is the only one who raised from the dead...I mean aren't all of the others dead...budda, confusious, etc...People need to get into the truth, not into what just "feels good"...Perception of the truth does not alter the truth...give Jesus a call...he's expecting you...

Its just a religeon like anything else i.e. catholic, mormon etc. From the apostolic people I knew, they believed in living strickly by the bible, (e.g. the women still wear veils on thier head as they look at it as a sin to show the top of they're head(I dont know why though)\n\nThey also run up and down the isle like mad men making waving the bible around like they're possesed with the holy ghost. It was as odd expirience to say the least.

Isnt it funny how the bible says that and yet the church is the biggest corporation in the world? They bring in billions of dollars every year.... they must be filled to the brim with evil.
