TBN is just sticking their finger up in the air and measuring to see what the majority of compromising evangelicals want them to do. This compromise is all over.

I don't see it like that AT ALL. They are trying to reach Muslims around the globe. You don't do that by telling them they are evil and the religion they practice is evil, no more than you would try to get people into YOUR church by going out to the nearest street corner, and telling all who pass by how wicked they are.

"more than you would try to get people into YOUR church by going out to the nearest street corner, and telling all who pass by how wicked they are."

But that's what hellfire and damnation preaching was all about. Nowadays, converts are solicited by telling them how sweet Jesus is and how he can make them rich and successful. You've come a long way, Beelzebub.

TBN is a haunt to every false prophet and false teacher
out there today (e.g. Benny Hinn, Tommy Tenny, etc.). It
only makes sense that true Biblically inspired
programming would be booted off this network! Show me
one minister on this network that isn't trying to
shamelessly take money from everyone tuning it?!?

The way to reach muslims is to lovingly expose their
false religion for what it is; if you survive the
encounter!

I tend to agree with you on this one. How can they hope to touch the Muslim's life for Christ if they bash their religion. It doesn't work. I can understand why they're thinking this way.

I disagree. You DO tell ALL men they ARE evil and sinners and that they all DO fall very SHORT and are utterly LOST and BOUND toward HELL without the blood of Christ covering them. That IS the Gospel! That IS exactly what you tell all men. You tell them that all their RELIGION, Religions, vain pursuits, that they are all just that, empty, useless vain exercises in futility based again in their sin, evil and pride. They must abandon completely all their religions and place their complete trust in Christ alone to save them from hell, letting go of it all and holding on only to Him as their salvation. Men are evil and sinful. All religious pursuits and vain attempts to please God and be made right before His eyes are also evil, sinful and an offense to Him also.
