"And yes, there is something wrong with being in the business of Christian evangelism for money. The Bible implicitly speaks against it."

They aren't all bad apples, but far too many televangelists are in it for the money and/or preach bad theology. This is terribly unfortunate, because for many of the unchurched, they are the face of Christianity, not only here, but around the world.

To cite one example a nephew of Benny Hinn wrote a book about him that was simply devastating - the greed, the fraud was everywhere in that ministry.

We agree. I was exposed to that kind of stuff in San Antonio, back in the 1980's, when the movement really got going. Fraud, deceit, bad theology, I'm glad I got out of it when I did. Unfortunately it kept it's hooks into my now ex-wife and she still clings to it.

This is the kind of church that the Lord will "spew out of his mouth."
