die Seele in den Himmel springt!"

I am not sure how a minister can preach after divorcing her husband for stupid psycho-babble reasoning she gave. Paula is better suited for a day time talk show host.
You ever catch her on TV?
When she gets really spun up she has this annoying little wheeze as she gasps for breath with every 4-5 words out of her mouth.
"Sobald das Geld im Kasten klingt,
die Seele in den Himmel springt!"
I’ve never heard of Paula.
Yup.
Gamecock German-English Interlinear Translation of
“Sobald das Geld im Kasten klingt, die Seele in den Himmel springt!”
As fast [quickly] as money in the chest rings, the soul into the Heaven springs.
The indepentent audit appears to confirm that 81% of the unrestricted donations went to missions and soul winning outreaches.
I suppose it’s up to God as to whether that’s a high enough percentage, or not.
As to the Day of Attonement . . . not sure what to make of it. I think the article is a bit extreme.
I’m sure Paula is firm about Christ being our attonement.
Using the Jewish day to focus on the issue of attonement is not off the wall. Depends on how one construes it and what one makes of it in their hearts.
I realize that y’all are card carrying charter members of the
THROW BUCKETS OF ROCKS NOW
and ask questions later school of theology.
I do have some pretty convinced opinions about how God feels about THAT! LOL.
Sheer greed.
Who is Paula White?
I used to listen to her and her friend Jentzen Franklin, and both seemingly had very good sermons. But they can’t seem to show up on TV without trying their message into a money-making venture - I have NEVER seen them just give a good sermon, and sign off. They ALWAYS tie their message into some money making scheme. It’s like pleading for money is part of their very essence.
So as a result, I lost any respect I ever had for them, and any benefit I may have derived from their message. However, I DO like your idea about sending them a dead goat or something - that’s a very appropriate “donation” for them trying to dupe their viewers!
Who is Paula White?
Make your own judgment: Paula White Ministries.
Do they send you any Miracle Spring Water (TM) for your atonement donation?
I’m sure Paula is firm about Christ being our atonement.
I'm not. All I know about her is what I see on her web site. If she's got anything like a statement of faith, I'm not seeing it.
What I do see smells like Word Faith.
From the site:
"In life, you attract what you respect...
and this is true of money, too! If you don’t respect money, it won’t respect you. I believe you have to value money…because money is attracted to people who respect it.
...
Whether it happened through words spoken into or around your life as a child
...
Once again: what you don’t respect, you won’t attract. This applies to everything in life: money, anointing, your gifts, your relationships…or anything else that has value.
There's a whiff of Oprah-anity's The Secret, with it's Law of Attraction in that.
How about this:
Seed Time and Harvest - Principle #3: See It and Receive ItWhere there is no vision, the people perish... —Proverbs 29:18 (when will people stop abusing that passage?!!!!! --lnf)
Do you believe that God wants you to live in the abundance and the overflow of His goodness, His mercy, and His provision? King David declared that God takes pleasure in you prospering. God is not magnified when you are broke, busted, or disgusted.(Tell that to the apostle Paul. See what he says about that. --lnf)
She may not be as obnoxious as Bob Tilton, but I see plenty of cause for concern.
I realize that y’all are card carrying charter members of the THROW BUCKETS OF ROCKS NOW and ask questions later school of theology.
We love you too, Quix.
Of course you love me.
With loving words written on each rock.
I’m sure Paula is firm about Christ being our attonement.
Look at this (http://www.paulawhite.org/atonement/) and tell me if you still think that.
God has an appointment with you on this biblical holy day, the Day of Atonement, September 22nd.In the word "atonement," you can find the phrase, "at one." God wants you to be "at one" and reconciled to Him.
God's most holy day, the Day of Atonement, is your set time to see 7 specific blessings released in your life:
1. Double Portion (Joel 2:23)
2. Financial Promises (Joel 2:24)
3. Restoration (Joel 2:25)
4. Special Miracles (Joel 2:26)
5. A Divine Presence (Joel 2:27)
6. Blessings for Your Sons and Daughters (Joel 2:28)
7. Deliverance to Whoever Calls on His Name (Joel 2:32)The weeks and months leading up to the Day of Atonement are often filled with turmoil and confusion, but stand firm in your faith! The Day of Atonement blessings are promised for those who honor God.
On the Day of Atonement, no one appeared before God empty-handed: "Every man shall give as he is able ..." (Deuteronomy 16:17).
Don't miss your appointment with God on the Day of Atonement. Stand before the Lord with your very best atonement offering.
(you knew the pitch was coming, here it is: --lnf)
When you give $60 or more now, you will not only be honoring God by giving something sacrificially from your heart, but you will also receive Paula's special Day of Atonement resource package as you honor God on His holiest day with a willing heart.
And the sidebar says:
Give to receive these 4 spiritual tools:
• Paula White's 2-CD message set, "At One, At Last"
• Steve Munsey's powerful book, "Seven Blessings of the Atonement"
• Larry Huch's CD, "Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement"
• An ornate miniature Ark of the Covenant for home or office
Sin and it's costly solution? Old Covenant shadows pointing to the New Covenant reality? Christ our once for all time hilasterion? Not seein' it here. Not even seeing the name of Jesus here.
The more I look at it, the more I think maybe Frau White is not cool on the atonement thing.
On the Paula "Tetzel" White Atonement page, click the Give $60 or more now link.
The Day of Atonement is more that an ancient ritual. It is a scared covenant with God found in His Word that is ageless! The promises are the same for you today as they were then.(No they aren't! They had shadow, we have what the shadow pointed to. "The blood of bulls and goats can never take away sin. "--lnf) Experience all the blessings of your covenant with God! This package included the following:* At One, At Last 2CD - This powerful two-CD teaching will take you beyond the bordors (sic. misspelling in original. --lnf) of faith as you experience the power and blessings of living in covenant with Him
* Seven Blessings Book - Pastor, author and biblical scholar Dr. Steve Munsey has prepared a book that reveals the 7 incredible blessings found in the Day of Atonement. These blessing are a double portion,(stuff --lnf) financial promises,(more stuff. --lnf) restoration, (probably restoration of stuff, if the pattern continues. --lnf) special miracles,(because forgiveness of sins and rescue from the wrath to come isn't enough? --lnf) a divine presence, (to survive that, you need a mediator. Where can one be found? Hmmm. --lnf) blessings for sons and daughters (stuff for your kids. --lnf) and deliverance. (from the crook in the lot God has set in your life. --lnf)
* Yom Kippur CD - This teaching by my friend Larry Huch of DFW New Beginnings CHruch (sic -- misspelling in original. --lnf) in Irving, Texas, will give you a life-changing look at God's historical plan for your salvation (Salvation? First I've seen that mentioned. --lnf) and the restoration of your glorious heritage through His covenant of mercy on the Day of Atonement. God operates on patterns and principles. He never changes His mind.
* The Ark of the Covenant - This beautifully crafted ornate miniature Ark of the Covenant for your home or office is the perfect reminder of God's covenant with you for the forgiveness and blessings that He provides through Atonement. It is the symbol of your personal covenant with God.
And last but not least, a bit of blasphemous trash that will show up at a fine garage sale near you soon. Betcha anything, it's plastic and made in China.
I’ve seen her on WWRS, a religious channel carried on cable in some markets.
