Satan is very good at religions and he’s invented many.

What shocks me is that the room was packed with other “pastors” cheering her on. They want her lifestyle and success.

Years ago I was listening to Christian radio in which an older pastor of a mega-church was scolding younger pastors for not ‘paying their dues’ and wanting to get a big church like his right away. He was as wicked as they - wolves dressed as lambs, vessels white and clean on the outside, but putrid within. Disgusting.

Many Pastors and churchgoers also have a reflexive reaction to anybody who criticizes anyone who calls themselves a ‘Christian’, especially one of power & prominence.

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence can see how corrupt and crooked many of these so-called ‘leaders’ are, yet they are supported because they hang the title of Christian around their necks.

They should be judged not just on their public works, but on how they live their lives as well. People can be fooled, but not God.

“Satan is very good at religions and he’s invented many.”

I think the realm of religion is his specialty. He has no need to concern himself with the drug dealers, the pornographers, the strip club owners. He’s got them in hand. Plus, no one is fooled by those folks. No one believes what they do is right.

It’s only in the realm of religion that he can con billions into believing soul-destroying lies. With his attractive lies he can distract a man for a lifetime, knowing his foot will slip in due time. One of the tricks that works in an affluent country like ours is twisting Scripture to guarantee health and wealth, your best life now, if only the mark, usually the less fortunate, has enough faith.

If the prosperity gospel is for real and these “ministers” are legitimate, why don’t they take it to the poor nations of Asia and Africa? Just think, if they could find enough people with sufficient faith to sow a $40/month seed, send in their “first fruits” offering, they could transform entire continents, all “for Jesus” of course.
