Well then, I guess Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Jim Bakker et. al. labor in vain selling their snake oil religion, don't they?
HE's used talking donkeys before! ;^)
selling their snake oil religion?
One can't buy or sell salvation - it's a free gift. Focus should be on their need for a Savior and not on any person.
Sidenote: If a relative/friend had a billion $ for them; and, all they had to do is believe that they needed it and then accept it, do you believe they would 'allow' anyone (or claim to allow anyone) to stop them from receiving it?
