Well, at least you seem to be a bit more reasonable than some of these “Joel Bashers” around here.

Everybody has “greed.” Who doesn’t? Why do Christians feel the need to judge their fellow Christians by whatever standards they themselves don’t keep?

“Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judges: for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same things” (Rom 2:1).

I find that those who condemn and attack other Christians and their ministries usually have not idea about who they are criticizing. For instance, I doubt these people even read his devotionals or listen to his sermons or watch/participate in the Lakewood Sunday morning worship services which are wonderful, glorious times of praise and glory to the Lord.

The Pharisees are alive and well and doing exactly what they have done for several millennia.

So do you think you are exempt from this when you call others'*pharisees*?

By calling everyone else who disagrees with you a pharisee, by the Scripture you post, you just condemned yourself.
