Must be over mine...what are they?
First thing i though when looking at it was “Is that a drawing of a dude with a Bible flipping me the bird?”
Here’s a longer analysis of his ministry and then his problem areas:
http://www.equip.org/article/concerns-about-the-teachings-of-t-d-jakes/
Executive summary, yes, he appears to be a modalist, and more than that, a health and wealth teacher with the evangelistic skills of Billy Graham combined with the redemptive theology of Dr. Phil. It sounds as if for a long time he’s been downplaying sin and instead trying to help people overcome their victimization. So I’d guess he was ripe for this kind of “evolution” on gay relationships.
He’s also made the argument that Jesus was rich, so it’s OK for us to be rich. He thinks Jesus was rich because how else did the twelve disciples get by without working? Yikes.
Anyway, he’s not alone in his error. Too many successful people get caught up in the trappings of their worldly gains and lose sight of the plain old brown wrapper Gospel. Jesus warned of the spiritual dangers an unhealthy attachment to worldly goods. Not that success is bad. Just that we are weak.
Peace,

Not sure what you're referring to. The dollar signs?
Jakes is a Oneness Pentecostal --> modalist non-trinitarian. And a prosperity guy.
