ABOMINABLE Scripture Twisting on Trinity Broadcasting Network

[Gottle_of_Geer]

Hi brothers and sisters.
I don’t know if any of you ever watch anything on “TBN”, but I sometimes do, and for the past week and a half I have been watching with disgust and growing anger the outrageous scripture twisting and falsehoods that are being broadcast on that network concerning supposed financial windfalls for Christians who observe the old covenant “Day of Atonement” (September 21/22 this year).

Televangelist Paula White, for example, has repeatedly these past two weeks had as her guest a Pastor (with incredibly bad hair) named “Dr.” Steve Munsey. Pastor Munsey has been informing the millions of Christians who tune in to TBN that God is saying that he is ready to pour out a “double portion” of all sorts of material blessings (financial blessings, winning of lawsuits, scholarships for your college age kids) upon Christians who will observe the ((Old Covenant’s)) Day of Atonement and send in a Day of Atonement “Offering” (financial, of course) to Paula White or to TBN itself. It would seem that God will pour out money on you if you donate to the other televangelists also, but only Paula White’s ministry and TBN itself have been mentioned either by name or flashing-logo & address, so far.

Never mind that Saint Paul solemnly warned the Galatians NOT to observe the old covenant’s Days, Seasons, Months, and Years, no, that is not important. Munsey and White have discovered that God expects Christians to observe the old covenant Day of Atonement.

And WHOSE FAULT IS IT that this wondrous information has been HIDDEN from us Christians for 2000 years???
Well, according to Munsey, it is the spirit of antichrist that has blinded us to the Truth. Munsey (( with Paula oohing and aahing nearly the whole time he is talking, claiming that her
“speeyirt” (spirit) is exploding with revelation as Munsey talks ))
Munsey asserts, get this,
that EMPEROR CONSTANTINE, at the Council of Nicea
in 325 A.D., FOISTED the GREGORIAN Calendar on the Christian Church in order to hide all the Feast Days ((of the Jewish calendar)) that God wants Christians to observe.
With an assertion like that, it is obvious that I am extremely curious as to where Munsey could have obtained his doctorate.
Constantine foisted the GREGORIAN Calendar on the Church at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D.?? What libellous, slanderous nonsense.

I don’t know about “libellous” or “slanderous” - but ignorant ? Oh dear. Don’t pastors have to take any sort of examination to make sure that they have at least some acquaintance with Christian history, doctrine, Biblical exegesis, & that sort of thing ? Or can one go from (say) mucking out a barn, to preaching Hell-fire-&-brimstone sermons, all because one feels like doing so ?​

It is terrifying that US foreign policy is influenced by the ideas of Dispensationalist Premillenialism - DP is founded on half-baked Biblical exegesis. And this is the country that can blow half the world to smithereens.

**And this is the country that can blow half the world to smithereens. **

Agreed.
But so can Russia, China, Pakistan,
and soon, if they aren’t coaxed into backing off,
the “Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Yes, pastors do. However TBN isn’t a church. It provides air time for anybody with the money to pay for it.

Well, these days anybody with a few hundred bucks
can get “Ordained” to the “Ministry” over the Internet.

And as for “doctorates,” there are Degree Mills
coming out of the woodwork.

Sad.

Gottle,
Your question about these pastors and their qualifications.
It depends on their religious body. Some require college and seminary education, some do not. Some “churches” have been founded by people who were functionally illiterate, and some of these people and their followers have “grown up” to be televangelists.

 

[Jaypeeto4]

I’ve always wondered how
Ernest Angley got ordained to the ministry
and what educational qualifications he has or doesn’t have.
Even TBN won’t carry him, but he’s on tons of tv stations.
