TBN Numerology

Every time I turn on TBN and see one of these big name evangelist I can not help but think of numerology. I wonder if these guys studied the Kabbalah.

If you have ever watched and listened you know what I mean. "2007 is your year of harvest if you so an uncommon seed because 7 is God's number of completeness"

I am confronted over and over again a gospel message based on some special nuance of the number in a year or month or even an amount to be given and promises based on that. Or claiming God told this preacher to tell everyone to give 29,290 or 2,900 dollars based on a reading of Psalms 2:9 or something like that.

  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

This is usually when I see it the most too haha....I'd watch Donnie though and I hope Bishop Long does not get into that stuff. If they just preached a regular sermon on faith and believing I'd be more likely to give that what I usually hear out of them

Neither does flapping your gums. They pay their bills based on those that give. I bet more would be willing to give if they preached a message that makes people realize the value of TBN rather than conning them into thinking if they gave x amount based on a magical number they would become rich

Re: TBN Numerology

My response was very much sarcastic. I do not agree with their prosperity preaching and what they do to support the "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous"

Re: TBN Numerology

They turn such a humongous profit, that paying the bills should not even be a part of any serious conversation.

True...and if they really have the faith they claim why not empty their pockets of a few hundred thousand to pay the bills and expect God to reimburse them and they just preach a good message on faith
