Cashing In On Church: The Richest Mega Pastors In America

Cashing In On Church - The Richest Mega Pastors in AmericaMany people don’t believe that pastors can make much money. However, these pastors will show you that they can indeed make the big bucks!

It might be argued that the reason why ministers are more likely to make money today is because they utilize more money making opportunities such as writing books, producing movies and speaking engagements.

As a result, congregations quickly put their trust in their ministers, pastors or preachers who have become not only some of the most renowned spiritual mentors in the world but also some of the wealthiest. So just how much are some pastors really making?

Charles E Blake – Wealth: $1+ Million

    Charles E. Blake is a California bishop who earned $900,000 per year and lives in a 10,000 square feet Beverly Hills mansion. He earns his massive salary from the help of 20,000 weekly members to his church. While he lives the good life, his average parishioner earns just $27,907 while living in poverty in South Central Los Angeles.

William Franklin Graham III – Wealth: $1+ Million

    William Franklin Graham III is the son of the famous pastor Billy Graham, and the president of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse. In 2008 he came under fire after claiming total compensation of $1.2 million (from both the aid organization Samaritan’s Purse and Billy Graham Evangelistic Association), during a period of slowed economic growth. According to Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association board, $300,000 of that huge amount was actually deferred retirement money from the previous three years.

    In 2009, Graham announced that he would give up new contributions to his retirement plans and not take a further salary from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. His wealth, estimated in the millions, shows that a family dynasty can be created in the religious world.

Bill Moyers – Wealth: $20 Million

    Oklahoma native Bill Moyers started his career with a journalism internship with the United States Senate after completing a degree at the University of Texas. Senator Lyndon B. Johnson developed a liking for the young man and helped to secure work for Moyers as a TV editor. Moyers later hosted several television programs ,including many on PBS. Some estimates indicate that he earned more than $20 million in taxpayer money for his work on PBS, although he has never confirmed that amount. Moyers decided after several years to pursue his Master of Divinity, and in 1959 he was ordained a Baptist minister. He would later be appointed as the Associate Director of the Peace Corp and would service us the 13th White House Press Secretary under Johnson from 1965 to 1967. He has given a handful of sermons since his early years in politics, but now the 81-year-old journalist is best recognized as a pioneer in freedom of the press and public broadcasting.

Janice Crouch’s fortune at the time of her death was $50 million. Crouch’s son Matthew now has control over Trinity’s assets, which according to a recent tax return are now worth more than $1 billion.

Robert Charles Sproul – Wealth: $2 Million

    Dr. Robert Charles Sproul, a Pittsburgh born and raised pastor, is the founder and chairman of Ligonier Ministries. The church was established in 1970 and was started as a college and seminary for students. The faith-based organization was soon built into a nationally recognized program which hosts theological conferences with renowned speakers from around the world. Sproul founded the internationally broadcasted Sirius XM radio program “Renewing Your Mind.” Unlike his contemporaries, he avoided television and launched the Reformation Network (RefNet), an online radio station for reformed Christians, in 2012.

    RC Sproul wrote a blog post about how much pastors should earn. In it he says “Pay him well enough that he is able to give with great generosity.” One conservative estimate puts Sproul’s net worth at $2 million.

Richard Rossi – Wealth: $1+ Million

    Rossi was known as the rock and roll preacher after becoming a born-again Christian following a drug overdose. Rossi started playing his music on The 700 Club while working on his biblical studies degree at Liberty University. In 1984 he opened his first church — The Fellowship. In 1994 his wife Sherri was found nearly dead on the side of the road. Rossi was named as the top suspect. His trial ended with a hung jury, although the damage to his reputation had already been completed.

Jack Leo Van Impe – Wealth: $2.5 Million per year

    Jack Leo Van Impe graduated from the Detroit Bible Institute in 1952, and has earned the nickname “Walking Bible” for his ability to quote the scripture. Van Impe started his career as an evangelist on the Billy Graham Crusades. In 1954 he married Rexella Mae Shelton. Together, the newlyweds started Jack Van Impe Ministries. Rexella served as his co-host of the television series, “Jack Van Impe Presents.” Sixty years later, the TV series is still shown across North America. Reports have suggested that the Jack Van Impe Ministries International Foundation has a yearly revenue of about $2.5 million.

    In 2011, Van Impe ceased airing his program on Trinity Broadcasting Network after they refused to air an episode of his show. In the episode, Van Impe had expressed criticism of Christians who wish to incorporate Islamic practices into their organizations.

Ernie Fletcher – Wealth: $16.7 Million

    Ernie Fletcher has played a politician, a preacher, and a physician. The Kentucky native started his professional career with the United States Air Force, in the hopes of becoming an astronaut. After cuts to NASA’s budget and eyesight concerns, Fletcher earned a degree in medicine and opened a private practice.

    He started working as a lay Baptist minister in his community and became active in Kentucky politics. In 1999, Fletcher joined the United States House of Representatives, where he served until 2003. Fletcher was elected as state Governor in 2003, over state Attorney General Ben Chandler. He held that position until 2007, when accusations of impropriety surfaced.

    However, while Fletcher was in office, he was accused of unethical hiring practices that overshadowed his reelection bid. During his time in office, Fletcher also almost lost his medical license. He signed a death warrant for a man who had been convicted of a double murder and sentenced to death. The Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure investigated him for this, as the state’s laws state that doctors are ineligible to participate in executions in any way. The Board determined that Fletcher had acted as Governor and not as a physician when he issued the death warrant. Bowling died of cancer in prison before the execution could take place.

    Despite many years spent in the ministry, Fletcher amassed most of his rumored $3 million net worth with his work in politics. Congress members can earn as much as $223,500 a year from salary alone. YouBrite reports his net worth as high as $16.7 million, which is an unconfirmed amount.

Jimmy Swaggart – Wealth: $1.5 Million

    Swaggart is one of the most popular Louisiana pastors of all time. Ordained in the 1950s he would eventually launch his own AM radio network which only grew his thirst for an even larger audience. Eventually he turned his attention to TV, hosting an hour-long weekend telecast that was aired on more than 200 networks. He eventually lost the public favor in the late 1980s and early 1990s when he was faced both prostitution and sex scandals. He would eventually admit to his transgressions in his infamous “I have sinned” speech. He would regain some of his followers and go on to earn $1.5 million through his music, radio and television ministry.

Charles Stanley – Wealth: $1.5 Million

    Stanley started work as a minister in Virginia when he was just 14-years-old. Graduating from the University of Richmond and the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, he moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he became the pastor of First Baptist Church. In Atlanta he started The Chapel Hour TV program in 1972. In 1978 his program was syndicated across the country by the Christian Broadcasting Network. He eventually started In Touch Ministries, which led to a syndicated radio broadcast that took his message worldwide. His program In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley is translated across hundreds of radio and television networks in over 100 languages.

Clifton Duncan Davis – Wealth: $3 Million

    Davis is actually better known for his time as a songwriter, singer and actor. He wrote such famous hits as Never Can Say Goodbye and Lookin’ Through the Windows for the Jackson 5. Well before his first taste of fame, Davis pursued theological studies and earned his Master of Divinity from Andrews University. He was ordained in 1987. Over the past 25 years he has served as the co-founder and pastor of the Welcome Christian Center in Huntington Beach, California. He has made various guest appearances on the Trinity Broadcasting Network and has hosted the Gospel Super fest for the last eight years.

Kenneth Copeland – Wealth: $25 Million

    Best known for his messages about prosperity and abundance, it appears Copeland can reference quite a bit of firsthand experience. Before his conversion to Christianity he had commercial success as a recording artist, releasing 1957’s “Pledge of Love” which made it to #17 of the top 40 billboard hits of the year. Copeland has had a lifelong love for flying as well, which allowed him after conversion to become the personal pilot of Oral Roberts before starting his own ministry and owning his own private jet (admittedly paid for by church donations). Copeland and his family also reside in a $6.3 million estate, where television audiences are invited to sit around the table with the family on “Believers Voice of Victory”.

Creflo Dollar – Wealth: $39 Million

    With Dollar in his name, was there any doubt this pastor would appear on such a list? Known as one of the flashiest of American Ministers, he owns a Rolls Royce, multiple $2.5 million dollar estates and in recent years been given an F by the Ministry Watch for financial transparency. To make matters worse, Dollar was arrested in 2013 for allegedly attacking his own daughter but the charges were dropped after agreements to join anger management groups. He like quite a few of his comrades in this list preaches almost exclusively the “prosperity” gospel. While receiving a Bachelor’s in Science for Education from West Georgia College, it appears this pastor has yet to learn the intricacies of “Do unto Others”.

Benny Hinn – Wealth: 42 Million

    Benny Hinn is perhaps the most openly controversial of any American Televangelist. Publicly claiming a gospel that empowers “faith healing”, he has been investigated by the United States Senate for manipulation of tax status, and his Ministry has been flagged with a “Donor Alert” by Ministry Watch. Regardless of this shady financial situation he continues to have a solid fellowship in both Canada and the United States. Followers of his teachings believe that if they are prayed over, they can be healed of any malady. Among his many luxury possessions is a Gulfstream G4 jet.

  1. There are many who will say that these pastors shouldn’t be making this much money. Before you judge, keep in mind that the average yearly household salary in The Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa is $422, so they could be saying the same about you.

  2. Fred Ricco Young Jr.

    I must say for me this is a testament to Jesus as He spoke concerning the end time and truth. As I recall Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were neither mega rich nor did they sell the word of God for profit. Actually they divided the money they collected in a way that support the church, which is the children of God. In Matthew 28:16-20 – Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” This command or commission says nothing about selling the Word of God for the purpose of serving self. So I am appalled at these men who pretend to be preaching on behalf of truth, however indulging in self profit and greed by taking away from Gods children,” Money” in return for mansions, wealth, cars and power these are certainly not examples of how the patriarch conducted them selves. Are we Blind or do we just not understand that God is the focus not men. What I see is a reckless and misguided attempt to dilute the truth of who God is and what He Represent. God is not please with this misconception of His Word as it is being presented by these Mega Business men who impersonate the the important position of Preach hood.

    The Bible has a great deal to say about servant hood because the central theme of the Bible is the Servant of all—Jesus Christ. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). When we give Jesus Christ His rightful place as Lord of our lives, His lordship will be expressed in the way we serve others (Mark 9:35; 1 Peter 4:10; John 15:12-13). How can we demonstrate love for God? Our love for God will be expressed in our love for others. “For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake” (2 Corinthians 4:5).

    True leadership is servant hood, and the greatest leader of all time is Jesus Christ. Servant hood is an attitude exemplified by Christ “who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant” (Philippians 2:6-7). The five words in the New Testament translated “ministry” generally refer to servant hood or service given in love. Serving others is the very essence of ministry. All believers are called to ministry (Matthew 28:18-20), and, therefore, we are all called to be servants for the glory of God. Living is giving; all else is selfishness and boredom.

    It has been rightly stated, “Rank is given you to enable you to better serve those above and below you. It is not given for you to practice your idiosyncrasies” (General Bruce C. Clarke, USA, Ret). Let’s serve others by serving Christ (Colossians 3:23-24). God the Father has served us by sacrificing Christ on the cross for our sins, and we should serve others by giving the gospel and our lives to them (1 Thessalonians 1:5-6). Those who desire to be great in God’s kingdom must be the servant of all (Matthew 20:26).

    • “The pursuit of things robs me of investing more in the work of Christ.” – Jack Hyles

    • @Fred Ricco Young Jr., I appreciate most of what you said. People should be sharing about Yeshua(“Jesus” is a name steepled in pagan origins, the English translation for Yeshua’s name would be “Joshua,” you can confirm this yourself with a simple Google search).

      What I do not agree with however is any quotes from Pharisee Saul of Tarsus as he is the False Prophet (second beast) in Revelation. I don’t have much time to elaborate…..but SEEK for yourself and you will see this False Prophet was completely against Yeshua pre and post his so-called conversion and that he meets the “spirit of error” identified in 1 John 4:1-6 in spades. Not only that, but review Matthew 24:23-31, you will see that we are told not to anyone that claimed to have had a private meeting with Yeshua after His ascension, which is exactly what Pharisee Saul claimed. So he is not only the “false prophet” Yeshua identified who met a “false messiah,” but he is the “False Prophet” in Revelation….that boastful little bugger will get his one day in a nice roasty place in hell.

      But all these false prophets that call themselves evangelicals they will get theirs one day along with Satan, the beast (666) and Pharisee Saul of Tarsus (the False Prophet).

    • @Fred Ricco Young Jr,
      P.S:
      Here is a link if it did not get edited out of the Original Gospel of Matthew, that is put together from several different source materials to try to recreate the Hebrew version of Matthew that existed (what we currently have is the butchered Greek version): http://www.jesuswordsonly.com/images/stories/JWOBook/ogm2014.html

      Matthew 28:16-20 in the Christian Main text Bible(particularly verse 19 is a lie)

      Here is a copy from the link above of Matthew 28:17.2a-20.7 (OGM):
      (17.2a) The disciples then asked: “Are you the sacrifice that appeases God’s wrath for all time, or should sacrifices continue? And Jesus replied: “Unless you cease from sacrificing, the wrath shall not cease from you.” (17.2b) The disciples said to Jesus: “We know you will leave us. Who is going to then lead us?” Jesus said to them: “No matter where you reside, you are to go to James the Just, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being.” (17.3) And when the Lord had given his shroud to a servant of the priest he went to James and appeared to him. For James had sworn that he would not eat bread from that hour wherein he had drunk the cup of the Lord until he saw him rising from the dead…. Jesus said to James, “Bring a table and the bread.” And Jesus took up the bread and blessed God and broke it and afterwards gave it to James the Just and said to him, “My brother, eat your bread for the Son of Man is risen from them that sleep.” (18) And Jesus came to the disciples and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. (19) Go to them and make disciples of all nations in my name. (20.1) And guard and teach them to carry out forever all things whatever I commanded you. (20.2) Act as you have seen me act. Instruct people in accordance with instructions I have given you. And be for them what I have been for you. (20.3) And behold, I am with you until the consummation of the ages. ” (20.4) (Luke 24:50) When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. (20.5)(Luke 24:51) While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. (20.6)(Luke 24:52) Then they having bowed before him returned to Jerusalem with great joy. (20.7)(Luke 24:53) And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.

      Curiously 28.17a is missing because the pagan reason that “God” sacrificed is ONLY begotten Son to die as a pagan blood sacrifice and even Yeshua disciples wondering if He was that sacrifice, Yeshua did not say YES, I am the FINAL sacrifice, instead, He told them they need to STOP with the sacrificing. END of STORY. Yeshua’s Heavenly Father, said, “Thou shall not KILL.” The entity that told Abraham to sacrifice his son was not, the same entity as Yeshua’s Heavenly Father. Neither is the bloodlusty entity that has allegedly told the Israelites to KILL, KILL, KILL. There is no reason to KILL but SIN. This SIN is from the “spirit of error.” Abel animal sacrifice was also from the “spirit of error,” just as Cain killing of his brother was the “spirit of error.”

      Also, I do NOT doubt that the disciples/apostles might have indeed asked Yeshua in 17.2b about who will lead them, but I know for a fact that the answer ascribed to Yeshua is not true: “Jesus said to them: “No matter where you reside, you are to go to James the Just, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being.””
      So even though Yeshua did NOT say James the Just will lead them, heaven and earth did not come into being for this entity named James the Just unless there was something special about James the Just that no one knows about….did he have the spirit of Barbelo residing in him (if we are going by one of the gnostic texts out there) where Barbelo was the first “created” being so to speak?

      Now below are TWO major EDITS/LIES that has happened to the Greek text of Matthew in chapter 1 and chapter 3 so they might hide that Yeshua came in HUMAN flesh:
      #1:
      Matthew 1:16-25 (OGM): (16) Jacob begot Joseph. This Joseph begat Jesus who is called the Christ. (18) Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: (20) Behold, an angel of the Lord, Michael, to whom the Father commended this enterprise, appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Joseph, you son of David, Mary your wife (21) shall bear you a son. And you shall call his name Jesus for he shall save my people from their sins. (22) Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Yahweh through the prophet, saying, (23) Behold, a young woman shall be with child, and shall give birth to a son, And they shall call his name Emmanuel; that is God with us. (24) And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of Yahweh commanded him, and took to himself his wife. (25) And she bore him a first-born son, and he called his name Jesus.

      From the above you see the lie in Matthew 1:18 from Greek Matthew absent. Why waste time listing 42 descendants for Joseph to turn around and say, whoops, it doesn’t matter because Joseph ain’t the daddy anyway. I spoke to a random someone on 14 Sep 2018, and they thought that the genealogy listed was for Mary in Matthew 1. The different ways people go about tricking themselves to make a FALSE thing true is so pathetic.

      #2:
      Matthew 3:13.1-18 (OGM): (13.1) When the people had been baptized, Jesus also came to be baptized by John. (15b) And when Jesus was being baptized a great light flashed from the water, so that all who had gathered there were afraid. (14) Then John falling down before Jesus said, “I beseech you, Lord, baptize me!” (15a) But Jesus forbade John, saying: “Let it be so; for it is fitting that all things be fulfilled.” He thereby gave John permission to baptize himself. And then they immersed him. (16) And Jesus when he was baptized, went up immediately from the water, and the heavens were opened over him. The whole fount of the Spirit of God descended out of heaven in the shape of a dove and it ministered over him and entered him, and a voice from heaven said to Him: “My son, in all the prophets I was waiting for you, that you might come, and I might rest in you. For you are my rest; and you are my firstborn son who reigns forever.” (17) And behold, again a voice out of the heavens said: “Today I have begotten you. You my son, I bear witness of my joy that this day you have descended from me.” (18) And immediately a great light shone around the place, a fire flashed on the water and was kindled in the Jordan River. John, seeing it, said to Jesus, “Who are you, Lord?” And again a voice from heaven said to him, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. This Son of mine is loved by Me very much, and I am loving and delighting in Him. Oh how the glory of this child pleases me. Indeed, this is my beloved son in whom my spirit delights.”

      From the above, you see EXACTLY when Yeshua was begotten by His Heavenly Father after His water baptism. It wasn’t through the rape of a virgin Mary (because an ALL powerful creature stating I am going create a LOVE child with you does NOT have a choice in the matter, regardless of if she allegedly said, so let it be or some other bull response). Which is why Yeshua said to Nicodemus in John 3:3-8 (NIV):
      3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”

      4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

      5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d]

      Yeshua WAS born of the FLESH (human) from Joseph and Mary. Then He was BORN AGAIN by the water that John the Baptist dunked Him in, then the “Spirit of Truth” came down out of heaven like a dove unto Him and the MOST important part of when Yeshua was begotten in Matthew 3:17: ““Today I have begotten you. You my son, I bear witness of my joy that this day you have descended from me.”” was MIA from Greek main text.

      Do you SEE how EVIL this is?!?

      But Matthew 7:7-8.1 (OGM): (7) Ask from God, and it shall be given you. Keep seeking, and you shall find. Keep knocking, and it shall be opened to you. (8) For everyone that keeps asking shall receive; and he that keeps seeking will find; and to him that calls, it shall be opened. (8.1) He who seeks shall not cease until he finds, and finding he shall marvel, and having marveled he shall reach the kingdom, and having reached the kingdom he shall rest.

      If you do NOT SEEK, you will NEVER find. I am currently in the marveling phase, and occasionally experience the “rest” that is promised in the kingdom. Unfortunately, I am still a brand new babe, and the trappings of this world keep intruding upon this rest. But I do KNOW Yeshua was begotten by His Heavenly Father upon His baptism and that Yeshua’s Heavenly Father resided in Him.

      I had my water baptism at age 17 1/2 on 30 Jun 1996, but I didn’t have my “Spirit of Truth” baptism until 11 Feb 2018 at age 39. When I am attuned into the “Spirit of Truth” and practice LOVE as Yeshua did, I am at rest. The moment I waiver, that rest flee from me either for hours or a few days. I then renew focusing on being at peace as Yeshua brought it to me, regardless of the world trying to turn this peace upside down or try to tell me I am living in a deluded reality.

      I am working furiously to find a way to be able to share this truth that is being revealed to me to the world…and I know this will happen, but the world will REJECT it just as they did when Yeshua walked amongst us almost 2000 years ago.

      I hope whoever read this post will start SEEKing themselves.

  3. The only one of these I would trust is Charles Stanley but I seriously doubt any one of these churches would help an individual if they were in dire straits. I once asked Osteen online if their church ever helped anyone from church in need, the question was first ignored and then deleted. My understanding of the bible concerning tithes were to help support orphans and widows and the priests, etc. The reason these churches have so much money is because the only ones they help are themselves. Sadly, they do not have no interest in one’s soul, their only interest is in how fast and how full they can fill their pockets. They lie to the poor sheep telling them all they have to do is “buy” a ticket to heaven and the ignorant are only too willing to oblige them. Look at Mike Murdock, all he ever preaches is “plant a seed” just make sure you plant that seed in “his” garden.

    • @Sharon,
      Anyone under the banner of “Christianity,” does not know Yeshua (the pagan name ascribed to Him is “Jesus”). Followers of the Way that had Yeshua true teachings (from His true apostles), not the teachings of a false apostle/prophet from a false messiah that Pharisee Saul of Tarsus (that prefers to go by “Apostle” Paul) met. Do you ever wonder why he spent so much time in his epistles chastising the people he was writing about following a “gospel” other than he preaches? Well, here is a clue….go to Galatians 2, you will see him bragging about oppose Cephas (Peter) directly to his face and how Peter stands condemn. LOL!

      All you have to do is go to 1 John 4:1-6. “Spirit of error” (erroneously called “antichrist”) quality # 2 is OPPOSING Yeshua’s chosen apostles. “Spirit of error” quality # 1 is not being able to say Yeshua came in HUMAN flesh, see Pharisee epistles to the Romans (Romans 8:3, claimed Yeshua came in the “LIKENESS [imitation] of sinful human flesh”) meeting this criterion.

      There is plenty of places Pharisee Saul not only oppose the apostles of Yeshua which is by extension opposing Yeshua Himself, but he also opposes the “Spirit of Truth,” the ONLY sin that is unforgivable.

      And, we see where Yeshua warned us in Matthew 24:23-31 about many false messiahs and many false prophets and that we are not to believe them. Pharisee Saul met a false messiah on the road to Damascus (because Yeshua told us not to believe anyone that claimed they have met Him after His ascension, which Yeshua had already ascended to heaven by about 3 years by the time Pharisee Saul claimed to have met Yeshua) and thus became a false apostle/false prophet (and is in fact the False Prophet [second beast] in Revelation).

      No one that is in the religion of Christianity follows the Spirit of Truth, and are all following the spirit of error:
      1. Yeshua was NOT fathered by a made-up story in Matthew 1 about “Holy Spirit” impregnating his earthly mother but does have a human mother (Mary) and a human father (Joseph) and is thus HUMAN flesh. He was begotten by His Heavenly Father upon His water baptism (which the same people that made up the story about the virgin conception by Holy Spirit also took out of Matthew 3, the full baptism scene).

      2. Anyone that teaches anything contrary to what Yeshua teaches that has been documented by His chosen Apostles, is not only against the Apostles of Yeshua, but against Yeshua Himself, which is also against Yeshua’s Heavenly Father, and when they continue to believe the lies and practice falseness, they are then opposing the “Spirit of Truth.”

      So ALL Christians are against Yeshua and have not found that narrow path and small gate and will be told by Yeshua to depart from Him because he does NOT know them.

  4. Wow…lots of feeling out there about this…I don’t trust any of you.

  5. Is it really right to make money out of preaching the Gospel of Christ? Wonder how Jehovah views it? Rather like charging for healing and then saying………..Sorry Feller your faith is just not strong enough.
