Pat Robertson Blasts Ken Ham's Young Earth Beliefs: "Let's Not Make a Joke of Ourselves."

Pat Robertson Blasts Ken Ham's Young Earth Beliefs: "Let's Not Make a Joke of Ourselves." - christiannews.net

Excerpt from this article:

"[Robertson said] "So, let’s be real, and let’s not make a joke of ourselves. I don’t believe in so-called evolution as it is currently presented as non-theistic. I believe that God started it all and He’s in charge of it. But the fact that you have the progressive evolution under His control, that doesn’t hurt my faith at all. But this thing [with young earth teachings], we just can’t be playing this.'  But when Ken Ham learned of Robertson’s comments, he posted his own thoughts on Facebook, stating that he found it sad that Robertson was leading his viewers to believe man’s lies over God’s word."

Here is an excerpt from another article, titled: Pat Robertson Repudiates the Gospel:

"This week on his television show Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson said a man would be morally justified to divorce his wife with Alzheimer's disease in order to marry another woman. The dementia-riddled wife is, Robertson said, "not there" anymore. This is more than an embarrassment. This is more than cruelty. This is a repudiation of the gospel of Jesus Christ....Pat Robertson's cruel marriage statement is no anomaly. He and his cohorts have given us for years a prosperity gospel with more in common with an Asherah pole than a cross. They have given us a politicized Christianity that uses churches to "mobilize" voters rather than to stand prophetically outside the power structures as a witness for the gospel."

Excerpt from this article:

 "An unexpected side effect of Mexico's rampant drug violence: more exorcisms. Seven years of brutal killings have created "an infestation of demons," says exorcist Father Francisco Bautista, who sees expelling the evil spirits as the solution."

What Would Jesus Do ... With Mexico's Faith Healers?

Mexico's Faith Healers - newser.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Dalton said that although faith healing attracts people of various backgrounds, it tends to be a deeply felt part of one's personal belief system. 'What others may think or believe really matters little. If you believe hard enough in something, well, maybe it’s true,' he said."

Pastor's Million Dollar Home

Check out this podcast by Pastor Trevor Hammack:

Pastor's Million Dollar Home

From Spurgeon's Sermon Notes:

"[Pastor Charles Spurgeon] ... made hundreds of thousands of dollars - and gave it all away. Redpath offered him one hundred thousand dollars for one hundred lectures in America. Spurgeon responded, 'No, I am a minister and have never lectured for money.'"

The Bible Says:

"Lay not up you treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust do corrupt, and where thieves do break through and steal. But lay up your treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not corrupt and where thieves do not break through and steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." - Matthew 6:19-21

and,

"A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; the prophets prophecy falsely and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so:  and what will ye do in the end thereof?" - Jeremiah 5:30,31
