Choose what?

Can you tone down the drama a little bit.

Read the scriptures and find out for yourself.

Deuteronomy 28, 29, 30.

God lays out the curses and blessings, and then God asks YOU to choose.

Guess you still want to blame everything on God.

What is that supposed to mean?

You keep attacking me for some reason. You're being very immature.

First of all, Satan has been granted authority over the earth.

First of all, you are wrong. Adam gave over 'authority' to satan in the garden. JESUS (the 2nd Adam), 2000 years ago, reclaimed 'our authority'!

'Resist satan and he will flee'. Who has the authority? Believers have the authority and the ONLY authority satan can have it what you give him. Some believers ACT on that authority by faith and some believers live their life in defeat because they believe as you do.

What you interpret as 'drama' is really someone who is 'walking in the blessings of God'. It's called the "Good News" for a reason.

The blessings are already there but it's the ones who believe and ACT by faith on those promises that receive them. Don't tell a man who already done it, that he can't.

no screen name and Cyberant...making stuff up or repeating stuff Joel told you doesn’t make it true. And any preacher who claims to be Christian but doesn’t have a cross anywhere around for fear of offending someone and thus limiting his market area is not a Christian preacher. Nor is one who says you can get to Heaven without believing in Christ. And you can say anything you want but he does say that. And by the way, how close can you get to this guy? He’s no different from Jesse Jackson. If you’ve got the money, he’s got the time.

And then Joel spoketh, sounding a lot like the country singer Whisperin’ Bill Anderson, “We weren’t nothin’ but po’ folks. Then daddy left the Baptists and went out on his own so he wouldn’t have to pay any dues to the organization and because he knew I couldn’t be a preacher without attending and passing seminary, which he knew I couldn’t do. And, since I couldn’t make it anywhere else, I went to work in the studio ‘cause I figured workin’ one day a week was a pretty good gig. Then I found out how much God loved me when my daddy died and I annointed myself to take over and start chargin’ admission prices. Yea, those among you who are depressed and have a buck, touch my garment and you will feel good!”

One more time, any so called man of the cloth who takes a 12 million dollar advance is not of God, in my oppinion. And I can make it to Heaven just fine without this creep. And he is creepy.

“BLINKITY,BLINKITY,BLINKITY,BLINKITY,BLINKITY,BLINKITY,
BLINKITY, BLINKITY,BLINKITY,BLINKITY da’ da’ da’ dat’s all, folks!”

As I sayeth, go worship at the globe of Joel and Victoria. I’ll serve the Lord.

SHOW me where I made up ANYTHING. I can't repeat 'stuff' Joel told me because I DON'T WATCH HIM!! So much for your WEAK argument.

Your post is all over the place - and you didn't touch on what I posted to you. You were WRONG in saying....First of all, Satan has been granted authority over the earth.

You TOTALLY ignored your own lack of Truth - a truly BASIC TRUTH at that; yet, rant and rave on about some preacher and/or any poster who doesn't succumb to your 'poor' mentality.

I’ll serve the Lord.

You showed a mighty fine example of serving HIM - denouncing what He did at the Cross by saying satan has authority! Get to know the BASIC'S first before criticizing others.

I'll leave you with - I am BLESSED and Highly Favored. And ALL God's Promises to me are YES and AMEN!

2 Cor 1:20
For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Jesus died on the cross for mankind’s sins.

He died ONLY for our sins? Trying getting educated about EVERYTHING that Salvation includes.

Not to take the devil’s authority away. If that was the case everything would be hunky dory

What Bible do you read from? You are so clueless on the BASICS of Christianity! You should be embarrassed by your lack of knowledge - you don't even know that you don't know - yet, you tell others they are brainwashed!

“Beware of wolves in Sheep’s clothing” and “Many will come in my name”

Obviously, they got to you for YOU have been deceived on the BASICS of Christianity.

Waste your time worshipping at the cross of...the GLOBE of

Seems like you should be more concerned where YOU worship - at the altar of deception. You have demonstrated an unteachable spirit.

because they’re not perfect.

Yeah, and little do they understand that God hasn't had anyone "perfect" working for Him yet! Perfection is Jesus. And Jesus said 'only believe'.

‘Poverty Cult’

Good one! That's what satan wants them to believe. That's his gig - what is opposite of The Truth. Prosperity vs poverty; Good vs. evil; Life vs. death ...and the list goes on.

As the saying goes...."no cross, no Christ". A fitting metaphor for the Gospel according to Joel.

A decoration (or lack of it) doesn't make or break a church. My church in Raleigh, NC, is a very powerful, successful, and growing church, and their sanctuary doesn't have a cross either. Guess I've been involved with a cult this whole time...

Salvation is: safety, soundness, preservation, healing, deliverance and prosperity. Is that good enough for you ..??

But .. as usual .. when YOU don’t have a convincing argument against anything I said, all you can do is call me names.

Sorry .. but this conversation is over .. because YOU are too ignorant to carry on a discussion.

Good bye!
