I’m answering the phone for Thanksgiving dinner at my Catholic Church. I would gladly have two adult meals delivered to his house.

God bless him.

[Salvation]

**”Why in God’s name would they want the congregants to deliver meals? It’s ludicrous.”**

And Christ, according to the Bible, fed 4000 and 5000 not counting the women and the children.

Why are people upset?

Lord have mercy on them. (We can’t judge.)

[Salvation]

Amen, Sandy

Don't forget the Farting Preacher

[Steelfish]

The Reformation broke the discipline of dogma allowing for a floodgate of innumerable sects Calvinists, neo-Calvinists, Baptists, Reformed Churches, Lutherans, Seventh-Day Adventists; Quakers, Pentecostalists, Methodists, and the Schullers and their clan are simply the latter day iterations of what went before them using the new media to build a following of gullible congregations.

I dunno... was he a televangelist?

I remember when they built this church. Senior fought the building codes to build a glass church in an earthquake prone area. Then he was on TV every week hustling money to build it, then to buy a huge organ, then more money for his Tower of Hope etc. His son was a goofy clod that always seemed to over act and punctuate his speech in strange ways when he filled in for his dad. It was obvious then the church would be in trouble when senior would retire.

I helped coordinate the meals at my church for several years, including a 6 month span where both parents were dying of cancer. It isn’t just about the FOOD, it is about visiting with them, loving them and having a relationship with them. Those who need meals also need contact with other members of His body. The body of Christ is about personal, connected relations. The body parts are connected with each other as much as they are connected to the head, which is Christ Jesus.

Not wanting people to come to them to bring them food is just yet another example of the Schuller’s shunning the body of Christ, and Christ Himself.

Sad. Just sad.

"And Christ, according to the Bible, fed 4000 and 5000 not counting the women and the children."

Bad analogy. Christ didn't solicit food and resources from people of modest means so he could give it to 5000 wealthy people asking that he deliver the food in limos - which is essentially what Schuller is doing here.

[Diapason]

“What would Christ do?”

Sell the limo, and feed all the poor in the Church, and probably also the poor not in the Church. The Schullers are not poor.

[Huskrrrr]

Would he heal Mrs Schuller?

And now it's going to be a Catholic Church.
Ironic.

“I would include Joel Osteen in your ‘puke’ list.”

No, Joel belongs to a whole new category: Puke Until You Strangle

are they upset over the begging for bread or the drivers?

were they specifying a menu or just asking for something to eat?

[almost done by half]

Dr. D. James Kennedy died a few years ago and they are still broadcasting his reruns to try and keep the cash flowing.

[longtermmemmory]

I second that “trolls in our midst” observation.

[EternalVigilance]

Or, perhaps, as times grow harder, people turn more and more back to their faith.

[Gamecock]

Upset?

Nah....

Befuddled?

Sure.

Considering he has enough to pay for a limo and driver I would think he could afford some food.

[guitarplayer1953]

Point being if they have confessed their sin and have repented of those sins then God has forgiven them and will not remember them at all.
