Used to see him on TV in Georgia all the time. Straight up Flim-Flam Huckster..
Haven’t seen him in recent years but I quit watching broadcast TV where this crap prevails. My only guess is his regular incoming tithes have nose-dived and he’s in a “really, I’ll take anything you can donate, even once....”
True. Word. But to whom?
Methinks not to a 501c3...
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pastor Creflo Dollar is worth a whopping $27 million as of July 2022.
Couple jets paid off ... couple homes paid off ... couple hundred million in the bank ... oh ... maybe I had tithing wrong.
The guy should change his name.
Creflo Nickel-and-Dime is available?
The fact that this huckster even exists is proof just how stupid many people are.
You ain’t going to buy your way into salvation or heaven or prosperity.
His broadcasts aren't sermons, they're infomercials: "God wants to bless you, but he won't do it until after you send in your $300.00 faith seed...."
From Liberal Wiki:
Dollar is known for controversial teachings regarding prosperity theology.[10] He has long been criticized for living a lavish lifestyle. He owns two Rolls-Royces, a private jet, and high-end real estate such as a million-dollar home in Atlanta, a $2.5 million home in Demarest, New Jersey, and a home in Manhattan that he bought for $2.5 million in 2006[10] (equivalent to $3.4 million in 2021) and sold for $3.75 million in 2012 (equivalent to $4.43 million in 2021).[15] Dollar has refused to disclose his salary. For declining to disclose any financial information to independent audit, Creflo Dollar Ministries received a grade of “F” (failing) for financial transparency by the organization Ministry Watch
“Tithing — giving 10% of one’s income to the Church —”
Tithing wasn’t on one’s income, but on his crops, herds, and flocks, for food to feed the Levitical priesthood, since the Levites had no tribal land. The gold miner didn’t tithe his gold, for example.
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse” was the storage area in the temple complex where the Levites’ food was stored.
“God wants to bless you, but he won’t do it until after you send in your $300.00 faith seed....”
Prosperity gospel doctrine is the only kind I know of where “bless you” can mean “take your money”.
They’ve turned Christianity into a multi-level marketing scam.
His broadcasts aren’t sermons, they’re infomercials: “God wants to bless you, but he won’t do it until after you send *ME* your $300.00 faith seed....”
God doesn’t need your money
God wants you to give your money
Robert Tilton is still my favorite TV Evangelist Superhero.
I got the whole action figure collection and limited edition lunchbox with thermos set.
And I see Jim Baker is still peddling his wares again as well.
Even so, He doesn’t want us preaching a false doctrine of tithing income to Christians, when He never did.
Hands down.
If God doesn’t need my money, then why the appeal for my money to get bibles in the hands of people located in counties hostile to Christianity? I’m told during those fund raisers that those bibles can’t make it there without my support.

The Robert Tilton farting preacher videos are classics.
