I have thought that from the first time I saw him. He does not teach Biblical principles just like some others. I do not understand why people think he is so great.
Repentance, salvation, turning away from your sins, is the center piece of Christian doctrine his sermons are devoid of the basics of Christianity.
If he has decided he knows better than the apostles and the New Testament he speaks with a forked tongue and is a false prophet. I watched one of his sermons and heard nothing of the Gospel and salvation just a lot of tickling of the ear. He sounded like he is off on this feel-good pseudo-psychological road trip for the all important self as your own god. All is skittles, unicorns and sunshine, do what you want all is acceptable to his god, just keep that $$$ rolling in and he will personally forgive you of your sins or you can just do that yourself...
Because he is an excellent motivational speaker, as good as they come. Some people grow weary of the daily grind and get a lift by hearing that God gave us all gifts and talents we can use to make a good life.
A cheerful, uplifting message. Is it religion?
