If a preacher of the Gospel is riding around in a gold plated Cadillac, living in a house in Palm Springs half of the year and a town house in NYC the other half of the year, while begging for money on his television show, you are damn right I am going to out them. Because they are not preaching the Word of God or living up to what Jesus taught us to do.
Just because someone proclaims to be a Christian, does not make them one. It's not what comes out of the mouth that counts. It's the actions that we do. If we don't walk the walk, we have no place with Jesus. And those just talking the talk are some of the false prophets talked about. These are the ones that will lead many astray. And sitting back and doing nothing is not what we were told to do. We are to be pro-active and not stationary.
As for my life, I screw up everyday, if someone says they don't, then they lie. For only One was perfect, and we can try to walk the way He taught us, but We will screw it up time and again. Don't believe me? Ask Peter, he denied Jesus 3 times before the cock crowed twice.
Any more questions?
Abraham was a wealthy man and so were his sons. So was Job. Yet God said he was a righteous man. Do not judge another mans servant. Got it?
Anymore questions? Give them to GISMY. He's got this thread because God has got him.
Good day.

Ezekiel 13:3 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Woe to the foolish prophets who are following their own spirit and have seen nothing.
These are the ones I try to ferret out. I never said being wealthy was a sin. One can be very wealthy and still be righteous. Those who take money from the faithful and use it for their own pleasures with no intent of giving what the Lord has gave them back to the use that the Lord has set for them. Those are the false prophets. And if we sit back and let them deceive many, then we have failed in our job that Jesus assigned us.
Matthew 7:15 "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16"You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they?…
2 Chronicles 19:6 He said to the judges, "Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the LORD who is with you when you render judgment.
The Bible clearly states that we should not judge those in the church.
Romans 14:13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this-- not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother's way.
And I have not judged anyone in this thread or on these boards, with the exception of a woman I believe to be crazy, and that was more or less me begging her to get some help.
I pointed out that Jesus does not command us to know the time, for He cannot know the time. That is not passing judgement, that is setting the facts strait.
JESUS TELLS BELIEVERS THAT THEY ARE TO KNOW WHEN HE IS AT THE DOOR READY TO RETURN=The lesson of the Fig Tree
32"Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; 33so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. 34"Truly I say to you, this generation(THE GENERATION THAT SEES THE SIGNS=THAT GENERATION IS US) will not pass away until all these things take place.… matthew 24:32-34====

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
