Pastor John Hagee Scandal - Heresy, Fraud, Adultery and Hate
"I just donÂ’t understand how heretics like John Hagee can gain such a huge following in the evangelical Christian worldÂ… I guess it just goes to show the type of people who are involved in such groups."
"John Hagee has publicly stated in a commercial peddling his newest book In Defense of Israel that “Jesus refused to be the Messiah” and that “there was a calvary conspiracy by Rome, the high priests and Herod to execute Jesus”. Wow, is this televangelist on drugs?
irosie>> gee sherri-----I find the comment interesting. I do not know John
Hagee----I do not pay attention to tele-evangelists---but I fail to see your
ADAMANT objection to his comment. Historically---the comment ---
"there was a conspiracy by rome, the high priests and herod to execute
Jesus does make sense based on what is known of the times and the
writings of the NEW TESTAMENT. As to "Jesus refused to be the messiah"--
well-----he certainly did not turn out to be the messiah as per the bibilical
prophecies that christian theologians often cite-----It is not clear to me
that it was a matter of "CHOICE" The actual words credibly
attributed to Jesus by people who ----according to the New Testamenti-- knew
him up close-----do not support anything like HIS OWN DECLARATION----
"I AM THE MESSIAH" (like the one described by Isaiah) John Hagee
is entitle to an educated opinion
My guess is yes and there will be another scandal like that of Ted Haggard. He claims that Catholics and the Roman Church are somehow responsible for millenia of anti-Semitism and the death of Jesus Christ.
Well----in fact----Constantine---first EMPEROR of the "holy" Roman empire---
(you can read that----catholic church) did come up with the laws your 'god'
ADOLF ABU ALI-----used to legalize genocide----in fact he came up with the laws
that the writers of the koran used to legalize genocide----they adopted them ---
something like the USA adopted english common law. For a lawyer you know
so little about the evolution of WESTERN LAW. For me----pre christian rome---
was -----baby 'holy roman empire". baby 'holy roman empire" crucified
tens of thousands of people------Jesus was one of them
Utterly ridiculous. Pastor John Hagee has also publicly stated to the 19,000 active members of his congregation and millions of television viewers that the United States of America MUST launch a pre-emptive strike on Iran immediately. John Hagee not only publicly states that he holds such beliefs, but he contradicts himself time and again in his personal life-
So? he sees Iran as an "enemy" or an "evil" in the world----he is
entitled to his opinion In fact Iran harbors a very destructive agenda
and supports terrorism-------you like that-----no accounting for tastes.
An interesting commonality in history
ADOLF HITLER "DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES"
NIKITA KRUSCHEV "WE WILL BURY YOU--YOUR CHILDREN
WILL GROW UP UNDER COMMUNISM"
ACHMAJINEDAD "ISLAM IS THE RELIGION FOR ALL THE WORLD
all three the same genocidal totalitarian crap
John Hagee had an adulterous affair and divorced his wife to unbiblically remarry a much younger woman from his own former congregation. What does John Hagee get in return for his heretical ministry? John Hagee has a $2.1 million dollar 7,969 acre ranch with not one, but FIVE lodges, a managers house, a gun locker, a smoke house, a skeet range and three barns. In the year 2001, John Hagee received $842,000 in salary and $414,485 in benefits making him one of the best paid men on earth in ANY field. For comparison, Billy Graham (probably the most well known living religious figure in America), took only $174,000 in compensation that year. I went into business to make money, but perhaps I shouldÂ’ve become a pastor!!!"
