Thats the thing. No one knows who this guy is outside of a few Christian circles. He has never led a denomination, or is a leader of Christian theology. He runs a TV station, and has a decent mind for business and has made some good investments. That doesn't make one a 'Christian leader' - I don't think he has any followers. That's the cool thing about God, I guess. As long as you get down on your knees and say you're really, really sorry, he always takes you back. Even if you reek of Satan sodomy. Have I been sacrigiligous enough in this thread? I like making smartass jokes, but I don't actually like offending deeply religious people. Please don't smite me! See, the issue with asking God for forgiveness correlates with the idea that you actually repent for what you've done - e.g. are sincere about getting out of bad things. If you don't do that, then your really not asking for forgiveness, and God isn't actually forgiving you - your just making an assumption. |
I dunno. The 700 club is practically a cult.
I remember when i was a young kid, sick from school i turned on the 700 club, flipping through the channels and heard him say
"Donate to us, and god will bless your lives. Even if your poor, god will surely bless you for your generosity and reward you."
Dude was trying to extort money from the poor. Ridiculious. The 700 club reminds me of scientology.
