  • Best Leo Daniels sermon: you got what you wanted but you lost what you had! I would love to see the video of that treasure being preached by this great man!

  • Rev Daniels was one of the greatest preachers that ever preached any where on this earth.

  • I have all except of few of his sermons, but I want to encourage everyone to please listen this man speak and proclaim the gospel of God. He witnessed a lot injustice in his time. I cant tell you how this man has blessed my house by playing his sermons over and over. He will encourage your heart.

  • My God this man was a preaching machine.

  • preach on rev speak well

  • CHECK OUT REV. O.C. JOHNSON. One of the baddest preachers Houston had to offer. Gone but not forgotten.

  • I heard he did of a heart attack. Edmond Patterson told me years ago that he literally preached himself to death.

  • @shebugjr I believe it

  • I don't care what you say......you CANNOT be a traditional gospel song or sermon!

  • SOULS CAN BE SAVED

  • Where did u get this video footage of his preaching? How can I get this video?

  • How did he die?

  • he's able that was very upliftingthe world need to be reminded of that today people are ready to give up instead of giving it to GOD

  • I have three sermon that I am trying to post on youtube it should be up and running in a couple of days. The three that I have is Down in the dumps with blues, You have to use it before you lose, and What in hell do you want. All three are powerful sermon.

  • i'm waiting patiently for all three...the one i'm really waiting for is what in hell do you want...thanx so much man

  • Comment removed

  • Did you ever get What in hell do you want posted? That was a powerful sermon.

  • We NEED MORE OF DR. DANIELS PREACHING ON YOU TUBE!!!

  • @revCL28 : Sure do.

  • I was baptized by The late W Leo Daniels. These were the good ole days. He was so animated!

  • This Preacher is great and he is keeping all the members focused on GOD word. Let him preach

    on and on.

  • if you love this sermon you will love down in the dump with the blues and what in hell do you want.

  • That's so true! I have these two recordings at home. It will blow your mind!! I also like, Say it loud, I'm Black and Proud!! No, not JB, W.Leo Daniels!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • one of the best ever!!!!!!!!!

  • The word is being brought forth.You have to be able to understand this kind of preaching in order to for your self that the word is being brought forth. You must also be able to how the Spirit of God works. Like I stated before,when the Holy Ghost comes you shall have POWER.

  • can i please get a copy of this sermon

  • This was POWERFUL Man of God. Many Preachers of today don't preach like this anymore.I love to hear a whooping preacher,but I do understand that not every preacher whoops. So many Preachers of today are so busy teaching the Word that they have forgotten how to preach the word with POWER and AUTHORITY.

  • Times have changed. Plain and simple. I happen to be one of those who doesn't need to hear all that whooping ahd hollering. Just teach the word and sit down. The hooping is just show and entertainment as far as I'm concerned.

  • Yes,times have changed,but there are still whooping preachers in the world. I do understandind that not every preacher whoops and not everyone likes a whooping preacher.Whooping is not a show nor is it an art or entertainment,but it is about the true power of the Holy Spirit.

  • I hear what you're saying. Historically, there has been times when the charisma has replaced true scholarship and study. However, it is not fair to dismiss the black preaching experience as simply entertainment and non-substantive. I admit that whooping is more emotion than intellect. However, it is a eurocentric thought paradigm that places intellect over emotion. one is not more important than the other. God is a holistic God that ministers through heart and head

  • Amen!

  • well said

  • Very well said!!! AMEN!!!

  • @ceddyruck amen!!

  • They MUST teach the WORD. For they dont want to be in hell and have the congreants beating on them and chasing them around because he never instilled the WORD in them. Come on now... it is THE WORD!

  • Some teach,some preach and some do both,but even in teaching the spirit will come.Wether it be teach or preaching,if you're not doing it in such a way that invites the spirit of God to come in and have His way then something is wrong. The spirit gives you POWER,wether you preach or teach. The spirit gives utterance and you can't teach or preach without it. You must understand that not every preacher will whoop when the spirirt comes,but you still must invite Him to come.

  • what year is this? i have what in hell do you want on record. that sermon is very moving

  • i have that also.. and i have "let's make a deal" and "put down your whiskey bottle".great man of GOD!!

  • I grew up on all of those sermons. My dad use to make me do those sermons in front of his preacher friends. They got a big kick out of that...lol

  • Check out "J R Moss"

    (He's a young blood for the Gospel...and Leo Daniels is one of his greatest inspirations)

  • OMG!!!!! Daniels died sometime ago, but he married my mother's cousin. I wish someone would post some songs that he had. He had a wonderful voice!!!

  • I had a lot of his tapes but hurricane ike messed everything i had up.what do you have?

  • I don't have anything. I'm 19, so I think he died when I was a little girl, I'm not sure. When my mother first told me about him, I was shocked when I found him on youtube!!!

  • This is my father's cousin. My Dad preached just like him. I remember he'd always send my father recordings of his latest recordings. The last one I can remember him send was "Common Law Marriage" BADDDD PREACHER

  • You guys should realy post more of Rev. Leo Daniel' sermons. This was and yet is one the greatest!

  • Yes that is a great sermon from Leo,

    Common law Marriage, I like What in Hell do you want and Put down your Whisy Bottle.

  • man i love all his sermons especially what in hell do you want, and what god can do with little. Pastor Daniels can flat preach! he is one of the greatest

  • I agree, "What in Hell do you want?" is truly powerful. Dr. Daniels brother is tremendous too.

  • Thank you for posting this. I was baptized at Greater J by Rev. Daniels 10 yrs old. I haven't been to my home church in about 15 years. This made me remember why I went to the altar that Sunday. To those arguing about who is best. Yes, Jasper did preach our revivals and we LOVED him, we also LOVED Leo and C.L. The whoop and call was not invented by any of them, it is a southern, country style and we don't trip over who's best. To us, it's just how preaching is done.

  • A great man of God. Will any more videos of him be posted?

  • This is the founder of Greater Jerusalem

  • @apostolic2010 Leo was not the founder Greater J The members where I know because I was there before Leo My name Kenneth "Peewee" Hogan

  • My dad preaches just like this. He use to have so many old alblums of this great man of God. I wish there were more of his sermons on YouTube. These sermons are very rare to come by, I'm suprised, but glad to have spotted this one.

  • men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.

  • Listen friend the bible is not complex. 2 Timothy 2.15 Study to show thyself approved a workmand unto God rightly dividing the word of truth. Like the great singer Rance Allen said "You've been lying on the truth". Listen to "the preacher". "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with

  • Restorationoflife1, keep on crying like Isaiah, and spare not. God bless you for your boldness. geesolo42

  • Sorry I've been off of here for a while but think you for your encouragment. Continue to pray for the Ministr Rev 12.12 Satan has come to the earth having great wrath for he knows he has but a short time

  • No butchmaster. Homosexuals like u spread aids. And black men on the dl are gay! they are not straight. So include them in your statistics! that is why gays suffer so much from aids and hiv especially men! Just understand that we all sin. And if jesus wants to make u whole, you must give up homosexuality just like I must give up my sinning in other areas. god does not agree with ur lifestyle and u know that. there is no argument to justify your homosexuality when u know better.

  • Well it is most difficult to teach on youtube what has taken years of study. The Bible is complex. When readng the Bible one must take into consideration to whom the was the letter written and why etc.

  • this man was truly a preaching man! I remember when i was 16 years old i heard the sermon what in hell do you want! After he got thru preaching , it wasn't nothing i wanted in hell and still dont! glory!!!!

  • hey..did leo daniels ever pastor in dallas? On that sermon, he refers to dallas a lot and says that the church he is at is in dallas as if he is pastoring there.

  • i know he pastored in houston.

  • is it true that he was in his 30's when he died

  • My lifestyle is no differant than most people with children. we get up go to school and baseball practice eat dinner. Go on vacation in the summer etc. What do you mean lifestyle. The church teaches people tp hate gay prople. Look at the film for the bible tells me so. it might help you.

  • And the lord would hate the fact that 2 homosexual men are raising kids! You know that. You will have to answer to god for that yourself. i would not play with god like that if i were u!

  • God don't Hate them, remeber he made them, however He does not like the sin. If you are going to stand aganist homosexuality then stand aganist the spirit or sin of homosexuality. We are to LOVE everyone rgardless of what sin that may have them bound at the moment. maybe you should be in your secrete place and start praying for the bondage to be brocken off of people..

  • Yes I agree with that comment. The guilt and shame of the life-style causes them to be defensive against anyone who tries to show them the right way. I'm not commenting to put anyone down. I just want to help people. Maybe this person is at home right now thinking about what we have been saying. We have to plant the seed and then let God do the rest. Paul said I plant Apollos waters but God gave the increase. I heard a message Rev. Daniels preached "Build Your own Fire" Powerful message.

  • God is not a God of Guilt and Shame but one of grace and Jesus seeks to make people whole. Like the ones you destroy with such hateful speech. It is because of people like you so Black men are on the DL and HIV/AIDs is on the rise among Black Women. Wake up people You must read the Bible with head and heart. Being Gay is about much more that the sex. That is such a small part of the overall picture

  • Ok u keep saying that we shouldn't hate. I agree. But do u really think homosexuality is not a sin? Doesn't the bible condemn homosexuality or not? since u said read the bible, lets give u some scriptures about ur lifestyle. 2 Pet 2:6-10,2 Peter 2:4-6,Lev. 18:22, 29,Lev. 20:13,Deut. 22:5,Rom. 1:26,Rom. 1:27,1 Cor 6:9,1 Tim. 1:10. Here is just some of the scriptures!

  • the god that butch master believes in is not a christian god. Because homosexuals have made up their own god so they can live in their own destiny and live that lifestyle. They have a fairytale god who will agree with their lust for each other. Homosexuals love to twist god's word to make it fit their lifestyle. god ordained MAN AND WOMAN to be together. Not adam and steve. Such men are nasty and repulsive.

  • Was Jesus a christian?

  • Jesus was a devout JEW! Which means he would have never agreed with homosexuality! He would have cleaned the temple with people like you just like he did in jerusalem. The fact is that people like u keep on sinning without remorse! The bible condemns it and u make excuses. Yes we shouldn't hate gay people I agree! But homosexuality is a sin! Is it not? YES or no? How can u still be gay and the bible says it is wrong?

  • I don't mean to take up all the space on here but I must correct you. When the bible speaks of cutting off you hand that's no literal- it means stop doing that which is against God -Jesus used parables a natural to represent a spritual-Also all for is received with thanksgiving-the bible said what God has cleansed call not common. That's why we pray over our food according to Apostle Peters vision-The Jews and Gentiles

  • Paul preached to the gentiles about their homosexuality! Christ never had to repeal the homosexuality to the jews because it was not an ongoing issue. They had other sins that christ had to address. Paul had to address the different sins of the gentiles. And Paul, who was an apostle to the gentiles, condemned homosexuality. If you disagree with paul, you disagree with christ!

  • Christ is standing in the Gap for you, but you've got to seek him. Pray, fast, John 8.32 say's ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Some times the truth hurts, but if you accept it no matter how bad it hurts it can and will transform you life, it will take you from a victim to a Victor, from defeat-to destiny. Romans 12.1- Be transformed by the renewing of your mind-that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Yes everyone makes mistakes

  • I'm passionate about what I believe yes I am a Pastor. The ministry is called Restoraton of Life. Galations 6.1 says bretheren if a man(woman) be overtaken in a fault ye which are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness considering thyself lest you also be tempted bear ye one anothers burdens and so fufill the law of christ.

  • Listen friend I have had family members who were homosexuals and I did not love them any less because they were. I don't dis-like them. I feel they are mixed up. Yes your right a loving God does not send anyone to hell disobedience to his desire through his word sends people to hell. Think about nature even nature has a standad, when it's opposed there are consequences. Go in peace!

  • No a loving God would never send anyone to hell he Bible says in the book of 2 Peter 3.9

    The Lord is not Slack concerning his promise, But is long-suffering toward us. Not willing in soul should perish but all come to repentance.

  • be fruitful and multiply. The bible says the thief comes to kill steal and destroy. Think about it the enemy the devil desires to destroy the human race. 2 Chronicles 7.13-14 14 If my people which are called by my name would humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from there wicked way then will I hear from heaven forgive there sins and heal the land.

  • First a loving God will not send anyone to hell. The subject is too complex. What you are doing is called proof texting. You take one verse and run with it. Do you eat pork or shrimp. Do you allow women to speak in church? Has your hand ever offened thee? If so Jesus said cut it off.

  • listen...we are not taking one text in running with anything. There is over 6 passages in the bible that condemns homosexuality! The early church didnt approve of it! Christ was a devout jew who said he didn't come to take anything away from the old testament but to add to it! So thus christ would have never condoned homosexuality! You just say that because your a fag and your making excuses.

  • no reproduction of the human race. God loves you but thing about it. You are existing now because of an act between a Man and a Woman not 2 men or 2 women. The Bible says seek and you shall find knock and the door shall come open. I encourage not be afraid to knock pray empty yourself and seek God. Because and eternity in Hell is to long for anyone why take a chance on eternity in a place of torment. Read the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis. God commanded that we as the human race be

  • To the person stuggling with homosexuality. You don't realize it but yes anything that opposes God's will and Commandment is hard to do even if you haven't come into a realization yet. Brother read Romans the 1st chapter 18-32 v.s. You will find out what God is against. Read John 3.16. Brother Homosexuality goes against the creation story. The source of it comes from the anti-Christ movement. Homosexuality opposes Christ. If every one would practice that life style there would be-

  • Preach...About time that someone will tell the truth! I dont have a problem with people living their life as they choose! But GOd is against homosexuality and I especially hate to see it active in our black churches. I dont have anything against them as far as human rights. BUt it opposes christ! Preach!

  • I love these OG Preaching Chords around 3 minutes. Do u hear these folks screaming? Leo daniels got a lot of his whoop game from CL Franklin and he uses alot of CL RUNS. THey were both signed to jewel record corporation.

  • To The Butch Master The Devil Is a Lie

  • the devil is a lie henry! u sho right brotha...i had to give u a plus one on that.

  • I got a chance to hear Rev. William Shaw twice and not once did I hear him hoop....and it still touched me. It still caused this great feeling on the inside. Both sermons were absolutely awesome. I have seen different responses that are against the hoop! I dont see anything wrong with the hoop but I also find nothing wrong with someone preaching the word without the hoop. I guess there is something wrong with me. I just love the truth of the Gospel. I am 30 and I enjoy all styles of preaching.

  • Well, I am a young preacher and I find this awesome. The last thing I want to do though is imitate someone from the past. To me, I pray to be able to reach all....all races and people of different backgrounds. The truth is the truth and I think that far too many people have had this..."WHO'S THE BEST"...problem over a long period of time. To the looks of things, in our day, it obviously has'nt gotten us far. The TRUTH of the Gospel.....RULES!!!!

  • Leo Daniels had all the preaching skills. His brother C.D. couldn't preach a lick.

  • Nothside HOuston Preachers go hard every Sunday...

  • Nothside HOuston Preachers go hard every Sunday...

  • What is going on here. Have we moved beyond this kind of shananaagins

  • YOu must be limited on your understanding of the Black Baptist chrcu...this is like the 80's...not shananagins

  • this is actually in the mid 1970's the video. Leo daniels died april 30, 1977

  • how old was he when he died and is there a copy of his funeral program

  • Brother he was thirty something, very young. Sometimes it seems like the good die young.

  • You are apparently not a christian, and have been deprived of the powerful down home preaching so prevelant in the Black Baptist Church, I will pray for you that you be delivered from the spiritual deafness an blindness that is binding you!!

  • Pardon! I am a christian. I have 3 theological degrees. From Howard univ. and Harvard divinity school. It is that lind of preaching that drove me from the baptist church. It may have been good like 50 years ago. give me a break.

  • With your degrees then you ought to know that it is the black expression that helped us get to where we are today....dont disrespect the black church expression because soon after Rosa Parks sitting on the bus would be shananagins...Richard Allen's radical approach would be shananagins! Be careful that you dont take your feelings and generalize them, because if this kind of preaching gets people to trust God and be saved through JEsus Christ, LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!

  • u have 3 degrees from these divinity school but your hella gay? Give me a break dude! stop wasting ur time learning about god and ur still taking it in the ass man! You not trying to get delivered.

  • First I did not say what happens if and when I have sex. I have been in the same relationship for 10 years. Being Gay is nothing to be delivered from. The Bible is a complex document. Remember the Bible tells slaves to obey and Women to keep silent. We still have a lot to learn about God. It is because of peole like you that Gay bashing happens. Go read a book or sometihng.

  • Gay people always want to make excuses about their homosexuality. Just repent and know your living in sin. I have to repent because i am not perfect in my own life. But that is the devil's trick. He wants people to believe that homosexuality is not a sin. But what does leviticus 20:13 say?

  • butch master...i hope u are seeking help with your disorder.

  • "Shananaagins"??? Your in-ability to move crowds and carry a tune like this man is no reason to critize!

  • TO move Someone should be much more than emotion. Peole come toGod with both headand heart. I grew up in a Black Baptist church.I am proud of that fact. However I am now a part of a church that embraces allof me. A Black gay man who loves the Lord and is Loved by the Lord.

  • yES..U NEED TO BE IN A CHURCH THAT WILL EMBRACE THAT. i KNOW WE ALL SIN, BUT BAPTISTS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ACCEPTING HOMOSEXUALITY. I hope God delivers you from homosexuality and I hope God delivers me from my many struggles in life! We all got something we need to be delivered from! But that homosexuality is something that only the lord can cure.

  • PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKs

  • if he was still living what a sight that would've been! he past away in his prime. i listen to Daniels at least twice a week. my favorite sermons are ''what in hell do you want, it's coming up again, and don't straddle the fence''. as for comparing him to c.l. that's impossible!they have two diffrent styles that are''Great''! i love them both.

  • What in hell do u want is probably the best sermon ever besides CL FRANKLIN eagle stirs her nest! That sermon will make a grown man cry by reverend daniels. That whoop was vicious!

  • Please post more Rev Daniels. Franklin had showmanship and polish but this man was anointed beyond his time. He is like voice in the wilderness.

  • That how you do it!!! Old School, just imagine if he was still living.

  • For those who like good ol school preaching check out F.D. Sampson on youtube

  • hey glory my kinfolk

  • Is that mic cord in the churches guiness book of world records.

  • i dont care who can preach the best or whos the best preacher long as my soul and spirit is being blessed and fed its all right with me

  • Their should never be a competition about how well someone preaches as long as they are truly called by GOD. Leo Daniels is one of the BEST he always packed a church full with standing room only. I cannot understand why people are so negative when it is not warranted.

  • I think we all know that Daniels couldnt touch C.L. on a bad day

  • I wish somebody would playt this new cat, Rev. Emanuel T. Berry out of Houston Tx

  • What!!! You must haven't heard What in Hell Do You Want

  • what in hell do u want goes hard in the paint! maybe if the butchmaster listened to that sermon, he would give up faggotedness.

  • He got body guards all around him

  • He got body guards all around him

  • yall behave the only one who qualifies a preacher is the LORD. HE GIves the preacher the knowledge , the anointing, and the power to preach with or without a degree. The Holy Ghost will direct him in the way he should go you just pray for him to hold up the bloodstain banner as well as you should do yourselves

  • what does that have to do with what I asked? Do you know what church leo daniels pastored or not? We were done with that discussion 2 weeks AGO!

  • any one know the name of leo daniels church?

  • when the spirit hits ya, thr truth is present no what faith you have!

  • Whats up with that microphone? Hilarious!

  • its funny how he start dipping back at the end when he says "do u believe he able?" lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

  • lol... too...too. funny...i thought somebody was stepping on his robe when he was walking....lol

  • LOL yeah I guess it was the first illustration sermon. Them lean backs was killing me. I guess he made up the dance lol.

  • That microphone looks scary! I'll be scared to speak into it especially to hold it... LOL! Was this the first illustrational sermon...lol...

  • i have had several teacher that taught at accreditted school but they got their degree from school that didn't have all the accreditation that people like to see. a christian university, college or seminary can be accreditted by the US Department of education and still not be fully accreditted. in most cases in the religious community to have a degree worth something it must be from an institution that is accreditted by the Association of Theological Schools

  • The Association of Theological Schools ARE accredited by the US Board of Education. If you dont believe me, go to their website! However the Accredited Commission International will never be accredited!

  • i don't know a thing about the accredited commision international. i am not trying to defend them in any way. my issue was with your statement about preacher/pastors who have honorary doctorates...

  • yes I just hate it when all preachers are referring to themselves as doctors when they can barely read and never took a college class in their life like Rev. Frank E Ray! I would never call a guy like that DR!

  • God is going too stop the mouth of you faithless fools, Jesus taught 12 ignorant and unlearn men and with those men, He turned the whole world upside down. The Anoiting of the Holy Ghost is far more than any earthly accredidation that any university can imagine, so quit showing youre ignorance.

  • First of all shut your mouth stupid. We were not talking to you at all. Why dont u got back a couple of pages and read the entire conversation. And you dont know what god is going to do since ur not god u dummy. Learn to mind ur business!

  • case and point...dr. juanita bynum she didn't earn a doctorates degree. she was awarded an honorary doctorate.

  • Juanita Bynum was awarded a honorary doctorate from Truth Bible College in Florida which is not accredited by the US Board of Education. Thus it is not recognized.

  • you can't tell her that her degree is not recognized...and agin i am not speaking of those few celebs that you see on tv. i am talking about preachers that i have met, and studies under during my ministry. that have honorary degrees from recognized seminaries and universities...

  • I can tell my good friend. Truth Bible College is accredited by Accredited Commission International which is NOT recognized by the US Department of Education which makes it an unaccredited agency. Thus any colleges or schools accredited by this agency are invalid and their degrees are INVALID!

  • their degrees are not invalid, they just aren't accredited. they do the required work, but the school doesn't have the accreditation. in most cases it is because of lack of money. fully accreditted school are very expensive. their are some good schools that are not accreditted, that lay persons attend because they don't need a fully accreditted degree like i do.

  • Go to the national baptist website or southern baptist website..they are requiring pastors who want employment to have ACCREDITED Seminary degrees. If your degree is not accredited, you cant use it! You cant put it on a resume, and will not count towards employment. Going to a seminary that is not accredited, it worthless unless you just want to learn info.

  • you are right but most of the preachers that have honorary doctorates already have a church, are retired, or on their way to retirement.

  • by the way just in case anyone thinks that country preacher was not educated those are doctor bars on that robe. it is not a fashion statement.

  • Just because he has doctor bars doesnt make him a doctor. He probably was given an honorary doctorate. Still he was not a Doctor like Martin Luther King or Henry Lyons. Preachers who get honorary doctorates are not equivalent to those who have earned it!

  • that is not entirely true. i know preachers who have honorary degrees, and their are excellent expositors.

  • It is true! Muhammad Ali has a honorary doctorate. Is he a doctor? He received it from Columbia University. What one has achieved academically can never be equated thru some HONORARY DOCTORATE!

  • in most cases an honorary doctorate is conferred upon a person who has demonstrated a great body of knowledge in a subject, not just to those who donate money to a university. i am a graduate of liberty theological seminary and current student at regent seminary.

  • Not in most cases. They are awarded to celebrities, presidents, and well to do people. If they had a great body of knowledge in a subject, wouldnt they earn A LEGITIMATE DOCTORATE? Muhammad Ali has a honorary doctorate...what knowledge does he have? So again...since u dont award doctorates, you cant say what most cases are now can you?

  • are you a preacher/pastor?

  • No I am just a member. But too many preachers or pastors are calling themselves doctors without being formally educated just so they can feel good about themselves. They are lying about their accomplishments which is sinning. Some preachers buy their degrees online!

  • your statement is very true. but there are also great preachers and pastors who don't have the money or resources to go to a fully accredited school. that doesn't make them any better or worse than me with my 2 masters from a globally recognized seminary.

  • I have heard of your seminary and it is accredited by US Board of Education but NOT by the Association of Theological Schools. So thus for some churches, they would not be interested in your application at all just for that fact. However I am sure your education is very valid.

  • liberty theological is globally recognized if for no other fact than jerry falwell gave his life building the school. it was accredited by ats but falwell and the board fell out. so they parted ways.

  • Yes Franklin was dangerous & educated but Daniels could preach about an onion & tie it to the text where you could understand it. Not about knowledge or hoopology but anointing destroys the yoke. We may be gifted to preach, without it we are nothing.

  • Yeah daniels was good. But now...he was so uneducated and would mispronounce words and very country. His grammar was very terrible at times. At best, he is the poor man's CL Franklin. But he could whoop tho and he was very organized in his preaching.

  • leo daniels was raised in time when many preachers didn't have the resources or the knowledge to earn a degree. for every 1 the was educated there 50 that didn't have a high school education. but God gave them a word that blessed the people of that time. God used him and when God was finished using him he took him home...

  • I am not saying he was a bad preacher. He was excellent. However note that a uneducated preacher who mispronounces words PROBABLY is not a legit doctor know matter WHAT his robe may indicate!

  • even though he mispronouced words, he still touched many people and drew them to Christ. this is part of the problem of the modern church. so educated and sophistocated but not many concecrated. i am all for education i am 2 masters and working on my phd, but i never preach to high that my members that don't have formal education cannot understand what thus saith the Lord.

  • what seminary do you go too?

  • Only one time in this country has a honorary doctorate been given to someone who has the right to use it and it was benjamin franklin with his contribution to science. see wikipedia and type in honorary doctorate for more info!

  • wikipedia information is put their by its users..i can go in and say the i am one of benjemin franklin's grandchildren. that site has no credibility. agian that is not true. the level of learning might be different, but you cannot say that it is not equal.

  • @cdesha1118 -God does not require a preacher to be educated to preach His Word, nothing wrong with any preacher being educated in todays world but it is not mandatory for when God qualifies one, you are qualified without a doubt.

  • Are you serious? All of the old men got it from Jasper Williams? CL Franklin is 24 years older than Jasper Williams. Read Singing in a strange land and Jasper Williams admits to taking after CL Franklin because his own father Jasper Williams Sr didnt whoop! This is why Jasper Williams Jr preached CL's funeral.
