Hammond: "I would almost welcome"

[70CarStall]

Why does he not teach the word of the LORD? He teaches his own words. If you think that reciting 4 or 5 verses out of context in a sermon is teaching the word of the Lord you are mistaken. I can do the same thing with the book 'War and peace', I can make it say whatever I want. Look we are in a famine, not for bread, but for hearing the word of The Lord! (Amos 8). If a preacher does not teach the Bible regularly he is the ones God is speaking to in Ezek 13, and Jer 23 (read whole chapters.

[noahjengland]

I love PMAC!! I was a huge skeptic when I first heard him, and a year later I realized I had never met a man of more integrity and honesty about every situation. There are countless ministers that give the gospel a bad name to the world, but this man has kept his Word and still leads one of the most amazing churches I've ever been to. If you have never been there don't judge, lets take a look at your life under a microscope and see how you measure up to him.

[ivaro3]

I went ONCE to his church and it took my at MOST 30 seconds to see that he was slick and was not a man of God. Just watching this video makes it even more apparent. He is smart, slick, and just weird. I don't see how you can watch this video and not question his sincerity. He seems like a bad but intelligent used car salesman in a minister's clothing.

[alpinecsgj]

Praise God for you Mac. You are a major blessing to Christian businessmen and Pastors across this nation. I am so thankful for your confidence and boldness. Yes, many confuse that for arogance but to the defiled everything appears defiled. May God's blessings continue to shower you and Lyn as you serve Him and all of us who receive your great leadership. WE LOVE YOU!!

[TheLeuther]

The money, is your tithe.

It's your personal journey with God.

You can block your blessings all you want.

In the Bible it says, You shall give 1/10.

So if you question LWCC and Pastor Mac...

then you question God and the Bible.

[BearBarton53]

The Board is a separate entity??? You lousy liar. John Copeland - your best friends son, is one of the board members. How is that "independent.?"

[JESUSlovesyou3737]

God bless you Mac Hammond!

I go to his church and I have been a member since I was born

our church is not only blessed but God totally reigns and His power is evident

[revparadigm]

"I went to his church and school till i was in 10th grade... his ministry is the biggest cult ever"

Oh boy. I challenge anyone to walk into the doors of LWCC and actually sit in a service and claim its a "cult". Hahaha, what absurd nonsense. A "cult" who tells visitors most of the time NOT to give anything. Funny a number of times I have heard Hammond preach "if don't think you are called to be a part of this church, you should not be here". Uh huh, some cult. Wow some people love to slander.

[revparadigm]

Most transparent I have ever seen* I meant [spell correction]....lol

[revparadigm]

Mac Hammond was a multi million dollar businessman before he gave it up to go full time into the ministry. He single handedly built one of the largest airfreight businesses in the nation. Less than 30% of his income comes from the church. That version of that "leased plane" story is a silly lie...busted! I go to LWCC and this church is the most transparent church concerning finances I have even seem. Every year they hand out a detailed book which logs where every penny came and went.

[BearBarton53]

Hey dum-dum.  Mac didn't quit to go into ministry - he went out of business - owed a whole bunch of taxes - had nothing else to do except pastor - check your facts dum dum before you spout yet another lie... (and I used to be a pastor under Mac...)

[MrJcthull]

@BearBarton53 what years, were yo there at the old building or the new one

[znotty]

Heres the Rub,the Church buys him a plane which he leases straight back to the church at double the payments but still uses it exclusivly,yeah,luxury cars ,million dollar houses,private jets & rolex watches,send em ya last 5 bucks,they`ll take & spend it on themselves.if this is your God,stick it up your lying arse`s.

[Twinnyz426]

It's sad that you all don't know that if you give according to the Bible that you will be BLESSED! His result from all HIS giving has made him a prosperous man! He speaks directly from the Word. It's a spiritual law. Poverty is under the curse! Choose life! God bless.

[AJSsales1]

2008

[AJSsales1]

I went to his church and school till i was in 10th grade... his ministry is the biggest cult ever

[ryanjurek]

I went to 'his' school too until 8th grade. What was the graduating year of the class you were in?

[BearBarton53]

Mac is slick. He preaches so long and dull that the people fall asleep and then end up agreeing by default. To hermanogflores - you don't need to be blind and deaf to believe Mac - just greedy...

[hermanogflores]

only a spiritually blind and deaf person would give to this man's so called ministry. People who support him need to listen to that ensnared by the greed gospel message on the right.

[spider43]

is this thief behind bars yet?

[BearBarton53]

Mac's many words lulls his listeners to sleep. Ask him about his little red airplane, that he supposedly gave to the ministry. The records show that the ministry purchased the airplane from Mac at an amount over it's value. Check it out. The truth is there when you want to see it...

[shipofpraise]

belovia, I heard you were kicked off of Independent Conserv's videos. What happened? I saw where he called you old and ignorant. LOL

[shipofpraise]

don't blame you. quit talking to these people. They don't care about what you think anyway.

[belovia50]

Well, they should.

[belovia50]

Apparently, I have. He said he should block me and my "very good" comments are gone. I don't want to talk anywhere the comments are manipulated anyway. It's his video and he can do what he wants on it.

[belovia50]

I have been hearing from a lot of people who are against propering and into living a life of poverty because the Bible says to be content with food and raiment. Yet, I'm sure they have jobs, drive cars, own Bibles, houses, have children, probably even a tv. They are not living what they preach. Yet, they are quick to tell me that I'm in a cult because I believe in giving to my church. Beware of these people.

[1Cor2two]

Let's be honest. The prosperity gospel is about acquiring not giving. They tell you to give so you can get. There are strings attached to the gift. They even tell you to write down what you want on your envelopes that you send to them. Shameful!

[hermanogflores]

did you answer the brothers question? Let me put it this way: Would you be okay with buying and living in a mansion? Like copeland and benny hinn have.

[belovia50]

What question, herman? To answer your question though, I don't think I would like a mansion that large. Of course, if I had the people coming in and out that they do, I might think differently. I've given away houses so I should be getting more soon. Don't you think?

[hermanogflores]

These prosperity preachers live like celebritys in completey luxury! Lifestyles of the rich and famous! Is a mansion that big really necessary? Is that being a good steward?

Hermano means brother in spanish. Sorry for my english.

[shipofpraise]

I doubt if 1Cor2two even knows who bought the $12,000 dog.

[1Cor2two]

would it really matter? It's pretty cultic the way you WoF followers can see no error at all in your leaders. If I gave you pictures you'd still deny it or justify it. May the Lord open your eyes.

[shipofpraise]

we see error, but we practice the Word of God as well as the Word of Faith. The problem with you fundamentals is you're more into judging than anything else. Oh, we've had a few of you in our churches and it divides and subtracts instead of adds and multiplys. We are adding while you are subtracting, that's why you're fighting us so hard. I didn't think you knew who bought that dog, you just copied Donnie's message. I doubt he knew either.

[1Cor2two]

I could look it up but it wouldn't matter. It's been a long time since that story broke out. It was either Duplantis, Copeland, or one of them WoF leaders. Like I said, you'd still find a way to justify it because the truth is you find no problem with living in a mansion. You say it's to bless the poor, but look at what's happened with your leaders who are entrusted with money? They get corrupt.

[1Cor2two]

How in the world do you justify living in a multi-million dollar mansion? I thought the prosperity and blessings were for blessing the less unfortunate? That's what you guys all say anyways..Prosperity comes and then it's all of a sudden " I'm son of the King, I deserve this..." If it's gifted to you, why not sell it and feed the poor?

[hermanogflores]

There are many video clips on youtube that document all their scandalous and corrupt behavior. They are done by the secular news media and some christian watchdog groups. It's all there for you if you want to see it.

[1Cor2two]

It's not like Copeland et al. have a bunch of orphans running around in their house. Do they? Why does creflo need a rolls royce? They are also corrupt because they 'gift' one another HUGE amounts. Didn't you see how Copeland and Hammond exchange million dollar gifts? Where does that money come from?

[1Cor2two]

Your numbers may be better but it's bad fruit. You attract gold diggers. They only want Jesus for what He can give them. Look at Bill Hybels confession the other day. He tried a similiar method as you, and realized he's not making real disciples. You cannot bypass the Cross.

[shipofpraise]

belovia, i'm trying to find out who bought the $12,000 dog. Probably no one.

[shipofpraise]

read the letter KCM had put out about all this. They said they would not participate in a public spectacle. They also said that a Dallas tv station ran a story that was misleading. If you want to see where their money goes, it's on their website. I'm not talking anymore about KC on a Hammond video. Not right.

[1Cor2two]

"When I read in the Bible where he [Jesus] says, 'I Am,' I just smile and say, 'Yes, I Am, too!'" -Kenneth Copeland (The Force of Love, 1987, audiotape #02-0028, side 1)

[1Cor2two]

Looks like Senator Grassley is gonna expose all these wolves. Keyword Grassley and pulpit pimp to see what I'm saying. Or google the news with Grassley and televangelist.

[belovia50]

It's started all right, 1Cor2. Soon the Christians will probably have to go underground. When the government begins to attack the church, changes soon follow. God is not going to sit by and allow this to happen. Wake up, Christians! Get the government out of the church.

[1Cor2two]

if these "ministers" weren't living such lavish lifestyles they wouldn't draw so much attention to themselves. They rob from the poor widow and orphans and buy a 12,000 dollar dog. SHAMEFUL!

[belovia50]

Now we're getting somewhere! WHO bought that $12,000 dog? People griped about Frances Swaggart's $11,000 desk, I think it was Joyce Meyer's expensive commode, the Roberts gold handled bath faucets, the Bakkers air conditioned dog house, now it's a $12,000 dog. Please, please, please tell us WHO bought the dog!

[shipofpraise]

we are givers, 1Cor2two. The early church were givers and were willing to be martyred for it. We are too. We won't stop giving. Oh, I know there are those who gripe and holler because they aren't true givers, and they are being found out, aren't they?

[1Cor2two]

Anthony, who has studied many Word-Faith ministries, recalled a breakfast meeting with Hammond mentor Copeland in Fort Worth, Texas, years ago. "The waitress brought our food, and Copeland turned to her and said, 'God doesn't want me to eat cold pancakes,' " said Anthony. "He was deadly serious. The attitude of these preachers is that they are the King's kid, and deserve the best.

[shipofpraise]

no one should have to pay for cold pancakes. It doesn't sound like Kenneth Copeland as he made a commitment years ago not to eat bread. Pancakes are bread. I've heard this before. Didn't believe it then, don't believe it now.

[1Cor2two]

Do you Hammond disciples also support Kenneth Copeland and the rest of the WoF "ministers"?

[lilredbug]

Oh, 1Cor2two, I guess you don't need a Bible either. You people have ranted and raved until you've got the government checking out certain ministries. What are you going to do when they come after you? You're little churches that need the help won't get it either and it's your own faults. The big boys can pay their taxes.

[1Cor2two]

God will help. The Gates of Hell will not prevail against His Church. You think the Gov't can stop the church????

[lilredbug]

Do you think God will help those that fight against what He's doing in these last days? You just watch. You'll see what God's getting ready to do. I don't think you will like it much, but who knows? The government has hurt the church lots of time. Stopped, no, but there are hurting people and churches because of governments interference.

[1Cor2two]

many people in these prosperity churches are gonna turn on their pastors when the economy collapses and real persecution comes and they begin to suffer. They'll be naming and claiming until their face turns blue but it won't get them a thing.

[lilredbug]

You just don't get it, do you, 1Cor2. You can name and claim it until your face turns blue and if there's no faith to go along with it you won't get anything. Even then, you have to receive as well as apply love and the word. Like I said earlier, it takes time and dedication to learn these principles or pull these nuggets of truth out of the word. Sometimes, it takes time for it to manifest. It depends on your level of faith and understanding.

[1Cor2two]

So do you believe a man of God can be a man of Faith yet still get cancer?

[shipofpraise]

a man of Faith is a man of God, and yes, he can get cancer. Cancer doesn't discriminate. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the firey trial...cancer is common to man, so even a man of faith can get it.

[1Cor2two]

shipofpraise, I'm glad to hear that from you. Copeland disagrees with you. "Many people think God wants them to stay sick, so He can get glory out of their travail; but that kind of thinking is a lie straight from the pit of hell! To put sickness on you after it was put on Jesus would be a miscarriage of justice! ...you can know beyond doubt that God's will is for every person in Jesus Christ to be healed and made well. He paid the price, so we could receive it.

[1Cor2two]

"Anytime a believer has a problem receiving healing, he usually suffers from ignorance of God's Word, ignorance of his rights and privileges in Jesus Christ. " -Kenneth Copeland -You Are Healed pg 8-9

[shipofpraise]

Copeland doesn't say a man of God or a man of Faith can't get cancer. He said God wouldn't put it on you. I think you all are getting that the WOF teachers are lying because of your own misconceptions. You are very confused about Kenneth Copeland and the WOF movement. I don't see anything that he says that's incorrect here. I can see though that you don't understand it.

[hermanogflores]

but they do put it on the Christian and his lack of true Faith as to the reason they are not healed.

[shipofpraise]

herman, the problem is that so many fight healing and when a person IS diagnosed with the dreaded disease, there isn't much time to learn all one needs to learn to build his faith. It takes time and study to learn the principles of healing. Some people believe easier than others and have an easier time learning and applying it to the disease. We shouldn't blame the person, but the spirit behind it.

[wildrose021]

was not abraham wealthy, how about Issac, solomon, and the verse you continually talk about goes on to talk about the "love" of money, i do not love money but I love to help God's childens. it is the intensions you have with the money, things are not as simple as one verse.

[1Cor2two]

So what do you preach in 3rd world countries? This american prosperity gospel does not work over there. It really doesn't work over here either. Only reason why it does work is because of people just getting motivated. might as well listen to self help gurus, etc though. Same principles.

[1Cor2two]

You can help them by giving them a pure gospel. Not some gospel that tells them they can be little gods and be rich. You think God wants a gold digger Bride? That's the kind of "Christian" the prosperity gospel attracts.

[wildrose021]

I feel sorry for you, you are out to destroy those who work for God, I know many lives who have been changed by that church and millions that have been saved, can you really question that, how many people have you reached, i cant imagine many when you are so busy trying to destroy the body of Christ. If only you could refocus your efforts you could help alot of people.

[1Cor2two]

They are wolves and preach heresy. Let's be clear on that issue.

[1Cor2two]

Can one of you prosperity gospel followers PLEASE give an explanation of 1 Timothy 6:8? Maybe you can ask Mr Hammond.

[lilredbug]

I'm not the person you're fighting with, but I will ask you if you're content with just food and clothes, 1Cor2two? I guess you don't need a house or furnishings either? Or friends? Or a church? Or money? Or a pet? Or family? I could go on, but it would be wasted since all you need is food and raiment. Do you just live on that one scripture?

[1Cor2two]

If God so chose to strip me of my earthly goods I'd know it was for His purposes that he allowed it and that He would be glorified in it and he'd bring me through it.  He is Sovereign and you and I are NOT. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the Name of the Lord.

[1Cor2two]

IF God allowed me to lose some earthly goods then I'd trust He had His reasons in doing it. He is Sovereign and I am not. THe Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away but blessed be the Name of The Lord. He is faithful to bring us through every trial and keep us and even make the testing into a testimony for Him.

[wildrose021]

Before he became a pastor he owned his own air freight buisness so the nice things he has was from that,he is saying he gets paid like every other pastor, we've given away millions to help other churchs and to help those in need, before you start judging this church ask yourself have you even done an 1/8 of what this church has done,he Doesnt say to tithe to him, when you tithe they have envelopes where you can put a checkmark were you can decide what you want your tithes to go to, missions etc

[1Cor2two]

If you attend there I feel bad for you. The theology is full of error in that church. I don't care how much your church does. Mormons and JWs also do many "good works". How does that justify your false doctrines? It doesn't.

[1Cor2two]

Lastly, the Minnesote Monitor has a good article that exposes this wolf. He even DEMANDS his people to tithe.

[1Cor2two]

Anyone believing this nonsense spoken by Hammond needs to view a BIBLICAL response here on youtube. Keyword Love of Money Prosperity Gospel and posted by me.

[mercedebaby]

There's a group of religious "christians" who are out to nail the televangelists. They believe they must "save" the poor lost souls that have been deluded by these money grabbing "hounds of hell." It reminds me of the scribes and Pharisees hounding Jesus. I think they are called modern day Scribes and Pharisees.

[1Cor2two]

You are comparing this Hammond fellow to Jesus???? What a stretch. Have you read 1 Timothy chapter 6 yet? paul wrote "with food and clothing be content". That's verse 8 of that chapter. Paul believed in "poverty preaching" too, Mercedebaby. I stand on solid ground-The Word of God.

[1Cor2two]

Mercedebaby, you said we're "hounding"? you INVITED me to come here. I'll quote you:

"you should listen to mac hammond timothy video. He will tell you! Your poverty preaching won't stand up there. "

[mercedebaby]

I wasn't thinking about you when I wrote that 1Cor. It looks like you are naming yourself a "hound." Actually, I was thinking of some others, but you beat them to the draw. I wouldn't read anything you post if I know it in advance 1Cor. All you want to do is bicker and argue, 1 Cor. I'm not comparing anyone to Jesus, but apparently, you would like to think that of me. Doesn't matter, I couldn't care less what you do or think.

[1Cor2two]

Then why did you say "1Cor" then? You need to be careful who you are following. Read up about Jim JOnes massacre. Many of his followers were smart people intellectually. You could be deceived if you don't do like the berans and search the Word of God.

[mercedebaby]

I wouldn't have told that about the 4 speeding tickets and a suspended license, I don't think.

[smithstonean]

Mac has a "puppet team"? It all makes sense now!

[BritneyLovesGod]

What is wrong with you guys??? I've been going to this church since I was in 6th grade. I've been on the puppet team but quit last year. This is a great church. Then there is the children church. Pastor mark the childrens pastor and puppet team leader just wasn't fair with anything. Thats the only reason why I quit puppets after 5 years.

[jahredkmn]

Mac is a great guy. I love, respect and admire him. I don't like people who disrespect God, Jesus Christ or Mac Hammond.

[bubisha2000]

Mac is a guy, Great is pushing it. You are supposed to love,respect and admire God and Jesus Christ.

Mac has really messed you up. He should be an accountant or a cpa or financial advisor,,,,,,,,,,wait,he is!

[gnxnational]

He is a fraud, he never speaks the true word he just rambles on. I went to school with his kids in the 80s and John Hammond is a jerk.

[jkalen]

who are you, I went to school with him too, and you sound like a jerk-he is a great guy!

[Chucktallica101]

I kind of hope they would audit him...if he's telling the truth then it would shut up and expose the freaks with pitchforks and torches. If he's lying then they should burn him. Either way it's ballsy to go on local tv and defend yourself and either way this takes courage.

[bubisha2000]

"didn't your mother ever use soap?" Like on your mouth>>>

[bubisha2000]

"here you are lying again...Isn't that just wrong?"

[bubisha2000]

"was that lying word?"
