REUBEN ARMSTRONG "SNAKES IN THE PULPIT

[dr7734573882]

men who do their wife wrong are HOT DOGS PIMP AND WENEED TO PRAYER FOR GOD TO MAKE THEM SIT DOWN 

[dowmwtheking]

LET HIM WHO HAS NO SIN IN HIS LIFE CAST THE FIRST STONE? any takers?

[SistahShay7]

I am amazed at the ignorance of some believers the disciples all had careers Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and so on. They were asked to leave everything and come with Jesus someone had to have money, would you leave your career to live in poverty? This is that same poverty thinking that has taken not only the spiritual power from the church but the physical power also. I will buy his book and others who know that we are suppose to be the head and not the tail we shall lend and not borrow??????

[dlahug]

iT WAS FOOD IN THE TABERNACLE AND IT IS FOOD NOW. 2 CHRONICLES 31 TELLS YOU THAT. MALACHI, GOD WAS CURSING THE PRIEST FOR MAKING HIS TABLE CONTEMPTIBLE AND THEIF. MATT. 23:23 HE CALLED THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES,HYPOCRITES.ACTS IS THE START OF THE NEW TESTAMENT,NOT MATTHEW. MARK LUKE AND JOHN WAS SPEAKING OF OLD. IT'S IT IS IMPOSIBLE,TO GIVE TITHES, WHERE THE HIGH PREIST AND THE TABERNACLE.IT WAS UNDER A LAW.JESUS WAS THE LAMB.SO IF YOU ARE,YOU ARE DENYING JESUS. NOW YOU KNOW. YOU ARE ACCOUNTABLE

[dlahug]

EVERY LAST ONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARMSTRONG IS TALKING ABOUT IS WOLVES, IF YOU CAN'T LESSON AND HEAR WHAT THESE SELF APPOINTED WOLVES ARE SAYING TO YOU 1. YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BIBLE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING 2. YOU ARE WITCHCRAFT THROUGH YOUR EMOTIONS 3. YOU ARE HOLDING A POSITION, YOUR FALSE TITHES IS BUYING. THEY MAKE YOU THINK POOR PEOPLE IS A SIN OR THEIR FAULT, WHEN THE LORD SAID THE POOR WILL ALWAYS BE AMONGST YOU. IF YOU ARE A TITHES PAYER YOU DON'T READ YOUR BIBLES, BECAUSE TITHES IS FOOD.

[myopinion27]

Why are all the pastors that he's talking are over mega churches. Your relationship with God is just that, your's. Live your best life and let that be an example. We're not here to expose the short coming of others, but to heal ourselves. You shouldn't worship the pastor, but pray for him. You know what kind of demons you come against just trying to do right, imagine what they're dealing with, with all they're trying to do.

[CarlaMills]

You were right all along !!!!

[Antman68AD]

I find it kind of funny when people, berate people for selling books and tapes, in the BOOK they are SELLING ! Ha Ha

[mrykangl]

These men have lost sight, or never had it to begin with, in that they are teaching that if you give your money that is the way to be blessed by God. Jesus said it is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle that a rich man to enter the gates of heaven. I think the lifestyles of these men qualify as rich!!!!!

[mrykangl]

I believe we are suppose to give in charity, as the bible teaches, but where did Jesus ever speak of giving your money. Jesus always spoke of giving in your actions and deeds, not giving of your money. Now having said that, there are expenses that must be paid, just like in your home. We don't want to go to church to find that the lights have been cut off, or the building is going to foreclosure.

[dani32211]

@playbonb3

Salvation is not free, a life still had to be sacrificed

[playbonb3]

@dani32211 It's free to us.....Not unless you feel like jumping on a cross dying.

Somebody always trying to be deep.

[secondbible]

the "jesus" creflo follows is a demonic mimicking spirit mixture of mammon and mercury, the roman god of business, communication and thievery/ trickery. that's where he gets his power from. it's a religious spirit with master-camouflage tactics. "the cross" is lacking in this false, venomous gospel. it has the power to take over people's minds. it fears "expose".

[expose29]

This is an eye opener thanx bro.

[nettieheart]

Not everyone is a sell out for money why do people always say that when someone points out evil they are judging or jealous of false prophets. I applaud Reuben for standing up against the brood of vipers! nh

[HannibalAnnihilator]

I have to agree with the brother. He's right on. I'm surprised that so many people are so easily deceived. It's so obvious a child could see it the trangressions and lies. However, people, (especially black women) are so willing to follow these would be pastors, without regard to common sense or scripture doctrine that would point out their flaws.

That said, I think it's something more basic. Water seeks its own level, people are attracted to individuals of like natures.

[iluvuholyspirit]

This guy just wishes he had a mega church also. So sad to see that he calls those true men of God snakes!!!

[secondbible]

@iluvuholyspirit if creflo's gang were true people of god, they 1st wouldn't threaten to harm reuben when he would publish the book. 2nd : they wouldn't admit their pastor is misleading the people, and just continue the fraudulent business (as that is what they did). 3d : they wouldn't be manipulating and intimidating the poor to give their last dollar to them. 4th : they wouldn't buy the most expensive junk while others around them die of no food. materialism blocks and corrupts the spiritual.

[mrykangl]

@iluvuholyspirit Even satan is able to speak the words of God. This does not make him righteous. What qualifies these men of such a title? The church is suppose to uplift the people out of the condition they are in. Not keep them in poverty and living check to check. I'm sure men like these appreciate that you keep their bills paid, while you never THINK of asking for monetary help from them when needed! They ask and we give even to our own detriment! All because the put God said before give!!!

[JCarey902]

Now yu might be right about the other three but joel osteen deffinately isnt one of them.

[wiseman593]

It's a shame how satan has managed to sneak his way into christianity and turn us against each other....it's no longer about preaching the good news, christians don't care about doing that anymore. Its about "exposing false teachers" now.

[ericdisney1]

the roman empire stole christianity !!! i hate religion. i love spirituality.if i have to crawl on my knees in the dark to find it. i will

[BillBean104]

Seek GOD Eric and you will find HIM! Accept Jesus Chrsit as your Saviour and you will be Saved! Don't follow what men say, seek GOD!!!

[ArnoldsCreations]

Tell it like it is.

[comethouse35]

There are Bible tests about detecting the false prophets. SEE: Deuteronomy 18:20-22. False prediction is one of them. Benny Hinn claimed divine inspiration to prophesy that Fidel Castro would die "in the nineties". And all the homosexuals in the USA would be slaughtered "by the fire of God" at the same time. True or false?

[drawingboard10]

We need to be more concerned about if we are living for God? If we hate our brothers and sisters who we see everyday----do we love God? Is our heart right? Do we bash people and enjoy seeing people decieved so we can feel right about ourselves? I'm not condeming anyone here but for all of you real people who know you not perfect but love Jesus, stand up and become an example of the truth to the lost!

[LighthouseJC]

Thats RIGHT!!!! What are the priorities of the snakes, the LOST, POOR HOMELESS??? SAVING SOULS REPUTATIONS... WHERE ARE THE SIGNS and wonders from these

[BillBean104]

GOD Bless you brother Armstrong. I share the same feeling as you. We must stand up against these deceivers.

[ericdisney1]

im running away from religion. the roman empire stole christianity

[stillonward]

Good stuff. We can't let the small church pastors off the hook either. The smaller church pastors take more of a percentage of the profits/offering than the mega church.

[SouthernGent55]

The bottom line is this: T.D. Jakes is a closet homosexual, with good communication skills and charisma. However, do you notice who he dupes for the most part? Women! It is not hard to deceive women as they are full of emotional baggage.

Jakes admitted at a Preacher's conference that he did not like to preach to men. I know why. Because men are more discerning than women. You can easily duped women. TD Identifies with women more than he does with men, and that is a fact!

[Lockettca]

In any church there are always more women than men. Men find it hard to "fall in love" with another man. The man in this case is Jesus. If you know scripture, you kow that women followed Jesus all the way to the cross and women were the first at His tomb.

[ericdisney1]

when i teach people one on one about the spirituality of jesus christ its mostly women. i have to agree with u my brotha

[mediascholar]

@Lockettca but weren't there at least 12 male disciples?

[ericdisney1]

lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo

[ozzie2005]

Go get'em

[Medafoure]

PREACH!!!

[tastreetman]

Check this out. A friend of mine was having a hard time financially so he went to The Potter's House for any help he could get. They asked him for several items of personal information and said, "We'll get back to you." Later, they told him they couldn't help him at that time. A week later he received, in the US Mail, a letter from TD Jakes asking for him to contribute to the ministry. Isn't that amazing? He went to them in his time of need and asked him for the very thing he needed.

[LovemyUrbanSKIN]

but why do your friend think that church is suppose to be some damn bank? I am all for helping people, but come on.

[tastreetman]

He wasn't thinking it was a bank. He just needed a little help and got the impression TD Jakes could help. He found it was a little hypocritical.

[myd1986]

tastreetman,

"got the impression TD Jakes could help"? LOL

[IdumeaDoomDay]

Do you think people make books for free?

[JesusIsLord987]

lol

thats very true.

[tastreetman]

No. Some of them make them to make a profit. But you have people like TD Jakes who says to give to God to get from God. So, we should tithe to make a profit?

[DeniseLoveJESUS]

Reuben is right what he is saying about the pastors, "BUT" he too is related to them in spirit. "ABBA's" WORDS are for FREE, NO ONE should have to pay to know him. Their books,

tapes,paying tithes are sin, there is only one book the "BIBLE". You do not have to be their victim for the devil. Pick up the bible and read it yourself, pray for understanding of ABBA's words, work towards a relationship with him the HOLY GHOST will guide you,stay focus on the prize JESUS, not man he will deceive you

[IdumeaDoomDay]

No Lie Denise, good comment.

[dani32211]

@DeniseLoveJESUS....

You are so misguided and I don't know why I am waisting the time to respond, but I just had to say this because you seem to think you don't suppose to pay tithes and read the word only. If you are such a bible reader then read..Malachi 3: 8-18 are you really reading with an understanding. Also read Romans 10:13-15, and this man that is speaking against Men of God Read Psalms 105:15. Why is it when men/women of God asks for your tithes and offerings - they are robbers?

[dani32211]

They are stealing from people. But when uncle sam ask you, the people that finances your: car, house, furniture and they tell you this is what you have to pay......What do you do....PAY IT!!!! NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY YOU WILL MAKE SOME TYPE OF ARRANGEMENTS, they are not looking after your soul, praying for you, counseling you, teaching you and yet they should not have the best!!! as well as yourself....It's the principle of give and receive...Give and it shall be given unto you.

[DaSouth123]

To the one calling Reuban a hyposcrite because he sells books, you are trying to sound smart but sounds stupid. Selling a book is buying info at your own option. Telling peole to give money through false prophecies is another issue.

[IdumeaDoomDay]

You're one stupic person, he is a hypocrite.

[kingdavid03]

why is it that everytime a man of God is shown as being prosperous then he is called a snake. Why do preaches have to be broke? and if their not broke they are automatically consider crooks.

[Caribtrini8182]

Timothy 6:5

and Constant Friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to finacially gain.

Timothy6:7 for we brought nothing in this world, and we can take nothing out of it.

Timothy6:8 But if we have food and clothing we will be content with that"

Creflo and the whole of them are snakes..deceivers to drag down poor people and use woman to increase their gain

[Dust2x4]

This Brain-damaged Negro along with the "White" people who accept the GREAT LIE that the Creator of this Creation is a WHITE MAN who had a WHITE SON-GOD are in perpetual delusion.  Most of your "good" White friends attend these houses of hate to worship a god who didn't want a daughter because women are "evil" so this false "god" had one child = A WHITE MALE. =SEXIST & EVIL CONCEPT. God is UNIQUE. NOT A WHITE MAN. STOP TEACHING THE HATE AND RACIAL SUPREMACY IN THE WHITE CHURCH THAT YOU ATTEND

[traysmith1992]

suuuuure..... just bcuz theu have a lot of money dont mean anything. bishop long doenst even recieve money from his church

[trudyb11]

My Dear Brother Armstrong, I read your book t and I am in full agreement Today requires a Salvation messge and nothing but. Five Stars and Three Thumbs UP

[JJ77TTUU4]

jer. 23:16 i believe that!

[raphaelaaron]

read the bible.

you should then know that judgment begins in the house of God. we are to correct anyone prophesying false things. it's not just this guy's opinion, look all over youtube about the expose of the prosperity gospel.

[naturalsystah]

amen

[OUTSPOKENDIVA]

Preach!!!

[Justathinker1975]

"There is no such thing as a Mega Church in America....there is only Expensive Real Estate with well paid Speakers in them."

-Billy d. 2007

[esquireyes]

What does that mean?

[lav02]

I will be buying this book! That is why I don't go to to church...niggas is so gullible going to church! Foolish ass people can't think for themselves! I don't tithe!!! Religion is personal!!! These pastors can all kiss my ass!

[Christthedelivarah23]

2 thessalonians 2:9

signs and lying wonders

deluding and deceiving.

[jabron1973]

he called them mega snakes...lol..that was funny

[IamNeutral]

Blacks-12% of the U.S. His Research- 4 ministers; 3 black, 1 white Do the math blacks- 75% are Snakes in his study Give me a Major Break!! . Definitely NOT buying book!Library, maybe Ref to Joel Osteen (sp)- he does not speak from the Bible so that's no Revelation there. There are good mega churches (although I understand that his study is suppose to be the top 4) Whatever

[bigsmoove85]

I agree. but just remember money is not the root of all evil. The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. I Timothy 6:10. Here's another verse one might find interesting. 2 Peter 2:1-3.

GOD BLESS

[sisterofmine]

I think that there are a lot of churches that have problems and the problem is that people let other tell them what you are to believe and the other problem is most do not want GOD they want the gifts of GOD money power and more money but as the bible says money is the root of all evil

[mom2dave]

This is the problem. People want blessings, but do not want to live for God. Another falacy is the idea that monetary gain is a way to measure your standing with God. Prosperity does not = favored by God. The world is rich and prosperous. Atheists can be rich and prosperous. The people of God are blessed to be a blessing, that's the difference.

[sisterofmine]

1 timothy3:6 Not a novice lest beinglifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.1 timothy 4:1 now the spirit speakth expressly that in the Latter times some shall depart from the faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils

[tueliewomp]

I agree that there are snakes in the puplit but Joel Olsteen is not one. He does not ask for money nor does he take a salary from his church he is strictly off his book sales. So maybe someone should do more research before putting him in the boat with snakes. But good try

[sisterofmine]

I disagree with that for Joel hardly ever use the bible in his teachings and he tells people that should not eat certain meat that is not of GOD colos.2:16 Let no man judge youin meat or in drink or in respect of an holydayor of new moon or sabbathdays.

[7567266]

I don't know whether he made these comments or not but we shouldn't eats certain meats not because it's spiritual or unspiritual but sometimes it's just not good for you. I'm a christian and love God and you with all my heart but I realize some things just aren't good for me

[bigsmoove85]

Getting saved is only the beginning, you have to live the life of christ. Wake up people. Read the bible from beginning to end, get your own knowledge and understanding of the word, get a personal relationship with GOD. Here are some scriptures dealing with false prophets you might find interesting. This is from the word of GOD. Accept it or Reject it. GOD BLESS...Matthew 7:15-23;24:10-13,24-24;Luke 6:26;Acts 13:6-12; I John 4:1-3; I Timothy 1:3-11;4:1-5;6:3-10

[bigsmoove85]

This is very true. Its all part of things happening in the last days. We must all must be constent scholars of the bible so we can discern things like this and won't be lead astray by false prophets. Ministers now are focusing too much on praise than living a Christ like life.

[LivLrg]

Thank you Mr. Reuben for confirming the truth.

[vancoscellos]

you have a good point, i have my reservations about him, who can you really trust, but one thing is certain, they are snakes, osteen,long,jakes,oral roberts, bynum,dollar,price, its a very looooong list, and these mega-churches, are businesses first and foremost!

[stasiaosho]

the bible says test every spirit by the Spirit. We have the spirit of discernment so really, God reveals these people too us. You also judge them by their fruit....an apple tree can't grow oranges so good can't come from a bad preacher period. I don't think Juanita Bynum is a snake at all..she is highly anointed and she blesses me everytime

[7567266]

Hey by chance where can I find that scripture that says test the spirit by the spirit

[stasiaosho]

No problem.

(1 John 4:1) NIV

"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world".

1 John 4:1 (King James Version)

King James Version (KJV)

Public Domain

(1 John 4:1) KJV

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world".

[jiffyjen]

Well...........tell it!!!

[jiffyjen]

I realize the scripture says "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou prosper, be in health, even as thy soul prospereth". The mentioned pastors tend to forget the "even as thy soul prosperth" part. They don't want to teach about righteous living, because they know that people don't want hear or accept this portion of God's message. Therefore, we know this would effect their Sunday attendance.

[IndependentConserv]

And what they lose sight of this:

3 John 1:2 NKJV

"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers."

It is John offering a prayer for Gaius. One apostle's prayer for someone does NOT mean God promised that to everyone who comes in His name. John didn't say the Lord promised it, he was praying for someone else.

They need to read James 4:13-17, respect the Lord's will. Why don't they note Luke 12:29-34 and go for the moneybags that never wear out?

[RUABerean]

I honestly don't think the heretical preachers of our day even care about all that, because arguably they don't even believe in God. They don't fear the judgement awaiting them, even though the bible clearly warns them of it. It's all just business as usual, fulfilling their dreams by fleecing the ignorant

[jiffyjen]

Wellllllll.................he is telling the truth. I never hear the mentioned pastors talk about living holy as according to the word of God. I have never heard these brethern talk about God's judgement, I only hear these guys talk about "moving into one's season", prosperity, only beautiful things or the famous "get ready get ready get ready".

[CraftDiva]

Then you need to attend a service or do more than watch them on television. It's amazing how the devil can come in and make people see things his way.
