Hillsong- Coastlife stealing from the dead

[Fender1976uk]

The Bible CLEARLY warns us of fake men of God!! why oh why oh why does so many Christians get attracted to the BIG PICTURE CHURCHES, which is Hillsong? is it about God or being part of something massive with loads of light shows and fashion

[phatzky]

No wonder the church burnt down... 1 year ago... But please understand, THIS ISN'T HILLSONG!

[fabobster]

You see one person may have forged the document and it gives a bad name to the whole church.

I set aside a little money for my church and then I set aside some for the poor - to whom the kingdom of God truly belongs to.

[android0011]

so what happened ? did they refund the 90,000 dollars ? they sure would want to

[David309211]

a current affair, biggest spin doctors.

[justpaul62]

Is anyone surprised by this?

[rudeass]

thieves

[LighthouseJC]

Paul did take offerings in advance, so none was needed during his meetings.

Churches FORGET about reputation. We are to be the LIGHT of the WORLD and SALT of the WORLD.

Jesus, Elijah, Fed people without money, Jesus and the Fish.

Reputation.

[boneracks]

What everyone seems to forget is that the Lord and the Apostles turned the world upside down WITHOUT money. The Lord had a stone for a pillow. When the lame man asked Peter for money he said, "Silver and gold have I none but such as I have give I thee". That is Christianity. People were healed and many lives changed, including entire cities WITHOUT money. Lazerus was raised from the dead WITHOUT money.

[LighthouseJC]

And the Disciples said, it would take a years wages to feed 5000 men, Jesus says I'll do it with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish ha ha ha ha ha! AMEN!

[ohthepussies]

The modern day Evangelical Churches are Cash Cows.

The Pastors are the Milkers on double shifts.

[newfagscanttrif0rce]

@ohthepussies

Correction - religion is bullshit. Enjoy your fantasy though.

[quinn127]

dude half these so called pastors are not even born again they get some degree or are raised in the church they have no Holy Spirit they are not a child of God even then. Thats a fact bro.

[katemeller]

As if you can base a fact on what a current affair tells you. They didnt even end up taking any money.

[xRONx89]

@quinn127

That is true! Many will come in sheep's clothing but inwardly are wretched wolves! Oh Lord have mercy on us and fill us for Your glory!

[mercynlove]

well if he does know the bible being a pastor he knows that he will be judged cause God knows and see's all and I think it is horrible what happened.. but God will bring things into light that are hidden and it is the last days and pastors will be exposed that are doing wrong..,. That is why we are not to put our faith in man but in God cause man will let us down..

[steveascension]

It's so sad when the $ becomes more important to Christians ,than doing the right thing.

Give back their money,

Jesus Christ would.

[r00kie87]

Actually, "Jesus Christ" wants you to tithe. That's 10% of everything you own given straight to him before any other expenses are taken into account.

Of course, he didn't take this personally, the catholic church did on his behalf. How convenient.

[katemeller]

they didnt end up taking any money, so clearly steve you agree they are doing the right thing.

[steveascension]

Hi Kate

If they didn't take the $ then that is a good thing.

[steveascension]

Hi Kate "They didnt end up taking any money, so clearly Steve you agree they are doing the right thing." Yes for her relatives, that was a good thing! But Christian's need to hold loosely the $ when Jesus sent out the disciples He sent them out without stipends, robes or superannuation.

[katemeller]

exactly. However this is just annoyed kids that their parents have given money to a church and a current affair spicing it up. Obviously when A Current Affair storms at your doors unexpectedly you cant just say were giving all the money because its not really one persons decision and you would have needed discusst.

[r00kie87]

Hillsong are a bunch of money-hungry bastards, using religion as a mask.

I think their entire business (yes, it's a business, and not a poor one) is a massive cult aimed at the weak minded people that attend their functions. In my opinion, they need to be federally investigated, and shut down.

[triggaz77]

Couldn't agree more. Its scary.

[groovyshamrock]

"Is the church here to worship God almighty or the almighty dollar?" haha that's exactly it...
