Hi Ray,
i had time to sleep on it and this is my final conclusion about John Hagee he is the pastor of cornerstone church which classifies him as a man of God, being a prayer leader i usually get to know pastors pretty good and the things they deal with they have a tough job and they usually always have those people who are never pleased no matter what they do,there always finding fault with whatever and that is just a fact,and one of the things i have learned about such issues is this,even if spiritual leadership is wrong it would be far wiser to pray for them and let God handle them, kind of what David did with Saul ,David could have cut Sauls throat in the cave but he chose not to touch God's annointed,as far as titheing is concerned i agree w/ pastor hagee i have been on both sides of that issue and what he says is truth if you have such a high respect for our Creator honoring God w/ 10% shouldnt be a big deal and i feel most people who dont have made bad choices in their life and choose to blame somebody else for their mistakes instead taking responsibility for their bad choices,its easier to blame somebody else,I know when i screw up and take responsibility for my actions God blesses me and helps me through my mistake and that is when we learn to walk by faith,obedience always produces Godly results......
Dear Jon:
"...every boy, and every girl who dies without knowing Jesus Christ spends an eternity in a city where the fire is never quenched and the worm dieth not." (John Hagee)
"For ever and ever all you're going to hear are the screams and sobs and suffering for ever and for ever and for ever ... and it's justice." (John Hagee)
Jon, you have no idea...............YOU HAVE NO IDEA of the Judgment this man will go through in the Great White Throne/Lake of Fire Judgment if he does not bitterly repent of such unscriptural heresy and blasphemy!
You state: "they have a tough job and they usually always have those people who are never pleased" Are you telling me that the spiritual widow of whom I send her email to you, and who was treated like TRASH by Hagee's Ministry, should have been "PLEASED?" Let me show you what Jesus Christ has to say about men who "DEVOUR WIDOWS HOUSES" and live like multi-multi-millionaires while threatening them with CURSES FROM GOD if they don't "pay their MONEY tithes." Since when was "money" ever titheable? Here are Jesus' words, not mine:
JESUS UPBRAIDS THE CHURCH LEADERS FOR THEIR GROSS SINS
[selections from Matthew 23]
"But WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES… FOR YOU SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN…
…THEY BIND HEAVY BURDENS and GRIEVOUS to be born, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but will not move them with ONE OF THEIR FINGERS
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES… you DEVOUR WIDOW’S HOUSES… you shall receive the greater damnation.
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES…
WOE unto you, ye BLIND GUIDES…
You FOOLS AND BLIND…
You FOOLS AND BLIND…
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! You… have omitted… JUDGMENT, MERCY, and FAITH…
You BLIND GUIDES, which strain out a gnat, and SWALLOW A CAMEL.
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES… within they are full of EXTORTION AND EXCESS.
You BLIND PHARISEES…
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! You are FULL OF DEAD MEN’S BONES, and ALL UNCLEANESS… and HYPOCRISY and INIQUITY…
WOE unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES!… you are the children of them which KILLED the prophets. FILL YOU UP then the measure of your fathers.
You SERPENTS, you GENERATION OF SNAKES… you KILL AND CRUCIFY… you SCOURGE in your synagogues… Behold your house is left unto you DESOLATE"!!
God be with you, Ray
