Ladies and Genetlemen, my apologies for allowing the bit of spam to leak through. We are tinkering with the site, to fight spam automatically and apparently the switches weren’t exactly right. Again, my apologies. We’ve gone back to a manual mode.

I just came across your website. I must say thank you for saying what many others refuse to say…are scared to say about what is happening in many of our churches today. Just the other day was flipping through the t.v and hit TBN. On ocassion I stop and check out exactly what new stubmling block they have put foward. Low and behold they were transmitting live from New Destiney Church in Orlando FL. TBN is really pushing this church and their pastor Dr. Zachary Timms. One night he had Pimp-Jamal Bryant. It makes me shutter everytime I see how people twist the word of God. If you get a chance please check out Dr. Zachary Timms church website at http://www.NDCC.TV . I searched and searched and could never find their statement of faith.
Interesting. I actually saw Dr. Zachary Timms on TV last night as I flipped through. I have questions also. When I watch it now….it just seems so fake. Ever since my eyes were opened to TBN, as well as some pastors here in LA/Long Beach, CA who are mimicking the very same formula, I can’t stand much of it. Many see this carbon copy formula locally and nationally and believe it is “church”
Dr Timms also mentioned in his sermon concerning the “gift of business” that he has always had at the age of 13/14 when he hustled for a living. I was a little uneasy at that point. He proceeds to mention his former life in how that gift did not glorify God (specifically former life of Hustle).
He goes on to mention his murder charge as a 14 year old, and how he tried to put holes in someone older than him and missed every shot except one which hit the person in the ankle.
I felt him for a bit, I just thought that “business” talk of his former life may have been an attempt for street cred…I don’t know. I know that Paul did it, only when it was necessary, he was a Jew to the Jews in and identified himself as a Roman to those in Rome to present the gospel.
Dr. Timms was on TBN, and his past life was a bit extensive. And he also appeared so rehearsed as he read teleprompters (it appeared) during his message.
I am not aware of where I saw it, (as I have been guilty myself) but Paul (I believe) condemed preparation (as in messages) of the Word to teach, but to be led of the Holy Ghost when presenting the Word.
As for “preperation” in sermons. There is no condemnation in scripture by Paul, but what you are probably remembering is when he said “take not thought of what you will say when you come before the majestrates the Holy Sprit will give you the words.” This was during a time of martyrdom and persecution of the church…being thrown into the lions den. Paul was instructing “be anxious for nothing” Scripture is clear…”Study to show thyself approved. A workman, rightly dividing the word of Truth.”
OH yeah, he capped the dude because he stole his product (missed in the whole round, but one shot hit him in his ankle). I was surprised, I waited for his catch about an offering, but I didn’t catch it. But yet I only watched about 5-8 minutes of the message.
I don’t like fake preachers, I am tired of sweating screaming teachers who add Dr. to their names after then go on yelling people to Christ. I attend very large church pastured by a very famous preacher who is always being ridiculed but I go to his church for the word, no hype. I went there not knowing who he was (9 years ago) and stayed to be taught. Don’t waste my time tearing down other preachers. I don’t particularly care for Timms screaming and theatrics and I don’t like Bryant’s style of preaching, he creeps me out but there are different styles for different people. You all will have to answer to God for calling men of God “pimps”; you don’t know their hearts. If God called them, to preach and teach and they add theatrics and screaming and jumping around like wild banshees, that doesn’t mean God didn’t call them to preach and you will have to count for every judgmental word you put out there and while you’re looking up scriptures to validate or invalidate Timms or anyone else, try looking up the scripture where God struck Miriam with leprosy for questioning Moses’ anointing just because he did something she didn’t agree with.
(MN: Let’s start with Miriam and go from there. For starters, Miriam and her brother challenged Moses for marrying a Cushite, not for preaching bad doctrine or pimping the congregation. These guys are doing and saying things GOD doesn’t agree with. Next, I never claim to know these men and women’s heart. I judge their actions, their statements, and the results of their “ministries”. The result is usually personal enrichment at the expense of the flock. None of the information or comments included on this site deal with screaming and theatrics. It deals with doctrine, exactly what God told us to pay attention to.
By the way, by your measure, using Miriam as an example, isn’t saying the Jamal “creeps me out” doing exactly what Miriam did? I sure hope you don’t get smitten with leprosy! )
You might wish to add Oprah….hey, doesn’t she stand in league with all of them and others like Dollar or Bryant? Just a thought….
(MN: Oprah is not a Christian, doesn’t pretend to be one, has standards that no one can mistake for Christian. She is not a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She also doesn’t try to fool people into giving her money so her ministry can continue and so the giver can be blessed.)
What are you, eleven??? No, saying he creeps me out means he creeps me out, that’s MY thing not his. Saying someone is creepy is not attacking their anointing or character. (MN: Nothing like a thoughtful retort. Calling someone “creepy” isn’t making a judgment about their character? IT sounds judgmental to me.)
The point was that I am not nuts about everybody and I don’t believe everyone’s doctrine but you don’t know who God called. Here’s a wild suggestion Mr. Christian, how about PRAYING for people who you feel are confused. You’ve been forgiven and now it’s your DUTY to attack every “wrong” person because God doesn’t know they’re wrong????????? He needs your help to attack people? Yeah………….that’s biblical. (MN: It’s partially biblical. I do pray for your pimp and the rest of them. But I also warn the sheep who haven’t been trapped by them or who are willing to escape. How is telling people wha tthey say and comparng that to Scripture attacking them? Afterall, warning people about them IS in fact biblical - start with ROmans 16:17 and work from there. )
I can see you are too self righteous to see your error and that’s o.k., I didn’t really expect you to get a revelation and say “you’re right Nicole, I should not be attacking these people, I don’t know them nor their hearts”. (MN: But it is easy enough to see their works and compare those works to the Bible. YOur pastor preaches that Jesus had to suffer in hell for our sins. He preaches that Jesus wasn’t always God but that he became God. I don’t have to see his heart to make an assessment of this. )If God judged only actions, would David have been a man after his own heart? (MN: David repented. And his household paid the price for his sin. Read all that follows after the prophet confronted David. These people haven’t repented. How do I know they haven’t repented? Because they keep saying the same things. Behavior is at least an indicator of repenting. ) If God judged only actions would Saul have become Paul? (MN:Saul repented. Your pimp has not. ) So Creflo and Hinns actions/doctrine don’t line up with your UNDERSTANDING of doctrine so they are pimps? Is it possible they are right and you and (cough) Al Sharpton are wrong. (MN:Can you really fix your mouth to say that Jesus wasn’t God? Can you really fix your mouth to say that Jesus had to suffer in hell to pay for our sins. If you can, then I wouldn’t expect you to understand the issues here.) So I guess YOUR actions are flawless Mr. Christ? I suspect you want to be judged by your heart which “means well” but then you want to judge everyone else by their actions. (MN:When did I ever say I want to be judged by a different standard or that I am flawless. It’s interesting though that in all of you ‘arguments’ you talk about people who have offended God but were used by Him anyway. Are you saying that Creflo is offensive but God is using him anyway? If not, why the reference to David and Paul?)
I had no plan to ever visit this site again, let alone respond to any reply. Actually, I didn’t even think you would ever have replied let alone replied so quickly. I hadn’t even logged off yet. This confirms what I suspected, not only are you a hater, but you are a hater with no life. (MN:I definitley have a life, a wife, four children, my own company,…but I digress. Let me make sure I understand this: I address issues, you get personal, and I’m the hater. Go figure. )
In the 9 years I’ve been saved (ad at World Changer) , I had a miraculous debt cancellation of over 50k, I was healed of rheumatoid arthritis and a brain tumor that was located in an ER became a cyst. I went from a cursing hateful angry judgmental person (kind of like you seem to be) to a woman who is so happy to be alive and whole that I have COMPASSION on others who don’t hit the mark. I’m not perfect but I am redeemed so I’m gonna leave you to your bitterness as I go have a wonderful evening in my huge home in an Atlanta suburb, where my handsome husband and obedient son are cooking dinner while we have millions in the bank, BMWs in the garage (all paid for of course) where tomorrow I will lounge around or maybe go to the spa and get a massage or maybe I can do that Tuesday or Wednesday or any day since I retired five years ago at the age of 33 from Corporate America only three years after joining World Changers church international and getting in the word of God as opposed to delving into my pastors pocket and tearing him down. You see my friend, the word works if you work it, God wants us all to live life abundantly and if sitting under Creflo Dollars tutelage for 9 years has taught me anything its that as I go up the ladder of success and do it Gods way (which is what he teaches), the ones who didn’t have the integrity and tenacity to do it will try to tear me down for doing it. (MN: Is it just me or does anyone else get the feeling that she is not quite telling the truth?)
When I look back on all God has done for me, I cant help but thank Creflo Dollar for preaching the word honestly so I could snap out of the religious teachings that kept me bound mad and broke (kind of like you). I cant speak for anyone else but my God made me rich, he made me whole and he made me free but Creflo Dollar, while he may have flaws as we all do, preaches the unadulterated word of God and you cant take it cause you’re too immature. I guess you need the word that says Jesus is loooooooooooooove, God is looooooooooooooooove. Blabidy blah. Later Hater. (MN:Let me understand this. God does it and you thank Creflo? Creepy. )
WOW!!!!! A saved, Spirit-filled millionaire captain of industry with enough time left to find and keep a handsome husband and enough time to raise an obedient son who no doubt oversees the maintenance of her BMWs while her handsome husband cleans the mansion so she can get massages in her retirement in the bloom of youth.
what an awesome testimony, i’m sure the Lord will be impressed with your Beemer and your mansion on the day of judgement. BTW, here’s some food for thought.
“14And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17Because thou sayest, I AM RICH, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”
I have visited World Changers and I won’t even comment on the character of most of the members. Needless to say, it isn’t very nice. I agree with Melvin…I think you are leaving a few things out and wildly exaggerating on a couple of details. People who truly have prospered do not have the need to advertise it, unless you are WOF or COGIC. Those people tend to advertise everything. I bet you sell vitamins to the congregation (I had 5 people attempt to sell me some stuff when I visited.) What does this mean, “the word works if you work it”? Sounds like you are kneading bread or working a scam. I found that most of the people that attended that church to be very pretentious, yet broke. It’s also interesting that they won’t allow you to work in the helps ministry if you need any assistance. They claim that you don’t have enough faith. I know quite a bit about your church.
Why must we be silent and allow these people to continue to hurt people? If Cashflow’s method is so foolproof, why isn’t the entire congregation multi-millionaires? Why doesn’t Cashflow hand out bags of money to the derelicts running around the Underground, on Metropolitan (Stewart Ave.), in the rural areas where people are still living in shanties? There is something wrong with this picture. Better yet, why don’t you “go and sell all you have” and give it to the poor. You seem to know the formula. It should take you longer than a year to recover. Then you can write a book and make more money. Document your adventures (written and video) and make a mint showing how God truly works.
Hey Nicole, I sure hope you’re praying for melvin, because the attack you are putting on him is creepy, and scary, this from a spirit filled woman, who is tellin us not to attack creflo, and the rest of the preachers who dupe us for our money.
You might wish to add the other countless examples on what Jesus himself made conerning wealth/materialism (ex. Luke 12:13-21, Luke 16:19-31)….and perhaps a big study on the Life of King Solomon: the man who Had it all and it still meant nothing in the end(Ecclesiastes 2-5 and Ecclesiastes 12)
Feel sorry for the poor woman who gave all she had to the Lord (Luke 21:1-4), or all of those who do want to reflect Christ’s love with acts of service for the Lord and and yet are neve noticed if the standard is materialism, shiny cars, diamond rings and Bling/things (Matthew 25:31-46) ….Pray for us, please…..
Wow mel, this lady is an even bigger reason why we have to continue this. For someone to butcher the word of God like that to prove that she’s right, and she’s dead wrong, we have to keep contending. And she stated that she went where she went for the word, and her idea of the word is using scripture out of context completely. Then she judges us, and Jamal while tellin us not to judge, the self refuting argument of dont judge me.
Who are you, the holy spirit? I don’t know if God called them and neither do you. (MN:It’s not a matter of whether He called them. It’s a matter of whether or not they are preaching the truth. )Maybe he called them and they added their own style and understanding and they don’t seek God before they preach. Maybe he called them and they don’t study or maybe they are doing the best they can. You don’t know WHO God called. God called Joyce Meyer in her 30’s and she preached in daisy dukes blowing cigarette smoke in the meetings - but she rich too so I guess she’s a pimp too? (MN:Yeah. But not because she preached in preached in Daisy DUkes or smoked. Not even because she’s rich. )
You must be really unhappy cause you’re spirit wreaks of turmoil. I’m done with this foolishness.
Nicole stated, “Maybe he called them and they added their own style and understanding and they don’t seek God before they preach. Maybe he called them and they don’t study or maybe they are doing the best they can.”
Your words will have more of a profound effect (the making of a desired impression) on people than anything that we may have said. THANK YOU.
Everytime she speaks, her words say, “CONTINUE TO CONTEND FOR THE FAITH, THERE ARE MORE OF ME OUT THERE”
Thats crazy to say the things that she said, and not even flinch at the idea of any of that not being of God.
it is so interesting that somone would get on here and add Isuch foolish comments. Nicole, I pray for these brothers and sisters that preach false doctrine and I will be praying for you as well. Why? Because it is clear you have no idea who Jesus is. Seriously, you need to check yourself. My goodness look at all of the things you said about this man (Melvin) simply because he made comments about what your Pastor does as opposed to who he is. The Bible teaches in Galatians that if anyone preaches another Gospel that that man ought to be cursed. What this site does is warn others that believe in and partake in a cursed doctrine with cursed pastors. It is truly a shame that you simply do not understand that.
I find it interesting that you would defend your Pastor so vigorously and judge others while doing so. But what you fail to do while judging others is consider the points that they are making. For example, at your church, you are taught that “2007 will be like heaven” and that it is a time of increase. God wants to give us riches beyond our hearts desire, right? Wrong. Let’s see what scripture has to say about rich people:
James 2:5-6
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
1 Tim 6:4-9
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Hmmm seems that God is not in the business of making people rich. Not by any means. Not by some anointing or anything else. This anointing of Increase sounds a lot like “gain” well God says he is not about that in a monetary sense but rather in a spiritual sense.
I think you should point Elder Henry Thrower who posted on 2007-01-05 14:49:36 on the Jamal-Harrison Bryant - Creflo Wannabe subject to Nicole’s post.
Maybe when Elder Henry Thrower reads the fruit’s of what Creflo Dollar bears he will start knowing those he should be praying, lamenting or weeping for.
I dont know about you guys but When I read Nicole’s post there is a sort of holy anger against this false teachers. They have totally messed up this poor womans concept of the LORD Jesus Christ and His SALVATION.
It’s all good Mel, I didn’t want the fuzz(feds) comin on here trying to catch you up. Nor did I want the pimped to have a reason to hate.

Please direct me to where that scripture may be.

No disrespect, but if you have to go to http://www.sermons.com like some of these false teachers out there do, then where’s the Holy Spirit?

Oh, and you’re assuming God “called” them. Did God also call Reverend Ike, Peter Poppoff and Rober Tilton?
You might wish to add Oprah….hey, doesn’t she stand in league with all of them and others like Dollar or Bryant? Just a thought….
(MN: Oprah is not a Christian, doesn’t pretend to be one, has standards that no one can mistake for Christian. She is not a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She also doesn’t try to fool people into giving her money so her ministry can continue and so the giver can be blessed. )
What are you, eleven??? No, saying he creeps me out means he creeps me out, that’s MY thing not his. Saying someone is creepy is not attacking their anointing or character.

In the 9 years I’ve been saved (ad at World Changer) , I had a miraculous debt cancellation of over 50k, I was healed of rheumatoid arthritis and a brain tumor that was located in an ER became a cyst. I went from a cursing hateful angry judgmental person (kind of like you seem to be) to a woman who is so happy to be alive and whole that I have COMPASSION on others who don’t hit the mark.

So tell me - are Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons wrong about their doctrine? Or does it even matter?
WOW!!!!! A saved, Spirit-filled millionaire captain of industry with enough time left to find and keep a handsome husband and enough time to raise an obedient son who no doubt oversees the maintenance of her BMWs while her handsome husband cleans the mansion so she can get massages in her retirement in the bloom of youth.
Sounds too good to be true…………don’t it?
what an awesome testimony, i’m sure the Lord will be impressed with your Beemer and your mansion on the day of judgement. BTW, here’s some food for thought.
Rev 3:14-19
“14And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17Because thou sayest, I AM RICH, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”
AMEN!!!

People who truly have prospered do not have the need to advertise it, unless you are WOF or COGIC. Those people tend to advertise everything. I bet you sell vitamins to the congregation (I had 5 people attempt to sell me some stuff when I visited.) What does this mean, “the word works if you work it”? Sounds like you are kneading bread or working a scam. I found that most of the people that attended that church to be very pretentious, yet broke. It’s also interesting that they won’t allow you to work in the helps ministry if you need any assistance. They claim that you don’t have enough faith. I know quite a bit about your church.
Why must we be silent and allow these people to continue to hurt people? If Cashflow’s method is so foolproof, why isn’t the entire congregation multi-millionaires? Why doesn’t Cashflow hand out bags of money to the derelicts running around the Underground, on Metropolitan (Stewart Ave.), in the rural areas where people are still living in shanties? There is something wrong with this picture. Better yet, why don’t you “go and sell all you have” and give it to the poor. You seem to know the formula. It should take you longer than a year to recover. Then you can write a book and make more money. Document your adventures (written and video) and make a mint showing how God truly works.
Hey Nicole, I sure hope you’re praying for melvin, because the attack you are putting on him is creepy, and scary, this from a spirit filled woman, who is tellin us not to attack creflo, and the rest of the preachers who dupe us for our money.
binks
C’mon Nicole…..
:lol:
Seriously? Why do you suppose that the material you “say” you have is a proof of Godliness and his blessing (approval)?
(1 Timothy 6:6, 8)
Contentment. (Greek-arkeo) Meaning Satisfied, to be enough.
Raiment - from a derivative of skepas (a covering). Clothing. Let us be content with whatever food and (raiment) clothing we have.
You might wish to add the other countless examples on what Jesus himself made conerning wealth/materialism (ex. Luke 12:13-21, Luke 16:19-31)….and perhaps a big study on the Life of King Solomon: the man who Had it all and it still meant nothing in the end(Ecclesiastes 2-5 and Ecclesiastes 12)
Feel sorry for the poor woman who gave all she had to the Lord (Luke 21:1-4), or all of those who do want to reflect Christ’s love with acts of service for the Lord and and yet are neve noticed if the standard is materialism, shiny cars, diamond rings and Bling/things (Matthew 25:31-46) ….Pray for us, please…..
another example that people aren’t studying. The bible is more than just “no weapon formed against me shall prosper”.
Wow mel, this lady is an even bigger reason why we have to continue this. For someone to butcher the word of God like that to prove that she’s right, and she’s dead wrong, we have to keep contending. And she stated that she went where she went for the word, and her idea of the word is using scripture out of context completely. Then she judges us, and Jamal while tellin us not to judge, the self refuting argument of dont judge me.
binks
BE VERY CAREFUL PUTTING YOUR MOUTH ON GOD’S
PEOPLE.NO ONE IS PERFECT ,ARE YOU?
Concern, this is the kinda stuff we are talking about
I never put my mouth on God’s people………they leave an aftertaste.
Who are you, the holy spirit? I don’t know if God called them and neither do you. (MN: It’s not a matter of whether He called them. It’s a matter of whether or not they are preaching the truth. )Maybe he called them and they added their own style and understanding and they don’t seek God before they preach. Maybe he called them and they don’t study or maybe they are doing the best they can. You don’t know WHO God called. God called Joyce Meyer in her 30’s and she preached in daisy dukes blowing cigarette smoke in the meetings - but she rich too so I guess she’s a pimp too? (MN: Yeah. But not because she preached in preached in Daisy DUkes or smoked. Not even because she’s rich. )
You must be really unhappy cause you’re spirit wreaks of turmoil. I’m done with this foolishness.
This is a mouthful by itself.
Nicole stated, “Maybe he called them and they added their own style and understanding and they don’t seek God before they preach. Maybe he called them and they don’t study or maybe they are doing the best they can.”
Your words will have more of a profound effect (the making of a desired impression) on people than anything that we may have said. THANK YOU.
Everytime she speaks, her words say, “CONTINUE TO CONTEND FOR THE FAITH, THERE ARE MORE OF ME OUT THERE”
Thats crazy to say the things that she said, and not even flinch at the idea of any of that not being of God.
Wow we have our work cut out for us.
binks
it is so interesting that somone would get on here and add Isuch foolish comments. Nicole, I pray for these brothers and sisters that preach false doctrine and I will be praying for you as well. Why? Because it is clear you have no idea who Jesus is. Seriously, you need to check yourself. My goodness look at all of the things you said about this man (Melvin) simply because he made comments about what your Pastor does as opposed to who he is. The Bible teaches in Galatians that if anyone preaches another Gospel that that man ought to be cursed. What this site does is warn others that believe in and partake in a cursed doctrine with cursed pastors. It is truly a shame that you simply do not understand that.
I find it interesting that you would defend your Pastor so vigorously and judge others while doing so. But what you fail to do while judging others is consider the points that they are making. For example, at your church, you are taught that “2007 will be like heaven” and that it is a time of increase. God wants to give us riches beyond our hearts desire, right? Wrong. Let’s see what scripture has to say about rich people:
James 2:5-6
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
1 Tim 6:4-9
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is] certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
Hmmm seems that God is not in the business of making people rich. Not by any means. Not by some anointing or anything else. This anointing of Increase sounds a lot like “gain” well God says he is not about that in a monetary sense but rather in a spiritual sense.
Hi Melvin,
I think you should point Elder Henry Thrower who posted on 2007-01-05 14:49:36 on the Jamal-Harrison Bryant - Creflo Wannabe subject to Nicole’s post.
Maybe when Elder Henry Thrower reads the fruit’s of what Creflo Dollar bears he will start knowing those he should be praying, lamenting or weeping for.
I dont know about you guys but When I read Nicole’s post there is a sort of holy anger against this false teachers. They have totally messed up this poor womans concept of the LORD Jesus Christ and His SALVATION.
G2, I will say that (through the length of your posts) I appreciate the apparent sincerity you apply in dealing with everyone.
Keep learning & look toward the heavens.
Very Glad to know it blessed you…it blesses me…Later….
