Mr. Manning is a pimp. But he has such a subtle form of spiritual poison, that you’ve got to be extremely careful and listen to him very closely. He’s the type you must analyze vigorously or he will rope you in.

It’s interesting that in our recent discussions here we have found 2 pimp-busters who are themselves in the pimping business. (Donnie Swaggart and Manning.)

Manning has many clips on YouTube. Here’s one. Just click on the arrow in the center of the picture. It’s about six minutes long.





First, let’s cover his tithing talk.

Did you notice his lie in that video, that Paul took tithes to Peter? Please show me the scripture that says this? I’ve searched and could never find anything to support such a claim. Never did Paul mention tithing ever, because it was part of the old law, that was removed with the new covenant. Manning is running a Protestant scam with a Catholic top-spin on it. (Notice he made it appear that Paul was subservient to Peter, rather than Paul and Peter being brothers in Christ.)

Manning says the tithe is for the “priest”. Who does he consider to be a priest that can receive tithes? HIMSELF. He’s just knocking out competition, while putting a noble “give to shelters” angle on it. Observe his work in the video below.



Near the end of that video he says:

But I do receive you warmly as your priest. And I receive you with the power of the Blood of Jesus to forgive you.

He sounds like a total Catholic priest with that statement. Why must I go to him? Why can’t I turn to Jesus myself, since Christ is our High Priest who supersedes the old priesthood? Read Hebrews 7.

We now follow the one to whom the Father declared:

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever…

Hebrews 1:8. Yes Jesus like his Father is God and the Holy Spirit completes the Trinity. We can seek out instruction, fellowship and organize minus someone claiming we still need a form of Levitical priest to intercede on our behalf.

Not to say we should not have a pastor to seek instruction from, but Manning wants to play a form of priest where he collects the spoils. While he’s eliminated others from eligibility. Check out this page on his site. Check out this page on his site.

As a member, you pledge to send your tithes to the ministry. The Hon. James David Manning will become your pastor. As such, he will pray, intercede, and cover for you on a daily basis.

Can I borrow a bullock? What time is the burnt offering scheduled for? If we are going to play old covenant, let’s not half step! Notice how old covenant doctrine (the law) is cherry-picked over and twisted for enrichment of himself.

And it gets worse, much worse! He’s running the Widow’s Mite scam!!! (from that same page)

Widow’s Mites Click Here
Luke 21:2
As a member, you understand that no gift is too small. Thusly, you give a gift of any size to help support the work of the ministry.

If you don’t know the truth about the Widow’s mite and how it’s used as a total scam, I’ve got this post that I really pray helps you.

His bio says he has a Master of Divinity Degree. I thought seminary was supposed to help root out bad doctrine and result in ministers that held to true doctrine. Now Manning , so you too can learn the tricks of the trade. Will this be the next Pimp U?

King Totally Good Joseph??? And if you fall for that one, you can order some product from him where he claims to have had “his prison experience with the Lord Jesus Christ.”

He claims there is a “Purgatory” and he’s interceding for people there. Oh, but you’ve got to “order” the pamphlet that offers the details where he’ll prove this mystery to you :D . For only $12.00. My Bible speaks of Heaven and Hell, but no “Purgatory”. I’ve seen people attempt to twist scripture to claim there is a “Purgatory”, but I’ve never found the place in my Bible as something that some people are going to now or in the future.

Manning uses his web site as a sort of teaser, to peddle his twisted words. Sort of like Paul warned about in 2 Corinthians 2:17.

Christians want honest instruction in sound doctrine, as in fully Biblically supported. Unfortunately, Manning is not helping in that regard.

Thanks Melvin, I could not put a finger totally on it but I felt something wasn’t right with this guy. I listened to all of his you tube clips and was about to do more research but I think you pretty much answered my questions.

is it me or is manning a catholic minus mary? he believes in purgatory, the catholic view of the priesthood without celibacy, and that’s what i’ve gathered from his numerous clips on YouTube.

i’m a bible study-type guy, so naturally i’m not a huge fan of televangelists, but this guy kills it like we’d say here in london, and people buy it.

officially i wanna ask: WHERE ARE THE BIBLE STUDENTS AT? i mean, where are all the theologically-homed, bible-literate folks. i’m 16, and have no right a to talk about adults this way, but i’ll say it anyway…PEOPLE HAVE BECOME SO STUPID (mind my language…) WHEN IT COMES TO TV PREACHERS.

May God help us!!!!!

Just stay in that Bible, no matter how old you get into those teenaged years and later, don’t let yourself be found not spending time in it and you’ll be in great shape.

You’re already able to discern some of the false stuff out here. We need more coming up like you.

Anonymous………..are you really this obtuse, or are you putting us on?? Seriously, do you use a drool cup to keep the spittle off your keyboard??

WHERE did I say to vote along party lines, or advise you in that direction???
Clue one……….I didn’t. I said to VOTE THE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES (which you claim the Bible doesn’t possess in reference to Democracy……….not surprising considering the dearth of knowledge you’ve displayed thus far).

Also, WHERE do you get the idea that I am responsible for abortion and gay rights?? Clue two………I’ve NEVER supported a candidate that supported ANY such position, and in fact worked for a Christian Crisis Pregnancy Center, and have been active against the homosexual agenda AND abortion politically.

Where did you get these revelations?? Are you a modern day prophet?? Is God speaking to you audibly?? Do you wear a tin-foil hat?? You’re even less accurate than Kim Clement or Benny Hinn.

How you came to these conclusions without a scintilla of evidence or knowledge is truly amazing………well, it WOULD be amazing if you hadn’t already made a habit of posting nonsense. Therefore, it gets downgraded from amazing to simply pathetic.

BTW, you DO need SpellCheck, as well as some program which introduces you to the revolutionary concepts of paragraphs, punctuation, and capitalization.

Well, at least the mystery of why you don’t put your name on your posts is solved. I wouldn’t put my name on drivel like that either.

Your words’ Mr. Gary were (Those principles tell us whether we should support a Party that supports killing the unborn, the normalization of homosexuality) I never said anything about supporting a Party that supports killing the unborn or supporting homosexuality you did, I asked a question about democracy and the believers responsibilities, you gave me the above foolishness because you have no justification for anyone that will not vote principals (prop’s to you). You seen to think your interpretation of Ps 1:1 covers the issue, excuse me while I wipe the drool from the keyboard, what’s the biblical principle for war, economics, foreign policy, North American trade agreement, and unemployment (please chapter and verse). Also I said Christians like you that don’t vote are the reason for the current situation, if you vote then please excuse yourself, if not then wave your bible and quote Ps 1:1. The nasty things you wrote I’ll ignore, I don’t need to trade insults to feel good about myself, But in love, I’m sure you think it helps mask whatever issues your dealing with, it doesn’t , P.S I am a prophet brother as well you should be Rev 19:10

Hey Illiterate (finally a fitting name……….congrats), these are YOUR words.

“it’s so called Christians like you that have allowed laws like abortion and gay rights to survive and guide this nation, then with your bible, waving your cross claim that it gives you the right to turn your back, your cowards, Christians like you need to ask god for forgiveness.”

And you have the gall to mention my RESPONSE to that drivel?? Please………. here’s a new word for ya.

“Hypocrite”.

BTW, your reading comprehension skills are pathetic. Ever notice I have to point out to you the obvious that EVERYONE ELSE can read??

Let’s try again Sparky……….WHERE did you read that I don’t vote??In fact, I said just the opposite. No wonder you’re pimped. If you can’t decipher a simple post, what hope do you have of reading the Bible??

And notice I said A PARTY. Not any SPECIFIC Party. ANY PARTY (or candidate supported by such a Party) that defines itself by advocating rebellion against the principles of the Word.

As to the rest of your inanities,the Bible does indeed address economics (it advocates private property, personal ownership of lands, giving to the poor, inheritance rights over government confiscation, personal financial responsibility,limited taxation and limited government), just war (see Abraham and his 300 servants, David, Joshua,Moses, etc) NAFTA (as in with whom one should make alliances, trusting in the arm of man, etc), unemployment (caring for the needy, yet not feeding the lazy), etc, etc, etc.

These are PRINCIPLES not contained in a single verse, but spread broadly throughout the text of Scripture. If you had bothered to read the Bible rather than have it pimp-spooned to you, you would know this.

As to my “issues”, I certainly have issues with those who come here advocating for their favorite pimp (as you did admit that you attended one of the “churches” run by one of the “ministers” highlighted here) rather than advocating for Truth.

I certainly have issues with those who advocate the unBiblical pimp-mechanism of the tithe, then when asked to examine such bunk in the light of Scripture refuse to do so.

And I definitely have issues with those call themselves “prophets”, claiming to discern the voice of God when they can’t even decipher a simple post, nor defend their excrementatious false doctrine when confronted.

You should stop while you’re behind………though I consider it the mercy of God that you’re too obtuse to know how badly you’re embarrassing yourself.

Im sorry but i gotta say something about this. This guy is FULL of error. He really believes he is a priest after the order of Aaron? This guy is absurd. Hebrews 7 says that the Levitical priesthood is done away with. It seems this guy is ruling over the people in his congregation and causing them to believe what he wants them to inorder to keep them in bondage.
It seems strange dont you think that you can only see women and children behind him? Who are those women? What is their role? I do not trust this man, and his spirit unsettles me.

He is trying to justify HIMSELF recieving the tithe by belittling women. I also do not believe it is bibilically correct for a woman to be a pastor over men, however he is twisting scripture to enforce his point.
Where does it say that Satan told Eve she could be a priest? What was the need for a priest in the garden when there was no sin? He says Eve had everything she needed including money? This man is not serious and neither are his congregation. I get very weary when someone makes statements that are not backedup by the bible. Thats why so many people get decieved.
This man is very painful to listen too. I pray he will see truth and his congregation too.

Please pray for this man. He is full of rage and anger (certainly not Godly anger). I listened to him one morning and he sort of got my attention, but after listening for about 5 minutes, I realized that he has a spirit of division (and possibly envy) but of course he will deny it. Oh by the way, most of the so called men of God that he has pointed out to be false prohets I agree with, but the sad thing is SO IS HE>he might mean well, but he is entangled in satans grip for sure. We need to pray ya’ll, we have to look to Jesus (and Him only to lead us into all truths by HIS Holy Spirit, as HE said he would. God Bless you all. And Mr. Manning if you read this know that I am writing this in love. CHILL OUT! Whose really leading you? Please ask yourself that question. Use your platform to lift up Jesus….the Lord will do the rest. OK? You’ve made your point.

Someone becomes your pastor when you join their flock, not when you pay a certain amount of money. If that was the case Piper would be my shepherd from all the books I have bought with his name on them!!

Oh, and the whole Paul taking tithes to Peter bit. He got half of it right: Paul did collect offerings from churches during the days of the famine and take them to Jerusalem. Scripture does not say that he gave it to Peter though, or that Peter was considered in anyway a priest above Paul.

2007-04-30 10:11:20

You are correct about Paul’s actions. Manning made it “half right” which actually makes it totally wrong how he twisted it. He wants not only you to feel that you should accept him as your “priest” and pay him tithes, but that the other pimps should as well.

To me he’s trying to restore the Levitical priesthood with himself as the high priest, looking to take Blacks via Harlem to the promised land.

It’s the old, Blacks were slaves, Jews were slaves, let’s do it just like them pimp game.

And look at what he’s doing to the children.

He’s making his own line of “priests” in the order of foolishness :D .

This is a cult. This is a spiritual abusive ministry (very controling). The people need to be very careful, especially the children.This is not of God, at all and it only took me one time to see it. This man is of the Devil… period! All one needs to do is visit that site ones to see what He really is. He’s worst then the Dollars and Longs. He is very very evil. It’s not all about money, it’s about control, this is as I mentioned before more on the cult side. He probably could get those adults especially the women and children to do anything. He is one of the ones Matthew 7 teaches about. We need to pray pray pray!!

I may be wrong for this one; however, on a scale is it wrong for me to say that the majority of people who get manipulated into these situations happen to be black or am I wrong. Even when I see Benny Hinn, Paula White, Ken Copeland and the like, their biggest supporters and defenders happen to be of black nationality. If me theory is right, then why is it so?

(MN: You would be wrong. It’s just that many of the bigger pimps I’m familiar with are BLack. But interestingly, most of the Black pimps got their start studying under or emulating one of the white pimps. Examples: Ken Copeland spawned Creflo and Thompson. )

Mr.Woods:

I noticed that too! Remember Jim Jones and The People’s Temple. Most of the people involved with him were of color. I guess black people (some not all) love to go to church and fellowship with these types of personalities! It does not matter if the doctrine is sound or not!

Not only is it it scary, but it is actually dangerous also. You are in danger of losing your soul,following behind some of these mentally unstable people!

One would get the impression by watching the studio audience of the TBN daily fundraiser that a lot of the people caught in these movements are black. I don’t think blacks are the majority, just that they are visible.

2007-04-30 19:17:14

Their studios for their latest pimp-a-thon were in Atlanta, so the audience was simply a reflection of the general population of the area.

Watch pimping on stations like the Inspiration Network when they do their pimp-a-thon from NC and you see a totally different scene.

Everybody is falling for this stuff. The only thing they usually have in common is that they often are somehow vulnerable. The most vulnerable are the ones who get played the most and they come in all shapes, sizes and colors. The ones the church is commanded to protect and look out for are the main ones these vultures dine on.

And then nuts write (and I’m sure Melvin gets it too, because what you see here is NOTHING compared to what supposed saints send in private) complaining that we expose these pimps. Many folks are so twisted up, they work for the devil and don’t even know it.

I have to agree with BK, this has all the bells and whistles that are associated in the making of a genuine cult. His VERY bizarre doctrine is a mix of Roman Catholicism, protestant, Judaism and who knows what else. However, I think the Benjamins are playing a big role here also, just look at what he charges for his “material” in his web store. Someone should inform the Honorable-Pastor-Priest David Manning PHD that it’s Melchizedek and not Melechizedek

2007-04-30 19:20:48

You and BK are correct, I also feel he’s running a cult. However, there are so many other nuts out there, that he’s able to almost make himself appear to be the good guy by playing off them.

They have all forgotten God, how do you use the public to get popular rich, and then gang up with the celebrities like Donald Trumph who has more class than they do now Donald Trumph never got a donation for his buildings nor does he Donald go around bragging about jets and mansions while stepping on the poor with negative comments, and then the $prosperity preacher hooks up with the popular Celebrity Icons that did not make them popular or rich nor did they “rich celebrities normal people” take or give donations, and now they want to look and appear to be better more valued by God than they average Joe public, they are all sick now most of them TV preachers, it is sad that so many innocent people are being played by these hateful preachers that preach now that everybody is stupid that don’t have Money, the innocent people who support this are like I used to be, the congregation want to gain approval from the rich who hate the poor and if you knew what I knew they will not approve you unless you all ready got rich, and agree with all of their nasty hateful ideas “evil imaginations about their poor congregation/partners,-, and they preach that our ancestors slaves were un educated stupid and poor for being slaves back then, was everybody stupid enough to send them money and help them become rich now, only to now hate the congregation/partners that helped made their sorry poor no talent selves now rich and hateful, they, the Prosperity preacher may have material wealth, but they no longer have God!!!! You can have both, but the Preachers now days think that it is all about them and their no talent favors from the Lord!!!

Mr. Woods, (let me say Brother Woods, I save Mr. for a certain passa) think back to the days of TBN and you will remember predominately white crowds and white circus ring leaders. However, as all good businessmen and women do, these pimps recognized an untapped market and began to trot out the black faces. This is not a white thing or a black thing. For them it is a green thing. For us it is a sad thing!

2007-04-30 19:27:17

The people they hired for the pimp-a-thon are running the fastest growing churches in various parts of the nation. And folks like Osteen and Rick Warren don’t do pimp-a-thons.

But Paul and Jan call those other folks and their eyes get all glossy. Did anybody hear Medina Pullings talking about how overjoyed she was that Jan called her? And I’m sure many of you saw Jamal Bryant bragging that he’d made it from working a supposed church in a nightclub to being on TBN.

You know what I saw that lady Pullings. She was a mess. What was she trying to speak about? all she did was say the same thig over and over. It was irritating for the simple fact this lady had no substance. She also, it appears got close to TBN because she “gave” a Large donation to TBN. This lady needs to go and sit down somewhere.

IndependentConservative, I agree with you. I’ve noticed that for awhile now. When certain guest are interviewed (especially the Blacks) during the Praise show they all give thanks to Paul and Jan like they have arrived. Like this is the ultimate on earth to be on TBN ( I have made it!). They treat them like gods and why beacuse they see it as this is my ticket to the big time. I need to stay on their good side to be on TV around the world. If they knew any better they would be ashame to be associated with such nonsense.

If Simon were judging the new American pimp he might say something like this. Pullings was dreaddful as the new pimpette-she needs to go back and get more training and try again next year. He probably would say Bryant is just superb.He is probably the best new pimp he has seen in a long time. Oh Munsey would be considered one of the special guests for the pimp contestants to sit and listen in how to prey on the emotions and give false prophecies on “how to” pimp the people with babble. And Long would come back to show the new Idol Pimps how it’s supposed to be done. Just an observation Independent Conservative

Paul and Jan as you notice make sure they cater more to the Black people. They have more black hosts on now. Check out the Atlanta studio when the shows are aired there. The California studio is getting that way now. Just in recent years have they widened their audience to cater more to the Blacks…. Why? Money money money…. emotions. We are full of emotions and during emotions not devotion do we give!! Especially Black women! That is why they had Jaunita Bynum ( I don’t know where she is now as far as being on TBN) on a lot and Paula White. They are good at working on Black women and giving. Now they are pulling in Medina Pulling to do it. She is their new project. Pray pray pray, we are being scamed!

BK & Melvin: AMEN! to Black women (especially) willingly and blindly marching to the slaughter. This article is the proof that the pimps, pimpettes, thieves, perpetrators, and liars are getting dangerously bold in their exploitation of ALL Saints—men and women. How much dumber can the Saints become as they follow these reprobates to the edge of perdition?

[Sheeple Skating on Thin Ice?]

Credit card collection at church was misconstrued

“I found Michele Mitchell’s article in the April 12 forum to be tremedously thought-provoking.
She challenged me to take a closer look at the scope of things concerning the African-American status in this society and to stop skimming the top of this issue, but to dig deeper into the “why” we do the things that we do.

I. for one, agree with all that Ms. Mitchell said except for the “What of our churches?” portion of the article.

Ms. Mitchell spoke of “Pimps in the Pulpit” and she turned our attention to a very prominent “mega” church in the city of Lithonia. She mentioned an incident that took place at this church where the pastor had taken up a collection of credit cards.

Well,I am a youth leader at that church and I was there when this took place. Yes, the
pastor did ask for all who felt led to do so, ‘to place their credit cards in the collection baskets, but this request was for one reason only - to represent the elimation of debt and bondage that those little pieces of plastic stand for. Also, he was prompted to do this only after people in the congregation started coming forward, laying their credit cards on the altar.

In essence, this all represents the fact that this society has been established to destroy our people. We see credit as a way of getting things that we otherwise would * not be able to obtain instead of a means to establish character and credibility, which all are very deceiving.
May God bless Ms. Mitchell?, and I pray that He continues to use her to be a light in dark places.

Cordelia Gaddie lives in Lithonia.”

Melvin not that I doubt you, but could you clarify some of the things that Donnie Swaggart has done that may put him in line of becomign a pimp? I thought that you appreciated his videos on you tube? Just asking I do not mean to offend. Just would some clarity Thanks

2007-04-30 19:33:09

Check out my post about him.

Can you not be a pimp while running cover for Jimmy Swaggart? Donnie is Jimmy’s next generation of the game. A chip off the old block! And Jimmy is a founder of the game. Before Benny, there was Jimmy :D . Donnie and Jimmy run their operation together. Like Manning, Donnie wants you to think he’s calling out pimps, while he’s seeking to take the 10%+ and sell you bibles with his daddy’s name on them.

http://www.fmh-child.org/TheWord/Error.html . There is a letter posted there addressed to the Swaggarts.

BK

(MN: I saw that a couple of months ago. Be careful. Some of his objections truly are minors (King James Only) and some other stuff. I would be more than willing to go with the information IC presented earlier. They tend to be objective and not up for much debate. )

2007-05-01 08:05:55

I do include a link to that letter in my post about Donnie, although I can’t say I am in full agreement with every one of hit nits, I wanted to show that some folks within the bunch see there is a problem. He is on point on some of his statements though. I think he’s one who is starting to wake up.

The person who runs that site has some other issues, but now is not the appropriate moment to delve into that. I’ll just say that I’ve read some other material on his site that was a little unsettling. I just pray the brother is starting to see clearly.

But even when I saw him, my “problem” was with the crying. It seems way too theatrical - even though others have quite rightly pointed out that he could be sincere with it.

No joke, but regardless, this teaching is just dead end and that “preacher’s” garb looks like those worn by Roman Catholic cardinals.

And as far as women not being priests, ALL, both men and women who are saved, are priests. I think this joker was confusing the royal priesthood of believers with the bishopric in 1 Timothy 2-3. The pastor of a church is not the only priest in the body of Christ.

By the way, check out his youtube page. His ID is minisaiah. If you think his preaching is way out there, you should check out his comments on the comment section of his videos. Yikes!

This guy is so off it is hard to even listen to what he is saying. Why are people following this man?

What is with the children behind him. Little boys mostly, and where are their parents???? !!!!!

You know, the Swaggart comment reminds me of what Jim Rome, the sports talk show host says about “The Gravy Train”–meaning that father, son and everyone else follows it.

But back to this charater–I was noticing the little kids in the backround being tired–oh, and yes, this guy is spewing unsound docterine for any gulliable fool can hear.

In the comments of the first YouTube clip posted above, I just saw this comment made by Manning (I don’t even know if Melvin will allow this here, but Melvin please edit it if you feel the need):

minisaiah (1 week ago)

To all Muslims coming to my YouTube presentations:
To accuse me of being a pork eater is so immature. I don’t eat pork. I don’t eat shellfish. I don’t buck dance. Your rhetoric is so 1960s it’s just tired. And to those of you who think my robe is a dress, were I not a married man, I would ask your mama to look under it.

Peace,
The Hon. James David Manning, PhD

You folks know there is plenty I could say about that, but if Melvin dares to allow it I need not say anything more. My apologies, I know we try to keep this place suitable for a family audience. These pimps just never cease to amaze me.

He states in one of his videos that he was an executive with Proctor & Gamble, yet he found his way to New York, lost all his “fortune” and became one of the wretched. Sounds like a Monday night movie to me. Then came his encounter with the two chess playing angels in the park, this apparently is what spun off his weird cult. It is interesting how most cults began with “apparitions” of heavenly beings (i.e. Mormonism, Islam, ect.), I am becoming more and more convinced upon hearing the messages of the hateful Manning, that this is already a bon-a-fide, genuine cult.

I think most pimps in the pulpit operate just like this guy. The pastor of the church that I attend has been saying for years that the pastor has taken the place of the priest and that we are to give our tithes to the pastor. They go so far as to substitute pastor in the place of priest in print in church materials.

I have long been outspoken on this issue. I think most churches are moving the way of the CULT.

I think that the majority of Prosperity faith healers are false teachers. Perhaps the only evangelist who is the real thing more than any other internet evangelist is the internet media celebrity, Rev. Dr. Chris Mentillo. Doc has always given back to those less fortunate people who have nothing and whom are poor.

Doc is very blessed himself and has even given away money and Rolex watches, and even cars to people who sow into his ministry. Unlike many prosperity Ministers who just takes and keep taking. Dr. Chris Mentillo gives first. He had 4 mansions, 3 islands, 12 Porsche’s, 8 Rolex watches. and gives them away to the poor. He is amazing guy. He really is a great guy. I love him so much. God bless you Mentillo.

Even after he has done these things people try to take advantage of him. I think people just get very greedy and try to take advantage of him. This breaks my heart. I think he had a nervous breakdown recently this year. At the end of last year up until now. He had something like an astronomical 7 lawsuits that he mostly won, because these idiots were only trying to steal his money and tried to get away with it. If they were smart they should have tithed. Jerk offs you are to do that to a man of Christ. God is going to punish these people. Just watch.

He is perhaps the only true man of God who takes action on what he says he is going to do for his Internet members. And his members range from some of the most respected renown Christians and celebrities, politicians, etc in the world. Even the poor who come to him with nothing get blessed through his organization. Like rev Ike in the 70’s and 80′. Dr. Chris Mentillo is the up and coming Evangelist of the new century. Like Rev Ike. Dr. Chris Mentillo is based out of Boston and New York. He even donates to the police and politicians thousands. Rev. Dr. Mentillo believes in the bible where it says to give money to the poor. In addition Dr. Chris Mentillo also believes in not being poor himself so that he too can bless those less fortunate. look at all these ministers-celebrities today. Most of them just take your money. This is why Dr. Chris Mentillo is so different because he really does have the gift to bless those with no money and to bless individuals who are sick. 5*’s for the Doc. Sorry but he is not a Pimp but a true real man of God. You can check out his website at……….

Rajnesh,

First of all once you claimed that this person is like Rev. Ike that pretty much destroyed your argument. Also, what does giving away rolex watches have to do with saving souls? As for Politicians and famous people following this man that only proves that he himself is an antichrist who is worshiped by the elite. Rajnesh you talk about him giving to the poor which is all fine and good but what about Christ? Does this guy preach about living a Holy life? Does he preach about the need for repentance? What about the fact that we are sinners?

Rajnesh I really don’t care how much this guy gives to the poor because he obviously is rich himself and giving a little off the top wouldn’t put a dent in his wallet. That being said where does Mr. Mentillo get his money from Rajnesh? From people like you who donate to this clown. Why are so many people duped into thinking these people are somehow blessed by God WHEN IT IS “YOU” WHO GIVE HIM THE MONEY. It’s people like you who paid for his mansions, islands, and rolexes. God didn’t write Mr. Mentillo a check. YOU DID!

Melvin, I found a Blog that this “so-called” Preacher posted to. As stated Rajnesh is right about being connected with famous people. Here is his quote and the link.

Hi. My name is Rev. Dr. Chris Mentillo, and I’m taking this whole Paris Hilton thing very hard. I’m a friend of Paris Hiltons. But some how I feel I let her down as a friend. I wish there was something I could have done to help prevent this from happening to her. Had I known the seriousness in this I would have tried to do something earlier. I really want the public to know that if not for Paris Hilton, my ministry doors would have closed a long, long time ago. It was Paris Hilton who saved our Holy Church of Jesus. And It is Paris Hilton that I owe everything to. I will pray again for you Paris. I know you always mean well. You are a good Christian Paris. God will protect you. He will guide you, and He will never forsake you. May the presence of God shine in your life now unto eternity!

Anyone who claims Paris Hilton is a good Christian must be insane himself.

Paris is going to jail.

Rajnesh

Please notice in Mr. Mentillo’s response he says, “I really want the public to know that if not for Paris Hilton, my ministry doors would have closed a long, long time ago. It was Paris Hilton who saved our Holy Church of Jesus. And It is Paris Hilton that I owe everything to”. So much for Jesus giving him all of his money. And so much for Jesus being the one keeping his ministry doors open. And then he claims,”You are a good Christian Paris. God will protect you. He will guide you, and He will never forsake you. May the presence of God shine in your life now unto eternity”! Excuse me Rajnesh, are you serious about this guy? I hardly think that Paris, the one who makes sex videos, drives drunk, and is by all measure leads a life of debauchery is any Christian. Please stop holding up these pimps with so mush esteem. But then again I guess if you’re a pagan its OK to worship a man. Never mind.

for the first time I have a comment, this man; I feel, he stands up for whats right.
how can you here one sermon and automaticly assumes that he is a pimp. I have looked over all of the sermons and 99.9% of the time he is contending for the faith. he is not posting pictures of people altenateing the the photo and comeing up with jokes. He preaches the same thing this web site is preaching.
that one video does not convince me that he is a pimp. me personally I dont think he is a pimp, but if the lord tells you that he is a pimp then I have no argument. but where is the proof!!!!!!! he is not always talking about money this is just one video, lets search THE BIBLE FIRST AND POST A BUNCH OF SCRIPTURES FIRST BEFOR WE CONCLUDE THE MATTER …….. LETS GO TO THE SCRIPTURES HE IS TALKING ABOUT AND DO DEEP RESEARCH BRFOR WE CONCLUDE COM ON PLEASE!!!! I LIKE THIS WEB SITE BUT I THINK THE JOKES NEED TO STOP….. WE NEED TO PROMOTE CHRIST MORE!!!!!!!

(MN:
“I am the way and the truth, and the life….” John 14:6. When we promote the truth (not pugatory, some phoney priesthood, tithes, etc., we promote Jesus Christ. )

lets do some BIBLE research first befor we conclude. Lets quit all of the jokeing, and here what he has to say then we all back up what we have to say with scripture. like apostle paul says let us reason together. I must say out of all the videos I have seen on manning I still dont find error. I see so much jokeing and makeing fun of pictures that I just keep on scrolling down until I see the videos. When I come to this site I just look at the videos beacuse there are just too many jokes. lets turn this web site into a serious web site and quit the jokeing. and start warning people. beacuse these are the last days that we are liveing in. Lets get serious abou stuff and quit the jokeing. there are so many jokes on here that I dont even read the the comments any more. I personally thing he contends for the faith also just like G craig and the rest of the great men of God. Lets GET SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE WEB SITE IS GOOD AND All but lets not fall away from our first love. that church in the book of revelations they tested men and found them out to be false teachers, but there wase one problem they fell away from their first love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we should also focus on how good CHRIST is, like I sais i think pastor manning is preaching the same thing.

on question for all who read

WHO ARE WE PROMOTING?

(MN:
Then you should try createing a site and writeing content for it. It’s easy enough for you to sit there stateing what you think I should do when, guess what, I don’t see you provideing a link to the site where you are writeing what you say I should be writeing. And I’m not jokeing about that. )

Mr Gault, if you are going to defend the goofy doctrines of Mr Manning, then please do so from Scripture. His errors have been addressed (though I’m certain there are more we haven’t had the stomach to discover yet). You can start your defense with the ones already discussed.

Protestants are of your father the devil
Therefore the blind Protestants are truly stupid fools…
Now just look at these miserable, blind, and senseless people.
their blindness and arrogance are as solid as steel.

Learn from this, what you are doing if you permit the blind Protestants to mislead you. Then this will apply, “When a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into the pit” you cannot learn anything from them except how to misunderstand the divine commandments…Guard against the Protestant, knowing that wherever they have their meeting halls, nothing is found but a den of devils in which self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced. they have not acquired a perfect mastery of the art of lying; they lie so and ineptly that anyone who is just a little observant can easily detect it. But for us Christians they stand as a terrifying example of God’s wrath.

We must avoid confirming them in their wanton lying, slandering, cursing, and defaming. Or we make ourselves partners in their devilish ranting and raving by shielding and protecting them, or by other neighborly acts…
If I had to refute all the other articles of the Protestant faith, I would have to write against them for as long a time as they have used for inventing their lies– over 500 years Christ and his word can hardly be recognized because of the great vermin of human ordinances. However, let this suffice for the time being on their lies against doctrine or faith (MN: Of which you have provide none. )

It cannot be anything but the terrible wrath of God which permits anyone to sink into such abysmal, devilish, hellish, envy, and arrogance. If I were curse the devil himself I would be unable to wish him such evil and misfortune as God’s wrath inflicts on the Protestant, compelling them to lie and to blaspheme so monstrously, in violation of their own conscience. Anyway, they have their reward for constantly giving God the lie.

Therefore we Christians, should not to tolerate their wanton and conscious blasphemy.
If we wish to wash our hands of the Protestant blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven away. That everyone would be glade to be rid of them. Undoubtedly they do more and viler things than those which we know and discover. they remain our daily murderers and bloodthirsty foes in their hearts. Their prayers and curses furnish evidence of that. May Christ, our dear Lord, convert them mercifully and preserve us steadfastly and immovably in the knowledge of him, which is eternal life.

So tell me again why you are extensively quoting Luther in one of his diatribes against Jews? Oh! You probably wanted to show that Christianity is built on men who are anything but perfect. Nice work! )

Can we get a poll going as to whether I should annihilate this Catholic reprobate’s false religion with its Anti-Christ Pope, it’s denigration of Christ by blasphemously elevating Mary to co-Redeemer and co-mediatrix, it’s 2 millenia of the slaughter and destruction of the saints, it’s thievery through the false Donation Of Constantine, it’s murder and pillaging of the Jewish race all over the earth in order to steal their wealth to supply the money to build their cathedrals and support their hired prostitutes to service the priesthood, its whorish coupling with other religions even going so far as to have their idiotic Pope kiss the Koran and call Allah the same God as Jehovah, etc,etc,etc.???

You speak of the ramblings of Luther as an old man whose MANY attempts to reach out to the Jews in love were rebuffed severely. How about the INCESSANT MURDER and SLAUGHTER and RAPE of the Jewish race perpetrated by YOUR false idol Popes through the centuries?? How many Jews did Luther kill?? NONE.How many MILLIONS is YOUR false Popish religion responsible for from the earliest days through the Middle Ages Inquisitions and Crusades that YOUR POPES instigated and funded, right through WWII and the silence of the Catholic heretics??

The Catholic cult is literally SWIMMING in the blood of the millions it has slaughtered, and those bloody hands will be the witness against you in the final Judgement unless you repent. The blood of the Waldensians cries against you. The blood of the Heugonauts cries against you. The blood of Hus, and Lattimer, and Ridley, and Tynedale, and those your Crusaders and Inquisitors shed, the blood of the South American Indians, the blood of every people tongue and nation on EARTH cries out against the false institution you cling to like a flea to a mangy dog.
