Well in many years he hasn't but if he did, I would make sure that people would know it is not my sermon.

Did you read the first post?

How would you feel if you heard a minister preach a sermon and then later heard the exact sermon word for word by a well known speaker?

It isn't about preaching on a same subject or a similar sermon. It isn't about the original one who preached it. The Original post didn't say the first guy found out about it and was upset. It is about the one who copies, word for word, another man's sermon and passes it off as their own.

Why are some readers focusing on the original minister who preached? It is NOT about him. Or have you taken another's sermon and passed it off as your own?????

Then God would also tell you to not try and pass it off as your original sermon. God wants us to be honest.

Well I think we disagree. It's God's sermon.

I am also not sure how a preacher attempts to pass off God's sermon as his own. What does he do? Not mention the first person he knows of that God inspired to preach that sermon? Please! That's hardly a preacher trying to pass off that he's the first one to have preached that sermon.

This sermon that was preached was copied even down to every " touch your neighbor and say" statement.

You sure it wasn't sold? I know (non-Apostolic) preachers to package up their sermon series, all the way down to the web page designs and billboards (!) used to promote them, and then sell them to churches in other parts of the country who want to have people flocking to their church to hear the edgy sermons about sex or whatever.

Heard a tape of Bishop Morris Golder (PAW) preach "The Interval Between" and then later heard a white guy preach the same message, even had the uhs and ahs in the same place.

But it wasn't as good.

Back in the 70s had all those Mark Hanby clones his messages got a lot of mileage.

No sir, who could even think a white guy could preach as good as the Bishop.
