Right...they were preaching Jesus. They were preaching the Messiah.
Still, my point remains. There are still some things that are absolutes. This seems to be a problem with the modern church age, denying God's absolutes. "Well maybe it's the will of God"....maybe? Let's look at the word. Let the word of GOD be true and every man a liar.
Has the church changed? Has what it means to be a witness for Jesus changed or has being a Pastor changed?
Again I just don't see in scriptures Pastors getting fat and rich off the gospel. In fact Paul indicated they were quite poor for everyone elses sake. I don't see Paul wanting noteriety. This isn't about Jakes, it's about our day and age...the American church. There is no cult of persona in the bible. They preached Jesus. They did not preach pscho babble or feel good messages even sinners can live by.
Hasn't it occured to us that something is amiss today? We got gay churches growing more and more. We got what were once mainstream famous named minitries going UR and teaching gays are saved even when they are living in a homosexual relationship
We got big names becoming even BIGGER through TV and then crashing hard.
