They are the wolves in sheeps clothing that we are warned about.
So how does he teach the true gospel that the others you mentioned don't?

Let's turn it around. You would describe yourself as very open to Buddhism? You've read Buddhist scriptures? You've spent time in Buddhist temples for religious purposes (as opposed to tourism)? You've had significant conversations with Buddhist monks?
I never said I was open to it, so dont put words in my mouth. I said that I believe in what our countries forefathers wrote in the Declaration of Independence. Its your right to follow whom you wish. I believe in following who I feel is the One and Only True Living God and his son our Lord Jesus Christ.

The others are pushing what is known as,(Prosperity Religion), wealth on earth.
Pastor Voddie teaches what comes from the bible. They're teachings are very rarely biblically based and they are more in the line as motivational speaker that they are true preachers. False profits are are who we Christians are warned against.
Take a little time and watch a few of Pastor Voddie's ceremons and you'll see just what I'm talking about.

Your words: "most of the time when people are involved in other beliefs they usually arent willing to be open to the word of got as its supposed to be read and followed"

As the Christian bibles is supposed to be read and interpreted. The mega church preachers seem to have lost their way and only focus on feel good doctoran and money. Not Gods word.

Well besides the prosperity thing, what else are you against them for? There is some good that comes from what they teach, even though I know they teach some falseness. What does Voddie teach on how to get saved? You said he preaches the true gospel. Can you tell me what he says we have to do to get saved? Thanks.

Look him up on YouTube and listen to him for a bit. He's really good. Now as far as being saved, John's 3:16 & 3:17 are very clear the juses is the onlybway. Doing good deeds and paying a church has nothing to do with it. Pastor Voddie explains it in great details in many of his sermons.

I'm the type of person that believes what our forefathers put into the Declaration of Independence that each man should be free to seek his God in his own way.
I don't recall reading such a statement in the Declaration Of Independence.

Ya know, i went back and read it in standard text and you're right, it's not there. Where in the world did I read that? Now I know I've seen it somewhere, but where. Well I never did say that I was a scholar, especially not a writer.
So please forgive me. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. God Bless.

It is better for us to talk here about what he teaches. Watching videos on a preacher to find out what he teaches is a lot to ask someone.


So does he teach faith alone?
