Joyce Meyer

God Gives Receipts?

     I will say this for Meyer: She has the gifts of gab and the ability to inject just the right amount of humor into whatever it is she is saying. She definitely has charisma which if you really think about it is essential for any successful preacher. Charisma goes a long way in ensuring that the congregation members will stay right where the preacher needs them to stay...in that particular congregation. While Meyer does have immense charisma above and beyond that of a majority of preachers out there in the religious world, she is edged out by pastor Joel Osteen. Osteen's calm demeanor, kind voice and lack of filling his sermons with negative messages of hell put him at the very top of the preacher charisma category.
     Moving on to our first video we hear Meyer basically preaching that you should show the devil that you will go the extra mile for God by rounding up to the nearest dollar when paying your tithe. Hah! That is pretty novel. Who wants to be seen as someone who does just the bare minimum, the lowest requirement? The way Meyer puts it you would think that not rounding up or not tithing more than what is required is a sign of an obstinate and stingy believer. What a crock of shit, Meyer. And you preach with that mouth?

     Here we go again with religious people attacking other religious people who are popular. Joyce Meyer is amazingly popular and much like Joel Osteen and Kenneth Copeland who also have amazingly large followings she is picked at by others within the faith. I bet many of those doing the picking are just green with envy at the amount of money that many of the preachers they speak out against make on a consistent basis. This envy is hidden in, disguised as faithful followers of Christ simply trying to disrobe those clothed in the garb of a false prophet. The funny thing is...ALL of them are full of it.

    Jesus Christ in a chariot driven sidecar...every preacher of every religion in every denomination have asserted at some point or other that THEY have been called by God. The crux of her message is if you continue to tithe you will be taken care of by God. You may not get the new clothes or the new car or the new house, but by Jesus and Mary, God will make sure what you have will last. Any doubts that you have about tithing is just the devil come to try to peel you away from the faith and the law of giving. This is a test. This is only a test of the spiritual broadcast system. Had this been anything other than a test it isn't God but the devil. Don't forget to sign your name on the check and for whatever amount you put down Jesus is commanding you to add two zeroes.

     This is a delicious hoot! Of course you know as well as I that while a preacher may be silver-tongued and quite convincing, it is the individual who believes that horseshit who must shoulder some of the blame. It is the person who allows themself to believe such poppycock who is, in the final analysis, responsible for their condition of spiritual slavery.

     Holy shit! I am in the wrong business! A ten thousand square foot home? Homes for the kids? All bills paid by the ministry? Oh man, no wonder why so many people become preachers. They are swimming in cash! I suppose it really does not matter how many people speak out against these folks because in the end there are always the spiritually inept in the world who are all too willing to give their money to these phonies.

     This is interesting. I grew up steeped in the Christian faith and what Meyer is preaching here is totally otra de la Biblia. Of course, the way the Bible is written you can put just about ANY MEANING YOU WANT to anything that is written in the Bible. That is the terrible beauty of religion. You can change it to fit the people and the times and even make it fit the politics. Three cheers for religion...rah rah rah!!

     This is so goddamn jacked up. Since when did receiving equate with receipting? What the hell kind of bullshit is this? Since when do people do good things with the belief or intent that somewhere down the line when they need something they can 'cash in' whatever it is they have done in their lives to get what they need? If that isn't some fucked up and severely twisted doctrine I don't know what is. When you do something good you do it for the sake of being good and not for the purpose of receiving something back.
