I LOVE using cast iron cookware. Rick, you rock! I think good food is heavenly! Think of the really good stuff your Mom used to make. I think God-inspired foods include chocolate & cheesecake!

Just remember do NOT wash your cast iron with soap ever. Just rinse.

I find this man and the whole prosperity gospel movement immoral and corrupt, it contradicts the fundamental teachings of Jesus and preys on needy and unfortunate people. This disgusting human being is using Jesus as a vehicle to make money, lots of money. Jesus must be turning in his grave, he did not idolize material wealth, he preached against it. Preaching financial rewards to love thy neighbor as oneself demeans humanity, regardless of ones religious beliefs.
I pity both the needy and the greedy, may God have mercy on their soul.

I might add that I feel the same as above about ALL TV evangelists' and many more preachers too. NO ONE is suppose to get paid to preach the message that God gave to them freely.

Jesus protested so strongly about the relationship between money and God, it cost him his life.
I appreciate his sacrifice, it seems some Christians do not.

Rick,
Please do not speak on behalf of anyone but yourself, you are not the spokesperson for Christians such as Cranberry nor are you a spokesperson for Jesus.
Your clips and your comments give me an insight into the type of Christian you are, you may be the best advert for atheism I have ever come across.
Jesus did not preach " love thy neighbor and get rich ", think about why.

I personnally knew the Osteens. They are not corrupt. If you knew them you would say this also. I grew up in Lakewood Church. They are honest. They do not take $$$ for themselves.. the proof is in the buildings that have built over the years. People would give brother John suits, cars, he also would in turn give to others. They do put back into the church/building what they bring in. Brother John was big into Foreign ministries and had a big heart for others. I can only speak of them because I knew them. I do understand that not all Evangelists are on the up and up. but this family is. Morning Folks!

It is a silly man who thinks he speaks on behalf of others without approval or authority, some would call it delusional, but I am not so impolite. You carry on being silly. Peace.

Hello Texas,
My primary objection surrounds the corrupted moral message these snake oil salesmen are selling, and my objections are shared by the vast majority of the Christian faith who consider it blasphemy and idolatry.
Worshiping God for material rewards is a false hope from a false promise, these people are nothing but charlatans and opportunists.
In my most humble opinion.

No, I will not loan you money......peace, lolol. Not as entertaining as you posting all the imbecilic clips of fleece merchants conning the gullible, you think of them as trophies of your faith and that my friend is hilarious and ironic. Thinking may not be your strongest point, that is why you believe God will make you rich lolol. Next patient. ;D

Tosh, Tosh .... tsk, tsk, tsk!
You seemed to have gotten nothing from my post about progression. Certainly the dream of human flight has been around for thousands of years, but the SCIENCE behind it has not been. Did the Greek story of Icarus involve spaceships or craft of any sort? Of course not. Icarus strapped on a pair of wax wings and flapped into the sky like a bird. In fact, for MOST of human existence, the only concept of flight we had was through observing birds, so it stood to reason that if humans wanted to fly, they would need to imitate birds. That means feathers, flapping, and other such things. This is where we derived our inspiration from flight, not scientific principles such as lift, drag, thrust to weight ratios, or gravitational forces.
Even the first failed aircraft often involved strapping on a very bird-like contraption onto our bodies and flapping our arms. Eventually we advanced to an engine that would do the flapping for us, but the motions were still decidedly bird-like.
In the modern era, interstellar travel has been a dream for at least 150 years, but that doesn't mean we went directly from the Wright Brothers to Neil Armstrong or from Kitty Hawk to Cape Canaveral. It takes time - sometimes a long time - for our ideas to mature as well as our technology and grasp of science.

Yep, that about sums up my thoughts on your post about progression.
Humans were flying about the heavens on chariots, boats, birds, horses and a whole range of anthropomorphic mythological beings.
But you see the paintings as evidence of UFOs ?
I do not.

From those particular painters? Well ... I always thought a picture was worth a thousand words. Now you'd rather have words than pictures? Very strange indeed.
But if you really want words, read Ezekiel, read the Mahabharata from ancient India, read the accounts in ancient Egypt during the reign of Tutmoses III, read accounts from both the Phoenicians and Greeks during Alexander the Great's siege of the city of Tyre. History is sprinkled with people observing odd craft in the sky.
In addition, we are expected to believe that ancient cultures, who had almost an obsession with the sky and gave us the names of our stars (most star names are ancient Arabic), as well as our constellations ... who slavishly erected vast monuments marking equinoxes and solstices ... apparently actually looked at the sky so seldom that they drew mundane things like meteors and comets with people flying them.
It's a bit easier to dismiss modern UFO sightings as aircraft and secret government projects, but unless our cave-painting ancestors were flying saucer-shaped aircraft (which we can't get to fly even with modern technology), something - as I've said - doesn't add up.
If you're looking for reason and honest skepticism, then one should be highly skeptical of ancients moving 500 ton blocks around with ropes and pulleys (what were these ropes made out of ... titanium cable?) or carving razor-straight grooves into diorite with stone or copper chisels.

Rick baby,
Your offense is almost as baffling and entertaining as your beliefs.
I do not envy gullibility.
Tosh loves you as himself, and I love myself loads and loads, think of yourself as a beneficiary of my arrogance.
Peace.
