Tbn Ministries Exposed As a Masonic Fraud TBN MINISTRIES EXPOSED AS A MASONIC FRAUD By: Dr. Michael Sunstar Copyright 2006 FOR INTERNET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY NOT FOR SALE ALL SOURCES REFERENCED SUNSTAR ESSAY – 150 PAGES Let it be known that I never watched TBN ministries! As a Christian I quite rejected this terrible broadcast station as a fraud. How could anyone have taken Jan and Paul Crouch seriously? I believe that they were used in a plot to destroy Christianity and not bring people to Jesus Christ. I believe that the Jesus most of the TBN ministers followed was the anti-Jesus or another Jesus not written about in Scripture. They followed THE DOLLAR and assisted the banks in becoming wealthier. As a Christian I saw TBN ministries as an imposter to the Gospel and the Truths that Jesus taught and I always viewed its ministers, such as Jack Van Impe, Benny Hinn, Jerry Falwell, DOLLAR, Jan & Paul Crouch as a bunch of lunatics who did not properly represent my Faith in Jesus. This volume, concerning TBN ministries INCLUDES: 1. HAL LINDSEY’S EXPULSION FROM TBN AND SOME OF SUNSTAR/SUNSTAR’S COMMENTS 2. THE MASONIC AFFILIATIONS OF TBN MINISTRIES AND WHY TBN SHOULD BE DISREGARDED AS AN ANTI-CHRIST INSTITUTION FULL OF FRAUDULENT MINISTERS – ARTICLES RESEARCHED FROM OTHER MINISTRIES My grandmother watched him faithfully before she died and I got to watch Hal Lindsey’s shows. My mother watches him faithfully every week with great joy and anticipation. Although I detest and abhor TBN Ministries as a false gospel and hold the highest contempt for about 95% of the TBN ministers, regarding TBN ministers as imposters to the Christian faith, I have been a long supporter of Hal Lindsey’s Global Intelligence Report Broadcasted on TBN. I think Hal Lindsey is the only prophetic teacher who has the balls to show the whole world what the Quran actually says and teaches; shows the whole world the Islamic hatred towards Israel; and has a love for Scriptures and God’s words. I have historically disagreed with Hal Lindsey’s interpretations of the Rapture and some of what he says about the Tribulation, but I always accept him as a fellow brother and believer in Jesus – a true believer. Yes, Hal Lindsey is an imperfect human being who also sins, but I think that his show: GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE REPORT rocks! It’s practically TBN’s only good show left: the most accurate news in our war for Israel against Islamic aggression. I have grown to admire and love Hal throughout my lifetime, mainly because of both my grandmother and mother’s influence of watching him in the midst of those fakers, liars, exhortionists such as Paul Crouch, Benny Hinn, and all those other mockers of our great Christian faith who have exchanged the true gospel for MONEY and GOLDEN PLASTIC CHAIRS and broadcasting global evil that actually deceives some gullible, stupid people actually dumb enough to believe that the Crouches and their fake evangelists are actually Christians. I am aflame with anger and disappointment over TBN’s removal of Hal Lindsey from their news station and I entirely support Hal Lindsey’s Global Intelligence Report as being the greatest evangelist on TBN ministries: Hal Lindsey is the only man who has the balls to do what those wimps and cowards at TBN who accept bribes against their own are afraid to do. TBN is turning their backs on men such as ZOLA LEVITT, CHARLES STANLEY, and HAL LINDSEY because of MONEY. MONEY RULES THEIR TELEVISION STATION and they are unwilling to stand up like they have stood up. TBN, in my opinion, is like Mormonism, Catholicism, and Jehovah’s Witness cults – it’s a huge cult that professes Christianity and is casting aside the true believers of Jesus Christ. So long as they hire fake evangelists who are mockers of the Christian Gospel, such as Benny Hinn and all those other educated idiots such as Jack Van Wimp (Imp), I cannot ever support them with any financial or verbal support. Don’t ever watch TBN as representatives of the Christian faith. If you find yourself flipping onto the Crouch family, make sure you bring your vomit bag and throw away your true feelings about them in the garbage where their disgusting ideas belong. READ HERE WHAT HAPPENED TO HAL LINDSEY AS POSTED ON HAL LINDSEYORACL.COM Hal Lindsey Leaving TBN http://www.hallindseyoracle.com/articles.asp?ArticleID=12286 Refuses to Compromise to Stay on Air January 1, 2006 Dear Paul and Jan, Paul, Jr. relayed your message to me that you are both in agreement on the policy of nothing negative being said on TBN about Muslims. Hearing that you also warned John Haggee, Perry Stone, Jack VanImpe and others of this policy caused me to realize that your are not going to modify your position. I love and respect you both and know your heart for evangelism of the Muslims. But I don't agree with your reasoning that warning about the dangers of "radical Islam" is a hindrance to the Gospel to all Muslims. The 'Radicals' are intimidating the moderate Muslims -- not to mention their terrible persecution of Arab and Palestinian Christians. Jesus confronted false religion (which Islam is) by calling them "whitewashed tombstones", "Brood of vipers", and "sons of hell" in Matthew 23. I am sure of my calling from the LORD. One important part of that calling is to sound a prophetic alarm to America and the world about the dangers of the false religion of Fundamental Islam. It is a "Watchman on the Wall" kind of calling. In addition, the IIB is a news show from a Christian perspective. It is impossible to report the news without mentioning in a 'negative light' the radical Islamists who are wreaking murder and destruction on the Western world daily. It is truthfully reporting the most relevant news that made IIB one the most popular programs on TBN. It is also absolutely unacceptable to me to require my script to be submitted for censorship each week and then to learn whether my program will be aired or not. I don't have much money and it costs me a lot out of pocket to produce each show. When it is rejected or pre-empted, it is a big loss for me. So with regret and grief, I am not returning to TBN. I intend to pursue other avenues of ministry. I thank you for the years of association in the ministry. May God continue to bless you in your pursuit of evangelizing the world. In Christ's grace, Hal Lindsey As you know, I have a faith-based ministry. In order to assume the huge new expenses of producing my own show and paying for the program airtime, I will need your help. I ask you to please consider investing in this vital ministry that has brought thousands to faith in Christ. If God leads you to do so, please mail your tax- deductible contributions to: HAL LINDSEY MEDIA MINISTRIES P.O. Box 1475 Palm Desert, CA 92261 First TBN drops Lindsey, now Lindsey drops TBN Best-selling author says Christian network tried to muzzle his views on radical Islam Hal Lindsey, considered the best-selling non-fiction writer alive today, has notified the Trinity Broadcasting Network he will not return to his twice-weekly Christian commentary program, "The International Intelligence Briefing," because of what he considers to be efforts to muzzle his opinions about radical Islam. Lindsey, author of "The Late Great Planet Earth" and many other best-selling books and a weekly columnist for WND, has anchored the program for the last 12 years on the world's largest Christian network. The announcement follows an abrupt six-week suspension of the popular TBN- sponsored program by Jan Crouch, TBN's vice president for programming. Though John Casoria, TBN's general counsel first told WorldNetDaily the show's suspension was simply a traditional hiatus in lieu of seasonal programming, that statement was later revised to confirm that the network believed Lindsey's program "placed Arabs in a negative light." Lindsey responded to this allegation: "I don't have to cast radical Muslims in a bad light. If the intimidation and persecution of moderate Muslims makes radical Islam look bad, that is because it is bad – not that I 'cast' them in a bad light. But I have never cast the Arabs as a race in a bad light." "I also seek to show that radical Islam poses the greatest danger ever faced by the United States," he added. "I believe that God called me as 'a watchman on the wall' to warn America and I must obey – although it is sometimes unpopular." On the other hand, Casoria told WND he believes the extremists are not Muslims at all but have "hijacked the religion." Lindsey contends that "the extremists are the ones most literally following the Quran and the Hadith, which are the most holy and authoritative books of the Muslim religion. This is why violence has erupted from Muslims in virtually every century since its birth." Casoria said he could not recall specific examples from Lindsey's programs that were anti-Arab or anti-Muslim, but he expressed the network's concern about how Muslims are portrayed. "TBN is a worldwide ministry; we have an entire channel that airs 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Arabic," he said. "We are trying to reach the Islamic world and open a dialogue with them regarding Christ and Christianity." Casoria explained, "We do not feel that the best witness of Christ is to bash them but rather to show them the nature of Christ – the way Christ said to present himself – and that is through love, understanding and the presentation of the gospel to them." Lindsey argued, however, his program is not shown in the Middle East.

In the twinkling of an eye; these two the Jews not only put together as here, but make one to be as the other; so they say (k), , "a moment is as the twinkling of an eye". This phrase, as the twinkling of an eye, is frequently used in Jewish writings (l), to signify how speedily ard suddenly anything is done, and which is the design of it here; and the apostle's meaning is, that the change upon the bodies of living saints will be so quick, that it will be done in a trice, before a man can shut his eyes and open them again; so that it will be as it were imperceptible, and without the least sensation of pain; this may also be referred to the resurrection, which will be quick, and done at once; though it seems rather, and chiefly, to respect the change of the living; what follows, indeed, favors the other sense also; for all will be quick and sudden, the coming of Christ, the raising of the dead, and the change of the living: at the last trumpet, for the trumpet shall sound; or "by the last trumpet", as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it; that is, by means of it, through the sounding of that: and the dead shall be raised incorruptible; free from all frailty, mortality, and corruption, when the trumpet shall sound: and at the same time also, we shall be changed; the

  • 4.1 Eschatological Chronology
    The Need for Teaching the Eschatological Gospel of Both Comings of Jesus Christ in the 21st Century . 4.1 ESCHATOLOGICAL CHRONOLOGY Part 1 laid out the biblical and theological foundation for this study of the Eschatological Gospel of Both Comings of the Lord Jesus Christ by defining pertinent terms and concepts. Then both the Old and New Testaments’ usage of the Eschatological Gospel and related concepts was addressed (e.g., kingdom of God/heaven, age or world to come, salvation history, kairos versus chronos time, Parousia/Second Coming of Jesus, etc.). This was done in light of the Parable of the Wheat and Tares/Weeds showing that both the kingdom of God (based on the orthodox Eschatological Gospel) and the kingdom of Satan (based on the heretical/“false” gospel) were to coexist on the earth until “the end of the age.” Part 2 then reviewed the historical foundation of the Eschatological Gospel throughout the Church Age. The firm and sure foundation laid by Jesus and His Apostles was the starting point, which was immediately followed by the Early Church Fathers, and then stretched well into the eighth century. There remained a small stream of Eschatological Gospel teaching spanning the rest of the Medieval Church Period, that led up to the Pre-Reformation Period and the beginning of the resurgence of the doctrine. This then continued to build through the Reformation and Post-Reformation periods well into the eighteenth century and culminated with the “birth” of Dispensationalism through Edward Irving and John Nelson Darby in the 1830s. This exploded throughout the rest of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth century; which in turn led to the founding of several churches, evangelical ministries and even one seminary upon the Eschatological Gospel (e.g., Plymouth Brethren, Christian and Missionary Alliance, Assemblies of God, Dispensational Baptists, Church of the International Foursquare Gospel, Billy Graham’s and Oral Roberts’ ministries, and Dallas Theological Seminary).

  • Bruxy Cavey and the Meeting House Megachurch: a Dramaturgical Model of Charismatic Leadership Performing “Evangelicalism for People Not Into Evangelicalism”
    Bruxy Cavey and The Meeting House Megachurch: A Dramaturgical Model of Charismatic Leadership Performing “Evangelicalism for People Not Into Evangelicalism” by Peter Schuurman A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Peter Schuurman 2016 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ! ii ! Abstract Megachurch pastors—as local and international celebrities—have been a growing phenomenon since the 1960s, when megachurches began to proliferate across North America. Why are these leaders and their large congregations so popular in an age of increasing “religious nones”? Commentators in both popular and academic literature often resort to characterizing the leadership with stereotypes of manipulative opportunists along the lines of Sinclair Lewis’ Elmer Gantry (1927) or narrow characterizations of savvy entrepreneurs who thrive in a competitive religious economy. Similarly, writers assume megachurch attendees are a passive audience, or even dupes. This dissertation challenges the Elmer Gantry stereotype and the religious economic perspectives by examining one particular megachurch pastor named Bruxy Cavey in the context of his “irreligious” megachurch community called
