No offense intended. I am thankful and gratetful.
But you know COGOP in Canada hawking T D Jaked books, COGOP in England linking to Meyers and Jakes and COGOP officals paling up with and promoting WOF lunatics with the Azuza Street Celebration tells me that perhaps you and I are in the minority.
WOF has taken the field. It is part and parcel of Pentecostalism and has beaten any other idea in conjuction with an active ACTS type-Holy Spirit belief into submission with the steel club of greed.
And most are happy to have it so.
Pentecosalism is all but lost in the modern day. As COGOP abandons legalistic Holiness it begins to
stink in WOF heresy like a vacuum.
Jakes and Meyers are held as standards. WHo cares what they teach? They're SUCCCESSFUL. (The only standard of Modern day Christianity. Not that Jesus died for you. Or just that Jesus paid the price. He suffered and died so I can be financially successful)
Jakes and Meyers are even touted at my local: "Just look at all these children here on Childrens day, Who knows, one of them could be the next T D Jakes, the next Joyce Meyers."

I just got too busy to continue with it plus....I got tired of beating a dead horse. Those that hear you and agree with you aren't going to change. Those that don't agree with you aren't going to. It's like one that beateth against the air.
Then is scripture worthless?
Is truth null and void?
How far do you take that maxim (italicized above)?
A NOTE:
What does a vaccuum do?
It's sucks! <---censored
It does not "STINK" The censorship here is ludicrous.
