Does anyone know Bethany’s teaching or stance on “speaking in tongues”? I’ve Bern informed it’s a requirement for Cell Leaders? Any material helps!
Stockstillians Brag About Quanity Not Quality Saturday, Nov 27 2010
Uncategorized 12:34 pm
10,000 members and growing?! Signs and Wonders?!
I’ve taken a long break and have decided to respond to copy and paste claims from the common Stockstillians defending Bethany World Prayer Center. It seems they have given up on the “personal opinions defense” such as:
-
You’re wrong and I don’t have to offer proof, that ‘s my belief
-
You’re obviously upset
-
You’re a jerk
-
You’re the devil
-
You have unforgiveness
-
O.K., Joel was wrong but we should NEVER speak against prophets
-
Joel has had false prophecies but it’s o.k. no prophet was perfect
-
It’s not about bible study, it’s about signs and wonders
Now their proof that I’m wrong about the Stockstills Ministry is based on another STRAW HOUSE,I.E., various and often conflicting calculations of their membership. I’ve heard the exact same number, 10,000, for years! Then as noted in past articles they claim hundreds and sometimes thousands have been “saved” in the Baton Rouge Metro’ area in a single weekend and crowd Bethany’s various congregations consistently.
So, according to the Bible are MANY followers the ONLY proof that a prophet is true and we should turn a blind eye to that prophet’s failed prophecies? If a man arrives and claims to be annointed, will you turn a blind eye to his teachings because of the numbers that attend his sermons?
Matthew 7:15–23 (ESV)
15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
18A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.
19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
21“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22On that day MANY will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord,
- did we not prophesy in your name
- and cast out demons in your name
- and do MANY mighty works in your name?’
23And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Christ describes this group of people who follow false prophets as “MANY” not few. It should be obvious Christ did not say, “Well, False Prophet atleast you brought MANY IN MY NAME. Good Job!”.
Instead Christ on Judgement Day explicity tells us that he is unconcerned about QUANITY(many) and wants QUALITY(good fruit). These MANY are called before Christ to give an accounting to their conduct. They obviously knew this person to be a False Prophet yet followed him. These MANY want Christ to ignore the fact that this Prophet is indeed false. These MANY want Christ to look at:
- DID WE NOT PROPHESY IN YOUR NAME
- AND CAST OUT DEMONS IN YOUR NAME
- AND DO MANY MIGHTY WORKS IN YOUR NAME
All of that meant nothing. These warnings have been in place from old:
Jeremiah 5:31 (ESV)
31the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes?
What will you do when the end comes?! Read what The Sciptures teach and warn about False Prophets! How does The Scriptures describe False Prophets? What will happen if I turn a blind eye when my pastor’s prophecy claims don’t come to past and fail? “What will you do when the end comes(Jer.5:31)?
Will you turn a blind eye when your Pastor/Prophet is obviously using Scripture for unjust gain?
Jeremiah 6:13 (ESV)
13“For from the least to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for unjust gain; and from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely.
Mark 13:22–23 (ESV)
22For false christs and FALSE PROPHETS WILL ARISE AND PERFORM SIGNS AND WONDERS, TO LEAD ASTRAY, if possible, the elect.
23But be on guard; I have told you all things beforehand.
FALSE PROPHETS WILL APPEAR AND PERFROM GREAT SIGNS AND MIRACLES TO DECEIVE EVEN THE ELECT, IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE(MT.24:24)
Christ tells us that Signs and Wonders are not proof in of themselves. In The Last Days it’s “TO LEAD ASTRAY“.
Haiti Deserved The EarthQuake? Thursday, Jan 14 2010
Bethany's Dangerous Associations! and larry stockstill and Uncategorized christian coalition, haiti, joel stockstill, pat robertson, prophet pat robertson 1:35 pm
WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN LARRY STOCKSTILL’S RECOMMENDED CHRISTIAN COALITION HAS CALLED OUR FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT A MONKEY(click here) BUT NOW THE CHRISTIAN COALITIONS FOUNDER PAT ROBERTSON SAYS THE EARTHQUAKE THAT HAS KILLED THOUSANDS OF HAITIANS IS DUE TO THEIR PACT WITH SATAN and IS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE!
IN AGREEMENT BETHANY’S PROPHET JOEL STOCKSTILL CLAIMS HAITI IS “…THE MOST SATANIC , VOODOO INFESTED NATION IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE”(his blog entry here!

This is another self-proclaimed prophet who claims that Haiti's destruction is a blessing in disguise because atleast they'll get newer buildings. Adding insult to injury,this prophet claims the earthquake is a result of The Nation of Haiti making a pact with Satan to get rid of their slave masters and Satan agreed to chase the French oppressors out of Haiti on their behalf.
VIDEO HERE: “prophet” Pat Roberston’s claims
The Ambassador of Hait responds to the racist rumors about the kidnapped Africans’ freedom and people like Joel Stockstill and Pat Robertson need to be thankful because it enabled THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE!! View Here:. Joel, at first you embarassed your black remnant but now your statement is an embarassment to christians worldwide, especially our brothers and sisters in Haiti.
It’s ironic how Pat Robertson blames these victims for their own severe poverty and ignores the following:

These Africans are so judgmental! Jesus clearly tells them not to judge us, WE'RE MAKING DISCIPLES!! They aren't doing anything but complaining against our version of Christianity but that's just their opinion. It's not about who has the right Jesus, these Africans are so judgmental! (Pat Roberston blames them for their own poverty and ignores the facts that:
-
THESE AFRICANS WERE KIDNAPPED FROM THEIR OWN LAND
-
THESE AFRICAN WERE KIDNAPPED FROM THEIR FAMILIES
-
THESE AFRICANS WERE KEPT FROM LEARNING OR EDUCATING THEMSELVES
-
THESE AFRICANS WERE FORCED INTO HARD LABOR
-
THESE AFRICANS WERE EXPOSED TO MANY EUROPEAN DISEASES
-
THE CONQUERORS EXPLOITED THE ISLAND FOR ITS GOLD
-
THE AFRICAN WHO REFUSED TO MINE WERE SLAUGHTERED
-
THE INDIGENOUS AND AFRICANS FLED TO THE MOUNTAINS IN ISOLATION
-
MALNUTRITION BY EUROPEANS CAUSED FURTHER DISEASE
-
THE FRENCH BUCCANEERS FURTHER ADDED TO THE ABOVE PROBLEMS FOR THE KIDNAPPED AFRICANS
-
THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BECAME WEALTHIER THAN HAITI BECAUSE THE SLAVE MASTER LIVED AND INVESTED IN THE REPUBLIC WHILE THE SLAVES LIVED AND MINED IN HAITI
-
HAITI WAS DEVASTED BY SEVERAL WARS FOR FREEDOM
-
HAITI WAS DEVASTED BY CIVIL WARS BETWEEN THE CONQUERORS THEMSELVES
-
IN 1937, DICTATOR RAFAEL TRUJILLO ORDERED HIS ARMY TO KILL ANY HAITAN LIVING IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC (KNOW AS THE PARSLEY MASSACRE)
-
APARTHEID(ANTIHAITIANISMO) WAS INSTITUTED ON THE ISLAND
-
HAITI IS PREDOMINATELY CHRISTIAN- %80 CATHOLIC, %16 PROTESTANT(though protestants claim it’s reversed), HAITIAN VOODOO AND OTHER UNKNOWN
If there is anyone to blame, it’s those acting on behalf of Europe that ruined the intellect of these people! Haiti was segregated. The Slave Masters and their descendants even enforced it by executing blacks and the natives. The kidnapped Africans’ people in South Africa experienced the same dictatorship. Are we to conclude that the poverty and corruption in their country is due to its pact with Satan and not how the European Slave Masters divided the natives and incited this mess before being ousted?

"Despite your nations' large Christian population, "the pact" needs to be officially broken. We have this thing called THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL that you should look into. O.K. the first version of oppressive Christiainity you received wasn't correct but this one promises if you give over-and-beyond, Jesus will make your Nation rich! You have to reverse the curse with money!! Oh yeah, you're poor. I'll pray for you.", Prosperity Gospel Televangelist.
However, I know what the Stockstillians will say….
”It’s o.k., didn’t you hear the prophet Pat Robertson instruct us disciples to pray for them, this is a blessing in disguise and he is a prophet. This is due to their pact with Satan and their poverty has nothing to do with the history of being oppressed or discriminated against”. Furthermore, our prophets saw this coming they just forgot to blog about it.”
In contrast to their Christian Coalition prophet, our President comforted the Haitian Nation by telling them they won’t be forsaken.

I wonder if "The Remnant" at Bethany will continue to remain quiet or continue to condone Larry's endorsment of this false christian agency. They're probally too busy making disciples by signs and wonders.
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — A senior White House adviser says evangelist broadcaster Pat Robertson’s remark that Haiti has been “cursed” doesn’t express the spirit of the American people or the president(Click here for story).
JOEL STOCKSTILL SAYS HAITI IS THE MOST SATANIC NATION IN THE WEST(read here)

Bethany's "prophet" Joel Stockstill commented on the destruction of Haiti by describing it as "...THE MOST SATANIC, VOODOO INFESTED NATION OF THE WESTERN HEMSIPHERE....". I wonder what the disclaimer will be this time? I also wonder where Bethany's prophet received his Stats' from because I have yet to find any that agrees with this so-called Christian that Haiti is "...THE MOST SATANIC, VOODOO INFESTED NATION OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE....". Oh I know, He probally gets his stats from Larry's recommended links, Pat Roberston who likewise claims Haiti is cursed!
It seems Joel forgets the many Trees Bethany erects in God’s House and which they dress up during December has it’s roots in European paganism. I’m sure Bethany’s annointed preachers overlooked the fact that their feast of “easter” with it’s eggs and rabbit symbols also has roots in European paganism. Also, Bethany’s unbiblical rituals like being slain-in-the-spirit and proclaiming failed prophecies and their version of “speaking in tongues” which Paul prohibited.
ONCE AGAIN, if we use Joel’s standard back on his ministry we would conclude that Bethany is the most “SATANIC….VOODOO INFESTED” church in the Western Hemisphere. But I know, I know, it’s o.k. because he’s annointed. It’s amazing how he totally ignores the mix of European paganism in his brand of Christianity yet attempts to remove the splinter in the Haitians’ eyes.

ONCE AGAIN, IF WE USE BETHANY'S PROPHET'S STANDARD NORTH AMERICA WOULD BE THE MOST SATANIC NATION NOT HAITI! PASSOVER IS GOD'S HOLY DAY NOT THE idol easter!
P.S., you think the world doesn’t realize these prophets have failed prophecies? Take a look at how Jimmy Kimmel mocks the Church thanks to the many AND I MEAN MANY FAILED PROPHECIES of Larry’s recommended Christian Coalition founder, Pat Robertson(view here).
Larry Stockstill’s $4,600 Donation To Huckabee Saturday, Jan 2 2010
Blacks and Bethany.com and larry stockstill and Uncategorized confederate flag, joel stockstill, larry stockstill, larry stockstill is a false prophet, larry stockstill is a liar, larry stockstill is greedy, mike huckabee, mike huckabee and confederate flag, racist flag, rebel flag 6:01 pm
LARRY’S $4,600.00 DONATION TO MIKE HUCKABEE’S CAMPAIGN

Mike Huckabee Supports South Carolina's Fight To Fly Confederate Flag Over State Capital, Spreads His Hate With Larry's $4,600.00 donation.
Why is this important to note? Because there seems to be an unbroken link to racists and Larry Stockstill’s support! So far a summary of discoveries:
-
LARRY STOCKSTILL RECOMMENDS THE FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL WHICH USED THE RACIAL INSULT OF MONKEY TO DESCRIBE THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT
-
LARRY STOCKSTILL SUPPORTS THE CHRISTIAN COALITION WHICH HAVE BEEN SUED SUCCESSFULLY FOR RACISM IN 2001 AND ALSO CALLED THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT A MONKEY
-
LARRY STOCKSTILL VOLUNTEERED TO BE THE PERSONAL PASTOR TO GOV.FOSTER WHO PURCHASED DAVID DUKE’S K.K.K. MAILING LIST OF VOTERS
-
THE CHRISTIAN COALITION’S FIGHT TO SAVE TALK SHOW RADIO HOSTS RUSH LIMBAUGH AND FOX NEWS HOSTS
NOW ANOTHER RACIST LINK
Now another link! As made aware by a poster, Bleeding Heart Liberal, Larry Stockstill donated $4,600 to Mike Huckabee’s Campaign in November2007 as noted in the (F)ederal (E)lection (C)ommission’s website in their Financial Donor’s Transactions(Click Here).
As many are aware of, South Carolina has been in a debate over whether to continue to fly The Confederate Flag over their State Capital or not(CLICK HERE FOR BRIEFING). The reason, Sen. John McCain and Civil Rights Groups and Democrats, claim it to be a symbol of oppression and racism. As noted by the Fox News Network MIKE HUCKABEE supported the choice of flying The Confederate Flag .
As a result, Sen. John McCain was blasted and Mike Huckabee received praises. Mike Huckabee went as far as to tell the Pro-Confederate Flag crowd that his good-ole boys in Arkansas wouldn’t tolerate that type of “outside interference” by some trouble makers sticking their nose in that type of business. In fact, Mike Huckabee said Arkansas would “…TELL THEM WHERE TO PUT THE POLE, THAT’S WHAT WE’D DO!(Click Here For C.B.S. News Coverage)”. Here is Mike Huckabee on video making his statement defending the Confederate Flag And with Larry Stockstill’s donation of $4,600.00 he could travel and spread his hateful flag and racist views.But of course Larry’s Black Remnant remains quiet?!
HUCKABEE REMOVES ALL DOUBT ABOUT HIS STANCE ON CONFEDERATE FLAG
From CBS News’ Joy Lin:
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — “South Carolinians know true conservatism when they see it,” said Mike Huckabee to voters at his brief touchdown at a Myrtle Beach jet hangar.
“You don’t like people from outside the state coming and telling you how you oughta raise your kids. You don’t like people coming from outside the state coming down and telling you what you want to do with your flag.”
“In fact, if someone came to the state of Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we’d tell them where to put the pole – that’s what we’d do,” said Huckabee.
Huckabee brought up the Confederate flag issue at the first two stops of his puddle-jumping tour today — first in Myrtle Beach and later in Florence.
I give credit where credit is due. In an interview with Katie Kouric(Interview Called “Worst Advice” by C.B.S.), John McCain was asked what was the worst piece of advice HE had given to another person. In the said video clip at minutes 01:37 -2:21 Sen. John McCain ,unlike Larry’s financially FILLED Huckabee, stated:
“THE WORST PIECE OF ADVICE I’VE GIVEN TO MYSELF WAS WHEN THE CONFEDERATE FLAG WAS FLYING OVER THE STATE CAPITAL IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND I DECIDED I’D DECIDED THAT I WOULD SAY THAT’S NOT AN ISSUE THAT I SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN. THAT IT SHOULD BE DECIDED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. (((I KNEW THAT IT WAS A SYMBOL THAT WAS VERY OFFENSIVE))) TO MANY PEOPLE AND…AFTERWARDS I WENT BACK AND APOLOGIZED BUT IT WAS…NEEDLESS TO SAY. BY SAYING THAT I WOULDN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AN ISSUE LIKE THAT (((WAS AN ACT OF COWARDICE))) “.
Wow, now that took courage! Another Rebuplican, Mitt Romney, echoed John McCain’s stance during a CNN Webinar(SEE HERE):
“RIGHT NOW WITH THE KINDS OF ISSUES WE’VE GOT IN THIS COUNTRY, I’M NOT GONNA GET INVOLVED IN A FLAG LIKE THAT, THAT’S NOT A FLAG THAT I RECOGNIZE OR THAT I WOULD HOLD UP IN MY ROOM. THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY HAVE DECIDED NOT TO FLY THAT FLAG. I THINK THAT’S THE RIGHT THING. MY OWN VIEW IS THAT THIS COUNTRY CAN GO BEYOND THAT KIND OF STUFF(00:00-00:49)….”

Out Of All The "Conservatives" To Financially Support Why Would Larry Stockstill Donate $4,600.00 To A Canidate That Condones The Continued Flying Of The Offensive Confederate Flag?! Well Atleast We Know Of Another Louisiana Boy Who Agrees It Should Be Hung On The Wall or Flown In Public!
Now, with two Republicans speaking against this sign of racial oppression why did Larry Stockstill financially back the ONLY RACIST WHO DEFENDED THE FLAG WITH $4,600.00 in donations??!! The only time they jumped on the McCain/Palin Bandwagon was when their Rebel Flag fellow lost the nomination! I guess Huckabee was too honest and open,Ooops!

I PRAY THAT YOUR DEDICATION IS NOT TO THE COERCION TACTICS OF MAN BUT TO SOLA SCRIPTURA AND ITS AUTHOR!!

Joel's Version Of Jesus Has Once Again Congratulated Him On Perverting The Scriptures And Coercing Christians Out Of Their Money!
BEFORE YOU OVER-BLESS YOUR FAMILY, BLESS MINE….
Well, it’s that time of the year again at Bethany. The time when people start focusing on blessing their children with gifts, spending extra on big Family Meals, traveling in and out of state for re-unions, donating to charities, and for the unfortunate paying those high utitily heating bills. The Stockstills, Joel in particular, has presented another sermon on tithing just in case folks dare not bless his family more and before they start re-directing their 10%. See Here, “The Test”, Joel Stockstill’s Sermon
DON’T QUESTION ME ABOUT YOUR TITHES….

WE ALL REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU QUESTION JOEL RIGHT? REMEMBER HIS BRAGGING ABOUT A BEATING DOWN SOMEONE IN CHURCH! SO....TAKE HIS ADVICE LITERALLY, DON'T QUESTION HIM! http://225br.wordpress.com/joel-almost-beatdown-during-service/
One of the most disturbing points of Joel’s sermon comes at the minute marks (14:28-15:22) where He instructs the Tithers to give without holding ministers accountable?! You will not find a Church with intergrity who will agree with that! That is a red flag that your money is being misappropriated and abused for personal-enrichment. Any NON-PROFIT Organization(churches, charities, hospitals, etc.) will and DOES PROVIDE their donors with:
-
HOW MUCH WAS COLLECTED
-
HOW THE DONATIONS WERE DISTRIBUTED
-
THE COST SPENT ON TRIPS, DINNERS, PLANE TRIPS, HOTELS
-
PASTORS’ SALARIES
-
UTILITIES
Our historical civil-rights churches practice this type of honesty and not the DOUBLE-STANDARD that Joel’s predominately Black Congregation submits to. Joel’s only defense, which he provides no biblcal reference for, is that
“(14:10-14:47)…THE LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNTING TO GOD FOR THEIR STEWARDSHIP.”
***WARNING****AGAIN, TAKE JOEL’S COMMANDMENT NOT TO QUESTION HIM LITERALLY. HE ALREADY BRAGGED ABOUT HAVING BIG MIKE BEAT DOWN A BROTHER IN CHURCH(CLICK HERE). IF YOU’RE NEW, YOU MUST REALIZE THE CONGREGATION SEES HIM AS A BIBLICAL PROPHET WHO IS NOT TO BE QUESTIONED OR APPROACHED WITH CONCERNS. *******WARNING**********
JUST TRUST ME, I HAVE MANY SLEEPLESS NIGHTS:
He goes on to give his just-trust-me promise that he stays up at night trying be honest in his spending. IF HE WAS THAT WORRIED, WHY NOT SIMPLY(like other churches) PRODUCE A BREAKDOWN AS NOTED ABOVE(1.-5). I remember attending the HEALING PLACE Church near Blue Bayou and in the main entrance they had A FULL COLORED BROCHURE ON ALL THEIR COLLECTIONS AND A PIE CHART on how it was distributed.
They don’t oppress AND dominate their congregation with “Do As I Say Without Holding Me Accountable“. In their honesty, they publicly published their total financial contributions and distributions. The shocking thing, it was not isolated for MEMBERS ONLY, it was in the main entrance FOR ANYONE TO READ and even had a way to contact someone if you had CONCERNS!! In contrast Joel States:
“But whether or not THE MONEY IS FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET OR NOT, should have nothing to do with our willingness to be obedient to the commandment of God(15:11-15:22)
A GOOD STEWARD DOESN’T INVEST BLINDLY:
WOW….Joel told his congregation whether he chooses to flush the money “…DOWN THE TOILET OR NOT” should not prevent them from obeying God’s commandments on giving him 10% of their paychecks. Ironically, that’s just what’s happending to their money! Joel says they SHOULD OBEY God’s commandments BUT he has another standard. Why doesn’t Joel let the congregation be accountable to God like he does?
Joel has contradicted his own sermon in a mere 15 minutes. He used the Bible to coerce 10% out of the majority black congregation but THEN ABANDON’S THE BIBLE AND CLAIMS HE’S NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO THEM, ONLY GOD!!! Since Joel knows that to be untrue he can not find a Scripture to back up his Give-Blindly commandment. So, he tells a tale about correcting someone for challenging their preacher.
Obviously, this is a TOTAL CONTRADICTION IN BEING A GOOD STEWARD. A Good Steward knows how his donations are being used and ensure that He/She is not contributing to a deliquency. THERE’S THAT DOUBLE-STANDARD AGAIN, Do as I say…..not as I do! If God sees us contributing to a ministry that claims to be UNTOUCHABLE PROPHETS and are abusing donations, that’s a TOTAL CONTRADICTION in good stewardship. Joel make up your mind…be a good steward or not? If we are called to be good stewards, your give-blindly sermon shows the congregations needs to stop!!
THE TITHER ENJOYS PART OF THAT TITHE GIVEN
Joel’s sermon from the start heads in the wrong direction because he re-defined the biblical word. The tithe was NEVER MONEY but produce for the Levitcal Priesthood’s sacrificial system where these offereings were enjoyed by the tither, his family, the orphan, and God. It should be noted the biblical definition of “giving to God” was SENDING THE TITHE/OFFERING/SACRIFICE UP IN SMOKE VIA FIRE. That’s right….it was consumed as an aroma into the heavens. It was the crooked Priests who kept the tithe for themselves instead of consuming it with fire to God. So Joel if you want to use bible-words then ensure you use bible-definitions. The words alone are just the SKIN OF TRUTH that Joel FILLS WITH LIES.
14:22 You must be certain to tithe28 all the produce of your seed that comes from the field year after year.
14:23 In the presence of the Lord your God YOU MUST EAT FROM THE TITHE of your grain, your new wine,29 your olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the place he chooses to locate his name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always.
14:24 When he30 blesses you, if the31 place where he chooses to locate his name is distant, 14:25 you may convert the tithe into money, secure the money,32 and travel to the place the Lord your God chooses for himself.
14:26 ThenYOU MAY SPEND THE MONEY HOWEVER YOU WISH for cattle, sheep, wine, beer, or whatever you desire. YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD MAY EAT THERE in the presence of the Lord your God and enjoy it.
14:27 As for the Levites in your villages, you must not ignore them, for they have no allotment or inheritance along with you. 14:28 At the end of every three years you must bring all the tithe of your produce, in that very year, and you must store it up in your villages.
14:29 Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work you do.
28 28 tn The Hebrew text uses the infinitive absolute for emphasis, indicated in the translation by the words “be certain.” 29 29 tn This refers to wine in the early stages of fermentation. In its later stages it becomes wine (יַיִן, yayin) in its mature sense. 30 30 tn Heb “the Lord your God.” See note on “He” in 14:2. 31 31 tn The Hebrew text includes “way is so far from you that you are unable to carry it because the.” These words have not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons, because they are redundant. 32 32 tn Heb “bind the silver in your hand.” Biblical Studies Press. (2006; 2006). The NET Bible First Edition; Bible. English. NET Bible.; The NET Bible (Dt 14:22-29). Biblical Studies Press.
So, we see from Scripture that the produce of the land NOT MONEY was to STORED UP. It was to help the Temple Priesthood in their daily blood sacrifices and burnt offerings….of which the tither also got to consume with his family, along with the orphans and widows. THEIR TITHES WERE NOT GIVEN SOLEY TO THE PRIESTHOOD BUT (((((((SHARED))))))) AND (((((((CONSUMED))))))). God did not allow the priest to convert the TITHES into MONEY! That defeats the whole purpose of the Communion meals! Only Joel wants money handed over without accountability!
Even the Apostle Paul identifies those who participate in the consumption of the Promised Land Produce at the Levitical Altar:
10:18 Look at the people of Israel.12 Are not those who eat the sacrifices partners in the altar?
12 12 tn Grk “Israel according to (the) flesh.”
Biblical Studies Press. (2006; 2006). The NET Bible First Edition; Bible. English. NET Bible.; The NET Bible (1 Co 10:18). Biblical Studies Press.
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER IS NOT YOUR EXAMPLE(APPEALING TO HUMAN GREED):
Joel then goes on to tesify that John B. Rockefeller:
11:08-11:12 MINUTES Joel testified that John B. Rockefeller “said he began by tithing on a $1.50 a week”.
First, John Rockefeller is not our example. Even so, John Rockefeller would not invest bad/blind investments. He was a very good researcher. In the days of John Rockefeller, churches made known their collections and distributions. Do you really think John Rockefeller would give to A CHURCH that condemned the congregation for holding their clergy’s stewardship accountable?! Regardless, John Rockefeller is not our example, this is simply an appeal-to-emotion(human greed for money) and not Scripture.
The reason why the naive are laughing and saying their Amens! is because Joel throws in comedy at the right moment, i.e., before anyone thinks about the shocking statement he just made. It’s the same way trainers dominate their animals. If the trainer gives a stern commandment to the animal it will bite back. However, if he creates a diversion of the mind at just the right moment, the animal will forget and submit to instruction. That’s just how Joel treats his congregation. Before they can think about his unbiblical traditions, he cracks a joke and the AMENS and HALLELUJAHS come out the naive congregation who is seeking entertainment over education.
P.S. JOEL, Abraham didn’t tithe his OWN PROPERTY, he ONLY tithed spoils from war ONE TIME not weekly or monthly or annually.

THE BIBLICAL TITHE, FULL EXEGESIS BY RUSSELL EARL KELLEY, PhD
Pt.2-Larry Stockstill’s White Power and Black Remnant Friday, Nov 13 2009
Uncategorized 220 power, 220power, 220su, 225, 225 area code, 225br, Baker Louisiana, baton rouge, baton rouge churches, bethany.com, joel stockstill, kim clement, larry stockstill, louisiana, pensacola outpouring, pensacola revival, prosperity gospel, rush limbaugh, sarah palin, televangelist, www.bethany.com, www.joelstockstill.com, www.larrystockstill.com, www.melaniestockstill.com 9:33 am

Larry says he is confident in these racist organizations labled "christian". When did preserving racist radio become an action for Christians? Why are these organizations more interested in fighting for the racist views of Rush Limbaugh RATHER THAN the civil-rights of the oppressed? WHY DO THE BLACKS AT BETHANY CONTINUE TO CALL LARRY "AN ANNOINTED PROPHET"?
Thus far we have seen Bethany and The Stockstill’s endorsement of two “Conservative” groups that have referred to Pres. Obama with the universal racial insult of “MONKEY” and have aligned himself with Christians who have ties to well known racist/racist groups(SEE PART ONE). In part two, I wanted to elaborate on The Christian Coalitions fight to save racist talk show hosts. Why would Larry Stockstill continue to give his support(Link To Endorsement) and tell his black congregation that The Christian Coalition is Family Friendly? In Larry’s own words:
“Feel confident going to these family-friendly links for information and updates on what is happening in the world today.”

This Is How Larry's Predominately White Male Christian Action Groups Have Describe Our FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN President
Let’s begin with an interview between Bill O’Reilly and Sen. John McCain. Bill O’Reilly of Fox News informs Sen. John McCain that the left is trying to “…change the COMPLEXION of America(0:00-0:003)”. In the context of two white males speaking should we conclude that these white males are in fear that minorities are trying to take over the U.S.A.? That’s not only a logical conclusion BUT John McCain replies, “No you’re right(0:04-0:05)” and then the video goes to mexicans toiling in the fields.

"they're trying to destroy the WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE infrastructure"
Bill O’Reilly goes on to inform Sen McCain “Do you realize what the N.Y. Times want….the far left want, they want to break down THE WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE INFRASTRUCTURE which you’re apart of and so am I AND THEY WANT TO BRING IN MILLIONS OF FOREIGN nationals to BREAK DOWN THE STRUCTURE THAT (((WE))) have(0:24-0:58) Sen. McCain agrees but disagrees with “Well….we need farm workers”. John McCain is attempting to make Mexicans nothing more than indentured servants. He wants Mexicans “temporary workers” not citizens. Why? as both of these scared white males confessed, “THEY WANT TO BREAK DOWN THE WHITE MALE CHRISTIAN INFRASCTRUCTURE WE HAVE”. How can the blacks at Bethany, who’s ancestors were treated in this degrading way, lock arms with these racists??!! Are they ashamed of their ancestors’ fight for Civil Rights?
Larry, You want blacks to save this type of talk??!! Why would a Church want to save paranoid white males who feel threatened that the white Christian complexion is changing?! Didn’t we hear enough of “…the niggers are going to take over if Obama wins, this is a Christian nation” during the campaigns last year! CLICK HERE FOR THE TELEVISED INTERVIEW. Notice he’s not speaking for the “Christian Infrastructure” but the “WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE INFRASTRUCTURE”. They’re not interested in the black Christian or the WHOLE CHRISTIAN INFRASTRUCTURE!
The next Talk Show Larry’s Christian Coalition is trying to save is RUSH LIMBAUGH.

Larry Why Continue To Endorse Predominately White Christian Male Infrastructures When Your Congregation Is Predominately Black In Baker?
Rush Limbaugh carries the paranoid WHITE MALE INFRASTRUCTURE DEMOLITION THEORY on a recorded airing on his Talk Show(1:19-1:37), hurry and view this because just as The Stockstills deleted Joel’s initial comments on Pres. Obama, Rush Limbaugh’s attorney’s have been removing his statement from the W.W.W. It continues to pop up elsewhere when deleted. If my link is no longer available, let me know, I’ll find it again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WALSJE0QsEs&feature=player_embedded (1:19-1:37).
“IN OBAMA’S AMERICA WHITE KIDS ARE GETTING BEAT UP ON SCHOOL BUSES NOW! YOU PUT YOUR KIDS ON A SCHOOL BUS YOU EXPECT SAFETY BUT IN AN OBAMA’S AMERICA THE WHITE KIDS NOW GET BEAT UP WITH THE BLACK KIDS CHEERING, ‘YEEEAAH RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON, AND OF COURSE THEY’RE GOING TO SAY HE DESERVED IT, HE WAS BORN A RACIST……HE’S WHITE!(Rush Limbaugh) ”
Rush Limbaugh was also famous for stating on ESPN that Donovan McNabb’s success was not due to hard work and that McNabb(quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles) was “overrated” because of the liberal media wanting to see a black be successful. Now keep in mind, McNabb was a three time Pro-Bowl qualifier. You get to the pro-bowl by hard work. Well, ESPN fired Rush Limbaugh and apologised for Rush’s racial insult. In McNabb’s own words:

It's sad that you've got to go to skin color. I thought we were through with that whole deal," McNabb told the Philadelphia Daily News. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1627887
Rush Limbaugh while at The (C)onservative (P)olitcal (A)action (C)onference stated that God “…JUST THINKS HE’S RUSH LIMBAUGH”. Why would the Christian Coalition fight for a talk show that makes comments degrading our God like this?! Why would Larry Stockstill continue to feel confident about the Christian Coalition.
The above declaration by Rush Limbaugh was during a joke(3:15) about the death of CNN’s anchor, Larry King. Rush stated that Larry King met St. Peter at the pearly gates and was given a tour of heaven. According to Rush’s joke, Larry King asked “Is Rush Limbaugh In There?”. After ensuring Larry King that Rush hasn’t made it to heaven yet, they both enter for the guided tour.
Upon approaching this “angelic(3:50)” throne with the title “RUSH LIMBAUGH”. Larry King supposedly asks St. Peter, “I thought you said Rush Limbaugh wansn’t here(3:56)??!!”. According to Rush, St. Peter replies “He’s not this is God’s room, He(G0d) just thinks He’s Rush Limbaugh(3:59-4:02). Shame on The Christian Coalition and Larry Stockstill for their fight to save this Anti-God talk!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qtvtBGWgBc
Finally, The Christian Coalitions fight is to save SEAN HANNITY of once again…..FOX NEWS CHANNEL. Yes, the same one Joel Stockstill quoted when he endorsed Sarah Palin.

This Fox News Channel reporter Was Caught In A Lie When He Wanted To Convince America That The Health Care Protesters In D.C. Were A Larger Group Than What It Really Was! So He Deceitfully Used Footage From Another Gather Yet Claimed This Was Recent Footage. Upon Being Caught In His Lie and Dishonest Reporting, He Had No Choice But Admission and Apology, http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-hannity-crowd13-2009nov13,0,157713.story?track=rss
Sean Hannity who claims to be a Roman Catholic is at odds with his own church. Sean’s Church has labled him a hypocrite. Sean only gives The Priest two options (abortion or birth control) the priests says there is a third option “Preach The Good News“, LOL. The Priest also rightly stated that “(3:16-3:21) Sixty-Percent of women are going into abortion clinics because their birth control failed“.
Factcheck.org is constantly busting Sean Hannity for his dishonest news coverage. The most famous was Sean Hannity continuation of a statement Pres. Obama supposedly made that the U.S.A. is no longer a Christian Nation. Factcheck.org stated Pres. Obama’s real statement was we are not “JUST” a Christian nation in explaining the melting pot of our Nation. Factcheck.org was quoted by Sen. John McCain to show his statement were true because they verified them, yet upon checking McCain was caught in several errors!
Finally, why would these dishonest and racist talk show hosts be supported by Larry’s Family Friendly Christian Action Groups?!!

PROSPERITY GOSPEL FACTS

Prosperity Gospel Believers also have the biggest drop out rates, lowest education, lowest incomes. I'M NOT SUPRISED. The poor are always victims to messages/commercials about get-rich-schemes
I came across a very interesting article on the Prosperity Gospel and the facts presented. These televangelist, like The Stockstills, get rich while their congregations either remain on an income plateau or mire in poverty because they gave too much and the church abandoned them once they in turn needed help. So without aid they are now underwater. Furthermore, the education level of most of the adherents are below average which is the root of their Biblical-Illiteracy which in turn caused them to believe the eisegesis.
I’ll let the original author speak for himself.
