“We do not outsource our thoughts to others,” says Michael Lilborn Williams in this Powercast.
We get to hear: why Michael added Lilborn to his public persona, why the late great Don Bartlett didn’t like it, how the late but not great Pat Robertson and all Christianity caused Don to not care if he lived or died, the damage done to Daniel and Michael and multiple millions of others through the 700 Club, Michael’s experiences with Pat, how we have survived Christianity and “its atrocities”, the hijacking of Paul’s teaching, plus so much more! This week we open up discussing the death of Pat Robertson. Both Daniel and Michael share stories about their encounters with him and his ministry.
We discuss why we at the Gospel Revolution often examine the doctrines of other ministries. We are a research ministry and are constantly examining what we teach and what others teach.
Daniel asks the question, with the popularity of Christianity, what has happened to the Gospel over all these years? It seems to have been buried?
Which leads Michael to sharing a poem about one of his ancestors call, In Relig Odhrain by Neil Gaiaman, which, through imagery, tells how the gospel gets buried alive.
This is a special show you and those you share with will benefit immensely from.
Everything does not happen for a reason. Nothing happens for a reason. Everything that happens can have reason applied to it. Wow! What a a statement by Michael Lilborn Williams!
It was good you clarified as a “research ministry”. It really helped! To this point, I struggled with what seemed to be mostly arrogance coming thru your messages: the constant mention of other ministries/ ministers and their “ lies” and false doctrines: purporting the “Destruction of millions.”
As mere men yourselves, there will be generations to come who will disprove your teachings also, bc of greater revelatory knowledge thus, begs the question whether it will be appropriate for them to say that YOU, lied and taught false information to the destruction of millions?
Intent should be emphasized more. Christianity almost did me in, as well. I hate it. It filled me with crippling fear. But I am keenly aware the intent to destroy me was NOT there. It was just pure ignorance. It’s always ignorance. Ignorance causes harm in any scenario.
Which is why balance is important.
Case in point.
My biological father was an alcoholic and a misery to the family. The beginning of the last ten yrs of his life he had to have a hip replaced and it knocked him on his ass literally. Flipping thru day time television, he stopped one afternoon, at a Pat Robertson show. (To this point my father had zero interest or consideration of a God.)
in that moment however, it obviously didn’t matter whether Pat preached the pure gospel as we know it or not: my father believed and prayed and it instantly changed him from an alcoholic to one of the kindest happiest cleanest guys my mother FINALLY had the pleasure of being cherished by. For her, heaven cane to earth.. by a TV remote via 700Club.
It depends who’s telling the story, for sure
Christ is all …in all.
We totally see and believe this to be true for all of humanity..,yet somehow, we ( myself included) do not extend this grace to the average (ignorant) Christian in Christianity.
Peace
