Brian Head Welch tweeted this earlier and I checked it out. He was sorta chastising Linn but not endorsing those mentioned.
I grew up with frauds like Copeland Hinn and in his later days Roberts. People like this will always be around. I'm glad Jerry Sr never really bought into this like his contemporaries. I think if they are going to be out in public with their message, Linn and those like him should be too. It's not like its a secret!
On a side note, Paula White is kinda a hottie. What she's doing sleeping with Benny Hinn and his fake accent! He either has a big wallet or big..... :shock:

Linn writes a rap calling a bunch of TV preacher Copeland, Osteen, Hinn, White etc, false prophets/teachers
Whites kid writes an open letter saying he loves his mom (apparently so have a lot of other guys) and he should have brought his concerns to them in private. And they all love Jesus
Linn then writes that its great and all and then lists why he feels like he does.

How's that?

Sounds to me like he is dead on the money (no pun intended). His response to Paula White's son shows an incredible grasp of biblical truth and a tactful boldness to speak that truth in love.

Just read Shai Linne's response to the open letter. That will explain everything, and it's a really good read regardless.

I tweeted this yesterday why aren't you reading every single one of my tweets?!?!?!!

ALUmnus, your tweet is actually how I heard about this. The letter from Shai Linne is pretty boss. Can't really argue against it.

When I was younger, I used to feel bad when I could not give to a preacher's "money amount", especially if they said "the Lord told me". I was young, loved the Lord, had a job and understood what tithes and offering were. So to be honest with you, it was rather intimidating seeing most of the people from my row going up to the alter to give.

However, now that I'm older and I understand the Bible better, I know that God will not hate me if I do not give an offering to a guest preacher. I know that if I do not have it, I will not give it. I think Shai Linne had a lot of courage to "pull the card" of some of today's prominent preachers. With that being said, I will share this story with you all...

One the preachers named by Shai Linne came to my church years ago for the second time. The preacher said the Lord told them to ask for $1,000 dollars. Some people went up with checks. The preacher looked instinctively at the money coming forward to see if the amount was correct, grabbed the checks and had their armorbearer put the money into a bag/sack. One lady sent her two daughters up to the alter with less than the desired amount. The preacher then said to the young girls to go back because what they gave was "not enough" and "you have not been called for yet".

When the "$1,000-line" drew thin, the preacher then asked for $100 dollar people to come up. Many people came to the alter after this decree. And then the preacher called for all others to come. One lady went as far a giving her high-heeled pumps as an offering. The preacher held the shoes up as if the shoes were "acceptable".

Needless the say, I was so disappointed with this preacher's actions that I decided not to support this preacher any longer. This meant no more books, no more CDs, nada. Thank goodness my pastor felt the same way too. This preacher was not asked to come back again. If you're wondering why did my pastor invite this person back a second time, it's because the guest pastor acted like they had some sense the first time. The guest pastor was more humble (because they were still an up-and-comer) and in terms of money, they didn't put a dollar amount on the offerings.

i go by this rule. christianity is not begrudgingly being obedient to Christ. If i have one inkling that i'm doing this just because i'm supposed to, then i don't do it because its worthless in the eyes of God.

Excellent work by Shai Linne. Some are sincerely deluded, others are knowingly and purposely perverting the gospel for their own benefit.
