"For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears." (Acts 20:29-31)
FALSE TEACHER: JOHN HAGEE
UNBIBLICAL STATEMENTS FROM JOHN HAGEE
"Poverty is caused by sin and disobeying the Word of God." (John Hagee, Praise-A-Thon, TBN, April 16, 1993)
"Poverty is a curse." (John Hagee, Praise-A-Thon, TBN, November 4, 1992)
"The Jews were not rejecting Jesus as Messiah. It was Jesus who was refusing to be the Messiah to the Jews."
(John Hagee, "Should Christians Support Israel?," Pages 67 -68)
"Jesus was not poor... Jesus had a nice house! John 1:38 says that Jesus turned to those that were following him and said, 'Come with me.' And they said, 'Where dwellest thou?' He said, 'Come and see.' And Jesus took that whole crowd home with Him to stay in His House. That meant it was a big house! Jesus wore fine clothes! John 19:23 says, 'He had a seamless robe.' Roman soldiers gambled for it at the foot of the cross. It was a designer original! It was valuable enough for them to want it! And then there are Christians that have a poverty complex that says, 'Well, I feel guilty about having nice things.' Jesus didn't!"
(John Hagee, Praise-AThon, TBN, November 5, 2004)
