What Are Religious Leaders Saying About The Teaches Of Ester Hicks?

From Religion & Spirituality Forum:

What are religious leaders saying about the teaches of Ester Hicks? Does Careful Dollar, Joyce Myers or T.D Jake's espouses the teachings of Ester Hicks? If so then why?

Answer: I go ogled and can not find anything so I don't know about them but here is what Oprah Winfrey says: "Esther Hicks is truly one of the greatest teachers I have come across (along with Jose Silva, Neale Donald Walsh and Bob Proctor)". She was quite annoyed to see that Esther Hicks was edited out of the movie The Secret: "It is my belief that The Secret is NOT based on the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles. It simply could not have been! Instead, I believe Rhonda developed the Secret and was influenced not by the Science of Getting Rich but by the books by Esther Hicks. After all, Esther Hicks was originally supposed to get 10% of revenues from the Secret".

According to them, Abraham is a group of spirits that have come together to share their wisdom through Esther. Abraham's teachings could be classified as New Age: how to live a better life through the concept of law of attraction. Esther and Jerry have millions of followers, written a series of bestsellers, and constantly sell out cruise packages to share their message. The Hicks are masters at what they do. Their message is helpful and inspiring to their audience, and in most cases cannot be refuted or argued. The principles that they teach have been used for millennial, and in many ways resemble the wisdom of the Bible or Buddhism. Their tenor is not religious, however, and they go to great lengths to avoid been seen as religious leaders or followed as a cult."

Do Ministers Of Religions Other Than In Christianity Profit From Their Profession?

From Religion & Spirituality Forum:

Do ministers of religions other than in Christianity profit from their profession? I am not talking about just earning a living...I am talking about making a substantial gain from the profession such as the Christian Evangelists have. Examples: Creflo Dollar Joyce Meyer T.D. Jakes Why don't we ever hear of some Rabbi, Cleric,or Guru getting rich from their religion?

Answer: It's hard to top corruption levels found in Christianity because it is generally much harder to be a priest, Am am, etc. Becoming a Christian minister on TV is about as hard as falling off a bar stool, so this lack of credentials and training leads to abuse.

R U A Fan Of Television Preachers/Televangelists...Do They Serve A Purpose Or Is It A Clever Business Venture?

From Media & Journalism Forum:

R u a fan of television preachers/televangelists...Do they serve a purpose or is it a clever business venture? Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church in Houston has an average weekend attendance of 45,000 and an annual budget of $72.6 million. Os teen is one of a new breed of televangelists -- Joyce Meyer, T.D. Jake's, and Careful Dollar are also rising stars -- who are preaching a less sanctimonious, more inclusive message.

Answer: Careful Dollar is a true, genuine Christian minister and his ministry is very blessed of God. He is not a counterfeit. Joel Os teen preaches a politically correct message. I think he is careful to prepare his sermons in a way that doesn't "offend" anyone. Yes, his church is growing and prospering. However, it does not bother me when a man/woman's ministry is blessed of God and prospers. They have put their life into their ministries, and given of themselves like other Pol. have not done. Why should they be condemned for that. If they take the time to author a book or record music and use the profit to build a nice home, so what? If God is offended, he can take back what he has given them in a heart beat. Yes, there are a few who give TV evangelists a bad name but most of them are true servants of God. One day there will be a Judgment Day and then the score will be evened.
