Surprised some mod hasn't zapped this or moved it to Round Table.
Anywho....4 pages, until it gets moved.

Proverbs 24:17-18
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
And do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;
Or the LORD will see it and be displeased,
And turn His anger away from him.
Probably has something to do with him being prominent, and their memebers having questions.
There’s one in every one of these threads. Somehow you think you come off as enlightened, when most just see posts like this as ignorant of theooogy and history.
To be fair, some person or organization has to be the largest real estate owner in the world. (And I don't know whether the statement above is true or false.) And it isn't the universal Catholic Church that owns property, it is the local diocese or archdiocese. Moreover, just because they own the buildings doesn't mean they are profiting from that ownership. In most areas of the country, the number of parishes are shrinking and the Catholic Church is jettisoning the buildings. They are bleeding financially from having to provide upkeep to ancient buildings without a sufficient number of parishioners to pay overhead costs. But there isn't much of a market these days for old Catholic Churches.
But a diocese may have 80 to 100 parishes while a Protestant or non-denominational church may have just 1 or a handful. A more apt comparison might be whether the Catholic Church, which is the oldest and most established Christian denomination in the world, owns more or less real estate than all of the other Christian-based churches around the world. I don't have an answer to that, either.
The issue should not be so much 'how much real estate does a Church own?' but 'how does a Church utilize the assets it has been provided?' In that context, while I am biased, I would say there is no Church that does as much for the poor than the Catholic Church.
I don’t think I’m enlightened. Just understand the reality. Like I said, I can get into a religion debate if you want, but we all know how that will turn out. It comes down to one basic question. Is the Bible true?
It’s still comical to me that some of the same people that blast Perry love and defend Donald Trump.
Geez how was he ever allowed to minister on the Clemson football field.?? I hope CDS learned something from that experience. I am not talking about separation of church and state here......more like separation from cult leaders.
Doesn't it talk in the bible about how hard it is for a rich man to get into heaven? Plus the parable where Jesus asked the man to give up his wealth and follow him? Then the whole point about Jesus turning over the tables on the money changers in the temple? I think the bible is more anti wealth than pro wealth.
Finally, isn't the whole point about mansions of gold as being a reward for service on earth where you follow God instead of money?
It worked for Dr. Gene Scott. Used to get that dude on a wild feed on my ginormous satellite dish back in the early 90s. Not sure I ever saw anything else quite like his shtick.
Ugh.... “Christianity” just took another huge blow. That’s who the masses associate Christians with.
That picture from 2012 doesn't explain why 5 years later many of you go full blown retard and continually bring up this guy for no apparent present day reason. New material fellas please, lets move on.
I feel a lot of pity for the man.
Never really agreed with how he managed a church, kept the finacials under lock and key, guilted/scared people into tithing, manipulated the system to have best selling books and always acted arrogant and condescending while believing he was the smartest guy in the room but he obviously has some serious issues and I hope he gets help.
Pride goeth before a fall.

k....here goes: Bc almost everyone knew he was a scoundel back then and bc we know he is a scoundrel now. Ergo, should have never been associated with Clemson University. I highly doubt you will get it anyway, but at least I tried.
