Subject: PFAKES - Peddling a popularized God in sound-bite mentality with "Holy Hardware"

PFAKES Peddling a popularized God in sound-bite mentality so that He's alatable for the masses

Peddling of Christian trinkets trivializes the name of God! Ken Copeland, who is promoted by Mike Kear (Kear deleted his link to Copeland 24 hours after I mentioned it on this site!), and defended by Jack Howell is a proponent of the "prosperity gospel," which claims that God wants every believer to be materially affluent, wrote this blaspheme:
"God cannot do anything for you apart or separate from faith," for "faith is God's source of power."

The following slogans are just some of the paraphernalia and trashy trinkets “for Christ” one man prostitutes to make a livelihood out of promoting his “holy hardware” on multi sites - some are linked to Dake’s and Jack’s site. These are examples from the selection criticized by this site that Jack defends.

”Jesus Would Have Ridden A Harley!”

“Riding For Jesus”

“Jesus Would Have Ridden A Motorcycle”

“Jesus Would Have Ridden A Gold Wing”

“Dake Bible # 1 Fan! Long Sleeve T-Shirt”

"Jesus Rules Dude" Bumper Sticker


Modern Day Money Changers? To harsh? - YOU Decide

Christian paraphernalia frequently subverts Scripture by trivializing God's name. The Old Testament practice of not even fully writing out the name of God (the Tetragrammation mentioned recently)in honor of His holiness reflects poorly on glow-in-the-dark crosses and smiley-face key rings with 'God loves you' slogans. Whatever represents God without reverence profanes His name. How much Moore does it profane His name when emblazoned across the PROUD sixty-some-odd inch gut giggling up and down the aisles of an Oklahoma Wal Mart! LOL! Have mercy!

Matthew 15
7You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
8" 'These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
