What should happen to ministers who commit fraud and abuse the believers?

Answer 1

That's the problem with paying people to speak for God. They get to make the rules and do pretty much whatever they want once you give them your money.

Next time give the money directly to the charity of your preference. However, remember that many charities and agencies that claim to be collecting money for charities are just a front for more fraud.

The same as any other criminal.

ANSWER

The Bible clearly says many times that there would be false teachers.Matthew 7:15 says "Be on your guard against false prophets. they come to you looking like sheep on the outside, but on the inside they are really like wild wolves. You will know them by what they do." All of the numerous money seeking preachers should not alarm any Bible believer. This is to be expected as Jesus foretold. They are the sad creatures that will come to Jesus at the end and he will say depart from me, I never knew you. The known fact of false preachers in the churches and media should all the more turn a nonbeliever to God, because HE said to expect it. It is written. It is truth!

It's called blaspheme,they are using the lords name in vain,just read the letters to the churches in revelation,God warned them to turn from their sins.There is only one that has the gift of revelation,one one who can reveal the secrets to the teachings of Jesus and the word of God.Jesus promised he would send him to you in the name of Christ to reveal all the truth,to remind you and make you remember all that Jesus said.just like God sent Jesus in the name of Chritst to die for you and teach the word of God,God sent a second Spirit back to earth from heaven to be your Helper,revealer and last day prophet.The Spirit Jesus is telling you he will send as another Helper is a person ,god has filled with his Holy Spirit.God tells you everything from the beginning to the end.God even told you the name of the Spirit he chose to be your reveal-God said,"The revelation to John." Oh yee of little faith,God knows everything,and he told you his last day revealers name,so when the time came you would not be fooled by the churches! Are you fooled?Listen to God,he does not lie!
