Just for the record, I lived near Pastor Hagee in San Antonio in the Dominion. He does not live on a Ranch, but has a nice home. No horses, not a ranch.
Read the thread about van impe below or better yet,you could search this site or someother christian sites about televangelist and you will find hagee. He is like most of the other televangelist..money ,money,money. He lives on a huge ranch for crying out loud. Why doesn`t he scale back his lifestyle and give the money to help the poor like his God tells him to do? No,he would rather spend his money on elaborate tv sets and horses etc. obviously that is more important to him. Doesn`t God say don`t store up treasures on earth? I also have trouble listening to someone who says he is called of God,has the calling of God in his life,so much so that he is on the world stage being the voice of God, interpreting God`s word and he doesn`t have the discipline over his own body. Maybe he has some kind of problem that can`t be controlled but if he is aligning himself with the likes of copeland then he will tell you that God will cure you of any physical or mental ailment. If you are not receiving healing then you don`t have enough faith. Like most televangelist it`s all about fame and fortune. Just because someone holds a bible in their hand and can quote scripture..some of it falsely.. does not make him a man of God. I`ve seen him lately on Kenneth Copelands telethon. `Let`s give the lord a shout of praise in the house of God`.
Van Impe oh you mean that nut that is on late night on one of my 12 "Christian" channels on U-verse. I wish these channels were optional. I also wish that AT&T would also have Islamic, Jewish, and Hindu programming on their U-100 package included. They don't. I will take a new president, FTC action, and civil litigation for that to happen. Even Dish, Direct TV, and the pseudo-monopoly Time Warner Cable does not either. He turns the Bible into a psychic medium. I call him Holy Cleo, part Holy part Ms. Cleo. Has any of his predictions came true? He should be looked at. Pat Robertson followed suit briefly. John Hagee is kind of like the Jerry Falwell back in the day when he thought all Black people were evil if you search wikipedia it tells you back in the 50s during his Ol Gospel Hour about him.
John Hagee is a selfish hate monger. Even though I do not believe in political correctness or censorship this fellow pastor has brainwashed a lot of people and thinks only of himself, not cornerstone. He is like that of a cult leader.
I think there should be a rule that if religion gets into politics they should be taxed and not given a free ride. If someones kids want to go to church school joe the taxpayer should not pay for it as it is a violation of the establishment clause of the first amendment. I am not liberal, nor by any means conservative.
I like the sermons of Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church he does not denounce anyone just speaks the important points of faith and religion. A lot of people have chastised him about it but only because his view-ship and attendance is higher than any other church, he does not mix with politics, or cuts people down. That is what a church should be like. If you want to speak out against people or anyone, it does not belong in the church, it belongs in the bar, chat room, or other establishment.
In Texas everyone knows HEB stands for the supermarket giant Herbert E. Butts great store by the way. I think Hagee has no place to talk seeing he is the poster boy for the sin of gluttony. Yes, he should repent.
wrong HEB stands for Howard Edward Butt. Charles Butt signs the paychecks. I know I use to work there.
I heard Mr Hagee say one night that HEB stands for Hagees Eat Better. Yep, and it shows too. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Just think of the poor people who do without so they can send him their tithe money on a monthly basis. This takes a lot of nerve, don't you think? I sure didn't hear any compassion or love in that.
Many people place all their confidence and trust in a TV ministry and one day they will be sorely disappointed. They want "fast food" religion and rarely if ever take the time to open up their own dusty Bibles and read for themselves.... if they even have one. They are like the baby bird in the nest who opens it's mouth and swallows anything it's mother shoves down it's gullet.
WAKE UP people.... study the Word of God for yourselves.

I don't listen to John Hagee. I am not sure where he stands.
All I do know, is when God's spirit is truly present - there is a tremendous conviction of sin - a desire for repentance. This is what we need to see today. People just can't see sin as sin and they have little conviciton of it or a desire to repent.
Hell is an awful place whatever or wherever it is. Heaven has been put in the reach of anyone - Jesus is the key. This is what we need to share with people. They need to know the basic truth of salvation.
As for John Hagee's weight. He is too fat. Gluttony is a sin. As Christians we shouldn't let anything master us.......food, drink,drugs....etc...

Have you tried using your remote?
It's so simple...
What I usually do, when a bunch of nonsense , cursing, sex, idolatry, and trash
appears on my screen by accident" I just use the change channel/program switches..
Unless I think that there might be some thing I can get out of it"from continuing to watch it.
God Bless You
my $.02

totally irresistable.
