he’s like 1000 years old, too. he apparently won’t die. maybe god doesn’t even want him.
Well, actually he is right…

Even Satan is taking a pass.
Right; if anything the “controversial social issues” pastors have been murdered for preaching usually involve treating Black people as actual human beings.
$65 Spirit Books seems cheap for pulpit shooting fear.

What’s that old saying? “God doesn’t want him and the devil is afraid he’ll take over”
Bakker is losing his confidence man edge: Price should have been $64.99
This concept is very controversial… What Will come next? “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself”?

If you haven’t seen it - The Eyes of Tammy Fay is worth a watch.
And yes - he’s a shit in that too.
Right-wing projection’s getting scarier.
It would be interesting if Bakker proved the truth of his claim through personal experience.
